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 $4900
This appears in good shape.
“1946 Willys CJ2A Asking $4,900. This Jeep is in great shape. Please take a look at the attached photo I can e-mail more if you are interested.”
It looks like this has had some hard use.

This looks pretty solid. Too bad someone dropped the F-Head in it.
“1951 Willys CJ Military Flat-Fender Jeep. The engines out of a 1955 CJ 5. 100 Miles on engine. New tires. Body is in overall good condition. Any questions call 605-649-1020”
There is a little body work, but might not be too bad.

“1953 M38A1 WILLY JEEP. GREAT RUNNING JEEP. GREAT FOR FOUR WHEELIN AND HUNTING. ASKIN 350O OR BEST OFFER.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1150. Additional pics added.

http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1780042928.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
It’s unclear if this runs or not. It appears to have a few dings, but might not have much rust.
“im selling my 1951 willys wagon, in great condition with spare parts, extra doors, etc. asking $3800 obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This looks like a nice truck.

Runs and drives great. Leaks a little oil. Gets a lot of attention. 4 cylinder flat head, 3 speed, 4 wheel drive. Very rare in this condition at this price. NEED to sell”
Brett spotted this one. It runs and has a rollcage. Looks like a good deal.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $250
This was originally for sale back in June. At that time it included fenders, but was priced higher. The tub itself looks great on the outside.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $$7500.
(06/04/2010) This looks like a good price for a restored FC.
“FRESH OFF THE FARM!! RARE!! 1958 Jeep FC170 4×4, 226 6 cyl, Forward Control (Cab over) runs good, good body, no rust, painted frame. Has dump box, front winch and 8′ plow.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(05/05/2010) This looks in good shape. There’s an interesting lining of some type along the rear wheel well.
“1947 Willys Jeep 4 cylinder, runs fine. $3000 firm. Located in Dayton PA.”
I’ve been in the garage all evening swapping leaves on my rear springs to get the rear end to sit at the right height. After several swaps I finally got the body to a level spot. Whew.
I was on my way to Jalopy Jungle (got some new springs — but that write-up must wait) in Nampa when I passed by this CJ-5 sitting outside an auto salvage shop in Meridian. As soon as I saw it, I made a quick u-turn and snapped some pics. The CJ-5 itself appears in stock condition with a solid body and no engine. There was no for sale sign and am not sure what it being done to it.
The rear seat itself it something I’ve never seen. The tail gate still works and there is storage area under the back seat.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
“OK. Here is the situation. We had this Jeep sold twice before but the buyers backed out. The reason is because we can’t find the title and the registration doesn’t match with the MVD records. The new owner would have to do an abandoned vehicle search and get a new title that way. We do not have the time to research all of this so we are willing to let it go at a cheaper price. This Jeeps blue book value is over $6000.
1946 Willy’s CJ2A Jeep. All original with added top. 6 volt system. Flathead 4-cylinder. RARE 3 speed on the column shifter. Original seat frames included. 16 in wheels. Been in the same family it’s entire life, 3rd owner in family. Spare tire. We started it a few days ago and drove it around but it does need a little TLC. More pictures available. Price is $2200.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
This includes a PTO Winch. It’s dusty, but this looks like a good restoration candidate.
“1952 Willys CJ-3A – bone stock and in great shape. I bought this to do a frame off restoration, since it is 100% original – still even has the foot rod starter. The L4 flathead engine runs, but smokes a bit.
Still the original 6V, has the PTO winch, Harrison heater, and has a solid body with with minimal rust. Had a hardtop on it, so the floors are very good. Clear title. Stored in my garage”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
This looks solid and straight.
“1949 Willys Jeep. It’s all original, it has 3 speed transmission and is 4 wheel drive. Due to it’s age, it is being sold AS IS with no warranties. It also comes with a clean and clear title, and is currently tagged and inspected. It has a rear main seal leak that needs to be fixed, but it still runs good. We had a blast in it last summer, just riding the back roads and enjoying life.I’m going to miss it, but I have too many cars & horses, and something has to go! Give us a holler and you can check it out.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900
“This is a very solid jeep rebuilt as a navy flight line jeep. While registered as a 1946 many components are CJ3A. Starts & runs good – upgraded to 8 Volt system; Good brakes; T-90 tranny is strong; New glass & upholstery. Making room for a new project. More photos upon request.”
At JpZombie.com, Casey has uploaded 20 images from the late 40s / early 50s. Several of the images have also been loaded at the earlycj5.com website and a thread has popped up around them. A video was also uploaded (see below) that shows early color footage of the Yakima Ridge Runners (from Yakima, Washington) playing in what appears to be the Little Naches River and shows them traveling over the Naches Trail (you can also see video excerpts from Exploration Northwest which discusses the trail).
Below is a small version of one of the pics at JpZombie. In this pic, you can see on the sign ‘Wally Klingele’, who was one of the founding members of the Ridge Runners. Some of the pics at JpZombie appear to be pics capturing the Life Magazine Folks who put together these classic videos (ridge runner video 1 & ridge runner video 2).

Doug suggested I do a search at Youtube on “Willys Jeep Tracks”. I found two interesting videos.
In this video, a CJ-2A is fitted with tracks, one track on each side.
In this video, a jeep wrangler is fitted with tracks on each wheel
Thanks to Dave (Hog) for pointing out this unusual item — Jeep Tea cups. First off, the price on these seems nuts –$9999 — seriously? Maybe I just don’t know the market for tea cups. Also, the seller claims these are WWII tea cups, but, based on the jeep, those are Korean War Cups at the earliest.
“World War II Porcellana Maua Jeep Tea Cups and Saucers. Owned by United States Rear Admiral Raymond Schneider who was stationed in Hawaii during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Mint condition.”
The 1/2 cab looks solid.
“Engine runs excellent. Drivetrain in good cond. Body is a little rough. Metal 1/2 cab. 31” mud tires. call for more info. 1-208-8 four 2- 24 six 1″

It’s a project, but the body appears solid.
