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: Was $5500. **SOLD**
“1946 Jeep CJ2A. Rare with original 3 on the column. Runs very good. Drive train in excellent condition. 4 wheel drive and rear P.T.O. Body in good condition. Driven often. Original 4 cylinder flat head engine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This looks pretty good.
“I am selling my 1954 Willy’s M170 USMC medic jeep. There were less than 4000 of the Jeeps ever made and less than a couple hundred thought to still be in existence. This Jeep is partially restored and needs to be finished. Email me with any questions and I will answer right away.”
This one cracked me up. The seller notes it is both fully restored AND it needs brake work. So, I’d say this is sort of restored.
“
1955 Willys Jeep. Runs great but needs brake work. Fully restored, great to use for hunting, recreation or even to put in a parade. Get a Jeep with history for less than a used ATV! Call 715 302-1364 with questions or to make an offer.”

The red body could be a DJ body, given the DJ-like speedometer, rather than a CJ-2A body. It might explain its good condition.
“This auction is for two Jeep Willys flat fender jeeps with many many extra parts. The red has a three speen with the overdrive unit and drive shafts and a late model tilt steering column. It turns very easy. The body is not too bad on this one and the black inteior is very nice. The green one is complete with the pto set up. The motor turns over and the last owner says it ran great when parked. There are many many extra parts included. I will provide bill of sales. No title. Unsure of years.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This was the seller’s father’s project who recently passed away.
“This Jeep is a 1948 Willys jeep, painted camo. It has a flathead four cylinder engine. This belonged to my dad who bought it planning to restore it, but he recently passed away. We are selling off some of his things. There is no top, just what you see in the picture. I think it ran when he parked it where it sits a couple of years ago. If you are looking for a four wheel drive project or parts for one here is a buy for you. We do not have a title for it. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The seller provides some good details.
“1957 NARROW TRACK. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR. HERE IS THE STORY—I BOUGHT THIS JEEP FOR PARTS BECAUSE I AM RESTORING TWO OTHER FC150’S. THE GUY TOLD ME IT RAN GOOD, IT WAS HIS DECEASED FATHERS. IT WAS SITTING OUTSIDE FOR 7 YEARS WHEN I LOOKED AT IT. I PUT SOME GAS IN IT AND A FRESH BATTERY AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP. WHEN I TIRED TO DRIVE IT ON THE TRAILER IT JUST KEPT LOCKING UP IN THE FRONT. HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW WHY. WELL I BROUGHT IT HOME AND STARTED TO MESS AROUND WITH IT . I DID NOT HAVE THE HEART TO PART IT OUT BECAUSE THE MOTOR RUNS SO GOOD. NO SMOKE EITHER. HE DID TELL ME THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AT SOME POINT IN ITS LIFE.
I TORE THE FRONT END APART AND FOUND THE RIGHT AXLE , RING & PINION, CARRIER ALL BROKEN. DON’T ASK ME WHY, BUT I REPAIRED IT ALL WITH N.O.S. PARTS. I PUT SOME NEW SEALS IN , REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE SHOES, LININGS, WHEEL CYLINDERS, ETC.—ALL GREASE & OIL LEVELS DRAINED AND RE-FILLED. I ALOS GOT NEW RUBBER BRAKE HOSES FRONT AND REAR. PLUS NEW STEEL LINES FRONT AND REAR & A RE-BUILT MASTER CYLINDER. WELL IT RUNS AND STOPS WELL…..”
UPDATE: Bill correctly notes that this is the same DJ-3A as pictured a few months ago, except that it has been painted and the price raised $100.
No motor. The body sure looks good. I don’t know what it takes to get this back over the border.
“Motorless Jeep style Mexican army vehicle. Papers are perfectly legal within Mexico borders. It used to work perfectly fine until its former owner took the engine to use it into another similar vehicle. It is a perfect project if you have the time, you’ll love to spend time with this relic. For further questions, you can reach me via this e-mail or by nextel: 152*14*24137, ask for Salvador.”

Here are pre paint images:
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
(12/08/2010) It’s got the camper option.
“v8-5 speed 4wd PTO with camper and cargo shell from the dealer. The mileage is unknown. Has tool box steps. Needs restoring will be a very rare jeep. i have a NC title with this or register without by age. In the movie “Hatari” John Wayne used one of these to haul a giraffe. Reserve is a modest 2500.00. Engine is there but not sure if it will run. 9 foot bed and 200% better visibility and the highest payload were the claims to fames on this vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(11/24/2010) Just a few updates to this CJ-2A. This appears to have a MB/GPW windshield.
“New Paint, Custom Pipe Bumpers Front & Rear & 8,000 lb Warn Winch. Everything works…current inspection and registration! Start it up and drive it home or pull it with custom towbar! Any questions,”
UPDATE: Still Available
(10/19/2010) And it runs, too. Looks like a good price.

UPDATE: Jesse pointed out to me that the militarytrader article is actually a condensed version of a 9 page FC article that appeared in the October, 2001, issue number 87 of Military Vehicles Magazines (which is related to militarytrader.com). He also notes that Fred Williams, who’s FC is pictured below, has long since moved to California and works as an editor for 4 WHEEL & OFFROAD Magazine. So, it appears the editors did a quick editing of the original article and decided not to add any updated links.
However, I still believe that the editors are amiss not to include the FC Connection link in the resources and to point out that this is a condensed version of an original article. I believe their readers would benefit from this information.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
It needs seats at the very least.
“1950 WILLYS CJ3; Best offer or trade;”
No pics. This appears to be a very early CJ-6 (#35).
“First production year CJ6, one of 2224 from 56. Bought this as a trail rig project, but don’t have the heart to tear it apart. Stock F head/T-90/model 18(twin stick). Motor runs but needs flooding carb repaired/replaced ( have replacement carb should be on this week). This was a eastern Oregon/Washington rig, and that is reflected in the lack of rust. Bench seat needs recovered, but is in it. Front floor pans are clean (both follr pan supports have about 3-5″ of rust through, and rear pan is clean, but saggy in places (this was a farm truck), tool box seems to be clean. Rear gate is dented, and gate frame is cracked, both front fenders are dented. PO had welded reinforcement stock on front horns. Has a Ramsey front PTO, and shaft, but no winch. Also has a Koenig half cab steel hard top, with doors. Top has had about 5 inches of weld repair performed ( to driver side windshield mount, and both driver and pass side rain channels) and has some surface rust, but no cancer. Doors are sliding window models, and are both missing bottom hinges, and are in need of latch repair. Neat old rig, vin # ends in 10035, I believe this to mean it was #35 off the line, when production of the 6 started in late 55′. Will not have a title in my hand for a week or two, but thought I would put some feelers out, and see if there was any interest from someone who would restore it. Pics avail upon request.”
Steve is looking for some rims.
“Looking for one or two 16 x 5 inch willys rims. Have some 15 inchers and 16×4.5 inchers to trade. Shipping is expensive so hopefully we can meet some where in the midwest.”
