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 .
Thanks to Wes at offroadaction.ca for creating a post about this great collection of black and white photos (how I haven’t stumbled across it is beyond me) at Jeep4ever’s website. Click here to see nearly 200 b&w photos, some you probably have seen and some you haven’t seen courtesy of Jeep4ever.ca (I’ve posted a variety of these previously, but found them through the library of congress).
I particularly like this one.
This one falls into the “I didn’t know they made an adapter for that” department. I was doing some research into whether there was an overdrive solution (besides the Sierra OD attempt) for the Dana 20, which I thought there wasn’t, when I came across this thread from the early CJ-5.com website. It turns out, someone made an adapter that allowed the Dana 20 to attach to a BW overdrive, though I suspect such a combo would only work in a long wheel base vehicle (these adapters are also occasionally on ebay as well). Here’s a pic from the thread.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
It sounds a bit rough.
“I have a 46 cj2a jeep with no motor or tranny searing box or stem or title, theirs a bit of rusted threw spots, but nothing to bad, its been painted flat black, not the best job but it looks alot better then it did, jeeps been sitting in the shop for a couple of years now and i have no use for it anymore, need money for other rigs, the drivers side window it cracked drivers side floor boards have rusted threw but there is a homemade piece sitting there just needs welded in passenger side has a actually store made piece sitting there it needs welded as well, fenders and roll bar are both bolted on solid, the full dash is there,lights and wires are all there, the jeep could use a nice sand blasting job and it would look a million times better. email me for more info/ picks im willing to trade for a truck of some sort that runs and doesn’t need much work or none at all.”
I don’t know how common or uncommon these are.
“I’m looking for a 6-bolt hub for a Jeep CJ with a Dana 30 front axle. Let me know if you have a spare laying around and what condition it’s in. Thanks.”

This looks like a great find by Jim. The serial number is 17614. It runs …
“A very rare restoration project. I pulled this CJ-2A out of a barn in Crawford Colorado.

UPDATE: Last price $8,500. Status Unknown.
(03/01/2010) Here’s a modded VEC that looks in very good condition.
“This 46 Willys has been completely gone through. It has always been garaged and is extremely clean. It has a Buick V-6 that runs strong – Turbo 350 transmission – Detroit Locker 44 in rear, 27 in front – brand new Toyo 33″ mud terrains – 2 in. lift with spring over – power steering – Ramsey 8,000 lb. winch – 1 year old paint job with no nicks or scratches – custom built roll cage with built-in speakers – CD player – Corbeau race seats and lap belts – GT steering wheel with telescoping and tilt column – tacometer – newer gauges – BNM floor shifter – bikini top – lots of chromed parts and much more! Must see to appreciate – serious inquiries only – no trades.”
This is the 1973 Mistubishi Prototype “Pajero”. Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I found the photos. Next to the wagon, is what I call the CJ-3B Wagon, but what Mistubishi called the CJ3B-J11, created in 1956. You can see a full version of it below. Click here to see the Mitsubishi virtual museum.
Here’s a beautiful photograph of a MB named Delilah taken by Louisa Hennessey in Feb, 2009. It can be seen on Flickr.
UPDATE: An eWillys reader bought this CJ-2A. Congrats!
This does have the rare bed extension on the back.
“1948 Original Willys Jeep. All records since 1967. Barn kept. Title, tagged and inspected. Everything works.”
The seller lists this as a CJ-2A, but the top half looks all M-38 to me.
“1946 World War II Willys Jeep 4X4 with trailer. No windsheild or top. Turns over but won’t start.”
http://janesville.craigslist.org/atq/1723033414.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** WAs $2500.
If it runs as well as advertised and the rust is light, this might not be a bad price.
“I AM SELLING A 1951 WILLYS CJ38. IT IS A MANUAL TRANS THAT IS VERY STRONG. THE MOTOR IS ALSO VERY GOOD RUNS LIKE A CHAMP. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS AMAZING IT IS LOCK IN HUBS AND WORKS REALLY GOOD. THE JEEP IS SOLID AND RUNS GREAT. WE REPLCED THE BRAKES AND MASTER CYLINDER ALONG WITH STEERING KNUCKLE. IF HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS”

I don’t know if it runs, but it appears complete.
“nice shape, needs engine and brake work”
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/cto/1724607230.html
This looks more like a CJ-3A to me. It’s clearly a paint job from another era … I love it! I’m wondering if this has the hudston steering. It has hydraulic clutch/brake and probably swing pedals.
“1946 Willy Jeep. I believe it is the CJ – 2A model. This is a perfect starting spot for a full restore / rebuild. Pretty much everything is there other than the original engine which was only there for a little while because my Grandfather swapped it for a 283 Corvette Engine. Fenders, hood, grille, rims, tires, spare, 4 wheel transmission, axles, unknown transmission (hooked up with 283), steering column, steering wheel, shift linkage, all seats, gas tank, lights, wiring, ignition with key, fold down windshield, more random parts, etc. Please note, these pictures were taken a while ago and the tachometers are no longer with the car, everything else is the exact same.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $6800
(03/18/2010) The pics don’t reveal much.
“Selling a mint condition 1963 Jeep CJ3B. Only 35,000 miles on it. Winch, hard, anb bikini top. Call Dick with any questions @ 303-981-4040.”
I’ve seen lots of ‘hood bumps, but never anything like this. That said, the body appears in good shape. Given where the handle bar is located on the dash, I’m wondering if this is an early body that doesn’t have the glove box?
“i have a 41 willys jeep was looking for a aluminum boat with a motor and trailer but lets see what you got open to options”
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/bar/1724628755.html
This one is a bit rough, but runs.
“jeep gpw,engine runs (needs carb and dist work). has matching # on frame and glove box tags. old rebuild tags on transmission (early style fill on opposite side) & transfer case, later engine.”
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/1724639514.html
Dan spotted this Nice CJ-5. Someone put some time and effort into this nice build.
“She is ready to for summer to be enjoyed by someone. 225 Buick motor, 33″ tires with a 4″ lift. Picture doesn’t do her justice. Lots of new parts just put on. ”
http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/1719750207.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Dan forwarded this M-38. This looks like a solid, stock Jeep.
“1951 M38 Converted to 12 volt. Runs good and is in good mechanical shape. Needs seat frames.”
This looks in great condition, though it appears it isn’t completely stock.
