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 .
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $3500.
Needs a paint job at the very least.
“A great project, lots of potential.
Runs and drives, good tires, Kaiser motor, great for deer lease, off road, has tow bar if needed, removable hard top and spare tire rack.
$3500.00 or reasonable offers considered.”
This might have a Warn OD, too.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000
Looks like the front frame rails have been patched? I can’t quite tell for sure.
“I’m selling my WWll Willys. I’m too old to drive it anymore. Only used in the Veterans day parade the last few years. The way you see it is the way I bought it. Numbers matching chassis with a new tub. Has G.I. tow bar and pintel hook. Reproduction .30 cal. machine gun with pedestal. Dash mounted rifle scabbard.”
Only habit is holding this body together. Still, for $350, there might be value.
“Up for sale is this Willys CJ-3A Jeep. I believe it is a 1952 based on my research on the serial number, but there is NO TITLE so I am not positive. This is a true barn find, actually the barn was much nicer than the Willys (lol). It is complete but in very poor condition. The hood and grille are the only body pieces that are in decent condition, the body tub and cab are rotted. The flat head engine is seized because whoever stopped working on the engine 30 odd years ago left three of the four spark plugs out. The transmission goes into all gears and the thing rolls so the differentials are free too. I am guessing that the transmission, transfer case, drive shafts and differentials are all serviceable with some refreshment (new fluids, grease, seals and such). There is no tailgate. The frame is rusty too and may be too weak to be usable. Basically what you see is what yu get. This is a perfect parts vehicle for your project as it is completely intact and all of the little parts that nickel and dime you are here. The only obvious things missing are the seats, the passenger seat was gone when I found it and I am keeping the driver’s frame for my project.
Do not e-mail or text me, I will not respond. Do it the old fashioned way, talk to me! Call Gary at 440-728-0057 BETWEEN 3 pm to 11:30 pm ONLY. Thanks for looking, good luck in your search.”

Lots of mods on this crawler.
“This is a one of a kind Willys that was built by a former Dynamics Engineer at Jeep and he also owned Nth Degree Mobility. With a small amount of work this Willys would be fully ready to hit the hit the trails. The Willys needs to have the Carb tuned and a new battery installed (has bad new Optima). This Willys has been wheeled all over the country from the Sierras to Michigan. The vehicle was completely rebuilt about 10 years ago and then parked till 3 years ago when I purchased. I replaced and cleaned the entire fuel system and got her up and running, wheeled it, loved it but just do not have room for it in my smaller home with a growing family and another jeep. Make me a reasonable offer, title in hand.

Here a CJ-3B with an unusual dash and steering wheel design. It’s got kind of an antique feel that I find interesting. It was photographed and posted by RUD66.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
There’s a neat drawing of a dealership on the back of this program. The Schotts owned a Willys Dealership (more than 1?). This is the same Schotts that would eventually own the Cincinnati Reds. There are a few items from their dealership still around, including this altoy jeepster and this ashtray plate.
I spotted this ad with some unusual tires. Anyone ever seen these?
“VINTAGE MAGAZINE ADVERTISEMENT page measuring approximately10 x 13 inches in very good condition, two separate pages of boys & girls fashions, kids ride in “Willys Jeep with Goodyear’s experimental Neothane tires” the text says.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.
Looks solid.

From the inside this body appears to have the tool indents. It has the three data plates, too. It could be a VEC.

