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 $8000
The mileage is 7131. It looks like there is a dent in the bumper.
“1954 Willys Jeep Wagon for Sale.
Flathead 6, odometer reads 7131 original miles, unit sat for 20 years stuck in the mud.
New tires, all original even the radio.
Fresh paint..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,950.
“I have an absolutely awesome 59 Willys Wagon Pro Street. It has a professionally built full square tube chassis and a Mustang 2 front end with rack and pinion steering. The 14 point cage was certified for 8.80s about 16 years ago. This was a drag car converted to a 9.0 second pro street car. It has a full roller, blown small block 400 punched to a 406 with an 8 quart oil pan, MSD ignition, E curve distributor and Wiend 671 Blower . Included are two 750 demon blower carbs and Dart 230 pro heads. Has NOS (never hooked up, never tried). The trans is a built Turbo 350 with a 3500 stall converter. Also has a 15 gallon fuel cell, wheelie bars and fan cooled oil and trans oil coolers under the rear. Dana 60 with 4.10s and detroit locker. Engine and trans have about 700 miles on them.
Wheels and Tires: Front and rear wheels are draglites. Rear tires are Mickey Thompson 33×19.5×15 Sportsman Pros. Front tires – Front Runners
HP? How does 650-750 sound?!?! And that’s without the 250 shot of nitrous! Can you say better than sex?!?!?
So let’s talk about what all of the above would cost. Buying the vehicle before engine and other grades – $30,000 with full square tube chassis, rack and pinion, etc. The engine alone would cost approximately $22,000 (with blower, etc.) NOS $1,000. Turbo 350 trans with stall converter another $1,500. Oil and Trans oil coolers $1,000. So all in – to build it yourself (AND THAT’S IF YOU COULD FIND ONE!) would cost you $55,000+!!!!!”
It’s a project.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
The seller lists this a CJ-5, but it is clearly a CJ-3B.
“CJ5 1955 JEEP WILLS
Transmission: Manual
Engine Size: 4 – Cyl.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Hard to tell much from the pic.
“You are looking at a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A The body has been rhino lined inside and out and does not look bad. Problem with the rhino lining is they also did the dash and other areas that probably should not have been done and although very well protected I think it would look better if these areas had not been done. The engine is a Ford 5.0L, 302ci with a Carter ASM 750 CFM Carburetor. The block casting number shows it is a 69-73 before they were detuned and the compression lowered due to emissions, when a muscle car was still a muscle car. I have rebuilt the carburetor, timed it and done a full tune up. It runs good with all the power you might need and it will smoke all four tires if you want.
I am pretty sure that the transmission, three speed, and drive train are original. The clutch works well, it shifts fine and the 4 wheel drive works fine. Most of the underneath has been redone and is new including springs, shocks, tie rods, etc. There is approximately a 2 inch lift on the spring shackles that you can see in the picture of the rear end. Everything else looks pretty much stock. ”
This has been upgraded to a 454.

UPDATE: This appears to have sold. Was at $10,000
This looks nice. Even better, it’s been broken in a little following its restoration.
“I’m listing my jeep that I have loved and continue to love, just trying to downsize a bit and refocus priorities. It has been a staple in my life for a while now and have participated in numerous parades and shows around Jacksonville. It is a 1944 Willys MB WWII jeep. It runs well and does not smoke. Has the original WWII flathead 4 cylinder w/ original 3 speed T-84 transmission. Brand new brakes/brake lines and rebuilt master cylinder, filled w/ straight silicone brake fluid. It utilizes an 8 volt battery and voltage regulator has been adjusted to charge it properly. Uses the original 6 volt lighting just burns a bit brighter. Has been running this way for over a year with no issues. Installed a new “original style” cloth covered wiring harness from Vintage Wiring of Maine, the best in the market. New original style fuel pump w/ the primer handle, new repro gas tank, new repro windshield frame. The tub, hood, seat frames; with the exception of the canvas, rubber and a few odds and ends, everything else is original WWII period. The hood number is original to the jeep as I found them under the paint and have photos attesting to this. It is a nice piece of history and an attention getter everywhere you go.”
No pics provided.
“Lots of misc parts…windshield frames, fenders, grilles, tailgates, hoods, axles, two complete rolling chassis, lift shackles. Email for parts availability and pricing.”
The seller is looking to sell this to someone who will properly restore it.
“Due to moving back to Germany i am offering my DJ3A (1963 with title) and a CJ3A chassis with drive train. I really want to give it to the right person. I have both units here in Ft Lauderdale and have to move them quick. About 1500.00 for both but any offer is welcome. The trailer is brand new and can be bought for 2K as well. Engines turn over, DJ3A needs suspension, brakes, floor, tub, fender and door restore as well as upholstery. Not a quick fix. But one of few!”

