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: **SOLD** Was $4800
I think a buyer would be way better off buying the jeep below and shipping it cross country than purchasing this.
“1946 Willys Jeep, everything has been restored take apart and rebuilt.
-new wiring
-new gas tank
-new wiring
-new engine
-new brakes
-new brake lines

-and much more, you get the idea

It runs and drives”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
Here’s a good price on a generator with a Willys motor.
“PE-95-G
signal Corps generator
WWII / Korean war generator
Willys Jeep motor
four-cylinder Flathead
Condition is as shown in pictures. I do have a carburetor somewhere, need to find it on the workbench. Starter windings in the generator still crank the motor over. Last fired up in 2000 and generated power. Approximately 250 hours on generator. $300 or best offer”
Looks nice and comes with a Bobcat hood, but a better description would help.
“307 CHEVY 210 HP
TO MUCH TO LIST
15 THOUSAND FRIM”
http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/3137868896.html
Based on the hood scoop, I’m gonna guess this has at least a couple mods.
“1942 Jeep Willys. Does not run. Has original engine, transmission, and other stuff. I could not get the tarp off for a better pic, sorry.”
http://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/3138082997.html
These are a good price. Wished I had found these when I was building biscuit.
“Unmounted pair of Fiberglass Fenders for a flat fender Willy’s.
$100 for the pair. FIRM (I paid $100 each).
No I will not sell one. These will need to be prepped/sanded prior to paint just like any other fender would. They have a few scratches on them and a dirty, but great deal at $100.

(07/11/2011) It seems to have a driver’s side lean to it.
“1946 Willy’s flat fender jeep with V6 mercury engine. Runs great and has good body.”
Flint is selling this FC.
“This is a ex mud boggger with a full cage and wide axles. It has a non-running ford 300 6cyl with 4 barrel manifold and header mated to a 4sp to a dana 18. In the rear is a 9in ford with 4.11 gears and out front a closed knuckle dana 44 with disc brakes. There isn’t much in the interior, and this thing has plenty of rust and bad patches, but it is cool! I planned on making a flat bed or motorhome out of it with vintage camp trailer on back. Wide 15×10 rims with worn 33×15 tires. $1200. obo or trade for guns or cash plus guns.There is NO TITLE 208-371-zero-eight-two-six or email add”

Flint is selling this package.
“This is a complete unit meaning T90, D18, overdrive and Koenig pto with winch. As far as I can tell, this is a pretty rare unit to include overdrive and PTO together. I got it for my willys wagon, but you know the story, times are tough. Not sure of internal condition, but looks to be resealed. Was in 60’s cj5 with buick motor. Will not separate. If doesn’t sale, will make it in wagon some day.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100
(04/10/2012) There may be some value here.
“I have two jeep tops laying around that I will never use. I believe they would be for an old CJ3 or CJ2. They would need work to be good or use for parts. One is metal and the other is aluminum. There is two doors for the metal one. All for $100 obo.”
Here’s an example of a Civil Defense Helmet, perfect for a civil defense jeep.
“This a cool piece and still has its liner. I thought it was from the 20’s but was told its from the 50’s. Either way its cool for the collector. Asking $100 obo or trade for vw bug parts, willys wagon parts, guns. call or text or email add 208-371-zero-eight-two-six”
http://boise.craigslist.org/atq/3085351225.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(07/26/2011) This may be a solid jeep for the price.
“i have a 1953 willys jeep that is in really good shape, have a rebuilt willys engine. 3 speed transmission and four wheel drive works great.. i am asking 3000 but might consider trading it for a nice bumper pull camper or a nice ski boat with open bow..and must be water ready…thank for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“non color catalog , 4 x 9 , 12 pages , describes the Willy’s franchise and shows five models plus small photos of Jeeps and others in dealerships.”
UPDATE: I completed the book. There are some good stories of jeeping and others having nothing to do with jeeps. If you like adventure and travel, or African travel, or the challenges of border crossing, give this book a read. One favorite anecdote Andy writes about was a boss of his who at one time was Willys Overland Salesman in Africa during the 1940s. One of his sales strategies was roll them down a hill, tip them upright, and drive them away to demonstrate how hardy they were.
Andy’s website is here. You can follow his travels via sailboat as well http://www.rson.ca/index.php
I was on Amazon yesterday ordering a book called “Jumping Fire: A Smokejumper’s Memoir of Fighting Wildfire” (which has a fascinating story about how smoke jumpers used a willys wagon). One thing led to another and I ran across a second book called “African Wanderlust: Across Colonial Africa by Jeep”. Never having heard of that book, I ordered it and will report on it once I read it.
African Wanderlust: Across Colonial Africa by Jeep
This looked nice and stock and really good . . . until I saw that the body was rhino lined on the outside. Sigh.
“Jeep is a 1946 CJ2a with a Willys 4 cylinder gas flat head engine, 6 volt electrical system,3 speed manual transmission. Jeep has been totally sandblasted with a full length floor pan installed,some new sheetmetal also installed. There is no rust and very little Bondo. New seats, new glass, shocks. Axles have not been pulled. Jeep had a spray on Rhino like finish applied. Jeep has engine noise probably tappet related. Canvas top also included. For additional info contact Bill @ 307-333-3244 or email @ wmwonkus@earthlink.net”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
This looks solid. The bumper is unusual. There’s something wooden on the dash that I can’t quite see either. This may be a good price.
“Parade ready, runs great, nice paint, new top, recent restoration. Lots of spares. Needs tires. I’m not using it and need the space in the garage!”
The truck has some dust, but otherwise looks nice. The jeep is listed as a 1950, but I’m guessing it is more likely a CJ-2A.
“Auction Saturday, August 11 10 am. Jeep pickup is fully restored. Willys Jeep, motor fully restored with over $2500 spent on motor. Also selling other Willys jeep parts. http://www.mchjauctioneers.com/ Owner 402-640-2487.”
http://sd.craigslist.org/pts/3136052971.html
UPDATE: Mitch pointed out that this has a battery box. To me this means this is likely an original body rather than a repro. Check out the motor and wiring. Not the correct engine, but looks like some good work here.

I hope to return to North Tonawanda soon. If you are there, visit the North Tonawanda History Museum. I’m working with the Director to make part of it a destination and the home for Wurlitzer Music History.

I’m not sure how much search pulled up a UK add, but what the heck …
“The nicest tub and frame you ever saw! No added sheetmetal, welds, bondo or any media blasting of any kind. This jeep has never been left outside. Frame tub and any drivetrain parts shown are included. Let me know if you have any questions I will keep it short here since the pictures show the story.
