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 .
I’ve been exploring Manhattan today by foot. One of the places I wandered through was the M&M store at Times Square. I couldn’t resist photographing the jeep display. I may or may not have more posts later tonight.
Jonas wrote me the other day telling me he’s got a rare M-606. I asked him if the Data Plate was stamped ‘M-606’ and he said it was and that the speedometer is in KMs. He’s invited me to drop by and see for myself, so I hope to report on it in early October. Thanks for sharing! Cool pics, too! I love the contrast between the sky and the trees, jeep and grass.
He wrote, “I own a actual M606 jeep made by Kaiser in 1966. This is not a military CJ3B. It was exported (to Argentina I think) and then repatriated back to the US. Or it never left, nobody knows really. But It is here now and it is pretty original with all the features unique to the M606. I have acquired a Koening winch and hard cab for it in the past month and put a set of proper traction type tires on it.”
Roberto emailed me this unusual illustration. I haven’t seen much Mahindra artwork.
Brett spotted this CJ-2A. The front turn signals are non standard, but aren’t too bad for non standard ones. Anyone know the vehicle of origin? It has an OD.

“We just parted out a Jeep CJ and it had the Turbine wheels on it. They are nice wheels they are 5 on 5.5 so ther fit the 5 Lug ford and some Jeeps. There are a set of 4 wheels they are made by Superior Industries the part # inside is 39-578X. Comes with the lug nuts off the Jeep.”
It runs …. No pics provided.

Thanks and have a good day. 303-229-0727 I don’t have text.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400
I’m guessing the wood piled on top of this jeep indicates it doesn’t run.
“1946 Willys jeep. Rebuilt motor. Project jeep.”
That’s a MB or GPW body that might not be too bad under all that surface rust.

