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 .

“1943 Jeep MB
While in college, I purchased this Jeep in 1965 from the family that bought the Jeep at the end of WW2 at the Long Beach, CA dock.
The original owner used it on their ranch in Tustin, CA. They added a metal box to the back of the tub and added some height to the windshield frame. Warn Hubs and a tow bar were the only other modifications.
I added a roll bar and seat belts. I used the Jeep for college transportation and trips to the San Bernardo, CA. Mountains. During my time in the Navy, my father drove the Jeep to work daily.
Since the 1970s, we have used the Jeep occasionally on our ranch. My father and son overhauled the motor in the 1980s as a project for my son.
Last year, I pulled it into the shop to check it out. I got the motor running fine, had the starter rebuilt and found that the trans and transfer boxes needed rebuilding due to moisture damage. I installed a new-old-stock transmission that I had acquired sometime back and completely overhauled the transfer gearbox. The flywheel was surfaced. The pressure plate was rebuilt. The clutch plate and associated bearings were replaced.
I replaced the entire brake system, including lines and cylinders, with new parts except the drums, which were resurfaced.
All wheel bearings, u-joints and hub seals are new.
The Jeep is completely original down to the wheels and skid plates except as noted.
I have saved all the old parts.
The jeep runs and drives and has some needs. The charging system is inoperative and the body needs to be refinished.
I started to restore the Jeep for my grandson to drive. After spending the time and effort thus far, I decided that it was too original for my ranch use and really not suitable as a daily driver for my grandson in Southern Ca. traffic. Times have indeed changed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
(09/23/2010) There might be some value here. The cage appears to be a little too tall to sport a normal top.
“I am selling a 1946 jeep willys 4×4. It has a ford v8 289 with an auto three speed tranny. It has an advanced adaper kit that has the original dana 18 t-case. It has a edelbrock 4 barrel carb, with a torkker intake, and headers. It starts and runs rough, but it needs the front brakes redone, because the original drums just don’t cut it. It is in pretty good shape, all lights work, and i even have a title for it. I need 1500 because that is what i need to fix my boat. That price is firm so if you don’t want to pay than don’t bother. e-mail me at the above link and i will get back to you a.s.a.p I will even call if you leave you phone number thanks for you time.”
No green paint was spared in the coloring of this jeep.

If the VIN is original to the body, then this is a 1958 DJ-3A rather than a 1940s CJ-2A. Not that it really matters, as there’s not much here (except for a good VIN plate).
‘Hello, I am selling a rusty 1940s vintage willys.. Either complete or just selling some parts.. Overall its pretty rusted/shot however It does have the orignal rear end as well as many other parts..

304 V-8.
77,000 original miles on motor
Jeep is complete, but it is still a project. Needs re-wired, and gas lines/tank re-installed.
Minor rust on body, worst spots are on passenger side rocker guard, and under windshield. Frame has some rust spots, but is not broken or bent. Cab floor is solid, rear of tub has some rust on the inside.
I bought this Jeep as a project; I just purchased a new Jeep Wranger JK. Wife says one too many projects around, this is the last one to go. Buying a house this Spring, don’t want to take Jeep with me. First time seller on Craigslist, if it doesn’t sell on here, will advertise Jeep locally. I have all parts to get this project rolling, (extra solid frame, extra vinyl seats, new fuel lines, diamond plating for rocker guards/windshield).
Jeep will come with a new starter (installed). Please help this Jeep find a good home.
Jeep will have to be towed or trailered.
You can hear Jeep start and run, but wiring is a mess.
First $1,000 CASH takes it!!!

This looks good, though I’m not a big fan of the fan being installed on the outside of the grille.

A big project yes, a “good project”? I don’t think so. If only character was valuable, this might just fetch $35k at a Barret auction.

Has an unusual body. My first thought was unibody, maybe fiberglass(?), as I can’t see seams between the front clip and the body. In fact, the hood appears to be a normal sized low hood that sits a top a solid CJ-3B clip (fenders/body/grille all molded/welded together).

Bill spotted this … as he suggested, sit down …. the auction estimate was $12,000 – $17,000 which in itself is an inflated price in my opinion. However, this past weekend this franken jeep sold for $35,750.
“63 hp, 134.2 cu. in. flathead four-cylinder engine, Carter carburetor, three-speed manual gearbox with low-range, four-wheel drive with live axles front and rear with semi-elliptic leaf springs, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 80″
– From the Bill Jacobs Collection
– Only 578 miles since total nut-and-bolt restoration
– Original Forest Service Jeep with shovel and axe included
– 4WD with low range, trailer hitch, full gauge package
The 1946 Jeep offered here is beautifully finished in white. It was reportedly the property of the US Forest Service and carries the appropriate axe and shovel. It was the subject of an extremely detailed two-year restoration in 2001 by Jim Neirynck of Macomb Township, Michigan.”
My car broke down on i84 near hermiston tonight. My hose sprung a leak and i lost coolant over a stretch of a few miles. I didnt notice until my warning light voice activated, basically telling me to get off the damn road. After an hour or so Dan, who works for the oregon DOT saw me and offered to help. one thing lead to another and it turns out Dan owned a 1973 cj5. As you can image, jeep talk filled the conversation for the remainder of our time together. After stops at the auto parts store and ace hardware, i got what i needed to put everything back together. So, big THANK YOU to Dan!!!!!
No updates tonight as i wont get home until late. Another day, another adventure!!!
