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 .

“1948 Willys CJ-2A for sale. Does not run. Was told by previous owner that it ran when he parked it 4 years ago. The frame has been cut and extended, and the back made into a pickup. Got it for a project and never had time for it. Make me an offer!

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A: This Jeep is in the process of a frame-off restoration. It is not finished yet…but a lot of the hard work is done. The engine is rebuilt. It has a new carburetor, radiator, all tune-up items, belts, hoses, etc. It comes with new floors. The frame is painted (has a few scratches). The body is sandblasted and ready for minimal rust repairs and floor replacement. It comes with a Skyjacker suspension lift (as well as the factory suspension), roll bar, etc. Lots of new parts are included (brake parts, bearings and seals, etc.). It is complete other than a few little things missing (easy to obtain parts). I also have a manual printed in 1966 from Jeep that will be of assistance. The Jeep has a lot of potential and will make a great project. This is a rare toy.
Thanks. Matt 785-817-7126″

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,900
(03/23/2011) At $10,900, there is NO windshield included. I’m sure it’s a solid jeep though. I think that front hangs a little low in the pic form the side.

Just a couple posts tonight due to a site issue I’m puzzling through. Don’t forget to check out the latest jeeps for sale on ebay here and check out the new Willys Toys eBay Page. Not only are the lists fun to browse (at least I enjoy them), but every time you click, you are supporting eWillys 🙂
Roberto pointed out that it was International Women’s Day and shared some old pictures of women and their jeeps, some you might have seen and others you might not have. The first one is a picture I found on Flickr.
“Nice original 4 x 5 inch Signal Corps photo taken by the 167th Signal photo company of 11th Armored Division soldiers bringing back two captured German prisoners. Notice the M3 grease gun and .30 cal. on this super clear photo. The soldiers in the photo are idd on the back as is the photographer with a date of Jan13, 1945. Check out my other auctions for more original WW1 and WW2 photos”

Here are two brochures for the ‘Maverick Special’ Station wagon.
UPDATE: CapnJohn obtained the following info related to Selouki:
“We don’t have a photo of the front of this vehicle but this manual covers the Selouki 1/4 Ton Truck model 4WD-25T.This Jeep like vehicle was produced by Highway Products Inc, Kent, Ohio.
Highway Products, Inc., Kent, Ohio was formed by Joseph Thomas ‘Joe’ Myers in 1960 to manufacture truck bodies for specialty markets such as mobile post offices. In addition to mail trucks and mobile post offices the company also manufactured small boats for both military and commercial use, missile launchers and engines. In 1968 Highway Products introduced a 25-passenger bus and sold it under the Twin Coach name. Joe Myers sold the company to Alco Standard in the early 1970s. Alco Standard bought the Cortez Motor Home line of products and manufactured the motor homes in the Kent, OH production facilities of Highway Products. Approximately 900 buses were built under the Twin Coach name when production stopped in October, 1975, due to bankruptcy. Joe Myers also served as the President of the Davey Tree Expert Company and was married to John Davey’s granddaughter, Marilyn Davey.“
Glenn spotted this unusual manual.
I wanted to thank Marty and Herm for sharing some warm and dry space for Sunday’s swap meet in Puyallup, so stop by and say hello. I’ll be more specific about our location after we visit Saturday for the setup.
I’ve got signs, books, and maybe event some t-shirts (if Ann and I can perfect the emulsion process, which is proving slightly problematic). Ann got some shirts and a jacket embroidered for the event, so it will be easy to spot us. I will also have some examples of the Dolan’s posters, too.
Here are our embroidered shirts:
This arrived in my inbox today, so I thought I’d pass it along.
JJ is looking for the following jeep:
“I bought this 1947 CJ2A in 1996 from a guy named Martel south of Chicago in Palos Park, Illinois for $600 and sold it for $600 in 1997 for $600 to an elderly gent who was from the area east of where I lived in Tinley Park, Illinois. It had been well restored before I owned it but financial problems and mechanical inexperience back then in my misspent youth prevented me from proper upkeep. It was painted a metalflake emerald green and sported a unique front bumper and a vent cover in front of the drivers side on the front panel. I have no record of the serial number from the engine block and it had no title. I was wondering if anyone had seen it? Ever?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It runs and drives.
“THIS IS A 1961 WILLYS JEEP FORWARD CONTROL CAB AND CHASSIS. STARTS QUICK AND PURRS LIKE A KITTY. IT DRIVES AS GOOD AS IT RUNS. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WORKS GREAT IN HI AND LOW RANGE AND FRONT LOCKOUT HUBS TURN LOCKED OR UNLOCKED LIKE NEW
THERE IS NO BOX WITH IT BUT WE HAVE ALL THE CAB PARTS, ALL LIGHTS ETC TOO. THE PASSENGER SEAT IS MISSING THE CUSHIONS BUT DRIVER SEAT IS COMPLETE BUT NEEDS COVERING.
WE HAVE ALL THE WINDOWS BUT REAR AND DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW’S ARE CRACKED. EASY TO GET MADE BECAUSE THE ARE BOTH FLAT GLASS AND REASONABLE.
IT WILL MAKE A NICE FLAT-BED PICKUP OR LIGHT DUMP BED TRUCK. TIRES ARE ALL NEW AND THE WINDSHIELD IS GOOD, SOME SLIGHT FOGGING NEXT TO THE RUBBER ON EACH SIDE.
WE HAVE PUT IN A NEW WIRING HARNESS AND RECONDITIONED THE HEATER.
IT NEEDS SOME BODY WORK AS PHOTO’S SHOW BUT WILL MAKE A GREAT USABLE LITTLE TRUCK WHEN COMPLETED.”
Only 10,000 original miles?

