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 $500
The half cab might be of interest to someone.
“63 Jeep Willys, Frame- Very good condition, Body- shot. TONS OF PARTS: radiator, gas tank, plow and pumps, many more… $500”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This has a front and rear PTO and is supposed to run great according to the post title.
“4cyl. 4speed, PTO winch in front and farm PTO in rear! Very little rust! Just needs fuel tank boiled and tires to be ready for the lease! Jeep is complete less the windshield frame.
Why spend thousands on asian plastic 4wheelers when for a lot less you can have American steel and a piece of history with this Korean era Army Jeep?”
UPDATE: Was $2900. **SOLD**
(05/18/2010) This might not be a bad deal given the new body package.

(11/26/2009) The seller would like to trade this jeep as part of a trade for a Cargo Trailer. This is a no tailgate DJ-3A. This appears to be a great price.
“JEEP: 1956 WILLY’S DJ3-A. Needs the bodywork finished and painted. Body is in good shape. Not wrecked or rusted out. Floorpan is great. Engine is a 4-cyl 1971 Ford, but runs like a top!

This looks like a good price. It’s got a the old Bobcat hood, too; at least, I think Bobcat was the manufacturer?
“1947 Willyz Jeep CJ2A Flat Fender -V8 Ready for AMC 360 -After Market Fiber Glass Hood -Original Axels and Running Gear. There is a lot of rust, but not bad considering it is 70 years old. All fenders, step sides, and windsheild attachments are intact and in working order. This is the original WILLYZ is the FIRST JEEP available to the public. At $700 its a steal for the collector or jeep enthusiast. Will haul for extra $$ call (360)473-6908 or reply via email.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1446.
This needs some work. No doubt the only VEC item left are the tool indents.
“Straight body, needs paint. Rock crawler potential. 4.3l V-6 engine, (probably needs replacing). Custom headers. EFI wiring harness. Muncie 420 transmission. Dana 300 t-case. Dana 44 front axle with spring over axle lift. Custom radiator. Custom engine mounts, (will work for a small block chevy v-8 also)
She needs more TLC and time than I can give her. Been sitting in my back yard untouched for far too long. If you want a rock crawler project, or a unique daily driver, this has potential. She looks a lot better than a lot of 66 year old people I know.”
This looks very solid. The seller listed this as a ’42.
“This Jeep would be great for someone looking to do a restoration project. The engine and transmission run, only 57,456 miles on the vehicle with good tires. I put in new seats and gas tank. The only thing it needs is a new fuel line which would be really simple to do on a vehicle like this. With work and school I dont have the time to play with it anymore. I am asking 5,000 or you can throw me an offer. phone: 402-250-3674.”

This is a pretty CJ-3B. Remonter A Neuf is translated by google as “A New Wind”. And we all know google is all knowing 🙂
“JEEP WILLYS CJ3 1960 REMONTER A NEUF. POUR COLLECTIONEUR. MOTEUR 450 MILLES.”
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.

(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.”

(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.
