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 .
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).

I am re-listing this Jeep, price is now lower and includes all parts listed!!!
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.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900
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).
“1948 Jeep Willys, 289l V-8, auto trans, B&M shifter, low miles, new interior and upholstery, soft top included, all terrain tires, aux. fuel tank rack, alloy wheels, tow bar, clean paint, runs excellent.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $35,750.
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!!!
I seem to be driving in the internet’s slow lane tonight, so just a few updates!
The main reason for my trip to Seattle this weekend was to pick up a set of Forumla Desert Dog tires from Mitch with some good tread still left that I can use as offroad tires. I have four more hurricane rims just aching for these tires, so I can’t wait to get them mounted. This should really make Biscuit ready for summertime explorations. Thanks Mitch!
I think this image was snapped just over 2 decades ago outside of Victoria, BC. That’s me in the picture, shocked at the life that poor jeep must endure. I wanted to demonstrate the unethical treatment of this Willys. Just look how tight the cage is! With no place to move, to roam, to really stretch out, this poor Jeep was forced to live a semi-sheltered life outdoors, a prisoner to the whims of the weather. And, Canadians are usually so nice!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
There’s some value here. Looks like a good cage and the body appears solid too.
“This is a 1948 CJ2A with a clear title. It is sitting on a DJ frame and has a center mount Dana 44 rear end. The floor boards are rusted but the toolbox and dash are good. The windshield frame,hood, fenders and grille are also good. Pretty nice rollcage. No drivetrain.”
At $200 there’s some value.