The Cammo FC .. known for its stealth?
“Needs restored. Havent run for a couple of years. AT that time ran good and all gears worked in trans. Its been sitting. Has a Hurican 4 , 4cylinder engine and a manual trans. Ladder rack in picture doesnt go with. Brake pedal falls to the floor , brakes not working. Would consider trade for a cj7 jeep needing restored.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
“Willys Jeep CJ-My old 4×4 jeep needs a home with someone that has the time to keep her going. She needs a lot of work and tires and paint but was running when I last started her several years back.
This is the kinda project you can get going and take through the brush without worrying about scratches or dings…it ain’t pretty…it’s a ranch/hunting lease tool.
It’s a project…not something you can take and drive…you’ll have to do some work first. I don’t have the time to keep rebuilding the original carb with it’s leather accelerator pump diaphragm…a smart rebuilder would probably just put a newer carb on it. Needs brakes, seats(frames are there), tires, TLC.
lowballers…forget it…I don’t have to sell…just thought someone else might like a neat toy to play with since I don’t use it any longer.
Will considered trading for semi-auto-legal-modern firearms or real-“Damascus steel/handmade”-samurai swords…partial trades considered ”
Here’s a nice CJ-3B. It appears to have a replacement body. It looks nice. I’m surprised the back is solid. It looks like it came that way rather than be a custom job.
“1953 Willys Jeep. It has a new body so there is no rust what-so-ever. Dana 44 front and rear axles. Small block Ford 260. Original 3-speed gearbox. Overdrive. 2 fuel tanks. New top. New custom gauges. Custom wheels. Custom Ranch Hand bumpers front and rear w/tow bar. Locking hubs. Aluminum radiator. Dual exhaust. This thing fires right up and runs perfectly. It’s a no-issue Jeep that doesn’t need a thing.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This is ready for hunting.
“1949 Jeep Willys, 4wd works great. 4cyl flat head engine starts 1st crank every time. Man Transmission. Fog Lights. Front Bumper Mount Seats. Rear Removable Rack Warn Winch. BV Remote Control Bumper Feeder. Gun Mounts/Holders. 2 Batteries (one fro engine, one for accessories), Tires near new. This is an excellent dependable ranch/hunting jeep. Call or email for more information or pics or to schedule a test drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
“This is a very strong 4 cylinder engine that fits well in Willys and flat fender jeeps. This particular engine has VERY high compression due to high performance forged pistons from a DZ302(this 151 is half the size of a 302 with the same bore). It will require high octaine gas!! It was built to run hard while steep climbing at low rpm and has been through the Rubicon numerous times. Additionally, with the combination of this Webber 2 barrel carb this engine can run virtually stait up with out over flooding the floats or stalling out.”
No pics provided.

