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 .
It doesn’t look like it, but I think this runs. I also think it is a CJ-2A not a CJ-3A.

Mice have chewed the tires, engine has/had a knock.
“1946 willys jeep. Have had it for probly 20 years, used it to plow my driveway untill about 5 years ago when i got a new plow truck. Ran when i parked it but had a little knock. Mice have since chewed a few wires i think. Sold the plow off it. Good winter project. Has a PTO on back. MAKE AN OFFER. Trades?”
This needs work, but it isn’t a bad price.

Check out my new Hot Wheel Car; A reader named Frank sent this to me.
It is a project.
“I have a project I can’t finish and need to let go. It is a 56 Willys DJ3a with a good title. It looks like a 3A with out a tail gate. It has a complete body the tub needs a little work mostly front floors. It has a good windshield. The frame is mostly boxed with the spring hangers cut off at the moment. The front axle is a disc brake dana 30 from a 79 cj w/ 3:73 gears, the rear is the offset 44 it is torn down and has some of the parts for a full float disc set up, It has a dana 18 transfercase. I’m asking $500.00 for what I have come take a look or make offers on what you are interested in. I’m open to trades let me know what you have. I’m into most outdoors stuff and am working on a Scout 80 also.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
No engine.
“I have a 1949 Willys flat fender Jeep I’m looking to sell. The body is in pretty good shape, not a ton of rust. NO ENGINE, it has both axles, a transfer case for a AMC 304 V8, and transmission. This would be a great project vehicle, its what I had planned for it but I’m just not going to have the time or money anytime in the near future. The steering wheel and column works, it has an instrument cluster, no seats, there is a roll bar, headlights and tail lights are with it. I’m not posting a price because I’m really not sure what its worth. If interested please e-mail me. I’d be happy to answer any questions I can. I’m not a motorhead so if you have a technical question I probably wont be able to answer it. But I can answer any basic questions. I’ll consider all serious offers.”
Looks like a rolling chassis with no description.

“Looking for an old, reasonably priced plow that will fit/match my 1953 Willys CJ3B. I would like to use this to plow my driveway this winter. Thanks!”
Can’t tell much from the pic.
“Excellent original condition. Restored 1990. Garaged since.”

Needs work.
“working on getting motor unlocked”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
“got 2 of these, tub needs to be changed from one to other, motor seized up working on freeing up now. lots of pics of both jeeps”
This is the VEC. You can see column shifter and 3 data plates.
This is the later ’46. The back of this is pretty trashed.
No pics provided.
“1943 Ford Military Jeep 1/4 ton for sale. Good Title. Completely stripped down and ready for rebuild or parts. All parts available. Engine ran good when dismantled. Head has been milled. I thought it seemed like a great project, but I have started too many others. $500 Call 417-632-4257”
This has got a few issues.
“Selling my Willys!!! Don’t really want to, but it looks like I might be going to Afghanistan and would rather someone use it than have it sit in storage.
’46 VEC CJ2A #17477. Jeep runs and drives great but should still be considered a project. Needs a lot of little things but I drove it all summer without any issues. I stripped all of the bondo off of this Jeep that previous owners put on it so you can see what needs to be done. I have nothing to hide with this CJ and I hope someone gets as much fun out of it as I did. This thing’s been all over the San Juans and Moab and has been a great travel companion. This would be an excellent starting point for someone new to the old Jeeps as I located most of the hard-to-find parts and got the mechanical gremlins out already (knock on wood). If you buy it, I would also be willing to spend a day going through it with you and showing you everything that it needs.
Will consider partial trades for cool overland gear (ARB awning, engel fridge, RTT, GOOD lights, winches, etc). I have the title in hand and would be more than happy to put it in indoor storage for you until you can pick it up (storage is about $100/mo around here)….. Please no low-ball offers … give me a call at 9-0-7-3-4-7-2-3-6-6”

“1948 Classic Jeep Willys, very clean, candy apple red with pin stripes, always garaged – sacrifice – divorce settlement.”
http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/2072487165.html
This looks like a good project.
“1946 Willys Jeep Early model column shift. Barn find has 8K and change on engine and chassis. Last run in 1960. Body was removed and sand blasted very minimals rust. Some small dents and dings also some hole drilled for top which I welded shut. Tires are brand new Firestone military reproductions with zero miles. Engine had low compression on two cylinders and is pulled and on a stand awaiting freshening up. Gas tank has a pin hole and will need replacement. All original starter and generator as well as original air cleaner. Frame was pressure washed and painted with black tractor enamel. One new rim and both front and rear bumpers are new reproductions. Has an amatuer paint job. All i all a good candidate for resto or freshen up the motor and use as I was going to, just for dinkin around the lake. Am selling before completion as I have to many projects and less money to do them than I used to. Trying to pare down to one so I got a chance at completion. Will help with shipping any way I can. Also has the ND antique plate 46JEEP”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250

It ran when put away, motor turns fine. More photos available upon request.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2850.
(10/20/2010) This looks like a pretty good jeep. I wonder what the ‘project’ part entails.
“1949 willys jeep .Great project jeep. we have complete v6 with all the adapters to adapt to sm420 4 speed and the adapter to t18 transfer case. It has original 4 cylinder now ,needs head work to run. call for details. $2850.00”

