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 $1000
“1949 Willys Jeep project. Partially disassembled. Grandfather left it to me, but I have far too many projects right now. Has flat head four and twin lever transfer case. Has some patch panels and will need some body work, but how many 60 year old jeeps don’t? My grandfather had it running off a boat gas tank when he first bought it before he got cancer, but said that the carb needed rebuilding. Would make a good project. $1000 obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks like a good truck for the price.

“I am looking for a jeep cj2a or cj3a tub with a title. Send me pictures and a price and I will get back to you.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay.
(06/20/2010) This jeep has some character. Note the image that shows ‘the relief hold’, which used to be the gas tank inlet.
“This is a very cool old willys with a neat history. This 53 Willys Jeep Cj3B was restored 15 years ago and used as a pace car and push start vehicle for cloverleaf speedway till it was shut down. It has cool vintage paint with hand drawn pin-striping, with some weather checking for that old school rat rod look. I have tried to keep it as original as possible, and still make a capable 4×4 wheeling vehicle out of it. Here’s a quick break down of it:
Solid frame, no major rust and most of it still has paint on it! Body has no rust showing, but has had bondo and fiberglass repair in the past. It is solid, but not a show truck! Front and rear tow points already attached …”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $600.
(06/24/2010) This looks stock and needs some work.
“All original . Continetal 4 cyl engine rebuilt but gets hot. Has usual rust. needs some TLC Would make a great project to restore or rock crawler. Has no top. would trade for 1969 camero to restore..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800

This may have a Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear.
“It runs and drives has a soft top the motor is a 350 Chevy it has a 400 turbo auto tranny the running gear has been up graded to a CJ5 the paint is in great shape, this is a nice project for the self restore”
This looks in pretty good shape, though I suspect there’s some rust underneath.

Here are a couple jeeps for sale. The purple CJ appears to have a replacement body.
“ALMOST 2 JEEPS $4500.00: 1946 CJ-2A Licensed and titled with almost a second in additional parts.
I?m finally admitting I don?t have the time to continue with my project so I?m selling both of my Jeep projects.
The first Jeep is licensed and titled; it has an assigned title from the State of Colorado, and is running. The engine smokes a lot (rings) but otherwise runs quite well. This has very good high back buckets and new tires on aftermarket rims. Original 3 Speed with Twin Stick Transfer Case and a Original Warn Overdrive and Manual Hubs. No Top, and the body has quite a bit of rust. The brakes work but should be gone through before it?s driven on the road. It has some gauges and the speedometer but aren’t not hooked up.
The second Jeep is also a 46-2A that is almost complete but has no engine. This one has a rebuilt (Mile High Jeep Rebuilders) Transmission and Twin Stick Transfer Case, original Jeep Seat Frames and a much better body. The floor has been replaced and is on its rolling chassis with original 16? Jeep Wheels. This one also has manual hubs but again no Top. There is no title on this one. Additionally, there are some loose/spare parts, an extra windshield frame and a Good Jeep Rebuilders Manual. Additional photos are available.”
UPDATE: Pics provided. A reader has this for sale.
This has updated brakes and an overdrive.
“Running driving 1946cj2a,has overdrive,roll bar,turn signals,runs great no smoke,New bumper,brake lines,master cylinder,has 11 inch brakes,turn signals.original seats has 29k miles..must sell…”

This is a bit high for a project and it is very much a project still.
“hey all. we are raising money for my sons special education costs. so up for sale is our 1946 willys jeep. i bought this about 6 years ago, drove it for approx 80 miles, found the traditional floor rust and promptly pulled it into the garage and started stripping it down. long story short, there is now a brand new tub, primered and ready to paint/install, frame has been undercoated, engine and trans/ pto have been pulled/new gasket kits installed/and put back together, new wiring harness and frame brake lines are ready to go in, as well as a lot of other work thats been done. i know ill never get my time out of it, and currently i have over 5800.00 into it, it is an easy project to finish, so if youre interested in this complete original willys, let me know. thanx. dave.”

For a jeep with a serial number of 11672, this looks decidedly non VEC ish. It’s certainly not totally stock for that vintage. However, it is a nice looking rebuild.
“1945 Willy’s CJ-2A Civilian Jeep Universal. SN. 11672.This unit is totally stock with the original “Go-Devil” L-Head 4 cylinder 60 HP engine and associated transmission and differentials. The only items that have been upgraded are a full 12V electrical system with battery, starter, alternator, wiring, and all lights and gauges. The windshield wipers have been converted from vacuum to electric for just a bit more dependability. The unit has only recently been completed and even includes a new (only installed and put on twice) Best top and doors. This is an all steel, and, I think, it is all original steel, body. The body was removed from the chasse and all necessary maintenance was performed. The floors are the original and show no signs of rust including the compartment under the passenger seat. Both the underside and the top of the full floor have been stripped down and Rhino Hide coated. The wheels are perfect and carry a new full set of five 600X16 non-directional tread tires. The seats have been redone with the proper upholstery both front and rear. I have had this unit on the highway for a 120 mile round trip at fifty miles per hour and had absolutely no problems.”
I suspect this isn’t a ’41.
“1941 Jeep Willys MB; New Head; New Brakes; Dual Exhaust; Micro Lock Brakes; Rancho Overdrive; Converted to 12 Volt; Warn Winch with controls available for an extra $500; Please call to view 415 850 2021 Pat or 415 716 0232Wally;”

“I still have it if the ad is still posted. This is a 51 Willys CJ3 with an F-head motor. Motor, transmission, transfer case and axles were all rebuilt before I got it. New brakes, hardware, and master cylinder were also installed as well as a new carburetor. The engine has not been started. It has lots of new parts. I don’t have the time for it any more and I want my garage back.”
I *think* this runs, too.

(06/25/2010) It’s a project.
“This posting is for my 1946 jeep willys cj 2a.I bought tihs jeep about 4 years ago as a fun project and never finished it but is almost there.It has a 50s modle cj 3b motor in it and it runs fine.The new things are the wiring harness,steering box,windsheild gaskets minus the glass and gas tank.The rear floor has been replaced with dimond plate and I have fliped the axles to give it a moderate lift about 4 in.This jeep would be perfect for that hunting cabin,offroad,or just to cruise around town in.The brakes are all there but dont work I think they just need to bee hooked up.

A reader named Steve had some questions about which I didn’t have answers:
He asked me to post two questions for two different projects:
1) What would be the easiest/best/smartest engine swap for an F134 in a 1947 W-O Truck?
2) What chassis swaps are recommended to modernize a 1952 W-O Station Wagon?
Thanks!