(09/11/2011) This jeep certainly looks nice, but I can see nothing to suggest this is a 1945 CJ-2A. To me it looks like it might be a CJ-3A, but maybe the frame is from a ’45.
“This is a 1945 Willys CJ-2A World War II vehicle with the 4-cylinder gas engine and a 3-speed manual transmission. It was restored about fifteen years ago and has been under boxes in my mother-in-laws garage since. She has driven it maybe 50 miles a summer though has religously started it a couple times a month. The engine puts out 60 horsepower and this Willys weighs about 2200 pounds. It starts right up and drives nice. It does have turn signals and is street legal. 4-wheel drive works and it gets lots of attention everywhere it goes. It is a 2A but does have a 3A windshield. Has original owner’s manual. $13,500”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
(10/02/2009) “Just so you know, I only accept cash payments. In this particular case, the money transaction and transfer of vehicle title will take place at your bank or ours, (your choice) plus proof of insurance required before you drive it off our property. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS MADE!
We have over TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS in this vehicle, and thereby truly understand that JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket!
Due to inheriting another vehicle, plus a lack of enough storage space to keep everything garaged, as well as not wanting to see this vehicle sit unused, we are looking for a new home for this Beauty. We are NOT selling because we need the money, so don’t waste your time or ours if you are not willing to pay the asking price! It is a STEAL at TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS and no less will be considered.
Now is your chance to get a fantastic custom made item worth much, much more for only TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, less than half of what we have in it. (Have a folder full of receipts to prove it) It took 10 long years to put this baby together from parts. The paint job was chosen 2 months before 9-11-2001. (How ironic!) The whole thing was finished and driven the first time right before the first anniversary of 9-11. A newspaper photographer came out and took some pictures and it made the special section the Knoxville News Sentinel did for the 9-11 Anniversary featuring what people were doing to commemorate and remember the tragedy. We have a copy of that paper in our files.
Features include:
Extra Electric Radiator Fan
Chromoly roll cage frame mounted
CV Rear Drive Shaft (custom made)
(? 1983 ?) 4.3 Buick V6 Semi Race Cam Heavy Fly Wheel
Painless Wire Harness
LED Turn Signals
SM 420 Trans + Advance Adapter

Custom Made Bumpers Front & Rear

Grant Steering Wheel
Metro Geo Seats
Spray Rubber Lining in Interior
Interior Heater Core from Caterpillar Bulldozer
Rear Traction Bars
4 Wheel Disc Brakes
Spring over Conversion
1.5 inch body lift (It had to still fit in garage)
Axel Knuckles cut loose and rotated to 4.5 degrees to allow good front drive shaft angle and proper steering
Custom made rear 6 gallon aluminum gas tank with cushion crash bars to protect it, in addition to under seat plastic 10 gallon gas tank
Hand throttle
Serious inquiries only… PLEASE!
Interested? Rest assured, I delete PROMPTLY when an item is sold. Sorry, I’ve received too much spam to reply to emails. Just call 525-2616 between 8 am and 6 pm to ask about this Jeep.”
Once again, something I couldn’t make up ….
Here is a crazy Snow Cone FJ. I spotted these pictures the other day while looking for the swiss army CJ-5. Steve must have spotted this crazy thing too, because he found the video below.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on Etsy for $40.
” have for sale an old windup toy called the Jumpin Jeep by Marx.. It is tin and from the late 1940’s after the war. It has been well played with and does have quite a bit of rust. The jeep, the front tires and one large tire isn’t that bad and the lithograph design is in good condition with minor rust. There is one large tire that needs to be replaced or repainted. The toy looks as though it was left outside laying on its side with one back tire perhaps in the dirt for some time. The bottom of the toy also shows signs of rust. The key is still present but it has been overwound. It moves a little but I can’t wind it. Overall I would rate it good simply because the lithos are still in pretty decent shape. The size of the toy is 5 1/2″ long about 4 1/2″ tall and 4″ wide from back tire to back tire”
Here’s pictures of a couple other jumping jeeps that realized $210 at auction in 2008.
