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: The seller deleted the craigslist ad, so this may have sold.
I wonder if the engine that needs rebuilding is good enough for another 10k miles or so.
“1961 Willys Pickup Truck – Body in great condition – Engine needs rebuilding – Includes 2 addition engines (all straight 6s including original engine) – 84,801 miles – $3,950.00 or best offer – Email for link to larger photos.”

There appears to be plenty of parts, but I can’t tell if they are all there. Note this does have stock reversed front springs.
“Picked this Willys up in Vegas last year. It has clear Nv title as a 1959, after some research it turns out to be a 1955, easy fix. Went to Willys Overland web site with vin and figured it out. I believe everything is here. I have a small shed with loads of parts that go with the CJ, carb, dist, seats, 2 windshield frames 1 with glass, gauges, 2 stearing columns, soft top, soft doors, grill with lights & turn signals, floor panels, skid plate, trailer hitch, bolts & screws and CJ builders book. It has a 350 GM crate motor mounted, with trany, transfer case, missing front drive shaft. Drive shaft should be aval. from Border parts in Spring Valley. Motor I was told has 15,000 miles on it, I have not had it running, turns by hand”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This is certainly rough, but I love the rust markings on this. With the right light and camera angles, I think this would make a really cool photo.
“no reserve-5 day auction on this 1953 Willys panel delivery wagon, has rare cargo type doors, two wheel drive, model that has been sitting in the california desert for many years… it is basically a rolling shell,with a couple of flats they pump up but dont hold air very long. it has some pinholes in the roof edge and bottom of rear door is pretty bad shape but if you want to make a sweet rod or practice your first chop & channel you can do just about anything to these willys and they turn out cool,but please look at the pics closely. this is being sold as is where is condition and there is NO TITLE -it will be Bill Of Sale only,but you know that they are easy to retitle. i only have what you see in the pictures and there is a $500-non refundable deposit due by paypal only!(within 24 hours of winning bid),balance within 7 days of auction close. i can store it for you – up to 30 days- and will help with you loading it on your trailer or delivery driver.being a 2×2 makes this willys a quick rat rod project .any question please ask them before you bid.
UPDATE: This Sold .. Was listed at $250.
Dan spotted this interesting item. If you’ve got an engine and tranny, this might make a good project. There were less than 3000 of these made in 1974.
“CHECK OUT THIS CLEAN 74 CJ 6 , LONG WHEEL BASE, THE CAR WAS A ORIG. SUN VALLEY CAR, GARAGED, 75 K. MILES. NO RUST-BODY IS IN VERY GOOD COND.

UPDATE: Was $600. **SOLD**
This looks to be a pretty good price.
“So here’s the deal. I bought this 43 willys flat fender from a guy in cave junction about a year and a half ago (10/08 to be exact) for $600 (it was on C.L.), as a project and to use for hunting. When I bought it the motor was out and mostly disassembled, which the motor is a 4cyl. chevy vega eng.. Well when I got it home and aftering ordering all the part’s ($300) and starting to put it back together I found out the block had been dropped at one point, not to mention there was 3 heely coils and 2 stripped bolts. So I got on C.L. and finally found another chevy vega eng. a guy was selling in vancouver Wa.. So I went, checked it out, and bought it ($300). I brought it home rebuilt it and put it in. So it has a rebuilt motor: rings/bearings/water pump/gaskets/etc., orig. 3speed trans. w/ split shift transfer case (I put a new clutch plate in also), Chevy tilt steering column, full roll cage, good tires, with lot’s of tread”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Here’s a running Wagon in what appears decent shape.
“1949 willys jeep, runs well, straight body, needs paint but minimal body work, 283 engine, rebuilt carburetor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1875.
Are you kidding me? A running GPW that looks pretty good for under $2000?
“
1945 GPW HALF HARD TOP RUNS GOOD”
If this was done well, then this may be a good price. The pic is pretty small.
“53 willys on a cj5 frame, 304 bb, new paint & interior, 35 in tires, runs great, $3200.00 828-299-8946”
UPDATE: Looks to have a replacement body. Was $5000. **SOLD**
This looks like it is in very good condition. Not totally stock …
“HAS BEEN SITTING IN GARAGE NEED TO MAKE ROOM COME AND LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY!! HAVE ALL INVOICES OF ALL WORK DONE AND PUT INTO. MAKE ME AN OFFER”
UPDATE: Was $5000. **SOLD**
Stahl boxes?
“1962 Jeep Willy, 4 wheel drive, 50k, green pickup, in good condition, with generator and snow plow, and custom designed jockey boxes on the sides. Lives in a heated garage. A good working vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The body on this looks good for a North Eastern Truck.
“Has been in the barn for years and years. This Jeep is a great restoration project. I hate to part with it. For more info or to come take a look”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
I’m thinking this might be a M-38? I think I see tool indents on the passenger side. Those tires are pretty worn.
“Selling a original 1946 Jeep Willy that runs and drives for $5,000.00. Only modifications is it has been converted to 12 volt. Almost all parts are new only thing that needs work is the rocker panels and floor boards are rusted.”
Here’s a potential buyer for a 1/2 cab.
“Wanted a fu ll or 1/2 cab for a Willys CJ3B. May be able to use one form a Cj2a or CJ3a also. Thanks”
UPDATE: Was $3250. **Status Unknown**
This is built on a 1948 CJ-2A foundation.
“A spare front and spare rear axle is included! $3,250 cash only. Medical bills force the immediate sale of this beautiful buggy.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a nice looking truck.

