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 .
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.
“30K MILES RUNS GREAT. CALL MICHAEL FIERRO AT 503-507-8801. POWER AUTO CORVALLIS. DEALER CODE:0452”
http://salem.craigslist.org/ctd/1724122619.html
I’m guessing this doesn’t run?
“HAS A BUICK V-6 WITH AUTO TRANSMISSION. HAS RUST ON FLOOR AND SOME BODY AREA. HAVE TITLE AND NON OPERATION! NEEDS TOTAL RESTORING. CALL FREDDIE AT 619 478 9402.”
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/cto/1724777466.html
There’s a variety of updates to this flattie.
“35″ tires in great shape, 327 Chevy from a 69 Impala, racing seats with 5 point harnesses, and a New besttop top included. Body is in OK shape, some dents, some minor rust. Needs minor repairs you can do while you drive it like a front end alignment, misc wiring repair, and a brake upgrade. Asking $4700. Possible partial trades for atv, log splitter, or ? Would also trade for 4 door pickup or suv 98 or newer.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3800
(03/19/2010) Here’s a mostly stock jeep.
“
This is a Strong Running 1948 Willys Jeep in Good solid shape with a strong front winch and plow. Great to just hope in and go or as a project to fix up nicely with out to much money or hassle.This Vehicle is a collectors item as there are few left in this kind of structural shape, this Jeep is so Old that it does not even meet the requirements to drive on the major freeways anymore as the top speed is only around 50-55 miles and hour. Email me with any questions, Thanks, Mark”
http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/1724109673.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600
(05/02/2010) The windshield has been modified and the glass is missing.
“I have a 1948 willys jeep. Im asking 2600 or will TRADE for a nice fourwheeler(no less then 200cc) + 500 cash. It has dana rear ends. Dana transfer case. It has original flathead GODEVIL 4 cyl.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $61,500
(03/06/2010) This is a well done rebuild. I thought the shock mounts were elegantly attached to the frame. Lots of pictures to look at.
“1955 Willys Jeep Pick up.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
This appears to be a great find. This won’t last long.
“1942 jeep military (ford) good rust free almost running”
UPDATE: Was $8200. **SOLD**
“1946 Willys CJ2A jeep, 327 Chevy, sm420 transmission, Dana 20 transfer case with twin stick shifter, open knuckle Dana 30 front, 44 rear with locker, 11″ brakes all around, 15×10″ aluminum wheels with new 33×12.50 mud terrain tires, power steering, Warn 8274 winch, tow bar, bikini top, 20 gal stainless steel fuel cell, high back bucket seats, CB mounts and antenna, new radiator, hydraulic clutch, swing pedals, and much more. awesome jeep, very solid and dependable! asking $8200 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It appears very stock, but that CJ-2A body is pretty rusted on the sides.
“This jeep is as original and complete as I have seen. Rare items still on this jeep are the canvas top and bows, keyed coil, Naco taillight, and oil bath air cleaner to name a few. Serial number on title matches the firewall plate. ACM number on toeboard and tailgate match. The body tub needs some metal repair, and entire drivetrain will need to be evaluated. The motor turns by hand, but I have not tried to start it. If you are looking for a mudding jeep, keep looking-this one is not for you. Serious inquirers respond with email address and I will contact you regarding a personal inspection. ”
A reader spotted this unusual deal. That MB looks solid and appears stock. The seller incorrectly lists the MB as a M-38. This seller is also selling a Jeepster.
“4 Willys Jeeps For Sale. All Jeeps run good and have the original engines. One is a 1961 Willys Jeep set up for a service station with a steel plow and complete hydraulic plow package. The second is also from the early 1960’s and set up for a service station, and has a hydraulic plow hook-up. The third Jeep is also from the early 1960’s and has a hydraulic plow hook-up. The last Jeep is a 1950 or 1951 M-38 Military Jeep. All four Jeeps are complete and they all have some rot and rust. All four Jeeps are ready for restoration. I’m moving and can’t take these vehicles with me. $5,000.00 or best offer for all four Jeeps or make an offer for each Jeep separately. No e-mails please. Call (347) 203-9631.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(04/17/2010) Here’s an ad that was hiding under “willis”
“
1942 willis jeep with 1/4 ton trailer . runs good. needs some work, has roll bar and tow bar.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000 (was $5000 2 years ago)
This one hasn’t been re-listed in over 2 years. The pics show the jeep has been been painted with a rough body paint of some kind (herculiner maybe). This jeep still has no engine or transfercase.
(05/02/2008) “1948 Willys Jeep CJ 2 – A great looking body, no engine or transfer case. Please call during business hours: Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. 253-588-7101, 800-627-0773”
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/1722981675.html
This is actually a GPW (based on the parts I can see), though it’s been modified a bit.
