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 article and photo was published in the September 25th, 1943, issue of the Calgary Herald.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Has an unusual roll bar set up. Appears worth a look.
“1946 Willys CJ2a. It may not look pretty but it runs well. It has new tires, wiring, gauges, clutch and throw out bearing, brakes and brake lines and hoses. The steering box has been rebuilt, and a new battery, plugs wires, points and dist. cap. Radiator has been cleaned and new fluid. New brake lights and working turn signals. It has a refurbished windshield wiper motor, and new windshield glass along with many other new parts too numerous to list. The engine is a L -134 flathead. It is currently tagged and insured with a clean N.C. title”
Not a bad price given the amount of work that’s been done. Still, it’s only a 2WD vehicle. It does have a good looking Kelly hardtop.

“$1,850 – Or Best Offer
For a 75-year-old trailer, this one is in pretty excellent shape. This is either a 1946 or 1947 Bantam T3-C 1/4 ton trailer. I’ve owned it for a couple of years now, with the intention to turn it into a overland like trailer.
I have an extra set of rims with military style tires, but all these tires need to be replaced, the rubber is pretty old on these. All the rims are in inner tube style rim as well. The bolt pattern is 5×5.5″ with a hub opening of a hair over 4.75.”

The only description is “rum”. Does it run on “rum”? Do you need “rum” to drive it?

“Very solid body good running gear just has been stored for years”
I snagged one of these 1956 Willys Export Wagon Brochures Form W-253-6X from eBay.
Craig shared this 1957 Swedish Fire Truck for sale ion Germany. It looks in great shape. The price is just over $19,000.
https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html
Roughly translated from German:
A very rare treasure. Forget all the assistance systems and all the other bells and whistles that today’s cars have.
This is pure driving!
Swedish Willys truck from 1957 with 3.6 liter Super Hurricane 6-cylinder engine.
An old master mechanic did a lot on the car in just under 100 hours.
Main work: The front was converted to disc brakes with a conversion kit from kaiserwillys.com from America. That’s why 17 inch rims from a Dodge Ram are now fitted. The rims were turned out to match and powder-coated in black.”
The description indicates this body will fit a CJ-7 chassis.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1984806521679181
“Designed to fit a Wrangler and/or CJ7”
This modified CJ-2A is listed as a 1949, but has an early grille.
https://ithaca.craigslist.org/cto/d/spencer-1949-willys-cj2a-for-sale/7395460491.html

“1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2A

(05/07/2016) Looks like this has a Boston Top.

“1940’s Jeep w/plow, starts runs plows, NO title, NO brakes, off road only. Rare aluminum full cab. Jeep is rough and rusty.”
Might be worth a look.

“Off a 1951 M 38 Military Jeep. Will fit others. All Aluminum except front windshield frame. It had a canvas rear window panel, long gone.”
Ann and I spent a night up at Leavenworth on Thursday. While walking the cold, wet streets (it isn’t snowing there quite yet), we found ourselves warming up by entering various shops (big mistake, as we found ourselves buying stuff). However, one of the cooler items I found was this t-shirt with a “hockey stick” wagon on it. If you like light, cotton/polyester blend shirt, this is a nice one. However, I had to go X-Large as the Large fit perfectly, but likely would have shrunk.
The shirts are available online, so check them out here: https://moorecollection.com/products/willy-wagon-tee-dusty-blue?_pos=2&_sid=a0494a1b3&_ss=r
At least they had the Christmas lights up! Crowds were light, so that was perfect for us.
This is a rare matchbook cover of an early jeep pulling logs with a chain. The matchbook was for the Kansas Willys-Overland, INC, dealership.

” 46 willys Jeep’s one is running but needs work the second is pretty rough $2800.00
No title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
I don’t recognize this fiberglass body. The floor style is unlike any I have seen. It looks nicely designed, with a wider-than-stock rear brim for additional style and strength. It looks to have a Buick V-6 with headers and, possibly, an Edelbrock intake.
“1946 Willy Tk project. Has a fiberglass body. $2500 obo. Title in hand”
