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: Not sure of the status of this junkyard. Original post if from 2011.
It looks like there are some good parts. Here are some other yards.
“Jeeps…and parts….Scouts…and parts…lots of parts….a Jeep M715 truck…..looking for something???? Just ask me to see if I have it….Randy”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
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.
“1950 Willy’s Jeepster Rat Rod setting on a 2001 S10 chassis. Chevy 350 cid, th350 transmission, 7.5″/7.625″ GM rear end with 4.56 gears. Suspension is set up for air bags. Range Rover air bags in the front. Rear ones were leaking so I pulled them and installed shocks and springs. Compressor and all hardware I have goes with it. Runs great! Eye catcher where ever it goes!”

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.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $11,000
(03/21/2011) This is a pretty rig. It’s mostly stock, though there are a few changes. One of them is that the windshield arms have been swapped in a clean manner for differently shaped arms. I thought the idea to put the lights under the rear was a creative solution to keep from drilling lights into the body; however, if they will take a pretty good pounding in dirty or gravel from flying rocks or dirt or water.
“This 1946 Willys CJ2A was completely restored and runs like a Swiss watch! Less than 1,000 miles of recently rebuilt flathead 4 cylinder engine. Carb rebuilt. All seals replaced, no leaks. 4×4, hubs, transfer case and transmission all in top-notch condition. New paint job — a real head-turner! New military tires. It breaks my heart to part with this Jeep, but I’m having to relocate for work and can’t take it with me. My loss is your gain! Happy to answer any questions you have. Please call 561-450-7524 or email mediarazzi@gmail.com.”

(04/30/2011) If the rust is light, this might not be a bad price.

Harold Stephen loves old jeeps. He loved them so much he spent time exploring the world in both a CJ-5 and a Landcruiser during the 1960s. In 1965-6 Harold Stephens, along with Al Podell, picture editor of Argosy magazine, formed the Trans World Record Expedition and set the world’s record for the longest non-repetitive miles motor trip around the world (42,500 miles). They captured their trip in their co-authored book, Who Needs a Road. I just bought a copy and you can find a paperback copy for sale here.
Prior to their joint trip, Harold purchased a CJ-5 and shipped it with a small trailer to Europe. He writes, “Three months in Europe, and no accommodations to worry about. I camped in the shadows of medieval chateaus and age-old monasteries. When I could find none of these, I camped in farmers’ cow pastures. Many times I awoke to discover cows nibble at my shoes outside my door. If farmers came, they were usually friendly, providing I had closed the gate behind me, and often invited me to the farmhouse for coffee and homemade bread.” You can read more about his CJ-5 European adventure here, including a two month stay in a Russian Jail.
He eventually made his way back to Spain, parked his Jeep and returned to the US. He sold his story to Argosy Magazine and then his editor asked him if he would be interested in an around the world tour in a Toyota Land Cruiser (I tired to find the argosy article, but was unsuccessful). He said yes, so he and a few others went pack to Spain, picked up a Landcruiser, snagged his jeep, and then started off on their journey.
This is Harold with his CJ-5:
Here’s a good pic of the Landcruiser

From April 19th through Dec 30 the Walter P. Chrysler Museum at One Chrysler Drive, Auburn Hills, MI, will be holding a special “70 years of Jeep” exhibit, which includes a special display of a Willys MA. Personally, it is slightly frustrating that the officials holding these ‘jeep’ anniversaries don’t recognize this as the 71st year (1940 was the actual delivery date of the first jeeps) rather than the 70th year, but it seems since they are sponsoring the events, they are framing history in their own way.
UPDATE: Was $6900. **SOLD**
There are a few things that aren’t original, but it looks like a fun parade rig.
“Here is a 1943 Willy’s MB military jeep. Runs excellent. Belonged to a 92 year-old veteran who used it in MVCC club. A whole lot of history here.”
UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**

(04/26/2011) There’s definitely some value here. It runs.
“This runs great. Also moves & stops but not road worthy. This has brand new rear springs that need to be installed. I do not have a reg. for it. This is probably better as a donor or lot truck .The plow blade needs repair or you can replace it. I plowed 2 big driveways all winter with out a problem. Junkers no thank-you. 657-3312”

Sadly, Keith filed a post-tornado special report today. He noted that while he, his wife Patsy and their son survived the storm as it blew through Chattanooga, his truck wasn’t so lucky. To make matters worse, he was just about to install a new starter and get it running, but until he completed that fix he kept it uninsured. So, place your antenna flag at half mast and wish Keith and his family well.
I ran across these images today of a rusted CJ-2A. The photos were taken in 2008 by Dave Scottin Heathcote, Ontario, Canada, and posted on Flickr. Check out the governer throttle along with the 3 datatplates. I think this sitting in a junkyard or in an area with other rusted vehicles. If you scroll over the map on Flickr, you can see exactly where it is. I think there might even be some useful parts on this, too. Given the governor throttle, I wondered if it might have a rear PTO (Click on the 3rd photo and I think you will see the top of a cutoff PTO lever). You can even almost make out the serial number on the data plate (click on image 2).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400
“I’m cleanIing out my shop and came across some neat old Willys Jeep sales and service signs my grandfather had many years ago…… there 25″ wide x 27″ high and both are double sided. Unfortunitly, they were outside and are in rough shape, but neither are dented, misformed, or have any holes in them. Just rusted in spots and faded. I also have 25 parts drawers full of new Willys Jeep parts. Mostly small stuff…… gaskets, seals, bushings, springs, etc….even seen a package a new piston rings.and most are still in the original Willys part package.
Asking $400.00 for everything….or. best offer takes it, and I’d be happy to sell somethings seperate too. Whatever works best.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $4000. ***SOLD***
The engine isn’t stock, but this looks like a good price on a nice looking Jeepster.
