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 .
This might make a good project if the engine is ready for assembly. The Az weather has probably preserved the boy pretty well.
“great resto project. engine was machined by napa, needs to be assembled. seats need recovering. will make an awesome crawler or hunting jeep. have title on hand. call 928-627-2407 after 6pm. or email.”

This is a real nice rig with custom suspension and more. You can’t build it for that price. If I remember correctly, the previous owner sold it after building a new jeep. I believe the front end was stretched 12 inches as well. I remember that because I was curious about how far to stretch my front clip, so i saved an image of it, which you can see at the very bottom.

Here’s an image of the same jeep 2 years earlier.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
“I have a 1954 CJ3B jeep for sale. It is in parts, not a running jeep. Does not include motor, trans, or transfer case. I have two frames, the stock frame and a 1992 YJ rolling frame that I was going to install under this jeep. The body is not too bad, it has some rust through on the floor under the gas tank, it’s not very bad and very much so repairable. This would make a fun rebuild/restoration project or a parts jeep.”
UPDATE: An eWillys reader snagged this deal! Was listed at $900.
(04/11/2010) It runs.
“1956 cj6, 4 cyl.runs.needs work.for sale or trade for farm eqpt of equal value such as rotiller,three point disk,grain drill or what have you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s an interesting find. This builder installed a Mercruiser 470 4 cyl aluminum engine into his project jeep. I’d never heard of doing this, so I did some research and found this thread on HAMB that provides all kinds of details about converting this boat motor to a vehicle motor. I’ve emailed the seller of this to learn more, as the motor is just the kind of strange thing I’d like to install into Biscuit if everything checks out.
“Too many projects, so this one has to go. It is a 1957 Willys CJ5. It has an aluminum block Mercruiser 470 4 cylinder motor and a 4spd transmission. It has a Dana 44 front axle and a Dana 60 rear axle. It comes with an original hard top with doors as well as a tow bar. The syncro for the reverse has gone out in it, but that is a fairly easy fix for anyone with some mechanical aptitude. It has a new battery and a fresh rebuilt Carter AFB carb. The tires shown are not the tires that come with it, as those are actually my brothers. Asking $1,500 but will consider reasonable offers. I just don’t have a place to finish it like I want to, so I’m looking for a good home for it. I have a clean and clear idaho title for it. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $25,000.
It looks good. Dana 60s seem a bit of an overkill for a Buick V6.
“Jeep “Custom” from the ground up! Dana 60s front and Rear, ARB Air Locker up front, Power Lock in rear High Pinion with 4:56 gears, 18 gallon heavy duty rear gas tank with bilt in skid plate, Spring over suspension, Buick 231 Even Fire V6, T98 Granny Gear 4 Speed, Dana 20 Transfercase with 3 to 1 gears and factory Twin Stick Shifters, Warn Winch, Goodyear MTR Wranger Tires 35 x 1250 X 15, Best Top New, Half Top and Doors, Matching Jeep Trailer, Lots of fun”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Unclear what new parts come with it.
“1945MB willys jeep partly restored lots new parts call”
UPDATE: This has likely sold. Was listed at $250.
This looks like a good price.
“For sale is one 47 CJ2 parts car,Rolling chassie no engine or trans-transfer case.Has wheels, axles,gauges,radiator,new half floors in front. Needs drive train ,brakes,inner windshield,wireing. $250.00 Cash”
This is still a project, but now sports a fiberglass body and rebuilt engine.
“1951 Willys for Sale. This Willys restoration is nearly finished and includes a FIBERGLASS BODY,, rebuilt engine and complete restoration. Includes original Willys flat head 4 cylinder and original drive train. The Willys is 4 wheel drive. Finishing touches to make this complete include mounting hood, riser for hood and engine diagnosis (has not been started after engine rebuild). Great project for the winter! Thanks for looking! Bob (484) 433-0065.”

UPDATE: **SOLD*** to an eWillys reader.
(05/31/09) Looks nice enough.
“Willys 1946 CJ2A, rare early, column shift, excellent condition, mechanically sound, body needs paint, everything works, fun to drive.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $2800
(01/04/2011) This might be a nice rig for the price.
“this is a mostly orginal willys jeep, has been updated to 12V, has rebiult engine great heater and newly recovered seats, new soft top, new root beer brown purle paint, 32×11.50 tires. runs and drives great.”
I’m not sure if $800 takes everything or not.
“I have a stock 47 Willys jeep I’m parting out. Front end rear end, 3speed tranny twin stick T-case with PTO, 8000lbs PTO winch, F head motor & all the drive lines for the jeep & PTO. motor runs needs carb work. tranny works but pops out of 2nd when you let off the gas pretty minor stuff for the age. Can start motor for now but getting ready to take it out. possible part trade for a electric winch with cash on your end not interested in any other trades. $800 for all VIA E-MAIL ( JEEP IS NOT FOR SALE)”

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $700.
This appears solid. Might be a good parts wagon.
“
1953 willlys wagon project. Not running. Includes extra parts”
UPDATE: Still Available
(08/01/2010) This is an unusual jeep. How about those two mini roll bars on each rear wheel well …
“’41 Willys Jeep MB, has ’48 “F” head 4cyl with standard 3 spd. Gas tank has been moved to the rear between the frame rails. Has electric fuel pump with reg. . Many parts replaced or updated, to many parts to list. VERY FUN JEEP . Extras: * another ’48 “F” head engine * automatic trany with overdrive * Two sets of wheels and tires”

Blaine found this unusual pedal kart from Berg Toys with a little bit of Jeep influence that is on the parentsupermarket.com website.
During out last snow storm, Pete got out in his wagon. You can check out the video below (or visit his Old Willys Forum here).
Here’s a great old image of a transport truck Blaine spotted. He saw it at Just-a-car-guys website. I also found another image there as well.
Robert spotted this deal. This runs and has a plow. Looks like a great price.
“runs good, rusty fuel tank leaks, plow works good. transfer case is good front ring and pinion gear needs to be worked on. 952-994-7406 cell# add’l photo’s available.”

