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: Price dropped to $1750.
(07/30/2021) This may actually be a CJ-3A? The body is fiberglass.

“Collection of parts to build a 1953 Willy’s cj3b. Fiberglass tub, frame, axles. I have the transmission case but am missing internals. Complete transfer case, pto drive. Radiator, No motor.
Only body part missing is a hood. Also have the title.”
Could use some new paint.

“1948 Willys Delivery 350 Chevrolet with demon carb TH 350 trans mustang front end. Ford rear end.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
(02/25/2022) Sounds like it may run, but needs a tune up.
“Selling the coolest thing ever!
A Willys Jeep M170 combat Ambulance from 1962. Jeep is in original condition and could benefit from a time up. Comes with original canvas top (needs some patching) and door panels. Has siren, shovel, and axe. Has passenger seat from M38 Jeep. Also has a military trailer (photo coming) that hooks up to it.
My young family is expanding and as much as I want to keep this, my family needs a more modern family friendly vehicle more. Ah, decisions!
Will need to trailer or tow away.”
I ran across this magazine on eBay. Given the cover, I couldn’t resist buying it, though there was no other jeep pics or illustrations within it.
Could be worth a look.

(02/20/2022) The body looks in great shape. The custom console under the dash seems a nice fit (though probably not easy to get to given it is behind the shifters).

“Very nice finished Willys with newer Buick overdrive V-6 Detroit locker rear end with floater kit, 11 inch brakes. 4×4 lifted with tight suspension. Tow bar connector under front bumper. Solid straight body and undercarrige. Newer seat also has good floors and tub. This rig really likes to go fishing. Clean title $12,000 Plains Mt.”
This looks in good shape. Is that a heater blower on the dash? I don’t recognize it. The green windshield piece on the interior must be a defroster?
https://prescott.craigslist.org/cto/d/prescott-1946-willys-jeep/7459071200.html
“1946 CJ2A Willys Jeep. Buick V6, runs good. Lots of work done and recent parts. Very nice best top and doors.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
While I doubt this served during the Korean War (which ended in mid-1953 .. see G503 discussion), this is the USMC version (Note the rings at the ends of the rear bumper) .
“1953 Jeep M38A1. Built for the USMC. Served in the Korean Conflict. Recently invested 5k (receipts available). All new brakes, fuel system, and hand wrapped wiring loom. Unique and collectable. Body is rough. Clear CA title. Serious inquiries only!”
Seller will sell for less without hardtop.
https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/denver-1948-willys-cj2a-with-hardtop/7452444722.html
“1948 willys Jeep CJ2a Flat fender with clean title, 1961 215 all aluminum Buick V8 swapped in with dual exhaust, was told it drove 2 years ago, motor turns free. new older tires still with nubs. Hard top and doors from newer CJ3b ? home made adapters to fill side area around windshield and tub. Aftermarket heater, Brakes don’t work, no fluid. no seats,early 60’s GM column, probably same Buick as engine.
great project for the right person, tub is in good shape for the age, drive floor patched, firewall was cut up for engine swap. Looks like all original sheet metal, extra trans and transfer case. $2800 as is Clean title
Has tow bar so it can be flat towed. but hard top and front clip only has a few bolts holding them on.
willys with out hard top and doors $2200
may sell hard top and doors separate, some glass broke $1300”
There are no doors, but the top looks in good shape.
https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/pts/d/hemet-hard-top-cj2a/7455612419.html
“I am selling an original Koenig hardtop that came as original equipment on a 1946 CJ2A. This hardtop is in excellent condition, no rust or dents or past repairs. Even contains the original padding/insulation on the roof. All the glass is perfect and they open as if new. The only negative about this top is the color but of course can be repainted. I do not have the doors. It should be noted that the jeep is not for sale, only the hardtop.”
This might be a good parts wagon (or possibly a good project). It’s got an early set of Free-Lock hubs.

