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 $9700
“1952 Willys M-38, 2003 AACA Senior First Place Winner, Restoration completed in 2001, orginal data plates, 12volt, new battery, turn signals, all black out lights work, pioneer shovel and ax, summer top, windshield canvas, and car cover. Great running flathead 4cyl, 3spd trans, with no issues with the 4 wheel drive. Show, drive or parade ready.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
Comes with spare motor.
“Not running. Spare motor comes with it. This is a great restore project. Cab and chassis. Asking $500 or best reasonable offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000.
“I’m listing my 1942 Ford GPW WWII Jeep. It was a complete frame off restoration. There may be 2000 miles on a complete rebuild motor. It’s coming all set up for the winter months. It has an early made Arctic top made just for the WWII jeeps, and I’ve installed a heater for the cold winter days. The drivers seat os adjustable so that big guys can drive it. I’m 6’5″ and would have had to drive with the steering wheel imbedded in my stomach. It has 4 brand new 600×16 military tires on it. A new paint job and a spare gas can that is dated 1942 to match the year of the Jeep. I’m asking $9000 to me it’s worth much more but with the economy the way it is I thought I would be realistic. If you’ve gone to any Car shows around southern maine you’ve seen this jeep with a big machine gun on it. NO the gun doesn’t go with it.”
There is some value and it looks pretty bone stock. I think it has a rear PTO.
“1946 willeys jeep…complete but needs lots of work to get her back on the road…. really solid for a jeep sitting in a farm field… $500 firm on the price no title…..i dont like jeeps so it has to go…. also have another frame with transmission and axles…..SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY! I HAVE HAD TWO PEOPLE WHO I HELD IT FOR AND THEY NEVER GAVE ME A DIME….IF YOU DONT HAVE THE CASH DONT CALL…..AGAIN I AM FRIM ON THE PRICE…. 314-779-4376”

This appears solid, as the seller claims, but is not “bonestock unmolested” “all original except engine”. A cursory glance shows the gauges have all been replaced, it’s got updated rear lights, an aftermarket turn blinker, it’s got turnout hubs, the dash has minor mods, it looks to have been changed to 12 volts, and the bumper area is non stock. My biggest concern would be the lack of real protection on the intake; you can see a simple screen has been attached with a clamp.
“1945 GPW Military Ford Jeep. All original except engine. Motor is a 4 cylinder L head engine off a later model jeep. 3 speed manual. Bonestock unmolested otherwise. Has a 8274 Warn Winch. No rust, no bondo. Never wrecked or rolled. Own a piece of U.S. military history. Runs and drives great. A running, driving, roadworthy daily driver. Clear title in hand. Very rare. Windshield pops out and collapses.”
UPDATE: UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
“For-Sale 1946 Willys CJ2a Jeep W/Trailer. This Jeep was my father’s retirement project. It’s all original, transmission shifts good, runs good. Everything works. Has a white vinyl top, also has the rear bench seat. The only issue is the brakes, it has a nice high brake pedal but doesn’t stop very good. The trailer is painted to match the jeep. The trailer has a hand brake which works good also. The tires on the Jeep are good. I even have the original 600-16 tires for it”
UPDATE: Was $2700. Status Unknown.
(06/09/2010) This looks pretty good.
“Very nice jeep, runs and drives, needs tune up, looks great, has a 327 chevy in it, 4 wheel drive, high and low gears, 3 speed trans. New low price, must sell, bring all offers, lets deal. ”
This has some mods, but hard to tell just how much.

“-283 V8 w/headers

-5.38 axle ratio
-full roll cage
-skid plate
-tow bar
-tilt/telescopic wheel
New battery, new alternator, rebuilt carburator. No leaks, no rust, no doors, no heater, no power anything. I previously invested over $7000 in this, but then it sat in a barn for ten years. It’s running like new again, but the tires are old, and it still needs brake work. This is a turn-key, mostly complete, running jeep for the price of a project jeep. Clean title, but currently registered non-op. Make offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
The body doesn’t appear too bad.
“1947 Willys Jeep, Ford Pinto motor(powerplant), 3 speed transmission, twin stick transfer case, does not run has not ran since 1992, body is straight. Restoration is needed to complete project. This is not a military issue civilian model. Made by overland motors company. Pinto motor was a common swap due to the go-devil motor was weak.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** See more pics here: http://www.ewillys.com/?p=61299
This looks like a DJ-3A Surrey Body on a 70s CJ-5 frame to me. It was listed as a CJ-3B on Craigslist.
“We have this CJ3B sitting in our barn and it’s time for it to go. Don’t want to scrap it and would like to find someone who can put it to use somehow. Asking $700 or best offer. Not sure of any of the details of the Jeep. Needs an engine, transmission is there though not in the Jeep. Probably have some of the parts lying in/around it, so those will be a part of the price.”
No pics. Unsure what it is.
“50’s jeep Willys not sure of the exact year. No title, No motor. Great for parts.$350.00
Call David @208-861-5151”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300
The seller just needs to get rid of it. It might make a very cheap parts wagon.
“I selling 53 willys wagon that has a lot of parts taken off of. I am done messing with it so I want to just sell it with what it has left. It has a ford 8 inch rear end. no motor, trans, hood or title. I just need it gone soon. I will haul it to scrap unless someone wants to come take it off my hands.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
The seller believes this was the original body, but it looks more like a repo body to me. Also, there’s been a good deal of welding along the passenger front frame rail and along the underside of the driver’s side rail, which could indicate the original rails weren’t in good condition. Also note the modified transmission undercarriage.
“Original Steel tub, No rust, no rot, just some minor surface rust here and there
UPDATE: Was $650. **SOLD**
(03/28/2011) There’s some value here, but not much GPW left.
“I’m selling my 43 jeep project. It’s not very original. The guy I bought it from converted it to Toyota running gear. It comes with two 4.3 vortec v6s. It doesn’t have the terra tires anymore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(11/16/2010) There are a few updates to this flattie.
“Im selling my 1948 Willys jeep for $4500 obo. has a rebuilt stock flat head 4 cylnder. New Wheels and Tires. No Rust. Runs Great, only reason we’re selling is because we don’t drive it anymore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
The good news is that the tires hold air.
“For sale: 1952 Willys 4×4 with utility body on back. It is complete. It needs restoring. Tires are up and holding air. It rolls good and is easy to move. Can deliver if needed with trailer. Come take a look. This is a great restoration project for hunting, off road driving, mudding, or for the collector”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This has a winch that’s worth a few hundred all by itself.
“Willys Jeep project, purchased jeep to restore but have way to many projects going on. There is no title!!! You will have to acuire a title yourself. It has been retrofitted with a Ford 351 V8 that will need work, I put on a starter to see if it would turn over but no success. This jeep has alot of potential and with a little blood, sweat and tears this could be a fun project. Come by and take a look, and thanks for looking.”
Not all original, but pretty close.
