Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
Here’s a rare grille.
“From a recent find of parts hidden away many years, This is a used and abused original front grille from a Ford GP as pictured. It’s used, it’s been repainted many times. His minor dings, see photos, will clean up for a beautiful front grille.”

This needs the clutch replaced. The seller mentions it has an ‘aluminum’ buick V-6; however, I suspect the seller has confused that with the aluminum V-8. The engine is most likely cast iron if it is a V-6. This may be a good price.
“1953 jeep willys, army green with rebuilt Buick v6 aluminum engine, only 38,000 miles. New muncie 4 speed transmission with high low overdrive. 4×4. Canvas top with bucket seats and old school cb radio. This things awesome, its lifted, it has a working winch on the front bumper, like new tires. Only issue is it needs the clutch replaced. If you’re good with cars the price I’m asking is a steal. Parts are inexpensive, all gm, and easy to come by. If you have it done professionally however you’re looking at about $1200, I have the quote on hand. All told you’d be spending around $4200 if you go that route, and $3800 tops if you can do it yourself. I’m in the military and I just don’t have the time or resources to get this fixed. It’s worth $5500 with everything working right, so I could easily ask for $4000, but Im dropping it to $3000 just for the inconvenience of it. Please call or text if interested, I’m horrible about checking email. Thanks for your time. My name’s Jared by the way. (317) 371-3709”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
This doesn’t run.
“1941 Military Jeep used in North Africa by the US Army. 4 cylinder, manual transmission, 4×4. Suitable for restoration. not in running condition. Arizona title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
This has some early hubs. It appears in good shape.
“runs good, needs master brake cylinder”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500
(11/02/2009) This has been for sale for several years. It’s missing steps and original seats, but otherwise looks like a good price. It runs and drives.
“
For sale is our Willys CJ2A nicknamed Limey for obvious reasons. While we have owned Limey we have replaced the clutch, water pump, head gasket, head studs/nuts and have inspected the brakes. The L head 4 cylinder runs good. The T90 3 speed transmission is strong and does not pop out of second gear. 4WD works great. Limey has also been converted to 12 volts. Overall the body condition is fair to good, it would need work to be perfect but it is usable as is now. The exhaust system also needs some work but we are including a piece of piping that should fix the problem. We also have a roll-bar that we can throw in if interested. Limey’s S/N is 153,891 and the frame tag, body tag and S/N tag all match. In addition the toeboard gusset and tailgate numbers match, their number is 143,524. While this S/N would make Limey a 1948, we have clear Minnesota title as a 1947. We are asking $2,200 OBO for Limey. Please e-mail with questions or to get contact information.”

“1945 MB 38 military Jeep. Runs and drives (just barely!) needs total restoration. 4 cyl 134 CI motor, T-90 trans. Military tires. Some extra parts. No top, great project.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,000
The title lists this as a Ford, but the wheel well lids don’t look GPWish.
“I am listing this military jeep for a friend. Asking price is $17,000 obo. Runs great, has been used the past few years in 4th of July parades in Baraga, Houghton, and Marquette (among other locations). Please respond if you are interested or have any questions.”

Dan notes that Paul Berry checked this out personally and feels it is a special order of a regular wagon with barn doors
(03/21/2012) It appear solid.
“I originally bought this Jeep because it is the style I always wanted, 4WD with windows and delivery doors. I wanted something cool and fun to drive around. This Willys starts, runs and drives really well,everything works. It is 50 years old and has some rust under the doors. The paint job is fair, glass is all good. It could be a good driver or solid restoration. I have an overdrive kit for it and replaced the rear main and front axle seals in 2011.”
UPDATE: **SLD** Was $2800.
There appears to be some rust along the sides.

(04/17/2012) This is only 2wd. Looks nice though.
“Restored with 350 C.I. and 700 R4 transmission – 4×2 automatic. Must see to truly appreciate.Too many details to list on restoration work. Fun to drive. THE PRICE IS FIRM! Would consider trade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(03/15/2012) Hard to say just how much value is here.
“I DO have a Kansas title to it!!
The running gear and engine seem to be in working order, the engine does turn over freely, and was last running about 10 years ago.
There is a “rebuild tag on the engine dated 12/12/44. The engine and transmission (T84) are both Ford and have the “F” on the bolts. The oil filter is also marked for ARMY use.
It has the two front seats, glove box on the passenger side( one information plate is missing), the fire extinguisher bracket is still intact, and the original foot pedals are there. ALSO, throwing in a ton of extra parts!!
The tub is rough (mainly floor pan rust), but easy to restore, the frame has previous damage the the front horns,
and has been sitting for 45 years. The fenders are in good condition, but them and the hood are homemade (good looking work though).
Things that are missing is the back seat, windshield frame, and rear drive shaft, and some gauges.
If you have more questions feel free to ask”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**

“Willis Jeep, 1956 cj3, Runs and Drives good, 4 wheel drive works, original body and drive train, Good jeep to restore.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(02/10/2012) The fenders appear to have an unusual mod in the front. The body looks more like a replacement fiberglass body than a ’48 body. The rear axle looks CJ-2Aish. Overall it looks like a solid build.
“1948 WILLYS JEEP ON 1942 GPW FRAME. RUNS AND DRIVES WELL. VERY GOOD OVERALL CONDITION. WINCH AND SOFT TOP (NOT PICTURED) INCLUDED $4995 208-FIVE 7 THREE-SIX TWO 5 FIVE”

Here’s a photograph from a December 1941 issue of Mechanix Magazine that shows a Ford GP participating in war games at the dawn of the US’s official entry into WWII.

Steve forwarded this video of Tim’s jeep Priority running the Hill Climb at the Adventure Park in Monroe, Washington. I don’t know anything about the Park, but here’s a link to the website. Here’s an article about the “Prison Break” event. Here’s the Facebook page.
Priority is powered by an aluminum V-8 followed by a Ford Top-loader four speed that used to be in my father’s jeep. It’s got a Parkette fiberglass body with a Bobcat hood. He runs an independent suspension that has been updated since I last saw the jeep, so I’m looking forward to my next climb underneath it.
This looks very nice, but isn’t entirely original.

This is an unusual CJ-6.
“standard transmission, 4 wheel drive. oil changed in transmission and motor, also has new spark plugs, inside is rhino lined. is classified as a cj6 has clean title and has been licensed before”
This looks solid.
“Street Smart Auto Brokers is very pleased to bring you a very rare and popular 1946 Willy’s Jeep that has been completely restored.
We sent this to our Jeep mechanics to do the full inspection and they said this Willy’s rides and looks like its been done right. The steering is tight and it just drives solid.
Some of the outstanding features of this rig are…
12 Volt conversion
Alternator & dual batteries
Reflex shocks
Warn HS 9500i Winch
Superwinch Hubs
Great tires
Sun Pro gauges – all functioning
Excellent seats
We don’t have any restoration history on it and that is why we asked our mechanics to go through it with a fine tooth comb.
The Willy’s is not on our lot, so please call Frank, Josh, Rory or Loren at 719-434-8443 to set up an appointment to see the Jeep.”