“This 1950 Willys Jeepster Restomod is a very unique and beautiful ride. It has many modern improvements to make it more streetable and fun to drive in today’s traffic. It has over Double the Horsepower of the original engine with an Automatic Transmission, a modern Steering box, a Tilt Steering Wheel with Turn signals front and rear, and Four way Flashers. The steering is very smooth and easy; There is absolutely no need for power steering. It has been completely rewired 12 volt with a modern fuse block, headlight relays, a twelve volt headlight switch with a 12 volt instrument regulator and a 12 to 6 volt diode to run the original fuel gauge. A new set of Sunpro gauges have been installed in the dash to take care of monitoring the oil pressure, water temp, and voltage. Here is a list of what has been done to the car:
3.7 Liter Buick V-6 “oddfire engine” 150 horsepower Runs like new; never smokes, no leaks of any kind. Excellent gas mileage
New Pertronix Electronic Ignition with new NGK plugs and New Accel Super Stock Wires
New fuel pump and hard line from gas tank
New Chrome gas pedal with braided cable
New Chrome 100 amp Alternator and New 72 month battery
Crossflow radiator with Transmission cooler, flex fan, overflow tank, and a Chrome fan shroud. Engine always runs cool
ST-300 Super Turbo Automatic Transmission with shifter on steering column. Shifts smoothly with no issues or leaks of any kind
Custom installed rear axle from a 1967 Camaro. Again, no leaks, Smooth with no funny noises
New 15×7 American Racing Torque Thrust Wheels with New Cooper 235 75 Radial Tires, and Chrome Spline-style Tuner Lug Nuts with Socket

New Willwood Aluminum Tandem Brake Master Cylinders with a New Willwood Aluminum Brake Pedal assembly
New Brake hard lines everywhere with new Flex lines up front
New Slave Cylinders, riveted Brake Shoes and Hardware Front and Back
New inline switch for brake lights
Emergency brake cable is installed, but needs some tweaking. Although system is all new, it is still just manual drum brakes. I would upgrade to discs on the front in the future if it is driven hard
Custom installed heater from a modern Toyota 4 Runner. Works great and fan is very smooth and quiet
Hood has custom installed Gas Struts that open the hood automatically. No prop rod needed, and hood is much more stable
New internal safety catch for hood as well as new outside stainless hood safety latches
Hood also has custom installed Metal air vents borrowed from a 1967 Mustang Fastback
Signaltone air horns are very loud and work well, but will need an onboard air system to make them functional
New Header style Chrome side pipes with new aluminized hook up pipes and new flanges from manifolds. The Oddfire Engine has a great sound thru them
Convertible top is not new, but in decent shape It will need two outer catches that go on the top. the center catch works well and I had it transported that way with no problems; Just forgot to order the latches. They are about 40 dollars a piece brand new
Jeepster also has a red boot in nice condition, and a white roadster style full cover with a zip out center so driver can drive with the top down and stay warm with the heater going; Plus it just looks cool!
New cowl to hood rubber weather-strip and new windshield to vent window rubber weather-strip
Red upholstery is in very nice condition with matching side panels
New High Quality Viper Red Basecoat / Clearcoat paint with Black accents and House of Kolor Red Ice Pearl in the clear. Interior red paint is not new; Looks good, but is not perfect
Chassis was pressure washed while on a lift, then treated with a rust inhibiter / neutralizer, rinsed, then sprayed with Dominion Sure Seal Undercoating to protect the solid, original floors
Spare tire has the rare Hard Cover also done in Viper Red Basecoat / Clearcoat
New Side mount Antenna. Original AM radio front piece is installed in the dash, but there is no radio
Very nice Custom Aluminum Glove box insert behind the Chromed cover on right side of dash. Needs the ‘Jeepster’ script on the cover

New Windshield Wipers, but the vacuum motor has not been hooked up
Glass has all been replaced and is in very nice condition
New ignition switch, New outside rear View Mirror
New front floor mats”

Lap harness wind jamer top. Jeep needs exhaust and blead the brakes to drive on the road. Come hear it run and drive it $3500 OBO.”
A reader named Andy contacted me the other day about a flatfender that he purchased. He was told it was a former airport Jeep. Anyone recognize some of these mods? How about them rims!
Andy writes, “No data tags inside the body, but need to check the firewall tomorrow. The guy I bought the jeep from says that he saw another one with the same wheels on it at the hunting camp where he got this jeep …. There is some use of aluminum in this body, goes hand in hand with the airport shop mod theory …. It appears that the patches in the floors and sides were not really needed at the time they were done.. the body was still very sound in those areas. Looking in the wheel wells, you can see the original not rusted body covered by a layer of metal from the top. I think you may be right on the combination of manuf. top with some airport shop ‘extras’. Those doors sure are unique, I have not seen such before ..”
I found this image on the web at a fake webpage (on of those pages that aggregates a bunch of misc stuff in hopes of getting click throughs). It looks like a pretty cool build. Anyone ever seen it or know any history?
