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 $2200
“1946 jeep willys small lift on 31s 4cyl stick 4wd good climber looking to trade for street legal railbuggy or ???? vehicles only or would sell for 2200 obo”
The body appears in good shape. This might be a good price if you can install a gas line (which should cost $20 or less).
“48 Willys CJ2A. Has a new gas tank that just needs hose run to Carb. Then engine will run. I have a few new parts that go along with it. Call Richard for specifics. (443)928-8739. Clean title in hand. Asking $2000 obo.”

It’s nice, but needs a tiny bit of work. I have a pic of this when it was red and for sale in colorado.
“1951 Willys CJ3A powered by 1979 Buick 3.8L V6. Original 3-speed manual trans with 2-speed transfer case and overdrive. Saginaw steering conversion with GM tilt wheel. 11″ front brakes, Superwinch free wheeling hubs, Superlift springs and shocks – 2″ or less lift. Nice ride. New aluminum radiator, electric cooling fan, CJ high back buckets, custom spare tire carrier, heater, 31×10.50 BFG mud terrain tires, 8″ or 10″ wide aluminum rims, original front and rear axle housings. Unsure of gear ratio. New single exhaust, tow hitch with 2” receiver. Bikini top only. This vehicle came from Colorado 6 months ago. Body is in very good condition. Has a small amount of rust under passenger side. Items needed – new or rebuilt carb, trans needs 2nd gear synchro, brakes need to be checked, needs emergency brake cable. A little bit of work will make this a really nice vehicle.
This runs and the plow works. The body sounds bad, but the deal sounds like a good one.
“1941 Jeep Willys 4×4 With Plow, Needs Carb Adjusted Or Kit Put On It. Rust and Voids On Body. Frame Solid. Most All Original. Pushes show well. Good 2 Track Runner.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
(05/05/2010) This looks like a good project.
“I am selling a 1955 Willys Overland, 2 wheel drive station wagon with a 283 Chevy engine and a Powerglide transmission. It will need some work to get running. Body is in very decent unrestored (never been painted) condition. It needs a full restoration but all in all a very good starting point. Asking $1,000”
UPDATE: Steve reports that this sold for $5600 with only two bids.
Jean-Sebastien spotted this unusual find.
“This is a Jeep FC 170 four wheel drive flat bed truck that has been made into a fire engine. This vehicle was originally used by the US forest service around Yosemite and later sold to a church camp just outside of the park. The vehicle was garaged and used by the church camp for insurance purposes. The vehicle is in extreemly good original condition. All equipment is stock except the windshield wiper motor which was changed to an electric model instead of the vacuum type. The vehcile runs strong and starts up promptly everytime. It has the 6 cylinder motor with a 3 speed manual transmission. Warren “free wheeling” hub caps to secure four wheel drive. The interior is in very good condition, as you can see by the pictures. The odometer shows 30,000 miles, but the speedometer cable broke so I can’t say what the actual mileage is. I would say not more than about 50,000 original miles. The fire apparatus has a 250 gallon tank with a 5 hp gas motor that both starts manually or with an electric push button starter. Pump works great and all seals seam to not leak. Vehicle comes with 200 feet of fire hose ( cotton single jacket), 150 of 1 1/2 and 50 ft of 1 inch. Two variable plastic nozzles with 1 1/2 fittings. There are two yellow helmets and a first aid kit. All gauges work (except the speedometer) and two new gauges were added for oil preasure and temperature. Body shows some signs on repair around the passenger door handle, but otherwise the vehicle is in good overall condition for the body. Vehicle runs fine and all mechanical parts work good. Brakes are in good condition as are tires, clutch and transmission. There is no slippage when shifting. This is a fairly rare vehicle and would be well suited for a ranch (for insurance purposes) or another church. Please e-mail any questions.”
The front appears rough.

Dan spotted this one. FJ-40 prices are pretty crazy, making this FJ look like a good bargain. The seller is getting deployed and needs to sell quickly!

UPDATE: Jonathan points out that this sold for less than $1400 ($1356.13). Someone got a solid deal!
These Jeep-A-Trenches don’t appear every day. I love this beat up old jeep 🙂
“1948 willys jeep [but not really sure]. It is a nice early CJ with a period [first series] jeep a trench attachment. I also am including a period willys jeep option snow plow. It came off my 47 CJ. I planned on selling only the trencher but have a offer to buy another jeep with plow so I am selling the whole package. The jeep tub has rust and the roof is in rough shape also, it all can be put back together. The jeep run 3 yrs ago and I had it firing & running with gas down the carb but the starter stopped working. This is a rare piece and wouldnt take much to get it working again. It dug trenches for water, electric and a drain line over 150′ within the last 5yrs. It has good tires and a towbar for short towing. bill of sale only. no papers. Buyer to pickup or I have a local guy who can deliver it for a fee. Payment within days of end of auction. Email me with any questions.”
It’s hard to tell much from the pics.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3100.
It looks pretty stock.
“
This Flatfender Jeep originally came from California. It is driveable, but I consider it a work in progress/project jeep. I would not consider this vehicle a daily driver. I do have the California title. I bought it from the Tech Editor for JP Magazine. We are moving in two weeks.”
This looks in pretty good shape for the price.
“Don’t have time for this great truck. Was running but needs wiring harness replaced (have new harness (and manual) just needs to be installed). Won’t take much to get it running solid. Some rust but still sound.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
The fix for the engine can’t be that complex.
“Red, low mileage, original drive train, engine, PTO, towbar, near new top, good body, 12 volt conversion. “As is” This jeep ran purrfectly until one day I had the hood up while it was running and was bragging to my neighbor how smooth it ran. I then closed the hood, it stopped running and I couldn’t get it started after that. I’m not a mechanic and haven’t a clue what it might be. I think this car would be have a NADA value of approximately $10,000.00 if it were running today. Please look at the pictures below and call me with any questions.”
This M-38 looks solidily rebuilt.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
There might be some value here. I suspect it can be snagged pretty cheaply.
“1950 WILLYS OVERLAND………..MOTOR WAS REBUILT YEARS AGO, YET THERE IS PROBABLY LESS THEN 5 K ON IT, AND SINCE THEN, IT HAS SAT FOR THE BETTER PART OF MAYBE 20 YEARS. YOU COULD PUT A “CJ” FIBERGLASS BODY ON IT AS OFFERED IN J.C. WHITNEY CATLOG ……………….
