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: I believe this has been sold.
This looks in very good shape for the price.
“1944 willys mb rebuilt flathead 4 cyl lots of new parts runs like new great hunting vehicle or restore to original.has all new brake drums, wheel cylinders, brake lines, ujoints, suspension springs and bushings, seals, rebuilt steering box and all new tierod ends, and drive link,good tires.”

“40 -49 red jeep—4cyl motor—3 on the tree—2wd—been in storage for many years—no rust—will probably run with little tinkering—no title,but has 68 tag”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $500.
The engine is stuck.
“1959 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC-170.
The truck has the original flathead 226 “Super Hurricane” straight 6 engine but it is stuck. I had planned to pull the head and work the pistons free but I have no time for it now.. Has the 3 speed T-90 transmission. Being a Jeep it is of course four wheel drive.
These are bit of a rare bird as only ~35000 of them were ever made. This one has a fair bit of rust typical of living in the rust belt.
It used to be a farm truck up in Michigan. There’s no bed on it. It was originally a stake bed I believe.
The drivers side window has a crack through it. All the other windows are fine but the front windshield is a bit fogged along the bottom.”
This has a mb/gpw body.
“Rare, 1950’s CJ3A Willy jeep. Runs and drives!! I am pretty sure its a military body (told by many people). Jeep was restored about five or six years ago.

Aluminum steering wheel, New all weather seats. Flushed fuel tank, new fuel filters. Fun vehicle to drive year round.. Need to sell, losing our storage space.

“Has been sitting in my garage for 10 years! I don’t think I am getting any closer to finishing this project…
Very original, unique Oregon history, I have the original 1958 Oregon title, I am the second owner.
In good shape, does need some rust repair but not like most! Engine runs and it drives and stops. Brand new tires, white powder coat wheels with 2 spares (no tires on them). Two extra engines and another FC170 parts rig which is all there except the bed (was a flat bed).
I would love to get this out of my garage. Might be interested in a trade if something interests me.

This looks like a DJ-3A that has the solid back.
“Ok so here they are together for those of you who looked at my ad for the one before. I now have both in my yard. The complete vehicle has rust on floor and sides. Dont know what model it is. The motor is an F head.that had a new head put on it by the previous owner. It will start for you with some effort but smokes badly. I bought it that way from a friend of mine, got it started and drove it around my yard in 4wheel high and low. Brakes had been repaired but probably need fluid as the pedal goes to the floor. The extra tub also has rust but is in much better shape and easier to repair. The floor is rusted out on both sides to some extent and would need to be cut and new metal welded in. That tub has a tailgate as seen in the photos and is probably a CJ2a or 3a. Chassis only has the axles. No trans. Is a roller. The front hood, fneders and windshield plus grill come with it and can be seen on the flickr site at this link along with other more detailed photos of the jeeps”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500

Mike has added a few things to sweeten the deal: Two original “F” stamped seats, WW II jerry can holder, spare tire, canvas top. Mike would prefer to sell to a buyer who can inspect the jeep before purchase.

A reader would like to know of a good machine shop that can rebuild L6-226. Just add a comment and I will let the reader know.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This CJ-2A runs and has a rear pto.
“FOR SALE: Complete and intact 1946 Jeep cj-2a, I have been chipping away on making this truck a sweet little plow truck for the last couple of months, and have collected a bunch of great parts to that end. I have a full hardtop for the truck, that is in great shape, and it has a set of hard doors included with it, that could use some work. I also have a complete manual plow setup that goes with it, that i removed from a 1975 cj-5, and it has everything – pump, hoses, control head, stainless control arms, mounting bracket, rams, chains, etc, and has most of the mounting frame, but im sure it will need some welding and some angle iron to attach it properly. The truck has previously been fitted with a stainless and shorter than normal windshield frame, so there is an easy to patch 1″ gap between the roof lip and the top of the windshield frame, and the windshield frame is set up to accept glass or plexiglass, lexan, etc.
The jeep engine runs well, and is a stock 6 volt system. it fires right up and has excellent oil pressure. the tcase and transmission levers are stiff, so i got a completely intact trans/tcase combo to repair if necessary on the bench. i have not gotten into either one, but in the past, I have filled cases with similar feel with Marvel Mystery oil, and they freed up and were serviceable and useable, and i feel that the setup in the jeep right now will be fine, i just got such a good deal on a batch of parts that i couldn’t turn it down. ALSO INCLUDED with jeep are all the parts i have for it: spare starter, spare distributor, intake and exhaust manifolds, two complete steering shaft and box assemblies, a KILLER custom made stainless fuel for under the seat, a stock junky underseat fuel tank, headlight buckets set, front and rear driveshafts, spare engine fan, i got a rear seat along the way, two front seats, a spare dashboard with all gauges, a spare grill, a tow bar setup that attaches to the front to enable easy transport (I was gonna tow it behind my M35a2), a spare cluth setup, a really nice for its age tailgate with nary a rust hole – but plenty of patina. The hood has been replaced already with an NOS part and it is solid. Did i mention the hardtop is in great shape? yes it is. I know im forgetting some things. Like a whole spare frame … and i have a set of 4 35” bfg muds on rockcrawler cj5x5.5 rims, that i can include and will fit with either a sawzall lift or a traditional spring lift. I do have the left front fender but it is not on the truck in the pictures. Oh yeah and a spare radiator.
This truck also has – intact and complete – a PTO setup built off the tcase, with a separate control lever, that drives a shaft that runs to the rear of vehicle and turns a large three belted pulley. It is all there and can be made to work. Four control levers throught the floor is a good look for a willys. The nameplates and tags on the dash that explain how things work and all are still there too. I have scraped off all excess rust, old paint, debri, etc, and painted the entire body with a rust reformer grey primer, kinda a naval appearance, it has kept the neighbors and girlfriend off my back about the appearance of it while i worked on other aspects… it went from being a “rusty pile” to “cute little jeep” almost overnight! and so when you pull it home on a trailer, it’s home-show ready, and will not offend the wife or anyone who just doesn’t get jeep culture. Although it will need some work (brakelines, lotsa grease, perhaps some body patching, weld on the plow frame, etc) to be the rig i know it can be”
UPDATE: Was priced at $4800.
Needs work to be road ready. While in Kempner, stop by the Power Wagon Museum.
