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 .
“3 1946 willys jeep 16″ rims. In great shape. B/O.”
http://hartford.craigslist.org/pts/2288883376.html
Anyone in the Utah/idaho area have 4 16″ stock rims? I’ve got a buyer for them. d@ewillys.com
Maybe there’s something here for someone.
“1976 and 1973 Scout for sale
Both have good 345’s. One has a 3-speed, the other has an automatic. Both have dana 44’s. Both are projects but were on the road several years ago. Both have removable hard tops and clear titles. Asking $1000 each or will sell together for $1800.
1949 and 1959 Willys overlander wagons
The 1949 has a good 292 v8 with a t-98 four speed transmission with a granny low gear. It comes with a dana 18 transfer case. Has a dana 25 axle up front with a dana 44 in the rear. Most of the hard work has been done, but there are things that need finishing. It has a lot of parts included, such as a power steering assembly, power brake set up, after market wheels, and much more. It has an extremely soild body with hardly any rust. Most of the orginal paint has been stripped down to start the body work. Asking $1400
The 1959 comes with a lot of new replacement parts from willys of America. It has no engine. But does have a t90 transmission, dana 18 transfer case, dana 25 axle up front, and a dana 44 in the rear. It is taken completely apart, but all of the body parts are included with the sale. Asking $700
I have way to many projects and need the room, that’s why they are all for sale. Will sell both wagons together for $1800. Will sell everything together as a package, 2 scouts and 2 willys wagons, for $3200.
These would be great rock crawler, off road, or mud trucks. Everything you will need is there. My plans were to use the scout running gear in the Willys wagons, but I have to many other projects going on. All prices are negotiable.”

The engine is rebuilt and looks nice.
“1954 Willys Jeep CJ 3B . . . Have done a lot of mechanical restoration on this Jeep. It has a rebuilt engine with new clutch.
New: Brakes all around; shoes, wheel cyls.,hoses and lines.
Radiator, hoses,and waterpump
Fuel tank, fuel pump,and rebuilt carb.
It runs and drives well. Was originally 6 volt system.Somewhere in its life someone converted to 12volt system. Everything works but, I would probably replace the wiring harness because it is the original harness and is old. The frame is good, getting thin by rear spring shackles,but not hard to repair.( hey, it is a 56 yr old frame,how long does a frame last on a Toyota today…?) The body is original as far as I can tell. Has been patched up, needs a little more to be inspectable for the road.Top, is all there but,as you can see in pictures is coming apart at the seams. Very easy to restore, not much that is not available from various parts vendors to restore one of these old Jeeps. Asking $2250 (don’t call and offer $1000, unless you want a rolling shell) Call 802-343-0112. Thanks for looking.”

“for sale 1943 jeep with hardtop body is in good con call for more info $600.00 obo call Jesse at 253-222-4957”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000
(06/28/2010) It’s priced a bit high given the amount of work left. It’s got some old school steel wheels.
“This is a project jeep. It has rebuilt Ford 289 engine ready to be put in. It has flat front fenders and a hood.”
http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/cto/2314862806.html
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/09/2011) This tub is half CJ-3B (front) and half DJ-3A (rear).
“Yes, it is still for sale, I have had issues getting my phone messages. If you have called and didn’t get ahold of me, im sorry, feel free to call back. I am moving out of state and don’t have room on the trailer for this project.
I am selling my 1957 Willys CJ3B project. I have been slowly getting this thing built, but I just don’t have the time to finish before I leave and no room to take it with me. The Tub is a mix of CJ3B cowl with a ’56 willys DJ3 / MB tub (the DJ cowl was cut up and gone before I got the tub) sitting on a ’70’s 2wd mail jeep chassis with a Dana 44 rear axle and stock 2wd front axle. The 70’s mail jeep chassis has the better steering and is stonger around the engine area then the CJ frames, has out board mounted rear leaf springs and brand new 31×10-15 tires.
I was building this jeep for the sand dunes, so the original 4cyl is long gone, I will include a rebuildable chevy 350 v8 and chevy short shaft th350 automatic transmission. Neather are mounted and they do need rebuilt
So for $700 you can have an old jeep project…or buy the wheels, tires, engine and trans and get the rest of the stuff an a bonus. Let me know if you are interested, I have the title in had, not yet notorized. Eli-509-230-7239”
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/pts/2315517628.html
UPDATE: Was $3500 **SOLD**
(12/19/2010) lThis needs additional work.
“I have a 1947 willys cj2a. it is a project.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2850
(03/07/2011) This has a variety of mods. I’m unsure of the transfercase setup (someone recognize that?). I have to say I’m a little surprised this runs the early C shackles.
“FOR SALE: A 1948 jeep willys mudder. This was built strictly for the mud. Has a small block chevy with a power glide tranny. The guy I bought it from says it has a full size blazer running gears. You won’t see one like this one! Smokes when first started up. Rough as hell, cool as hell! Call 618-473-3208 or 618-402-9717 for more info or pic’s.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
(11/17/2009) This includes a brand new top, a rebuilt dana 18, a limited slip in the rear and extra parts. This might be a good deal if the rust isn’t too bad and it runs.
“I have a 46 2a for project for sale. Complete minus radiator, wiring, distributor, drivelines will need to be modified, sheet metal needs some finishing ect. The Good: 225 buick V6 with novak motor mounts, rebuilt T14, rebuilt dana 18/20 i cant remember with factory ebrake, dana 27 front, later model dana 44 rear with new limited slip both axles have been gone through, new 2.5 rancho lift kit wtih rs 5000 shocks and u bolt kit, bucket seats, besttop tiger top never installed but dustly I think I have the hardware for the top somewhere, The frame has only minimal surface rust otherwise painted black, the body is complete and very straight for age with some rust mostly if not all surface though, roll bar, good bias ply mud terrain tires 30/9.5/15 i think.”
It was running 30 year ago. It has been stored a while. It might be a good restoration project. This appears to have a Worman half cab.
“For sale is a good condition 1946 Willys Jeep. It has been garaged for 30 years and was running then. Has power take off for plow, and 4 new rims still in the boxes. Body is in good condition with minor rust. Great classic Jeep ready for the right person to restore! $2500. **MUST be able to pick this up in GLEN COVE, LI!!**”

(03/29/2011) It looks like at least 2 tires come with the rims.

UPDATE: Still Available
(09/14/2010) This looks like a great price.
“1952 WILLYS JEEP M 38 Runs great! The body is in excellent condition! Here is what has been altered: The second battery box (which was removed and bonded over). This was done before I received the Jeep. The 24 volt system was removed and the 12 volt put in its place. Also, I added power steering! The motor is a Buick V6 225 that was taken from a scrambler and placed in the jeep. It can climb a tree! It has a 3 speed transmission out of a 1968 CJ5. The transfer case is from a 1968 CJ5 as well. Both the transmission and the transfer case are the same make that used to be put in the earlier willys. I’ve also got a few extra parts for this jeep that you can have at no additional cost. Just to be clear this jeep is completely off-road ready! It doesn’t smoke at all and there are no unusual noises. My number is 928-607-1120. email, call, or text. I have additional pictures. Come take a look!!!”

Brian spotted this great find. It runs, drives and looks pretty solid. This is a steal at this price.

Roadmonster.org wrote about designer Tavis Highlander and his wagon last year. According to the post, his illustrations have been featured in Hot Rod and Car Craft Magazines. In addition, he illustrated and then built the below wagon, which has been featured in Hot Rod Magazine, Truckin’ Magazine, and Radical Renderings.