UPDATE: Last priced at $9500.
The Jeep looks nice enough, but let me remind potential buyers that 1. VE day was in May of 1945 and VJ day was in August of 1945; 2. 1948 comes after 1945 (umm .. this is self-evident, yes?); and 3., by the transitive mathematical property, this jeep, contrary to the seller’s claim, could not have played a role in WWII because it ended in 1945 and the jeep was produced in 1948.
“1948 Willys Jeep for sale!!! This car is in excellent condition and is a wonderful item for anyone who loves antique vehicles or wartime collectibles. This was used in WW2, but the engine has been replaced entirely, so its not just a lawn ornament. You can cruise town in this Willys. It is equipped with the canvas cover. Please contact me if you are interested. I’d love to show you the car or send you more pictures. Also, email me for more information on the vehicle; I’d be happy to answer your questions.”
UPDATE: Was $5000. **SOLD**
(01/21/2010) It looks good.
“1950 Jeep CJ-3A Nice driver. Used daily. New top, wheels, battery, and much, much more. Converted to 12 volts and new wiring. Front and rear have been changed to newer units that are higher geared. I have the old set. Aluminum top also. $5000,”
UPDATE: Kevin from the UK wrote me today to say that he spotted the same CJ-2A Kevin saw while on vacation on Maui in 2002. Too funny! He also took a picture and provided it for our viewing pleasure. Thanks Kevin!
Steve was visiting Hawaii a few years ago and spotted this VEC CJ-2A on the island of Maui in Hawaii. There can’t be too many of these on the island!
Brett found another interesting deal in Utah. The seller labels this a 1952, but it looks like a VEC CJ-2A to me. It looks like it was also a column shift at some point.
“Sold As Is. 1952 CJ2A Jeep. Has 2 motors needs install. Asking 1000.00 or best offer.”

I’m not sure what a GE refrigerating machine type CK-2-D16 is? The seller lists this as a CJ-2A, but I’m guessing it is a M-38.
“I have a 1952 CJ2A Military Jeep with trailer for sale that I have owned for 35 years. It RUNS GOOD, is in good condition, no rust and could easily be restored back to military standard. It also has an operational general electric refrigerating machine type CK-2-D16 serial #8213178. I am asking $4,000.00 for the Jeep and trailer, please call Wayne at 512-970-4901 with questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Doesn’t look too bad for $1000.
“Picked this up last year expecting this to be a “father and son” project…it turned out that neither of us had the time we thought we had. Son now wants a motorcycle or something “sportier” and I just want my driveway back. This Jeep needs to be completely restored and is not currently running. You could weld some sheet metal in the floor boards, reconnect everything, and bondo and paint it and it would pass for a while, but it is 50+ years old and would serve you better to really do some work on it. Aftermarket parts for this aren’t very painful…complete bolt on steel body kit runs about $3K from JC Whitney, a little less for fiberglass…if you want to bypass the patch, weld, and refinish route. Engine is easy to go through and lots of parts on the web. I have some makeshift seats (actual frame with a poly seat covering) and some miscellaneous parts to go along. Let me know your thoughts…I’m open to negotiation. Might consider a trade (for me, not my son)…possibly a running 60-70’s VW or a sportbike?? Check the link below for more pictures. ”
