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 $1200
(04/25/2010) This needs some parts or will make a part’s jeep.
“
i have a 1947 willys cj2a have title . has no brakes and wont go in to gear (clutch problem) . i does start and run”
This looks like a nice build.
‘1947 Willys CJ2A, 302 V8, C4 Automatic Transmission, 2″ lift, Warn Overdrive, ProBillit Dist, B&M Shifter, GM Alternator (new) 3wire, New Paint / bushings, Lined interior, New VDO Gauges, Painless Wiring (new), Custom Fuel Cell, Custom Bumpers, Battery Cell, LED Lights, New Tires and wheels. This has been a fun vehicle but it is time to move to the next project. When I started with this vehicle, it was nice… I just couldn’t leave it alone. We pulled the body, blasted it to the metal, and filled/welded all of the holes and removed any rust. I replaced the front fenders with new, built and installed a fuel cell, added new glass and rubber, shocks (rancho), tires, wheels, paint, wiring, powdercoating, etc. On and on and on. With the overdrive, highway speeds can be maintained. Please call with any questions. Thanks for looking. Matt 559.906.2089.”

Dan spotted this unusual CJ-5. This jeep is for the lover of skulls! I didn’t know they made green tops like this?

The sellers are interested in selling, but aren’t in a hurry due to the wagon’s location.
“We have a ’59 Jeep Wagon we would like to sell. This vehicle has less than 60K original miles. It is only used in the summer, when cabin is accessible, and is garaged all winter. We are trying to decide to sell vehicle up there, or haul it to the Bay Area and try to sell it for more. Vehicle has a clear title and has always been registered in CA. It is equipped with 6 cyl. flathead engine. It has been used for short 4-wheel trips in the area. the body is no cherry, NO major rust, just scrapes from hidden boulders, one rear fender dented pretty good, also has a couple broken windows, (glass is broken, not broken out, make sense?). Interior is in real good shape for its age. Vehicle is road worthy, however I would recommend trailering long distances. Has top speed of about 55-60 mph. Right now we’re looking for potential buyers, vehicle is not accessible at this time, Cabin will be opened Memorial Day weekend or weekend after. email offers please be reasonable.These are the only pics I can find for now. More can be made available in the next couple weeks I’m sure. Please be in no rush, as we don’t get up to the area often and transaction will have to be arranged in advance. I hope you understand.”

I’m pretty sure that price isn’t the real price.

This seems to be a blend of MB and CJ-2A parts.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1350.
I believe this comes with an engine and radiator, but they are not installed.
“This jeep comes with a newly rebuilt 6 cylinder flathead engine and a new radiator. The jeep comes “as is” – no title. $1,350.00 takes everything. More pictures available.”
UPDATE: WAs $4000. **SOLD**
Only 15hp? That’s a pretty low estimate.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A, 4 Cyl, 15 HP. Great shape! Runs well!”
UPDATE: This Jeep owner is liquidating his jeeps (about 15 of them).
(01/26/2010) “Willys jeeps for sale….call with needs or project requests. I am liquidating and selling approx. 15 of them. All stages of rust and repair. 1946-1963 Lots of parts also! 231 five one zero zero nine one one Phone calls only please. Matt”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(02/16/2010) It runs and drives. If you need a run-about jeep, this might fit the bill.
“59 willys cj-5 . 4 cyl. 3 spd. motor has been rebuilt. Do not know how long ago or miles on motor but it runs excellent. Brakes were also done with a new master cylinder. Rebuilt steering box also. Good set of radial snow tires. Front floor pans need replaced or use as is like I do. This is not a perfect rig but runs and drives good. All the running gear is good. No top. $ 1500.00 FIRM.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/27/2010) It could use some wheels.
“no motor,complete running gear,solid floors,sides,no title,mild lift,good project,249-0360”

I suspect this does not have an overhead cam and it certainly is not all original for the year. Brett called on this and the seller mentioned the engine does smoke. The body appears solid.
“1949 Willy’s Jeep 1.34 engine with overhead camshaft everything is orginal for the year, but not necassariy for this particular Jeep. runs good, but burns oil, transmission slips out of second.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
(05/04/2010) I think I’d swap on a different windshield, otherwise, this looks like a build ready for some trails. The tires and rims have to be worth a good chunk of money.
“1952 Willys M38A1, Ford 2.0 motor swap, full roll cage, brand new 32×9.0 Super Swampers Tsl, Hardtop with doors, comes with spare axles, drivelines and tranny, transfercase. be willing to trade 67 or earlier vw bus. Call Ryan

A student from Mississippi State University named Cliff contacted me yesterday. He’s in the Aerospace program and also employed at the Raspet Flight Research Lab. The lab owns and operates the M-38 Fire Jeep shown below. They have a problem with their jeep and need some help.
According to Cliff, the M-38 had developed a knock (after being loaned out temporarily), so Cliff and another co-worker tore the engine apart during some down time recently.
Cliff writes, “Here comes the bad news, once we got the motor on the stand and pulled the rod caps we find that the rod bearings on the 3rd and 4th cylinders have ground in to nothing, which was thought to be the case when a ton of metal shavings were found in the oil pan. The motor is not original to the jeep, it had been replaced in ’88 with an F-head and a hole cut in the hood to accommodate it, and seems to be a rebuilt engine because the crank has already been turned once. So here is the dilemma. The lab is low on money and is not wanting to pay a lot for repairs but many of us here would like to save the jeep from the scrap yard and return it to its duties as our fire truck. So I am here to ask for your help in saving this Jeep, we are in need of a new crank and badly need a new wiring harness and am asking for donations on these parts but am also willing to trade the entire F-head motor(which other then needing a new crank is in great shape) for a L-head motor.”
I responded to Cliff to see if I can get a little more information about this project and what else they might need (for example, bearings, seals, etc) to get this running again.
Unless someone wants to contact Cliff themselves (I’ll be happy to forward an addy) and provide assistance (maybe you live close or graduated from the Mississippi State or for some other reason), I will be happy to organize some help for Cliff and his project.
Here are some pics of the jeep before disassembly:

Bob indicates this is probably sold.
“Selling a dana 18 tcase and warn overdrive from my willys. Everything is in great working order. The warn overdrive is 6 spline and shifts cleanly.
