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 .

The body appears to be MB/GPW.
“For your consideration is a cleanly & near fully restored 1951 Willys
CJ2A(?)Jeep 4X4. Appropriately nicknamed The Killer Bee (& having 3
hand painted Custom logo), this project began as a repair this, and
make that, and with time gradually ended up becoming essentially a
Top-down Custom Restoration project. With Approximately $14,500
invested, my loss is YOUR GAIN!! For Sale – $7500, obo.
This Willys is being listed for a friend, so reply by phone, NOT by email.
The phone number is shown at the end of this description.
This jeep has been garage stored nearly all the time especially in the
winter. Before restoration, original body rust was very minimal.
This Willys is loaded with custom made parts, and the outer body
and BUCKET interior has NOT been commercially painted having instead
been Coated with Yellow Rhino Coating with Heavy Texture for
providing an extremely durable surface for the most demanding or
abusive conditions. Rhino coating is a virtually indestructible Truck
Line-a-Bed product. Polyurethane based, Low VOC, coated with a very
heavy texture, uncommon for automotive surfaces, but will hide dirt on
this bright color very well. You could throw a wrench, or a full size
long nailed dog could jump on the hood without leaving a mark. This
surface coating is often used on smaller ATVs. For further info click
the following link http://www.rhinolinings.com/index.php
The expertly custom designed and manufactured black removable
hardtop was made with aluminum sheet-metal & is also Rhino coated
yet the hardtop has an awesome Medium texture. This gorgeous top
includes 2 rectangular rear side windows, and an aesthetically sized
oval rear window & matching removable black coated doors for both
the driver and passenger sides with lockable door handles, and custom
lockable sliding windows. The doors can be installed or removed in
minutes, and are easily stored. The fully handmade custom hardtop
& doors were strategically creased to blend for fit, form & function.
Other custom parts include the cool exterior rear mounted spare tire
bracket fabricated from standard cold rolled steel (CRS)tubing simply
designed 2″ X 2″ CRS rear bumper and painted black. Interior features
include a custom Full cage roll bar, painted black, and nearly fully
covered with matching bright yellow foam padding. The dash board
having standard speedometer, odometer, & fuel gauges is cleanly
lacquered in matching yellow paint. Included are electric windshield
wipers for the original drop down front military windshield. The original
glove box and door remain to maintain originality. Newer electronics
included a Cobra CB radio with electronics integral to the handset.
The super-long CB antenna mounts externally to the passenger side,
and is usually looped to the windshield while cruising around town.
A Marine AM/FM/CD player stereo is installed between & just behind
the front seats. 2 quality speakers are mounted on or near the rear
fender wells. A portable electric heater/defroster is included
which plugs into the spare 12vDC cigarette lighter outlet jack, and is
temporarily mounted to the windshield when necessary during the cold
winter months.
Interested buyers please call (seven-seven 5) four 2 three- eightyone 60.
If no answer – please leave a message with name and phone number.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** The jeep is 2wd with four lug hubs. Was $1000. May be part DJ.
I’m not sure parting this out will fetch more that $1000, but a seller can always hope.
“After doing some research I believe this is a 47-48 willys cj2a.. doesn’t have the original motor and I don’t think it runs.. I’m not goin to be interested in much less than $1000 or trade because I have seen that parting it out would be that or more..”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The flames really make it go fast. This runs. This has a Worman half cab.
“This jeep has been stored indoors since the 70’s until just this April when I purchased. I have a free and clear title that will go with upon payment. Mechanically this jeep works and runs great. It has a PTO and was set up as a plow truck for a small business. The jeep runs great, shifts, stops, plow setup works as it should and plow goes up and down as well as side to side. I do have the plow blade but it is not pictured. The frame and chassis seems solid and complete but the body has fallen apart and has been patched up to be functional over the years. The origiginal gas tank no longer is hooked up and gas is gotten from an outboard motor tank sitting in the back of jeep. If you need a good complete chassis or parts this is your chance here. Will need to be trailed for safety reasons as it has not run on the road for many many years. The plow blade is comletely good and functional, but was not handy to photo.
Like I said earlier this engine runs great and everyhting seems complete and working chassis wise including the transfer case, etc. Mileage is unknown. Please do not bid if you can not pickup by Sunday Oct 23rd unless making arrangements first.””

“1947 Jeep CJ 2A Willys Overland -New paint – New upholstery”
Doug contacted me tonight. He and some friends will be making a trip up to Idaho City to do some Jeeping. I drove above Idaho City last year in Biscuit and there are some fun places to explore. I only got lost once. Below are the details. Btw, take the bear and mountain lion and heard wolf warnings serious!
Idaho city
“There are a few Willys owners here in the Boise area who are taking a trip this next Saturday, Oct 15. Several of us met up about a month ago and made the trip to Idaho City. We had 2 CJ3Bs, a M38A1, M37 and M35A3, it was really cool. This will be our second trip and the last one for the year.
If there is anyone interested but cannot make this trip, they can contact me at: willysjeepcj3b@gmail.com and we will get them added to our email list.
Old Jeeps and military vehicles: join us for a drive on the Boise National Forest, Saturday, October 15. Travel will be on public roads in and around Boise N.F. Family and friends welcome.
Trip plan: Depart from Reserve St. alongside Fort Boise City Park in downtown Boise at 9:00 a.m. sharp. Travel up Shaw Mtn/Rocky Canyon Road #260 through the foothills to Robie Creek/Clear Creek Road #261, then Grimes Creek Road #364 to #307 and take 307 into Idaho City. Todd lives on the Hwy. 21 side and will be meeting us at the jct. of #260 and #261, so anyone coming from that side can do the same. Idaho City has a long and interesting history.
Here’s a link to the C of C website. http://www.idahocitychamber.com/ Gas and grub at Idaho City, then backtrack to Pine Creek Road #366 .
If time and weather permits, we’ll go up Pine Creek Road to Shafer Butte, circle Bogus Basin Ski Area, get on #275 below Bogus and take it back to Rocky Canyon Road. Total distance, including the Shafer Butte section, will be approx. 100 – 120 miles. Elevations will be between 2500’ and 7500’. Highway 21 is nearby in case you need to leave early.
Maps? There are many roads in this area, some public, some private, some with travel restrictions. The Forest Service office on Overland in Boise (next to Walmart) has two types. There are black and white “Motor Vehicle Use Maps”, one for each of the 5 ranger districts on the forest. They’re free, get all 5. They contain info on this year’s travel restrictions. You’ll need the Mtn. Home and Idaho City maps for this trip. They also have a large, color “Travel Map” for $9. It’s over 10 years old but gives a good overview of the entire forest. Todd, who lives in the area and travels it often in his 3B, has noticed that the forest maps aren’t always complete, so he uses topos too.
A final note: Todd also reminded us that he’s seen bear and mountain lion and heard wolves while travelling in this area. There was a mountain lion attack near his house last week.
They had me at flathead with a turbo. We need some pics and specs regarding this unusual mod.
