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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
(08/19/2010) Looks solid.
“46 Willys Jeep CJ 2A Supper sonic flat head jeep 6 cylinder engine. 95 per cent restored. Metal top available.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
(10/25/2010) This has the 3 data plates, so it’s a pre #46000ish CJ-2A. The driver’s side has seen a major repair. It also has a rear PTO.
“Runs good looks good–1946–Willys- cj2a,first civilian jeep,has 4-wheel drive pto,with winch and heater,also it has title ID. is correct”
A while back, Tom told me his dad has stories from WWII about flipping Jeeps on their side to work on them. After some digging, he managed to locate this for our viewing pleasure. Many Thanks Tom! See some other tipped jeeps here.
Hog spotted this one. It has already reached over $900!
“AL TOY WILLYS JEEP OVERLAND WOODY WAGON. This lovely toy is in overall very good condition it has been played with so does have some paint chips and the roof paintwork is scuffed up. The rear bumper is broken but I do have the piece (i did it taking it of the shelf sorry). I am not sure if the hubcaps are original it is the way it was when i bought it. Decals are in good condition as are the wipers and door handles. I love the feel of this toy it must weigh about six pounds there is great history if you google “toy jeepster”.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400
Here’s a project.
“1951 Willy’s and 85 four-cylinder automatic transmission to front clips all the military tags and title $400 OBO.”
SOLD
“This is a rare barn find! It’s not often you find one of these untouched military jeeps. You are bidding on a 1944 GPW with matching engine and frame numbers. No data tags. Jeep comes with bill of sale only. Although the body is rough, this is a great restoration project. Many original parts are still on the jeep such as spare tire carrier and support bracket. You can still see the original seat cushions (horse hair)along with seat covers on the back seat and driver seat. The jeep sits on four original combat wheels which I believe are still mounted to the original tires. Original hood numbers are visible under the flaking blue paint (will try to uncover the complete number in the morning) All three original Ford seats are still on the jeep. Original script bolts hold the body handles in place. I am putting this jeep up for sale in as found condition; Engine, tranny along with all mechanical components have not been tested but appear to be damage free. Since the jeep is sold as is, I recommend that all interested parties ask all questions and do all their research before placing a bid. For our mutual protection I will except offers through ebay for our mutual protection but please do not wait until the end of the auction to make offers. I will consider any rare jeep parts such as slat grill parts, GP parts etc. as patial trade toward the jeep as I have many other projects. A $1000 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.

The frame has already been cleaned up. This might be decent price depending on how bad the rust is.

*This has rust and is not in restorable shape* It has been my daily driver for over 9 months. I have recieved about 4 calls and the first question being asked is “Does the tub have rust”. Please consider the cost of the parts included which is well above what I am asking for this fun old willys. Thanks.
This was my daily driver until the electrical went out. In the process of replacing the solenoid, coil and distributor the old 6 volt starter went out. New Solex carb, distributor, coil, solenoid, tie rod set, front knuckle seals, tranny seals, transfer seals, front and rear diff seals, spark plug wires, clutch bell crank kit, brake pedal, clutch cross shaft and new master cylinder. Also included are 4 new shackles with LH and RH thread to replace the “redneck’ lift. A set of new 4 Ubolts for the rear axle. There is a new set of front 8 leaf springs which were supposed to be rear ones but Crown sent the wrong ones. I wanted to change out the wrong rear springs. Radiator needs to be patched driver’s side bottom and a new choke cable along with the starter problem.”

Brett spotted this M-38A1. This looks solid, though it could use some dash work.

Here’s an East Coast FC.
“1961 Willys FC 150 stakebody truck with 4 cyl. F head engine, 3 spd. trans., and 6 lug (disc brake front) rears. I don’t know the make of the rears or the ratio, but they are way higher than 538s. The engine is completely stock original and starts and runs good. No smoke. Needs the valves adjusted. The truck is driveable around the yard, but needs a master cylinder and brake hoses if you keep these rears. Lights, horn, and wipers work. I think I have stock rears if you want to restore. The cab is good condition for coming from Penna. Dash uncut and complete, drivers floor has had some repair, passenger floor needs repair, engine cover good. No rust around rain gutter, front corners some dents, rear corners need repair, but not that bad. Doors straight, but rust at bottoms. Winshield good, small wiper blade scratch in upper left corner. Back glass, vent glass good, plexaglass in both doors. Bed complete and straight, but rust in stake pockets. Stakes all there, one slightly bent, one rusted at bottom. Wood under bed is all there in good shape, gas tank is good, and rear weight is still there. I bought this rare little truck to restore because I thought it would be a reasonably easy one to complete, plus it was un-cut and all there. I have another FC ahead of this one to restore,have recently bought a MCI motorhome conversion, and a diesel Scout, so i’m letting this project go. Call 302-381-0959 with any questions, and I will do my best to answer them.”
It looks like the driver’s side body has been cut out a bit.
“1942 Willys Jeep MB 4X4; 6 volt system; Mostly original with some replacement parts through the years as needed. Rear body reworked 6 years ago; Soft top has a couple of rips; Has not been started in 2 years but shouldn’t need much to get it running.
Garaged for 30 years; Great for around farm; Questions? Reply to email listed or call Peter at 603-828-8050.”

The price is pretty high for a none running project, but this looks like it could restore pretty well.
“1949 Willys Jeepster, only built for 3 years, new mexico vehicle so it is very solid, odometer reads 43,000, it has a ford V-6 in it, it is supposidly a running vehicle but it has not ever been tried since my dad has owned it (2 years) he bought it out of New Mexico brought it home and hasn’t had time for the project due to medical issues. so now it is for sale. if you have any questions please call Larry 847-343-1934”

(10/21/2010) Here’s an early Slattie.
“This is a 1942 Willys Slat Grill MB. Its a project I bought years ago and has been sitting in collection mode ever since. Meaning I have been accumulating the parts to restore her. I decided I wasn’t likely to get to this project or my #277 45 CJ so I’m letting them go. The 45 is gone so here goes the Slatty. I’m selling it just as I bought it with the exception of it now has the original slat grill on it as when I bought it someone had put a stamped MB grill on it. Guess they thought it looked better. The serial number of the slat is 112200 and the body tag and frame tag both match. The 3 tags are still on the dash but one has a small piece cut out of it for some unknown reason.The engine SN is MB219002 which I believe is a later motor. I’ve never tried to start it, but the motor turns freely. The transmission is original with the right hand fill and I believe the transfer case is original as well. The transmission and transfer case are stuck in gear as it sat outside for many years before I bought it. I’ve never tried to free them up or look at them. The drive shafts are disconnected so you can move it. I believe the spare tire carrier is correct. It has the “gas” gage and the 30 amp meter. The key switch is still there with the key. The windshield frame is rock solid. The hood has a round hole cut in it. It does have the riveted “slat grill” oil pan. The frame is good. It has one of the 2 hinge tool box lids in place with the lock. The drivers seat is the original split back rail but the pan has been opened up for the larger filler. Take a look at the pictures and if you have any questions just ask. If it doesn’t sell I’m going to spend a few hours on it and see if I can get it running and driving….”
