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 .

Bill, from Lime Street Carriages, posted some pics of last weekend’s 2o12 Willys Picnic on his Face book page. He wrote, “I think there were 76-77 Jeeps there this year and the weather was great (hot). My group took 6 Jeeps up from Lancaster (68 mi each way) and next year we’ll have more!
David spotted this model on Flickr. I don’t much other than it is being well built by someone named Alex.
This one is priceless. Based on the back, I’d say this was a CJ of some vintage and not a M-38.
“5/16″ armored jeep. Complete. Body is not rotted. Needs new undercarriage. M38? Awesome piece of history. 845-204-1475”

Dan’s his former US Forest Service wagon. It includes the government data plate. He is offering $50 off to those that mention eWillys.
“Overview:
I am selling my Utility Delivery project to buy another Willys Wagon (with rear side windows)
This is a rolling body on chassis, and does not include an engine or transmission
You can restore with the original T90 transmission and D18 transfer case from Willys Wagon, Truck, or CJ or install more modern versions
Originally was a US Forest Service vehicle painted white; the subsequent owner painted the Delivery green sometime in the 1980s
The good:
Includes glove box doors, data/VIN plate, and US Government plate
Also includes miscellaneous parts such as the windshield metal trim, heater controls/knobs, etc.
Panel doors in good shape
Panel door glass is in excellent shape
Rear Dana 44 (stock as far as I can tell)
Frame is in good shape (just minor surface rust)
Locking front hubs
Clear title
Current California registration with white plates (non-op)
The bad:
Rust through in both driver and passenger floorboards, bottom of fenders, and rear valence
Lots of drilled holes in seat riser/tool box area
No windshield; door glass is cracked
Surface rust and dents all over
At least one goofy sheetmetal solution by previous owner on right front fender
Does not include the old yellow license plate. I hope to find it a good home as these Delivery Wagons are quite rare”
This has the early three data plate setup. Looks in good condition.

AND HE WILL GIVE YOU A PRICE ON GETTING THESE TO GEMS TO YOU ! THANKS FOR LOOKING, I DONT THINK YOU WASTED YOUR TIME !!! I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE MILES”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
It is rare when a seller writes that a jeep is more than 90% restored and it actually looks more restored than that. Looks good.
“This is a 90% restored military jeep with everthing, simulated Gas firing 50 Cal M2H machine gun, water cooled 1919 30.cal,thompson M1A1 sub machine gun, M1 garand,
colt 1911 , M20 bozoka with 2 dummie rockets , radios, fording kit and much more . All guns are dummies and leagel.I have restored Nilitary Jeeps for years. I have restored 52 over the last 20 years”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
There’s a little rust, but otherwise looks solid. Probably won’t take much to get it running I bet.
“Jeep FC-150
Straight and solid.
Has not run in years.
Worthwhile project
Very complete except missing driver’s door window.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
Looks good for the price. The winch sure looks wimpy.
“For sale is a 1958 willys CJ3B 4cyl engine and original drive train. The body was worked on over 20 years ago.It came from Colorado in 1990 and has been in WI since”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This has been parked for 18 Years. Possibly a VEC Body.
“Was parked about 18 years ago due to: Leaking rear main seal, poor/no brakes, and finally a broken ignition wire. Has been waiting patiently for resto since. Early and rare tub with leftover war stampings with axe and shovel relief. Willys stamped hood, correct and original windshield frame, and tailgate. 12V. It wants a complete resto but could be going down the road without a huge effort. Rusted and patched up many time in the past 65 years… It will need trailerd home.
$2000 or similar trade for: Honda/Yamaha Utility 4 wheeler or Toyota 4×4 that is not beat and rusted away.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200
I can only hope that this formerly rare four door wagon was rusted beyond being savable, so was chopped down to a four door wagon. One can always hope, right? Never-the-less, the result is surely odd.
“1947 Jeep that was a 4 door has been shaved down to a 2 door single cab. 91 5.0 8 engine with 58,000 miles. Power steering, power brakes.F150 chassi and transmiission. Interior work needed. Runs great can drive away today. Email for more info. **Cash only when vehicle is seen/ picked up**”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
No title. Looks pretty complete for a parts jeep.
“I bought this Jeep for a project. Due to health reasons will not be able to work on it at this time. No title, some rust, great for parts or could rebuild. Former owner rebuilt engine, serviced transmission, transfer case, front and rear end. Straight frame. Please call for more information, leave message”
The body is rough. The seller is a bit off on his windshield analysis.
“I have a 1948 Willys jeep for sale. This is the model with the P.T.O.. Mechanically its very good, body wise its rough. The motor, transmission, transfer case, front and rear ends have all been rebuilt and only used for snow plowing since. I have the orignal 1948 plow too. The windshield is from a 1950. This was a upgrade at the time as the 48 had a split windshield. I also have the frame for the orignal half top (comes down behind the seat so you can still use the box). There’s a box of extra parts that will go with it too. $1300. firm”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1800.

“must sell my jeep need the cash quick nice 4×4 runs great”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
(02/24/2012) This has a strange body.
“Running, drivable willys jeep. No title. Originally bought it in southern MO for 800$. New tires, dist cap, wires, coil, and alt. It came comverted to 12v. Original flat head 4 cyl and drivetrain. D18 transfer case T90 trans. D27 front axle and D35 rear (I think). My dog tore the ugly van seats it came with but you should be able to mount any seat from anything. No winshield glass or gas tank (I was using a coffee can). Radiator needs repaired, a seam poped on the top so it will hold water until it gets too hot then it will boil out, but it gives a good 20 minute run before that happens. Needs wired, I have an electric ignition for it that is a direct replacement for the points/condincer plate. This jeep is so much fun to drive. All gears engage and disengage, the 3 speed trans and four hi/low/2 wheel high/low along with the lockout hubs, has good off road tires which hold air all winter and we can drive it right up on to your trailer. Can be hauled for a fee. Ill post my phone number tomorrow buy ill answer guestions through email.”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $1500.
(02/20/2012) Needs lots of work.
“Here is a 1946 CJ2A Willys Jeep with a chevy 327 (engine #3782870 62-67) with an affenhauer style tranny adapter. Original T-90A transmission. Have all the parts that I know of. Hood, seats, gas tank windshield, tailgate, grill,and a few extra parts. Hasn’t been registered since 1966 and stored inside since then. New floors had been started. Body a little rough, but it is almost 70 years old. Please email and I will get back as soon as I can. Can deliver in redding area if needed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $4000.
(05/29/2012) One runs and one doesn’t.
“I have decided to sell both my willys trucks together, I will not separate. The black one is a 1948. It has a later model overhead valved, 134ci 4cyl motor. It runs and I have been using it here on the farm till recently. It has started to “flood out” a little in past few weeks. I have filed for the title and am wating to get it. Both trucks have good tires. The green one is a 1960. I have the title to it. It does not run. It has the 6cyl “super hurricane” motor, but is apart. It has the original koenig pto drive winch on it. This is kinda rare. I simply don’t have the time to restore either one of them. I will not seperate, and the price is firm.”
This auction includes a set of 10 ads for the Brazilian Jeep Pickup. Looks like they have been ripped from a magazine.
“They are original AD’s (not copy).
All different ADs (not repeated ADs).
ADs from 60’s / 70’s
Brazilian rare ADs.
The pages are in big size. Size of each AD: about 35 cm X 25 cm. Can be changed in poster.”