“1946 Willys Jeep 4×4
vehicle has no title,being sold for parts, bill of sale will be given
The jeep was running when parked 8 years ago for a hub issue, the hub was pulled and never repaired and the jeep has sat in the same spot ever since(hence the trees growing up around it). Jeep does not currently run, but all drivetrain components(engine,transmission,transfer case,differentials,axles) are fine. The drivetrain is the original Willys flathead 4 cylinder,3 speed tranny, all complete. The hood,front fenders,grill,tailgate and dash are in good shape. The tub(floorboard area) is completely rusted out. The frame is badly rusted on the back half, the front half looks strong and useable. The buyer will need a trailer,ramps, and a winch to transport the jeep, we can provide some assistance with loading if necessary. If interested, please call Scott at 512-844-3218, do not email.
The tow bar in the picture is not included in the sale of the jeep and will be removed this weekend.
Thanks for looking.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
It runs and drives. It looks like it is missing a few parts and patched.
“1948 Willys Jeep….Have clear Texas title…..runs great, does not smoke, good tires, needs windshield, converted to 12 volt. Great project or use as is. Price is firm.”
UPDATE: A Buyer bought this through the ‘buy now’ button. It will be restored.
“You are bidding on a 1942 Slat Grill Willys mb. The serial number is MB 114517 DOD is 1/27/42 the Toe gusset # is 17920.
The Frame tag and dash data plate match.
Overall the jeep would make a great restoration project. Please take the time to go through all the pictures I’ve attempted to leave nothing out.
The jeep comes with a lot of the hard to find ORIGINAL parts such as an actual slat grill grill, Gas Gauge, 5 mph increment speedo (needs work the needle is broken), 30/30 amp guage, hinged filtertte, Rear seat, top bows, bumper, and an STL pintle.
The body is pretty straight and solid with the exception of a patch in the passenger floor board, a little rust in that passenger seam, some skimmed areas of body filler on the tub and rust out in the fuel tank sump and shovel area. The hat channels are decent but some will need a little repair. Again this is a very nice solid start (PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES IN SLIDE SHOW)
The frame is very nice and has the original bumper gussets and frame tag.
The motor does run when hot wired and the jeep rolls easy. The T84 transmission transfer all seemed to function just fine.
The motor is a bit of a mystery as the boss where the serial number should be is completely unstamped. The casting at the lower part of the engine is correct for what should be in a slat so I think it would pass a two foot test and I guess you could stamp the boss with what you want if you wanted it to pass for the actual original motor. The head is an early one with the two bolt thermostat.
I do have a number of other parts that will be included such as top bow brackets, body handles, and voltage regulator; These are all pictured in the slide show which has over 160 pics. (IF IT FAILS TO LOAD THE FIRST TIME HIT REFRESH AND if you still you still have problems let me know)
Don’t miss your chance to own this great Slat grill MB project, It has a lot of the hard and nearly impossible to find parts and a ton of potential.
I do have an open clear Idaho title from the last owner and I can put it in my name if this is any what of an issue for you.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“Up for auction, fresh out of the hills of Crossville, Tennessee, another Willys. I have been in the paint and body work field for over 25 years in Florida, I have restored several Willys Jeeps (CJ2A, MB’s, etc) in Tennessee and sold them here on eBay, but I decided this time around to do a 1952 Willys Truck.
This truck would make a perfect store front display or a movie prop. Runs great!
This is all original with the exception of a custom solid oak (seasoned oak) bed! The bed is stained “Golden Oak” and polyurethane cleared. After doing research on these trucks I realized how cool they look with the slat sides, and the fact that this arrived without the original steel bed, my decision was made. Special thanks to my dad who is an amazing woodworker; this truck is now truly a one of a kind! Custom wood burned WILLYS logo on center back oak slat. Interior door panels are also oak wood and stained. You might find other 1952 Willys trucks on the internet, but you will never find another one like this.
Frame was completely sandblasted and painted with automotive gloss black. All original metal, floor was previously replaced in the cab. All dents and rust completely removed, sandblasted, welded, body worked and custom painted. Paint is a two tone tan and brown. Colors used are “Cream in my Coffee” (tan) and “Chocolate Turtle” (brown). This color combination has had more compliments than you can imagine, especially with the golden oak stained bed.
Engine: 6 volt original Hurricane 4 cylinder F-Head. 134 cubic inch. Engine was rebuilt by NAPA in 2002, runs perfectly.
Drive train: T-90 3 speed manual transmission. T-18 transfer case, hi-lo 2 speed. Original self locking hubs. 4 wheel drive works perfectly. Original Timkin clam shell rear-end, last year they made them! 5:38 gears front and rear. (5) 16″ original wheels.
Electrical: Original 6 volt system, but has been rewired for 12 volt system. All you need to convert it to 12 volt is a 12v alternator, relay and coil, 12v battery, and change the lights. Already has a 12v electrical gauge installed and new 12v turn signal assembly on the column. The original vacuum wipers still work. Horn works too!
Items that are brand new consist of:
(4) new shocks (custom painted to match body), new brake cylinders, new brake lines (brakes work as good as new!), new wheel studs (now all RIGHT HAND threads), new chrome lug nuts, (5) brand new Maxxis Mudder Buckshot tires, new battery cables, new rebuilt starter, new rebuilt fuel pump, new exhaust (from manifold back including new muffler), new front axle seals (did I mention the 4×4 works perfectly), new 6volt head lights and chrome rings, new parking lights with chrome rings, new floor mats, new custom covered arm rests, new oil pressure gauge. New brake and clutch interior rubber pedal covers.
I have a clear Tennessee title and a Willys Logo key chain in my hands. She also has a fresh coat of wax.
Serial number: 452EC113384
Mileage: 33, 602
Items that I am including with the truck:
A box of original parts including, lights, interior heater vents and interior heater hose. Original head light brackets, Brand new oil cooler and filter, original door skins, original tail gate “skin”, not the complete tail gate (someone cut the entire center skin out of the original tail gate) has logo. Another front cowling (goes behind the front bumper), and a new rear window interior frame. Also have another spare tire steel side mount bracket”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
The seller lists this as a 1950, but the grille suggest 1946. Are there tool indents? I can’t quite tell.
“I have a 1950 Jeep WIllys CJ2a. Its in need of total restoration. It rolls and has original engine. Some spare parts.”
UPDATE: This is still available. Last for sale in 2009.
Here’s a great looking CJ-3b. I think the price is right on this one. It should go quick.
“Willys CJ3B for sale in great working order. I think this is a 1954 Willys but I will have to verify. Starts, runs, and drives great. This was my grandfathers Jeep and I am selling it for my folks. Jeep was restored by my uncle and he did a great job but it is not a concourse restoration. Engine has been rebuilt along with all engine components. Transmission, transfer case, and axels had fluid and seals replaced. New wiring and top. Brakes rebuilt and stops great. Tires like new. Email for link to see additional pictures. Serious inquiries only. Price is firm. Thank you. Call Jeff at 314-983-9974.”
http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/2605047124.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4300
I’m thinking this is a CJ-3A with a replacement body, hence the solid tub.
“For sale 1950 Willys CJ3A, clean title, has some surface rust but is not rusted through anywhere (no cancer). I bought it as a CJ3A, but this might be a first generation M38, it has military seats, military bumpers, a glove compartment (only m38 had it, not the civilian version), a military hard top. The engine runs smooth, was rebuilt less than 3,000 miles ago by the last owner. It has the original L134 “Go-Devil” 4 cyl engine, original transmission and transfer. Runs good, all stock except for tires, wheels, and a couple of aftermarket gauges. Top speed of 45-50 mph. This is a great daily driver as it sits or you could make a great restoration project out of it. Selling because I have too many toys and have to downsize the fleet before my new son/daughter is born. $4300 OBO, not interested in trades.”