I’m not sure how this thing folds together, but I like the way it looks setup!
I like reading books about the history of odd subjects. Whether gum, beer , milk or salt, if it is a history about something food related, I want to read it. A few years ago I read a fun little book about the history of popcorn called Popped Culture: A Social History of Popcorn in America by Andrew Smith. I was surprised to learn how many different kinds of popcorn there are, having grown up on the basic non-branded yellow variety. So, when I spotted this article about popcorn trailers that were pulled by Willys Wagons, I thought it was interesting. Below you can see the trailers built by Clyde Gould, see one of two wagons that pulled them, and learn about his attempt to create a popcorn business. Unfortunately, the article doesn’t indicate how successful he was or what happened to the trailers.
You can read the entire article here: http://blog.modernmechanix.com/he-popped-corn-into-a-fortune/
This looks good, though the pics aren’t the best.
“I am selling my 1943 WWII Jeep Ford GPW. This is the real thing runs and drives great. This would be a great vehicle for a frame up restoration or drive it like it is. I hate to let her go but remodeling house and need the cash. My lose is your gain if this is what you are looking for.
Good: Its the real deal. GPW Block, Willys Head, Many ‘F” stamps solid running vehicle original three speed 4wd works. two combat rims included and many other spare parts.
Bad: Converted to 12 volt (that may not be bad to some folks but not the original set up). Spings, shocks and spring hangers are not original. (original set of springs and new set of correct hangers included. Some Bondo in gas tank area (old repair) Does not have a top or bows aftermarket Warn locking front humbs installed.
This is a 69 year old vehicle but still very solid. I want to sell it so the reserve is resonable. You can call me with questions, there is no info on data plates. 843 314-3362 Eric”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Winning bid was $4000.
This no reserve auction has already reached a bid price of $3500. It has no motor.
“You are bidding on a rare 1You are bidding on a rare 1942 ford script gpw jeep. This ford jeep has the willys frame with gpw serial number stamped on it which to my understanding is rare as ford used willys frames only in February and March of 1942. The serial number is ( gpw 5204 ) the frame, data plate and title all match, Date of delivery is 3-10-42 . I have a clear Colorado title for the jeep.
Unfortunately the engine was removed so the jeep does not come with a motor. I do however have a completely rebuilt civilian flat head 4 cylinder that the winning bidder can purchase if they so choose.
The transmission is an original T-84, I have taken it apart cleaned, sandblasted and primed it. I bought some new bearings, seals, small parts kit and a few other things to rebuild the transmission, its ready to put back together.
The transfer case I took apart and cleaned, It still has the original OD on it so I decided not to sand blast it. The emergency brake pad is in great shape. I bought seals and bearings for it and its also ready to be put back together.
Seat frames, front fenders, head lights, marker lights, radiator, body handles, ax bracket, leaf springs, axles, U bolts, and a lot of bolts are stamped F along with much much more.
The steering wheel is original and in great condition with no cracks.
Speedometer looks really nice
Comes with 3 combat wheels
has original exhaust pipe and muffler
original drive shafts
very nice windshield frame with the hardware to mount the canvas top, no cracks in the glass ether.
the frame is in great shape but does need a new rear bumper as part of it was cut off.
The body is in good shape with a very nice Ford script on the back. The brace under the passenger seat has some rust coming through on top of the floor but under neath is almost perfect, in front of that is very nice and solid with no rust. The rear floor does have some gone through rust in it so will probably need replaced or patched up. tool boxes are in good shape, there is a little gone through rust where the ax handle goes and the fuel tank sump should probably be replaced. Other than that the body is very nice and has the patina look to it….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2995
This looks like a great price.
“For Sale 1954 Willys 3B. has a 2″ lift, 31″ tires that are almost new. Has the original 4 cyl. I really hate to see it go.”
No title. Now that’s a hood bump!
“1946 WILLYS CJ2A JEEP–$1500 OBO, this is my mechanics hunting jeep, I am listing it for him. Call Bryan at Bryan’s Automotive at nine-one-8-991-0-two-one-two, he can tell you all about it.
It starts, runs, drives, and stops great, 4 wheel drive works great, has a great running “F” head engine, (more power than the original flathead engine),T-90 tranny does not jump out of gear, (transfercase needs shift levers, they are included, you install if you want), never overheated while roaming around the lease for several hours at a time, tires are old, but have never lost air while he has had it, a spare will be included, has oil and temp gauge (important to have) changed to 12 volts with alternator and battery.
It runs great, but looks like _ _ _ _, well you know what I mean, looks good at 40 feet. But, the looks doesn’t keep it from running great and you don’t have to worry about scratching it up, …all in all, it is a great old jeep to just have fun with.
Does not have a title, bill of sale will be provided, I can get titles for around $200 extra if you want one.”

This has an early body.
“I thought I would throw my Willys on here to see if there was any interest. It is a 46, has a ford 302, ford 9″ rear end with a spool, dana 44 front end, dana 300 twin stick transfer case, and runs and drives pretty well. It does need some work. It could use new leaf springs (which I have) the lights wired, a little body work, and gauges hooked up. I was using it as a big ATV, but lost access to the land I was driving it on. I don’t have a title for it, but I can get one for it if that is a deal breaker. I don’t NEED to sell it, but I want to see what I might be able to get for it since I don’t use it any more. Don’t be afraid to make me an offer. It’s a fun little toy or a drivable project that would be pretty bad ass when it’s finished.
I’m asking $2000 or best offer”