“1941 ford gp pre war prototype for willys jeep…It is in good condition and runs ( all though not at the moment) It has a 9n tractor engine in it now… The orignal engine block goes with it and appeares to be in good condition…”
UPDATE: I had the wrong link associated with the pic. It is fixed now.
Mike forwarded me a drawing of women in bikinis on a jeep from Stag magazine. I remember the drawing as I had stumbled upon it a few years ago myself. That got me thinking, so I did a quick search of bikini’s and jeeps. I was surprised to find the following image. I had made it family friendly. You can see the original along with a few others at the “relevant married guy” website in a post called ‘Jeep girls … it’s a Jeep thing?‘.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This looks nice.
“This is the first year for the 6 cly. and 2 wheel drive .these are geared higher than the 4 wd. You can drive this car at 55 mph.

This looks to be a solid jeep.
“Rumor had it this Jeep was used in a few movies back in the day (anyone say: Kelly’s Heroes). The previous owner bought it and planned to restore it, after many years he was ready to let it go. He had rebuilt the Engine and put in a new Radiator, and converted it to 12 Volt system with Alternator. We bought it in this condition, pretty much “rust-free” but with a few dents and dings (Jeep in Dark Green-white wheels). We CHOSE to leave that, so it looked more like a Combat (Field) Jeep – not a “SHOW” JEEP!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This doesn’t run. It has a nice vintage look to it.
“1950 Willy’s Jeepster in good condition only 2 owners. Convertable roof and side windows, New gas tank needs to be installed, new battery, rebuilt carb, Henry “J” 6cylinder Flat head engine. Not running now, but was running a few years ago. needs tires (40+ years old) but not in too bad condition has been garage kept since the 60’s. NEEDS TLC.. HAS A LOT OF ORIGINAL PARTS STILL more pictures avalible if needed”
According to the seller, “no modifications have been made on this jeep“. I count at least 21 modifications (not counting the tires). That said, the body looks pretty good.
“This jeep has been garaged except the last the few months. Had to do some remodleing in my garage. There is little surface rust in a few spots nothing major. Role bar in back, snap on soft top. Small rust hole on passager side floor board. ENGINE NOT RUNNING, This jeep is in great shape considering the year it is made. Reply to this or call 360-249-4063. Ask for Kurt
Thanks for looking. This jeep wouldn’t take much to fix up nice if you have time and money that I don’t have. This jeep is all original from 1946, no modifications have been made on this jeep. There is not speedometer in the jeep, there never has been so I have no idea how many miles are on it, it the second engine that has been put in it. Asking $2000.00 for it, title in hand.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Steve notes that this still has the column shift mechanics, though it also has a floor shift.
“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A that I bought from a customer of mine. Her husband bought it brand new and I have only driven it to town a few times. The gears are good and tight. It starts just fine on the 6 volt system. The Heater still works and I think they are kind of rare. When I bought the jeep She said that it had not been started for over ten years. After inspection I found thick oil in the oil pan so I removed the pan and cleaned out the old oil before trying to start the engine. At this time I took pictures of the cylinders for inspection. Two of the cylinders have marks where the rings sat over the years. The cylinders will at sometime need to be honed out to remove the small ridges which you can see in the pictures. After I had the carburator cleaned and we were able to start the engine the water pump had to be replaced with a new one and I put a new belt on at that time.
I have driven the jeep around while hunting and totally had a great time. It is like going back in time and looking at the scenery a little longer because you are traveling a little slower.”
I’ve included only part of the description. The seller’s description is extensive.
“This is a 1951 CJ3A Willys jeep that belonged to a SE Georgia Cattle farmer and hasn’t ever been in salty roads of colder areas. This vehicle was one of 3 jeeps that belonged to person and had nice weather proof shelter over head appeared not to have been abused or trashed” and limited use because of multiple “toys. This is not a patch plate or bondo special as some of these older Willys on ebay appear to be and even the under pasenger seat utility box is solid(rare). The wind shield frame is very solid as well and this is recurring problem on Willys exposed to elements as well as floor pans.The paint is recent and is enamel OD green and only pic with dog is pre new paint that jeep is currently….”
