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: Was $2500. **Status Unknown**
It’s not totally stock, but it sure looks nice for the price.
“Titled as a 1947 CJ. Ford 4cyl motor and 4 speed manual transmission. Full aluminum Meyers top and doors. Bucket seats in front, rear jumpseat, rollbar, heater. Runs great, crack in windshield glass. Fuel pump is a little weak as it loses prime if not started for a few weeks. Fun vehicle. Take the top off and flip the windshield down in the summer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This might clean up pretty well, but you’ll need another engine.
“A nice piece of Jeep history. The first Jeep to be sold to the public after WWII.
Very original flat fender 4×4 jeep, Clean title. Needs a replacement L 134 (go devil) engine block. The Body is in very good shape, all rust has been replaced with new metal. Restored in late 80s. Good seats, No top. Break system is good. Would make a great weekend driver or trail rig.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
The body doesn’t look too bad, but the hood appears tweaked.
“It’s a 42 Willys Jeep with a 3.1 liter Buick V6 and it runs. Bill of sale only, no title.”
Here’s a great looking Jeepster.
“The car runs very well, and its easy to drive. The “3 on the tree” manual transmission shifts properly. Whether you’re heading to Margaritaville at 5 o’clock, or just out for a pleasure drive on a nice ragtop day, you’ll have no worries.
As far as condition, its good. The body is straight and the interior is in very, very good shape. The convertible top is also in very good shape, but it does not latch properly at the front. This isn’t ready to be a show car, but its a nice driver. We don’t know the actual mileage on the vehicle, but we’re betting its seen more smiles than miles.
It does have an AM/FM/Cassette radio, but the car doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles…oh wait…there IS a whistle: the “sexy girl” whistle sounds when you push a button on the dash.

(12/09/2008) I doubt there’s many MB parts left on this drag jeep.
“’42 Fiberglass Willys Flat Fender Sand Car, all Chromalloy frame and rollcage, Ford 9″ 5 on 5 1/2 40 spline axles, Willwood calipers and disc brakes on rear, 617 gear, adjustable QAR coil overshocks, 2-speed power glide magnum pro-grip shifter, Chrysler A-arm front end with coil over shocks, motor is Orange engine built 383 Chevy small block approx. 500 HP, AFR aluminum heads new 1150 Holley dominator carberator, gauges, front head lights, rear tail lights, new rear taunel cover, paint and body work is all 6 mos. old, 2 Kirkey driver and passenger seats, and much more.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(06/17/2009) If you can easily fix the wiring, then this could be a very good price. There’s some good value in the parts. I’m not sure what’s on the hood.
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A
1996 Fuel injected chevy 4.3 V6 mated to a SM420 4 speed transmission (the one with the huge granny gear) and a Dana 20 T-case. Newish (less that 3K miles) 35” BFG Krawlers. Front and rear axles are Dana 44’s with 4.56 gears and detroit lockers. Front is disc and rear is drum. Fully hydro steering with doubled ended, dual action cylinder. Early bronco coil suspension adapted over in the front with leaf sprung rear.
Now the bad….Squirrels got into the engine compartment and ate through the Painless wiring harness. They pretty much chewed through the main trunk that goes back to the computer. Not impossible to fix but I don’t have the time nor the inclination.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3999
(12/04/09) “This jeep has been fun while we owned it but the kids are ready for something they can drive. 1947 camo. color Runs and drives fine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
(04/26/2010) Dan spotted this Jeep, which appears to be a good price.
“Needs restored or part out, buyer moves vehicle, vehicle has canada transfer of owner papers. for more info plz”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/20/2010) This is a good looking truck.
“Powered by a 1965 Buick 300 V/8, 3speed trans, 15″ wheels, Restored about 7 years ago. If interested call Larry 360-263-4284.”

