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: Still Available
(03/08/2010) This sports an unusual paint stripe.
“This is a 1942 Ford GPW that is in good running condition. The body has a minimal amount of rust and is in very good shape. If you have any questions please email me at cofc2004@gmail.com”

(03/02/2010) “1948 willys jeep could be a daily driver with alittle work. no top, 2 seats only”
http://eastco.craigslist.org/cto/1713975151.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(11/18/09) The Vin number would make this produced in 1948. This looks like a nice rebuilt.
“ I am selling my CJ2A. This has been recently restored. Body was removed and repainted. Color is maroon. Black undercoat on the body to help prevent rust. Restoration did not include mechanical. Vehicle had a partial 12V conversion when I got it. It now has all new wiring. All lights work. Added turn signals and brake lights. Horn works. Starter is 12V. It uses a borg warner 6V coil; but could easily be changed to 12V coil. Jeep would be street legal if you add the windshield; the seals for the windshield are included in sale. It didn’t need the motor or drivetrain rebuilt. Although I did paint the engine and rebuild the carburator. New gauges except for speedo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
On a trip to Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho, Dan discovered this unusual project. Underneath all the modifications is a 1943 GPW. What’s amazing to me is that, all things considered, it doesn’t look all that bad. Someone certainly cobbled together a variety of vehicles, along with a healthy supply of diamond plating to keep this vehicle on the road. No doubt it was better than sporting a soft top in cold weather.
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Price was $1200.
I wonder if this has a rear PTO, too. It’s not ALL original, but there might be enough original to make it worth it. It runs, too.
“1945 Willy’s Jeep. All original and runs good. Thanks for looking. Email me if interested.”
This needs a little more work (not sure what).
“1957 JEEP WILLY”S powered by a 289 ford, New radiator and electric fan.4.88 gears Locked up in the rear with dic’s breaks all around, sky jacker lift! sitting on 33 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw about 85% tread left.

” 1948 Willys Jeep. Runs Great – looks great – Selling because I need to make room in our garage and I’m not using it. The only thing that needs some attention is to track
down what’s draining the battery and passenger side windsheild wiper.”
The engine is supposed to be new with only 500 miles on it …
“1947 willys has upgrades in steering box, 2 inch lift, front and rear lockers, lockable hubs all four tires, tow hitch, front disc brakes, brand new solex carb, brand new engine with 500 miles, rebuilt tranny. bed liner. back seat. needs couple gauges to complete. black paint with silver trim. i live in vernal thanks. email is best. jhweberconstruction@hotmail.com”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(10/26/09) I’m guessing it’s a CJ-3A, however the body appears to have a solid back, so it might be a DJ-3A body? The seller has included a long description.
“This is a 1940 or early 50’s Jeep Willys. I’m not sure because this jeep is registered as a 1967 due to the year of the motor. The motor is a Chevy 283 V8 from a 67’ Chevelle. This Jeep is full of goodies and will always be smog exempt ”
These look like a nice set of run-about tires.
“Wheels and tires off my 57 Willys Jeep CJ 5. Heavy duty would make a great replacement or back up set for yours. The wheels are in good shape and the tires have full tread remaining on them. Email if interested.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750
(04/27/2010) It looks like it needs some glass.
“1952 Jeep Willys. Manual Transmission. 4 cylinder engine. 4×4. Runs Great. Drove from Downers Grove To Oswego last year. Project jeep or leave as is and show. Please no calls before 8am or after 9pm. Thanks.”

Dan spotted this. I can’t say if the seller is accurate about the rarity or not.
“Up for sale is a very rare Jeep Gladiator. The vehicle was made in 1969 and then was issued a vin number in 1970 before kaiser sold to AMC. This vehicle has a very rare 350 V8 Buick motor with an automatic, they only made the vehicle with an automatic for one year with these motor options. This has a true four wheel drive running gear, with dana 60 lockers, that have been gone thru and serviced. Currenlty the vehicle needs the rear glas put in the door panels put on and the bed to be bolted back on, it used to have a flat bed on it.as well as the gas tank to be put back in. It is still on the trailer and can be delivered if need be. Like I said this vehicle does run that is how i got it on the trailer, I have the title in hand with new plates as well. You can call me at 509 768 8255 thanx Josh”

UPDATE: Price now $5000
(10/28/2009) This includes a large pile of parts as well (spread out in the back yard it appears).

http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/1761514575.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3995
(05/18/2010) This looks great. It appears to sport a replacement body. Not a bad price.
“1948 Willys CJ2A runs drives and stops. New brakes and lines 5 years ago; aftermarket steel tub, hood and tailgate, no rust on the body, original windshield. I do not know the mileage but have a clear Wisconsin title for it. I think it is an MB frame. I have used it as a toy on my farmette near Monroe, Wi. It starts up every spring but I just use it to drive locally. The tires are new, non directional with less than 100 miles on them. The pics were taken before the new tires. I bought it from a guy in northern Wi who painted it with a brush but it looks pretty good anyway. I have a new steering wheel and correct passenger seat frame for it, just not installed. Don’t need to sell but also don’t need the toy”
UPDATE: SOLD*** Was priced at $3000
(03/30/2010) Here’s another Tx Hunter.
“1944 Willys Jeep Marine Corps Issue w/ Title. New: -Motor -Transmission -Transfer case
-Brakes -Exhaust -Battery -Also includes removable raised rear hunting seats w/ rollbar.”
UPDATE: Was $15,000. **SOLD**
A reader named John is selling this nicely restored MB.
“1945 Willys 1/4T reconnaissance truck, JEEP, delivered to the military 3-7-45 and recently completed a tub-off restoration. All restoration work correct to original specs with primarilly original NOS parts and professional rebuilds of the motor, drivetrain, axles, diffs, tranny and TC. Era correct top quality canvas and rubber throughout and every detail of the restoration process was documented in scores of digital pics. Over $14000 in parts and services alone with receipts available. This Willys is a classic example of a combat jeep in the ETO circa. early ’45. ”
In order to keep costs as low as possible, Cliff and the folks down at Mississippi State University have decided to rebuild the F-head that currently powers the M-38 FireJeep they have. One of the important items they need is a replacement F-head/L-head crankshaft.
If you have one that is in good shape that you’d like to donate to the cause, let me know.
Thanks,
– Dave
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Dave spotted this wagon. It looks like a pretty good updated build. My question is, why not move the wagon so you don’t have a chain link fence covering half the pic?

Just in time for some summer surfin, Roberto shares this older illustration of a CJ-3A sporting a surfboard with us. Thanks Roberto!
I wouldn’t mind getting some more shots of this 1958 Civil Defense M-38A1 from the South Plattsburgh Fire Department out of Plattsburgh, NY. This unit serves as their brush truck and currently carries 80 gallons of water, chain saw, hand tools and a booster reel supplied by a 30 gpm pump belt driven off the prime mover engine.
There might be some value here. That’s an unusual hood on the GPW (likely fiberglass).
