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 .

“it is pretty rough but does run. engine has been replaced with a 70’s mustang in line 6.”
UPDATE: Joe reports this is a VEC CJ-2A. **SOLD** Was $850.
“1946 Willys Jeep with TITLE!! Desperate need of restoration. I last remember using this vehicle in the 1970’s, for pulling trees, hauling & just having fun. I understand that it needed a fuel pump back then, and unfortunately… No one has moved forward with Willy’s care”
After initially purchasing this CJ-2A, Diego shared some pictures with me. It was pretty rough and I knew he was had plenty of work ahead of him. He recently completed it, especially considering the rough condition of the original, has turned out really nice.
Diego write, ‘I finally finished my project after almost two years. It has sometimes been a pleasure and sometimes a pain in the neck, but at least I’m pretty happy with the results. And even though is CJ2A post war jeep, I gave it a military theme. I always like the military style.”
Well done Diego!
You can see the entire transformation here.

HOG forwarded this. Who thinks up these things? What’s the thought process like? Well, I have this jeep and I have this boat … what to do, what do …. maybe I should install the boat on the jeep frame, but not make it able to float. Brilliant! Whoever did it gets a point for daring to do something really different.
“Who doesn’t want a 4wd JEEP powered 17′ Stick shift Galaxy boat! I wish I had the time to put this thing back on the road myself, but my lack of time and loss of storage is your gain! What I have for sale here is a 1974 Jeep CJ5 with the body cut off and a Galaxy 17′ boat hull attached!
It has been in storage since the early 1980’s. It was really well done! No it’s not amphibious but it is fun and you know there will not be another one at the drive thru or out on the trail! It ran and drove when it was put away but needs some work to go back on the road now. The 258ci strait six Jeep motor turns free and the manual transmission feels ok. The brakes need to be gone thru totally, the master cylinder is missing but is a stock jeep piece and can be bought at any auto parts store, all of the mechanical parts are actually readily available because they are jeep.
Its a fiberglass 17′ Galaxy hull that can be painted or polished back to a shine! I flat towed it from where it was so I know everything spins and turns. Unfortunately THERE IS NO TITLE OR PAPERWORK for it so it will be sold with just a bill of sale for the Jeep vin number. This is 100% as is no warrantee no guarentee!”
It’s a bit dirty, so I can’t tell the condition of the body.
“i have a badasss 1949 original willys jeep its got a 283 high performance chevy small block in it. its on 31s and its got dual exhaust with cherry bombs the body condition is perfect! very clean and extreamly powerful it runs perfect theres nothing wrong with it. also has a 2 inch block lift on it im selling because i need a new dirt bike i am up for some trades but only for equal value im asking $2600 if you are intrested in buying or trading txt me at 928-308-6291”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
Does anyone recognize that top?
“Pictures show it all. The only thing that is gone from pictures is the front finders. This is Just a body and frame, No engine or transmition.Jeep goes for $200 and hard top goes for additional $100. Take one or both”
It’s not entirely stock, but looks solid.
“For your consideration is my 1942 Willys MB Army Jeep. I restored this Jeep several years ago and it gets used very little so I have decided to part with it. When restoring the Jeep I took the body off of the frame and installed new brakes (wheel cylinders, pads, master cylinder, brake lines) and painted the frame. I also undercoated the body. The engine is a flat head four cylinder but I am not sure it is original to the Jeep. I was told it was probably a little later model engine and that it had been gone through. The only thing I have done to the engine was to install new plugs, wires, distributer cap, rotor, etc. I also had the carb rebuilt and converted the Jeep to a 12 volt system with new electrical wiring. The engine sounds very good and does not smoke or use oil. The transmission and transfer case do work. I had the transmission rebuilt and it works well but it is sometimes difficult to get into second gear. It seems to be getting better with use. All gages are in good working order and the speedometer is new. The seats have been recovered as can be seen in the pictures. I also installed a new correct fuel tank and the Jeep has new tires on it. This Jeep is missing very little to make it complete. I do not have a top or top bows, what you see in the pics is what I have.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This looks like it needs a closer inspection.
“1946 willys jeep CJ2 B. Needs battery and gas tank. will run $3500 OBO.”
This looks in great shape.
“This is an almost original 1949 Willys Jeepster, except for the paint and upolstery. It is 2 wheel drive and only 79720 original miles. The vehicle ran 5 years ago when it was put in storage and it will run again with little effort. Please contact 716-864-7107 for more information and to schedule an appointment”

It’s rough, but unusual. The seller buys and sells old flatties.
“Up for auction is a 1951 Willys M38 US Navy Radio Jeep. This jeep originally had a radio set in it. There is no motor in the jeep at this time but I have a willys flat head 4 cylinder engine that goes with the jeep. The jeeps body is in good shape with very few to no dents. There is some rust on the passenger side of the jeep ( see pictures ) but other than that the jeep is in extremely good shape. The hood numbers are starting to come through the paint, so sanding it lightly will bring through the original US Navy hood numbers. The frame is in great shape with no cracks or rust other than slight surface rust here are there. Still has both bumperrets but missing the pintle hook. Has original front seat frames, gas tank, wheels and many other parts that are hard to find. All the data plates are still on the dash along with the radio set data plate located on the glove box door. This jeep would be a great restoration project. Comes with a clear Colorado title. sold as is where is. I can possibly ship the jeep depending where you are located. Or I know of some really good shipping company’s to ship it for you and they are very reasonable. If you have any question please feel free to call me at (970-462-7760) If you would like more pics let me know and I would be happy to send them to you, happy bidding.

Josh is selling this very complete GPW. He provides a very complete description along with more than 100 photos of it on ebay. If he says it you can trust it is true.
“You are bidding a 1945 FORD GPW serial number 272179 ALL NUMBERS do match; Frame, motor, and original glove box data plate. The Jeep does run, drive and stop. This jeep is what I’d call an older soft restoration (basically just a paint job, canvas, and mechanical attention where needed). It is incredibly complete and incredibly original. Really this one is a true survivor…..”