(01/12/10) “1947 Willy’s Jeep. Runs, has roll bar just powder coated. Have additional original thin wheels. Serious inquiries only please.”
I ran across this January 2010 review from Autoblog.com of the Icon CJ-3B yesterday. The author simply gushes over this vehicle, arguing that this vehicle really is worth $50,000 more than the $21,000 wrangler.
Here are some excerpts:
At this point we normally pose a question – something like, “Is the Icon CJ3B worth $50,000 more than a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon?” But here’s the thing, after a few hours of exposure to the CJ3B, it’s unquestionably worth the money. That’s right, we’re just going to start the review with the conclusion, then explain exactly why this little Icon is so darn special. And believe us, the CJ3B is exceptionally special.
Take Icon’s latest model, the all new CJ3B. Based off the 1953 Willys CJ3B (Icon amazingly holds the rights to the name), [head designer] Ward explains that the design ethos of the old Willys Jeeps was longevity, simplicity and utility. Not only does Ward appreciate these qualities, but he finds them “Sorely lacking from the current automotive industry.”
The EcoTec motor emits less pollutants during a full day of driving than a 1953 Willys CJ3B does just sitting and venting gasoline fumes. As Ward explained, Icon is such a low volume producer that they’re exempt from smog laws. They just happen to run O2 sensors and catalytic converters because they want to. Ward plans to eventually offer the CJ3B in not only a diesel version, but full electric as well.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This is an odd build. I wonder just how that top is attached.
‘hello i have a 1942 ford jeep, has its orig gpw motor , run and drives , have pink slip in hand , is non opt .. call me at ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
I like this one. If it were closer ….. This appears to be an old club jeep with the rare windshield mod and some great old slot rims. It also has an updated column, probably power steering, and likely swing pedals. This might make a good foundation for an old school build.
“1947 Willys Jeep- set up for small block Chevy engine. No engine in it now. $1000.00 or best offer.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750.
Here’s a GPW with some matching numbers.
“1945 WWII MILITARY FORD GPW Jeep Matching Numbers Frame, Engine, and Data Tag on Glove Box. Has CJ T-90 Trans; Chevy steering; CJ Axles; Roll Bar; Tow Bar; Hubs and Best Top. Runs Great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
“1949 Jeep CJ3A, ran when parked. Grandfather used jeep on ranch, but has not been ran for six years. Original engine and drive train. Comes with Ramsey winch. Would make a great restoration or 4X4 project. Title has been lost & the vehicle does not have visible VIN numbers.”
Yes, it’s nicely restored CJ-2A day today. This is the best price yet.
“46 willys cj2a jeep,recent restoration,new top to bottom,runs drives and looks great. $5000, call 541 886 2006”

This looks pretty original. I can’t tell if there’s a little damage on the passenger side or not.

Only 7,700 miles and owned by a single family. Kind of funky bumpers.
“7,730 original miles. One-family owner! Meticulously maintained and in excellent condition. First year of CJ-5 production. Original engine.”
Here’s another good looking CJ-2A.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
(June 2009) This has been available since the summer. It appears this doesn’t have an engine facing cowl. If I understand the seller right, the bottom/floor of the body hasn’t been attached to the shell. This is probably a better option for someone who wants a racer or just needs the shell.
“Willys flat fender fiberglass jeep tub new never used. This is for the low hood model no holes and nothing has been cut the floor is still seperated. these sell new for around $2000 I’m taking a loss I just need it gone $800 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
I just found an earlier posting for this Jeep I had done last year. It was priced at $4600 in July 2009. So, the price has dropped quite a bit. It was listed as a 1952 at that time.
It appears someone has put some money into this build. It looks like it comes with a winch and nice cage. Replacing the brakes is a pretty cheap project. This might be a steal!
“This was confiscated in lieu of debt from an old friend in 2005. The last time it drove was 2006…from Minco to Bridgecreek. It drove GREAT…although it had and still has no brakes. It’s only been started two or three times since then. I’m not mechanically inclined enough (or at all) to get it running to sell for more. It definitely needs a new fuel pump, carbeurator cleaning, plugs, and new lines in and around both…as they spew fuel when running. I believe the gas tank to be the culprit for the fuel problems…its rusted out pretty good. New Tires, Winch, Motor Rebuilt in 2003. Please give me a holler if you’re truly interested. I encourage you to come take a look. I can get a hold of some more pictures if needed.”
This looks to be a great price if the motor can be fired up.
“This jeep has been sitting for about 12 years. The engine was rebuilt then and we never used it. Looking to get what I can for it so give me a call or mail me back and we will talk about it. $2200 OBO Thanks for looking 719-357-0630.”
