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 looks like a straight, solid body.
“Project vehicle waiting for you to complete (as it was for me). It has 4.3 V6, 4 wheel drive running gear. Glen @ 520-260-8176 call or text”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
This appears to be a good price given all the work and the new canvas.
“Made up to look like an Army Jeep. All brakes redone, master and wheel cylinders, pads, lines hoses. Wheel bearings and seals bushings and shocks. Good exhaust. Wiring redone, all new gauges. Good seats, Like new Army top and frame work, made by Beachwood canvas . Runs and drives good. Body rough but usable, Jeep still needs work but lots of work has been done. $1900 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300
(05/25/2010) The body appears in good condition, but hard to tell from this far away pic.
“I have a 1947 CJ-2A with a later DJ style body on it. It has the L-134 flathead motor, along with an upgraded Solex carb that many people swapped on to these engines. Has new carb rebuild kit, new spark plugs, new points, new electric fuel pump, new fuel lines, and about 80% left on some 31″ mud terrains. The bad news is a blown head gasket, however if you’ve ever seen one of these engines, it is probably the easiest thing to replace on a Willy’s, and despite this it will still drive around town, just not very far down the highway. It has some dents and dings, but verry little bad rust anywhere. Great for around the ranch or around town.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay.
This is interesting because it is being sold by the Department of Corrections of Colorado.
“Ready to be restored, minimal rust, body solid. Vehicle runs, hard to start, any known mechanical problems are noted; if none are noted, none were identified when the vehicle was turned in. Vehicle has: minimal body damage, dents and dings, minor rust and peeling; NO EMISSIONS, must be registered outside AIR counties or sold to dealer; DR 2023, no brakes, unsafe to drive; tread: average wear, ~ 50 % remaining; pitted windshield; vinyl cloth seat, metal floor.”
A lot of work needed to turn this into a runner.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A; Has snow plow frame and pump. Not running but would make a great restoration project of an old classic farm jeep. If interested please e-mail or call 845-229-6797.”

“It’s all there, but needs a motor. It ran and drove about a month ago, but I took the motor out to build a Willys M38A1. I just don’t need it. The body needs floor work, but is some what solid. Also comes with a Hard top with doors. I will trade for WWII Jeep Ford GPW parts. I need a body tub for a WWII Jeep, transmission T84, and brackets. I have lots more Jeeps for sale.”
I’m sorry to say that I experienced a death recently, a close friend with whom I have shared close calls and turbulent times. While my friend was there most times, there were times that this friend was nowhere to be found. For this reason, I don’t wholly miss my friend. In fact, though I buried my friend, rather than entombing my friend 6ft under ground, my friend is entombed in my computer bag.
Yes, my Samsung Instinct died; Or more accurately, I put him to death. He was behaving badly over the last week, so I punished his disloyalty by purchasing a new phone with a new provider — a Samsung Captivate with the Andriod OS with AT&T. So, though my old friend is gone and buried, he is not missed … not in the slightest.
With my new phone, I can now text again, dial phone numbers, surf the web and even download APPS. Oh happy days!
Since I am now back in the age of modern phones, I felt it was time to implement a ‘mobile edition’ of eWillys. For now, it is simply a mobile browser addition, meaning it is a little friendlier for the phone — at least it is on my android phone.

Kevin painted his wagon with some unusual help …
Kevin writes, “I Finally got good help on my ’62 Willys Wagon rebuild…it didn’t hurt either to wear my “Big Daddy Roth” – Rat Fink t-shirt for inspirational artistic talents…and yes, in tradition of an old time build, I’m painting it outdoors.”
The serial number suggests this is a ’59 rather than a ’71 or ’72 (http://www.jeeptech.com/models/cj-5.htm).
“1971 OR 72 JEEP WITH A PLOW AND TRENCHER. THE TRENCHER IS MADE BY JEEP A TRENCH GEAR HYDROLIC MODEL GW103 SERIAL #2817. THE PLOW AND TRENCHER IS IS GREAT SHAPE AND WORKS GOOD. THE JEEP IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, #5754897216, WILLYS CJ5, TIRE TREAD IS FAIR. THE MOTOR HAS JUST BEEN REBUILT AND IS A 134 F HEAD. THIS IS ALL FACOTRY AND HAS BEEN REPAINTED. NO RUST SPOTS OR MAJOR DENTS.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
Lots of work has been completed, but plenty left. No mention of how the seller has identified this as a M-606.
“1966 Jeep CJ3B. This is a very rare military version classified as an M606 with factory 225 V6. Chassis has been completely redone. Everything has been powder coated and rebuilt. Factory rear Dana 44 with newer open knuckle Dana 30 front. Front and rear have 4.27 gears. Rear has a power lock. Front has a Detroit locker. All new bearings and seals. Transmission and transfer case have been completely rebuilt. Brand new Center Force clutch. All new suspension. Brand new power steering box. 225 V6 has been rebuilt. Brand new starter, alternator, headers, and misc. Brake and clutch assembly has been modified to a hanging pedal assembly. Also has a hydraulic clutch, PTO winch, brand new seats, plus boxes of brand new parts. Body has been media blasted. NEEDS TO BE PAINTED AND FINAL ASSEMBLY. Also has brand new tires and many other brand new parts. This is an extremely rare Jeep. It is a military version of a 3B but does not have any of the Willy’s stampings on body because it was built after Willy’s was sold out.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
This might be a good price. It runs.
“1946 Willy’s for sale. Has been garaged for the last 5 years. Four cylinder motor-will run, but needs some love. Have not had it running for about a year and a half. Body is in ok shape, but needs some help as well to get back to original form. Differentials and T-Case all work, and transmission shifts smoothly. Serious offers/inquiries only. Please let me know if you have specific questions regarding the vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $6500.
It isn’t a perfect restoration, but looks nice for the price.
“1942 SCRIP FORD CALLED SCRIP FORD BECAUSE FORD IS WRITTEN OUT ON THE BACK OF IT.FORD MADE JEEPS FOR THE WAR EFFORD TO THE SPECS OF WILLYS. THEY PUT THEIR NAME ON THEM AS DID WILLYS UNTILL THE ARMY DECIDED IT DID NOT WANT ANY COMMERICAL LETTERING ON THEM, AT THAT TIME THEY PROHIBED COMPANIES FROM DOING THIS. FORD HAD MADE ABOUT 17000 UP UNTILL THEN. I HAVE REWIRED THE JEEP CHANGED IT OVER TO 12 VOLTS,IT HAS A SOLEX CARB, HAS AN ELECTRONIC DISTRIBOR [NO POINTS] I HAVE THE ORIGINAL CARB AND DISTRIBTOR FOR IT. FRONT SEATS ARE ORIGINAL REAR IS NOT, LOTS OF THINGS AND HISTORY TOO MUCH TO INCLUDE HERE , JEEP IS 98 PERCENT RUST FREE”
I suspect this seller knows little about this. This might be picked up for less.