“1947 Jeep Willys · Other_body_style · Driven 43,250 miles 1947 WILLYS Jeep Tow bar Top and doors Runs great. OBO”
Listed as a 1943, this jeep has a CJ-2A grille and a DJ-3A windshield. It lacks an engine.
https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/atq/d/las-vegas-1943-willies-war-military/7458852091.html
“Motors are everywear. Crated. New. What a great project in great condition for its year. Have title yes amazing ask if interested. 1943 world War Willie’s. Wow,”
Mike spotted this classic Fresno-modded jeep. The Muller top, the side doors, the upgraded engine, and more are common among jeeps with Fresno mods.
https://fresno.craigslist.org/cto/d/fresno-1953-m38a1-willys-jeep/7457895956.html
“’53 Willys M38-A1 Military Gunner Jeep. This model has the highly desired heavy duty turret frame because they were often used with a tripod mounted 50 caliber machine gun.
This Jeep now sports a ’69 Chevy 327 V-8 engine w/overdrive, 4-stick shifts (4-speed, 2wd-4wd, Hi-Lo, Overdrive), power steering, power brakes, Warn Locking hubs all around so you can tow it free-wheeling. Two Heaters. An extra external radiator fan. Two gas tanks. All new wiring harness. New Brake Lights, seat belts, modern fuse box built into custom glove box.
Also includes soft side windows & doors, roll bars, tow bar, trailer hitch.
Front winch & wipers are not hooked up.”
UPDATE: Frank explained the sprayer on the side of the jeep: The sprayer in question is termed a back pump sprayer. The wildland Firefighters used this type of back pump on mop up of forest fires. The can could carry 5 gallons of water. Later came the rubber type back pump to mop up forest fires. The rigid pump was awkward when bending over spraying water and even when empty it was awkward. The rubber type back pump was like walking with 5 gallons of Jello on your back. When spraying, you used one of your fingers over the nozzle to disperse the water to cover more area. Short pieces of used cotton jacketed hose was often used on the shoulder straps on the rigid type pumps to relieve some of the “torment” to your shoulders. Both of these style pumps had nicknames that are not printable at this time.
If you are looking for a mid-1960s CJ-5, this might be a good value. It includes a 120volt mod and something on the side (water?).

“1942 original Jeep Willys was in the second war first prototype for the Air Force. The engine was rebuilding.”
Appears worth a look.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
This has some old school updates. Some, like the tail lights, doors, and fender flares, are similar to some of the Fresno jeep mods.
“I have a 1943 Ford GPW for sale. It has the original gpw chassis and tub but the grill and hood are from a cj3a. The seats are from a Chevrolet car and sit on custom fabricated frames. The gas tank has been moved to the back to sit under the tub. It comes with a Chevy 152 engine which has 90hp and 152 lb ft of torque. Nice little 4 cyclinder engine, starts up first crank and runs smooth. The transmission is a T90 and needs to be rebuilt. Right now the third gear synchro is broken and second gear grinds. It come with a really nice roll cage, set of doors that lock, and a rear seat. The price is $6500 OBO. I paid $7500 for it, and was hoping to throw a new tranny in her and have some fun. But I’ve been busy and just don’t have time to work on it.”
Mark spotted this GPW with an updated engine (chevy??).
https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/charlottesville-jeep-willys-ford-gpw/7457472700.html
“945 Ford GPW WWII Jeep unrestored in very good shape. Frame and body in good condition. Starts and runs great. This jeep can be driven as is or would be a good restoration project. I just drove it around town and to Home Depot for fun. The jeep spent most of it’s life in California before I had it shipped to Indiana. Recent carburetor rebuild, tune-up, new locking front hubs, radiator flush, oil change and misc. maintenance done. Prior owner swapped out the original 4 cylinder engine with one with more HP. Jeep has a top speed of 55mph vs 40-45mph. Clean Indiana title.”
Looks in good shape.

“1948 Jeep CJ-2A flat fender Willys. Upgraded Buick V6 with overdrive installed, does cruise 60+ mph no problem. A ton of new parts including new wiring/brakes/tires.
