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 .
Roberto Flores recently completed a story of the lineage of the jeep that was published at French magazine “4×4 Story Spécial Jeep“, issue 35. Great drawing and thanks for sharing it with us.

It is a project still.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
(12/29/2010) There might be some value here. It looks like it has a MB or GPW body along with a Bobcat fiberglass hood. It almost looks like an old racer.
“For sale is my very good running 1953 Jeep CJ3A. The jeep starts, runs, shifts and drives well. It has a early 1970’s Buick V-6 engine installed. Saginaw power steering box installed. 1953 was the last year of the CJ3A before they went to the high hood model. The 4 wheel drive works but the hubs are sticking and need to be taken off and cleaned. The Jeep has some rust here and there but nothing that can not be fixed. It has an aftermarket fiberglass hood that needs a couple hours of glass work for two very minor cracks. Has a hydraulic brake lock device installed for stopping on steep grades. Needs headlights installed. Very nice roll bar. Clean title in hand. Feel free to come take it for a test drive. FREE DELIVERY WITHIN 30 MILES (Except to the islands or Canada). PLEASE – SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. I do not have the spare time to waste on flakes and jokers. $750 OBO”

(11/22/2010) I think this has a great old-school feel to it with some practical upgrades.
“Old school custom runs great drives great looks great. I’ve never seen another one like it. The best and most fun Jeep I’ve ever owned. Dauntless V6 with headers and welded mufflers.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(11/16/2010) This might not be a bad price.
“1949 jeep willys good shape manual and twin sticks with the over drive option has 33in tires and a 283 v8 out of a 57 corvette needs battery and rear u-bolt replaced.”
UPDATE: Price bumped to $3150
(04/13/2009) This reminds me of the very first jeep my parents purchased for me when I graduated high school, except it’s in nicer condition (not that the condition of this looks all that nice). The color and the cage was similar.

Jeremy discovered just the project he was hoping to find. Congrats! You can see he has already recruited an enthusiastic assistant!
Jeremy writes, I “Found this on eWillys.com – was listed as a 1942 GPW. Sent my wife down yesterday and got it today. Turns out to be a 1943, but the frame and engine match – I am really happy with this jeep. Lots of original parts and the owner James was super nice. James was insistant that he sell the jeep as a whole unit to someone who will restore it rather than part it out. I guess he just had to wait for the right buyer. Looking forward to a long restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This is a real classic,early 40’s jeep with a Jeep-a-trench,nobody around here has never seen one,I turn the engine over by hand,the estate it came from he trenched there water lines, all the levers work.I think it is really unusally.The only other on e-bay is $5500 without the jeep it is very rare.Thank you I have drop the price $500 will also consider offers this is for sale.I am droping the price another $500.Thank you”
HOG spotted this funny buy.
“Ran out of Elbow Grease during that difficult project? Can’t get that lugnut off your wheel? Is that engine block just too darn heavy for your to pick up on your own? KaleCoAuto’s Elbow Grease is the perfect solution for you! Made from high quality synthetic materials, KaleCoAuto’s Elbow Grease is matched is without a peer!

UPDATE: **SOLD**
Brett reports that this seller has two projects for sale:
1. **SOLD** Price is $1800. Old Willys jeep with steel shell, engine rebuilt, new tires, carburetor, one of Dad’s many unfinished projects, worth the time to look,”
2. **SOLD** Price was $1500
“Old style jeep, minus windshield, engine complete rebuild, new carb, new tires, shocks, nice red paint. Dad is gone and this is one of his many unfinished projects.”
Brett spotted this fine. It looks pretty solid. I’m not sure if this runs or not. It doesn’t seem as complete as the seller believes. Maybe there are parts in a box somewhere?
“1947 Willys CJ-2A. Solid jeep, great starting point for restoration, or finish the wiring, add some seat cushions and use it as is. I’ve restored a couple of the WWII era military jeeps (MB & GPW) over the years. This was going to be my first CJ restoration, but my current work schedule isn’t going to allow time for it.
You don’t find many this complete and unmolested anymore. Check out the photos and feel free to call or email with any questions. Thanks! Chris (801) 831-0741”

Brett forward this ad. There’s some value here.
“1953 Willys project jeep with motor and transmission”
http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=13982029&cat=&lpid=&search=willys
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
This looks in good shape.
“This is a 1952 USMC M38 Willy’s Jeep. I got this jeep about 1 year ago. I love driving it I have put some work in to it and was trying to FULLY restore it. I can no longer work on it due to my vision. She runs like a dream and she always makes heads turn.
Only things needed to be done to it is break stems need to be replaced, bleeding the brakes and minor carburetor work. I will throw in all the parts I have bought for it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
Price is negotiable and it runs. It does have back California taxes. May be a deal.
“1967 Jeep CJ5A— I am moving and I don’t want to haul this to my new home. Help me stop my wife’s nagging! I am going to keep this simple. This is an awesome CJ5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV. In great shape! There we not many of these built. It is mostly original. This is a project that I have stopped working on. I repeat..this is a Project that runs. Here are the negatives:
-It is unregistered. It has Past Due Registration Fees in the range of $305.00.
-It runs but I have not driven it for 2 years.
Here are the positives.
-It is priced to sell. Anyone could turn this vehicle for a profit if they complete the work I have started. I will have this vehicle towed to any Santa Rosa Address at my expense.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
‘This might be a solid jeep.
“This jeep is awsome just started and drove it around the house today. this Willys or CJ2a has the 4 cyl flat head that runs great! the transfer and transmission also are in good shape. reverse and all gears are good. The 4×4 even works good. im telling you this is an awsome jeep As far as what i have done includes completely sanded down and painted, complete brake overhaul (new master cylinder hubs, rotors, lines) the carborator has been completely rebuilt as well, there is a brand new factory gas tank to. all fluids have been changed. oil pressure gauge work and temperature. The body is in good shape. and the floor boards are good not rusted out. I do have the title and its clean. all it needs is tail lights to be street legal. if you have any questions or want to set up a test drive please dont hesitate to call thanks”
This has a rear PTO. This might be a good price.
“Runs, has PTO in back bumper. Ford straight 6 motor.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
An upside down steering wheel is never a good sign!
“1946 Willys CJ2A for sale; Flathead, 4 cylinder motor in good condition; Drive train also in good condition; Body rough; Runs well but will need a replacement gas tank; $1200 obo;”
This looks very nice.
“For sale 1959 Willys FC-150 Forward Control Jeep, Has a flat head 4 cylinder engine, odometer shows 20K on it and the motor I think was rebulit at one ponit in time runs perfect.

The body is supposed to be solid.
“body is solid would make a good project. used to drive it around the farm REALLY FUN TOY!! if interested call jesse 434-808-5571”
http://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/2162715724.html
