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 .
Looks like some value here.

A MJ2A? May be partially disassembled.
“I’m selling a 1948 Willys CJ2A. I picked this up a couple years ago as a project, but it doesn’t look like I’m ever going to get around to working on it. It is painted to look like an MJ2A, but it is a CJ.
This should make someone a fun little project. It was running before I started to dismantle and I used to drive it to the store for fun. Body if fairly solid. Some rust on the undercarriage and some bondo work on the body. Not all original, but it still pretty nice. Has a nice little flat head 4 cylinder in it too. 3 speed manual trans. And lockable hubs via a shifter in the vehicle.
This could easily be modified to be a rock crawler, or taken out as is. Email me if you are a serious bidder only.”

Runs and drives.
“Asking $1200 O.B.O.
JEEP WILLYS 4×4
This 1946 WILLYS runs and lot drives(has no brakes, so cannot be driven over the road).
Has the original 4 cylinder motor.
The body has been cut on over the years, and mods made.
All original from the dashboard forward.
The frame is rotted at the left rear spring pearch.

Other than what’s listed above, I believe everything else is in working order.
HAS A CLEAN AND CLEAR OHIO TITLE!
This Jeep has been used at camp up until this spring when it made the trip home, and has always run good and rides well enough to do normal camp activities. Will not part out at all! If you need something off of it you have to take the whole thing. For questions or an offer text Todd @ 419-656-2597. Also, this is for pickup only. Unless compensated for fuel in a reasonable distance there will be no shipping of the vehicle. I will not work with any shipper, and payment must be made in cash on pickup.

Unclear just how much value is here.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000.
(06/24/2012) This runs, but needs work.
“1942 Ford GPW military jeep. This is definitely a project waiting for the next owner to bring her back to life. This jeep has always been in the family, lastly with my father in-law who towed it behind his RV for many years. Sadly, it has seen little use in the last 10 years and with his recent passing, I have been asked to find a new owner. Appears to be original drive train. Many spare parts included. Engine does run but vehicle will need to be trailered away as condition of brakes & drive train is unknown and probably not safe. I don’t know a lot more about its condition but e-mail with any questions and I’ll try my best to answer them. Also, I just trailered the Jeep to my business where it’s more convenient to show. E-mail for directions. $2,000 OBO. Thanks for looking.”

One of the more unusual Camo paint jobs I’ve seen. It appears to have a wood front bumper.
“Jeep lovers and collectors, great deal, custom camoflage, good condition, needs TLC and fresh gas.”

Looks solid. Yet, it is missing windshield wipers. The drain holes are no longer visible.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The body appears to be a little rough, but hard to tell just how much given the paint job.

(06/29/2012) This looks good. I can’t tell if the passenger side is a little discolored or if it is just the light and a reflection.

(07/15/2012) Still plenty of work left.
“You are looking at a 1942 Ford GPW military jeep. Restoration was started over 10 years ago and never completed. Motor, trans, transfer case, and axles have been rebuilt. The body is an aftermarket piece and sits on a very nice straight and rust free frame. Have most parts to complete (some not pictured) and will be included with the sale.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $7500. Status Unknown.
This may be worth a look. Tranny was stuck in 3rd gear.
“1942 Willies Jeep. This is actually my dad’s jeep and he asked me to sell it. This jeep has sat in the barn for years. It would be great for a collector. The last time I drove it, it only had 3rd gear. This Jeep was displayed at the Tillamook Air Museam.”
I’m guessing it has been a while since this won trophies. Looks like it might have been nice at one time though.
“350ci built Chevy engine. Fulie heads, Edelbrock torker, Holley, fender well headers, Turbo 350, custom Dana 44’s front and rear with 4.27:1 gears. Posi front and rear. Full cage, Deist 5 point harnesses, dual batteries, Ground Hawg tires. Has won many trophies for show. Very fast! Unbeaten off-road.
Now the bad news: the jeep has been siting for several years. Has rust, and occasional glitch in the transfer case (jumps out of gear once in awhile.) I think it is a linkage adjustment problem. Transfer case was rebuilt approx. 50 miles ago. With some TLC, this jeep could be one of the best in the State, as it was 20 years ago. If you are mechanically inclined, and are looking for an awesome project, this may be for you! I have over $20K in this machine. Now it just sits in the yard. Asking $3,800. Would consider trade for small pickup truck.

The has a rear pro, but hard to see it due to the bright pink color of this jeep.
“Want everyone’s eyes on your ride? This Jeep is truly one of a kind. It has combined aspects of both commercial and military issue 1952 Jeep Willys’. The HOT PINK color is also an eye catcher! The jeep is registered as a collectors, parade vehicle. It has 120,469 miles on it. Has been in storage for 5 years. It was in running order then, but needs some work now. Tires are in great condition! Body has slight rust and some peeling of paint on the hood. It is a 3 speed, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, neutral and reverse. Two functioning seatbelts on front seats. Back seat folds down flat, or can seat two when placed upright. Want to be the talk of the town? Want a creative way to advertise your business? This Jeep could be your answer!!! Asking $3500 (which is a steal for this vehicle), but feel free to make an offer. Selling do to moving to a location without space for it. Thanks for looking! (Jeep is pretty dusty in the pictures from its time in storage…it cleans up beautifully…and if you decide to buy it – I will personally clean the vehicle prior to your picking it up)!”
Steve is heading to the Tacoma, Washington, area soon. On his way back he will have an empty trailer. If anyone needs something hauled, contact steve at willys54wagon@msn.com to see if you can work something out with him.
This has a rear PTO and a plow. Apart from it looking like a disaster, there appears to be value here.