Bob pointed out a discussion regarding a 1962 CJ-5 for sale on eBay. You can see the original post about this jeep at the CJ-2A page.
The original ebay ad text is shown below. After a few days, the story was changed and you can view the new version of the ad here: View the ad here
“Hello, Ive listed this jeep on here before it always came within $500.00 of the reserve but never sold. So I have lowered the reserve price hoping that it will go to a new home! Ok, Heres what i know about the Jeep It was bought by an retired Gen. back in 1962. He bought it new becauseHe thought it was the Idenacal Jeep that (Patton) was killed in duing the war! Now this has been disputed here in the last couple of days! When I pulled it up on a Google search it did say that he was killed in a cj-5 Jeep? But who really knows? Ive had several e-mails that totally agree with this and some dont.Im only 48 so I dont know? Anyway He later died and it went from collector to collector. When I purchased it here in Fl. My daughter was Just sixteen working on the beach. She could never get the hang of the shifting so I took it to a Jeep expert here in town and it started its three month change over to an automatic. I still have all of the original rear end, three speep trans. clutch and the presure plate. Also I have the gear box and the drive line for the front axle. I left this out on purpose so that my daughter would not be tempted by going down on the beach with it. Anyway, after several months she was leaving work in the jeep and four men in their early twenties started commenting on the jeep and how they wanted it for themselves. So as she was pulling away from them they grabbed her and tried to pull her out of it to steal it! Luckily she had her seat belt on and they couldnt! Needless to say she ran one of them over and took off! After all of that she was pretty shook up so I bought her a new car to drive and the jeep has been sitting in storage ever since. And that was last Aug.15th. I have gone over and started it about every six weeks. The last time was this last week end. Ive been told by several people that this jeep is very rare and if put in the right place and person that it would bring up to $30,000. But im starting it at $12,000 and (No Reserve!) so what ever it bring is what it brings! I do know that it is alot of fun to drive and if taken care of it will last a long time! Please remember that it is 48 plus yrs. old! Good luck! and enjoy.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Brett spotted this nice jeep. It sure looks nice for the price. The front springs are reversed as expected. The updated rear springs seem to be pushing the rear axle forward a bit.
“This jeep is priced to sell. Great condition. Custom roll bar, four inch lift, original four cylinder, 31 inch brand new tires and rims, and BRAND NEW TOP. Must see. Note: 2nd owner, no highway miles first owner had it sitting in storage. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250
(10/02/2010) I’m not seeing the typical rust around the doors.
“1957 jeep fc150 forward control willys x cab truck 4×4, very rare truck, all there except motor and trans, perfect projest truck, is in very good condition or this year and so rare of a truck, you wont find another one this good.”
This is a project, but if the body is in good shape, it might make a good project.
“1969 Jeep Willis, clear title, runs great. We have all the parts to the jeep but a couple were taken off so that it could be primed. Jeep is in great shape. 985-969-1781 or 985-969-8341”
http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/cto/2141089396.html
UPDATE: This likely sold. Was listed at $1800.
The updates haven’t been kind to the value of this flattie. I’d like to see some pics of the ‘original Ford flathead’. And yes, there really is a town named Howey in the Hills, which seems appropriately placed along Little Lake Harris!
“This is a 1946 Willys Jeep. The goods. It has the original Ford Flat Head four cylider engine and a three speed transmission with a high and low gear (granny gear). The engine runs good and starts right up. It comes with many extra parts including two spare transmissions, a service manual and a clean Florida title. The bad. Needs brakes. It has some rust but it is a solid vehicle. I’ve owned it for two years and it has been kept in my garage.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
Though advertised as a 1953, this doesn’t look like a 1953 M-38A1. It’s either a combo jeep or a later model CJ-5.
“Old Willys Jeep Runs Great, 4X4 works Good, NO BRAKES, Needs restored or can be used as a hunting vehicle or Mud Buggy. Needs floorpan work, has patch panels in it now. A little rough around the edges but restorable, Would be a good conversation piece if you own an army surplus store I guess. Would consider trading for VW Beetle or Bus or any pre 1981 Car or truck, No tools, No Boats, No Motorcycles”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was on eBay.
The hydraulics on this are interesting, including the rear PTO shield.
“SELLING MY FARM JEEP WITH 12,000 ORIGINAL MILES. HAS FRONT PTO WINCH, HYDRAULICS FOR FRONT OR REAR TO USE FOR LOG SPLITTER, SNOW PLOW, REAR MOWER ETC. PURRS LIKE A KITTEN, TWO OF THE PICTURES SHOW THE PUMP UNDER THE HOOD AND PUSH PULL KNOB ON DASH FOR THE HYDRAULICS. HAS HAND THROTTLE WHEN USING THE PTO’S. I HAVE A FAIRLEAD FOR THE WINCH BUT WILL NEED REPAIRS ON IT. ABOUT ALL THE ELECTRICAL WORKS. FRAME IS NICE AS SEEN IN ONE OF THE PICTURES AND BODY HAS RUST BUT STILL HAS LOTS OF LIFE IN IT. LEAKS A LITTLE OIL, THATS ABOUT IT. I’M LOOKING FOR A POLARIS RANGER OR M151 MILITARY JEEP. IF YOU MAY HAVE ONE. I’M 40 MILES NORTH OF COLUMBUS, OHIO NEAR PROSPECT, 43342”
