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 $5000.
This looks in good shape.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700. This was listed for sale in 12/04/2008. It was priced at $3000 at that time.
The body lacks tool indents and has the tire mounted like the CJ-1 and CJ-2s. The front clips appears to be MB.

UPDATE: Was $3900. **SOLD** Dexter noted the crossmember appears square, suggesting this may be a GPW.
(04/26/2011) This appears to be a GPW with a early CJ-2A grille (rather than being a VEC CJ-2A).
“Used around farm and for hunting Can be seen on Stokes Ferry Rd. (off 200 by Stumpknockers and Red’s Restaurant).”
According to this link, here are some crazy Russian drivers tackling rivers using Ural 4230 trucks.
Claus forwarded this story and pics today from South Africa. As I told him, marriage can be a rocky road, so it only makes sense to start out newlyweds in a jeep! You might remember Claus’ brother’s build, which can be seen here.
Claus writes, “The past weekend my brother was asked, by one of his friends, to provide his jeep as their wedding car. Apparently the jeep was centre of attraction and completely shadowed the newlyweds hehehe :-). It even was part of the decor at the reception hall.”
Craig spotted this cool image of an unusual “Eat More Bread” delivery truck. He believes it was shown at the Chicago Auto Show in 1960. I looked through the Chicago Auto archives, but didn’t have any luck finding other examples of it.
I found another example of this rig in “The Story of the Jeep“
According to the CJ-3B Page, Willys-Overland considered a large delivery truck back in the erly 1940s, but apparently decided not to pursue them at that time.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1550
This looks like a great price. That’s only 500 miles from me … hmmmm.
“1954 CJ-3B. This early CJ is in good condition and runs very well. The carburetor has been rebuilt along with a new fuel pump and filter. The fuel tank was removed and cleaned then treated with a chemical sealant made especially for the task of restoring old fuel tanks. The original 4-cylinder engine also received new plugs, wires, oil, filter, etc. this past year.
The drivetrain is original and in proper functioning condition. The 4-wheel drive works as well as hi/low range. The electrical system is the original 6 volt and also functions properly. Head/brake lights, turn signals and even the electric wiper (converted from vacuum) all operate well.
The hydraulic plow works. It’s lifted by a single cylinder and swivels manually. It has a fresh coat of Caterpillar-yellow paint on it.
The interior of the CJ is pretty basic with a late-model bench seat put in sometime in the past. There is an under-dash heater plumbed in but its working condition is unknown at this time. The fuel gauge does not work; there is no sending unit in the tank. The windshield has several cracks.
The major areas of concern on the vehicle are the brakes and front suspension. The brakes do work, they are just very soft and the pedal goes to the floor. The fluid is full so likely the master cylinder is shot and/or the brakes need bleeding. The front suspension is very worn from carrying the plow for many years. Also of concern is most of the tires have very little tread and all are severely weather-checked.
Overall this is a very sound Willys that can be restored or used as is for plowing in the winter (even has a block heater). I haven’t spent a lot of time underneath it but there is not a lot of rust. You should come make that evaluation yourself. I can get more detailed photos of any areas of concern if you’re a very serious buyer. Realize it’s nearly a 60 year old vehicle though and priced very reasonably. MT title is in hand; vehicle has not been registered for the road since the early 1980’s.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750
It looks like there is value here. Note the seller will throw in an overdrive for another $250.
“1946 CJ-2A. This vehicle does not currently run, it’s a project. The previous owner said it ran great until the trans broke. The transmission (T-90) is out of the vehicle and needs rebuilding. The input shaft is damaged. The brakes are non-existent and the is some rust but not too bad.
This CJ has been modified with a Saginaw steering box and a 12 volt conversion. The hood and windshield frame depicted in the first photo are no longer on the vehicle. The hood was poorly repaired with bondo and the windshield frame was rusted badly. I have since found a better hood and windshield frame, they will be included with the sale of the vehicle. Additional modifications include the installation of a later F-head engine with a low-profile Holley carb. This carburetor is desirable as it allows you to keep the stock hood without cutting a hole in it for air-cleaner clearance. The carb has been rebuilt, the fuel-pump (glass-bowl type) has been cleaned and inspected.
I also have a Warn overdrive for this CJ and I will include it for an additional $250. The OD is not available separately; I’ll let the entire package go for $1000 firm. The tires and wheels may also stay with me depending on the results of the CJ-3B sale. This CJ will have the wheels and tires from the 3B should this sell before the 3B does. I’m keeping one of these Willys but two is kind of too much (I’m told).”
UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**
This has something unusual on the back.

At the very least it needs paint and glass. Other than that it appears a good deal of work has been done.
“1950 Willys Panel Delivery: Extremely unique running and driving project. Makes a great ratrod, or take it to the next level for a sweet street rod, lots of potential!
The top is chopped (excellent job), windshield is in, no side windows or rear windows, flat glass – should be inexpensive to have glass cut for it. It has shaved door handles, custom front and rear bumpers, wood floor in rear, bucket seats, console and a tilt steering column.
Small Block 318 w/automatic transmission, dual exhaust, no smoke, no leaks, no ticks, runs smooth.
I have the other 2 matching “old school” wheels that match the rear.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(04/01/2011) The pics are a little blurred, but it looks solid. The buy-it-now price of $2000 might be a good price.
