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 is a pile of Warn OD parts.
“Three warn overdrives for a model 18 transfer case. There is enough to put together two good overdrives, the third has gear damage but saveable with some new parts. Includes shift lever and linkage. Selling all together, cleaning out garage and don’t have a use for them. $250 takes all, these overdrives are similar to Saturn overdrives. To buy new they are $800+ per overdrive.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $875.
The body has been patched quite a bit.
“Not sure of the year of this beauty. Believe its a CJ3A. Lots of patches and rust and I think the top is homemade and nicely done. I do have the doors. It is still a 6 volt system and believe it or not it runs, drives and stops like it should. Shifts into all gears with no noise or popping out of gear. Could use a tune up and a lot of love. I have a temporary gas can on it to move it around. There is a good gas tank on the passenger seat that will go with it. Would make a good farm jeep or put a new body on it. Lots of good parts”
The wagon looks good. I love the first picture.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
The tailgate appears to have been cut.
“Testing waters on selling my 1942 Ford GPW, it is a project………. I bought it a little over a year ago and have been stock piling parts since then in preparation for the restoration, I have most parts but still have quite a bit more to go. Its a late ’42– frame is in good condition, tub is in great condition, just rebuilt the transmission and transfercase, has a CJ engine in it now (has low oil pressure) but I have a rebuildable ’42 GPW block to go with it! Lots of extra parts go with it that you could use to trade or sell for the other parts needed to finish her!
Your chance to get a piece of Americana!! WW11 jeeps are getting harder to find, this one is very straight and pretty rust free! Ready for an easy frame off restore!
I dont need to sell it, I’ve just lost steam in the project and am tied down between work and repairing my ’44 GPW………….. would rather see it getting fixed!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
There are a variety of holes in the windshield, so you’ll want to patch those before driving in the rain.
“1948 Willy 2As Jeep. The first civilian jeep model. Used originally as a farm vehicle. This jeep runs great and is in very good condition. Rebuilt and mostly original. Original flat head four cylinder engine. A blast to drive.”

This looks like a nice truck.

Those are some meaty ties. It must make a rough ride.
“1947 cj2a complete , not running but will with a little work , $100 worth of literature , dana 44 rear , warn hubs, converted to 12 volt 3000 obo”
This runs. I wonder if all the shell casings in the driver’s side is included?
“This is a running jeep and can be driven but smokes and has rust on on the floors. It would be a great project and yes it does have a pinkslip , but has not been regesterd in MANY years and doesnt not appear in the DMV system therefore it will not be hard to register.

I’m not sure if these are $1500 each or $1500 for both. Only one pic of the CJ-2A and it doesn’t show much.

(05/20/2012) It runs …
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep, model CJ2A. It does run with a jump start, shift and move, but it does not stop. I put a new fuel pump and a rebuilt carburator on it to get it running. It has no tags, therefore it has no papers. Good for parts. The body is in poor condition. You will need to bring wheels and tires because the wheels on it are already called for.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(06/19/2012) This appears solid, but still needs work.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(06/08/2012) This looks nice. I wonder if it includes a M-606 designation on the data plate or VIN. I suspect that’s a replacement body, too.
“1966 Jeep CJ3B. This is a very rare military version classified as an M606 with factory 225 V6. It does not have any Willy’s stampings on body because it was built after Willys was sold out.

“TRADE I have a 1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This vehicle has been used in numerous car and Jeep shows. It is drivable and is in excellent running condition. This Jeep has a front tow bar, so it can be flat towed. It is 90% original, other than some added on diamond plating and a half top roof. This vehicle is one of the Jeeps that is in the Guiness Book of World Records for being part of the World’s largest Jeep only parade in Butler, PA 2011 (Certificate of authinticity is available).
I am looking to trade for a inspected and running Jeep Wrangler (prefer automatic transmission, 4 or 6 cylinder) of equal value.
I am looking for a “daily-driver” now instead of an occasional “summer-drive show” vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(05/17/2012) This doesn’t run; it probably needs a fuel pump. This appears to have a MB body.
“1947 Willys Flat Fender Jeep. Current none operational title. Currently not running. Will fire up with gas poured in carburetor. Needs battery 289 V8 engine, 4speed transmission original axles, descent tires also comes with 33 rollers. Let me know if you want more pics. Bought as a project but I don’t have the time for it.”

(06/14/2012) The truck looks great and so does the price.

We are busy at the beach, so no updates until Sunday morning.
Here are a few pics from our trip to Seattle and then down to Seaside, Oregon. Note that instead of writing something mushy or loveydovey in the sand, Ann took it upon herself to draw and photograph eWillys in the sand. Why she was thinking of you all while spending time at the beach with me is beyond me . . .
Here we are taking a break from our hike on Chinook Pass (ok, we only hiked from the car to the sidewalk).
Here’s a nice shot with Mt. Rainier in the background.
I’ve heard of food trucks, but not food boats! Ann had eaten here and said we had to stop. The place is called Bowpickers and is located in Astoria, Oregon. They do fish and chips and that is it. Their fish is locally caught albacore tuna. It was very very good.
Here’s Ann’s toes showing their creative side:
No, we aren’t married yet. We happened to have Ann’s veil in the car, so we pulled a practical joke on her family . However, her Uncle Bob really is marrying us July 28th.
According to the website, “Dennis Avery, land owner of Galleta Meadows Estates in Borrego Springs envisioned the idea of adding ‘free standing art’ to his property with original steel welded sculptures created by ‘Perris Jurassic Park’ owner/artist/welder Ricardo Breceda based in Perris, California.” One of the sculptures he commissioned was a tribute to the jeep (or jeeping, I don’t have specific information about the sculpture).
You can see a variety of jeep pictures here
These pictures were photographed by Bob Perry and posted at Flickr. Note that there are no boulders under the jeep at the time they were taken in 2010. However, as of 2012 there are now boulders, suggesting the jeep is climbing over them.
A reader sent me this old photo, writing “This is a old photo of mark vansciver and his dad Steve (friends of our family )trying to winch their Jeep up a embankment (side of the mountain) on vacation in western NC ……..Jeep survived……marks pride hurt”
Looks nicely restored. I wonder if it was really painted yellow for the private airport.
“Our 1953 Airforce Jeep is for sale…….It was used as a “FOLLOW ME” Car. The restauration including the engine was done ca. 5 Years ago.
The jeep was only used as a “Follow Me” vehicle on a private airport since then, and has less than 450 miles on the new engine.24 Volt System.
The car is in nice shape.”

Blaine was visiting Kalispell, Montana, this week and spotted these two toys at an antique store. I believe they are still for sale.
Leave a comment below or email me if you are interested in them and I’ll get the info from Blaine.
