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 $1500.
If this really has a 4:1 transfercase gearing, then this might be a fine price. Is the body a vec body?

This appears to a mb/gpw.
“For Sale is a 1942 CJ2A Jeep. Its has a good running motor but needs restoration overall. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
“Tub number: 99803 aprx date of manufacture July 3rd 1944
Titled: Yes
Nomenclature plates: none
Info:
Jeep was originally purchased in 1960’s and used extensively on vineyard land as a family tour vehicle.
The condition of the frame shows some rear cross member damage and the front cross member has a rust hole in it but all is within your normal “fixable” range of condition.
The body tub tool box floors are rotted through and there is patch work to the floors in places.
Modifications include:
Home made tow bar assembly
M38 – CJ front windscreen with no wipers
Front seat frames back rest repaired with newer tubing
No rear seat
No top bows or brackets
No body handles or hardware
Tub was skinned on the front sides and seams bondoed
CJ radiator
Homemade wiring to tail-lights
After market tail-lights
Ford truck wheels- 16 inch rims- 650 mud and snow tires in good shape (no spare)
After market speedometer
Period correct reproduction Temp, oil pressure and voltage meter and key switch.
No nomenclature plates.
Engine and drive-line:
The engine shows a compression reading of
1- 100 lbs
2- 86
3- 85
4- 100
The engine may need a valve adjustment but appears to run fine. Components work off of the original 6 volt system.
The heat riser is stuck and needs to be serviced.
The transmission shifts and performs normally.
Some oil seepage mixed with dirt is present but no major oil leakage on the ground.
Proper air cleaner, cross over tube, oil filter housing. The carburetor is a CJ (636-SA) Carter in good running order.
Conclusion:
This Jeep has been driven slow most all of it’s life. The running gear and motor are in good useable condition. The body is good for hunting and gathering but obviously not for show. A full restoration is possible but the Jeep would need a lot of correct style components so the cost may be prohibitive.
This Jeep would be best used as a….Vineyard Jeep or hunting.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
“I have a 1962 Willy’s CJ6 its original has a brand new paint job. The soft top is two years old and has been parked undercover, It has the original 4-cylinder engine that has been rebuilt as well. For more pictures, details or any questions feel free to email, txt, or call.”

(01/02/2011) This appears to have an unusual bar on the passenger side spanning across the rear wheel well.
“I have the title in hand, with current registered black plates.
This is a nice old jeep. It has a Willys MB hood. This was one of the first Ford keeps made. The frame serial number is GPW 10792* (yes it is a star, not a missing number) The body does not have a serial number, which is correct for the early 42 jeeps. The motor serial is 171304, so it isn’t the original motor but it is still the correct L134
It has a Volvo gas tank behind the seats in the cargo area. The steering column and seats are vw.
The body and undercarriage are solid.
I had the starter rebuilt last year.
Has locking/non-locking front axle so it can be towed. Also has light hookup like a trailer for towing.
Has a black top and doors that come with it.
The bad- I had ezlube change the oil and 2 months later, I found out the oil had been leaking out of the drain plug. I found out when the motor stopped running. This just happened in mid August. Prior to this, I had put a new battery in it and used it daily for a 12 mile commute. Tranny and 4wd work great.”

Brendan from This Old Jeep asked me to put the word out about a soccer team fundraiser that includes a teen who built a very nice Willys Truck. You can learn more about it here. The goal is to raise $300 for the club, but a side goal is to get as many classic jeeps there as possible.
The event takes place at Saturday Oct. 1st 2011. 11am-2pm perryville Outlets Center Heather Ln Perryville Md. www.perryvilleoutletcenter.com This venue is just off of I95 at exit 93 so its easy to get to for most of us east coast guys. Registration starts at 9am.
It runs and drives.
