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 $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.
“1955 WILLYS OVERLAND 4 WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP Has rebuilt engine, transmission, transfer case, clutch, brakes , alternator, carburator, new battery , new paint, Electrical was rewired, new Am Fm cd player new upholstery new headliner, and new rubber molded floor mat , Rino liner in bed .

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. ”
It looks the body and parts are sitting in the middle of nowhere…
“This jeep is between 1945 & 1949. I used to have the ID plate, but over the years I have lost it. I have the Tube, hood, grill, windshield & both front finders. I can take and send more pics if you want them.”
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/pts/1611235589.html
It’s got some rust on the grille, but the rest doesn’t look all the bad.
“57 Willys Jeep. Very rare, all original. Serious buyers only,please…”
http://yubasutter.craigslist.org/cto/1600439015.html
This looks like a M-38 to me, rather than a CJ-3A as indicated by the seller. I wouldn’t mind seeing some more pics of this.

Here’s someone looking for a CJ-2A windshield.
“I am looking for a 2 piece windshield for a Willys cj-2a. I would like the inner and outer but will take what I can get and go from there. Thanks, Rick days.206-617-6208”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
Here’s four old school slots Gerald found.
“Aluminum Slotted wheels 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. 15 x 8.5 wide, will fit older Ford, Dodge, Jeep, Scout, Bronco, etc.”
The price just dropped to $1500.
“$1500 OR MAKE OFFER. i have the title email zrcats2002@yahoo.com willys”

Here’s a flatbed dually.
“Up for auction is a very rare Jeep Cabover, the body frame and interior are in very good condition. The engine is a “Flat Head” 6 cylinder that runs great ….no smoke. The Dump Body is a fully functional Electric Hydraulic system. Some body work has been done to the cab. The Dump body and cab have been painted recently. The doors are in great shape, the passenger door needs some adjustment. Driver and passenger seats are in great shape Mechanically the Jeep is very sound condition but will require some tinkering (TLC). Please review the pictures provided carefully ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $799
The body has a tailgate, so I doubt it’s an MB. It looks more like a parts jeep.
“For Sale a 1943 MB Willys Jeep project, title in hand for $799 CASH OR BEST OFFER. I was in the process of making it into a fun driver and as such the tub in the pics is sitting on a postal Jeep 2WD chassis. The tub is NOT yet mounted. There is a good ’80’s Nissan pickup 4 cylinder engine and manual transmission mounted in the chassis. I also have other miscellaneous parts and pieces that will be sold as one lot including but not limited to the original chassis with front and rear axles, transmission, transfer case, etc. Most of the original Jeep body parts are usable. I DO NOT have the windshield frame. I’m sorry but PLEASE don’t call if you know nothing about old Jeeps and just want ask a million questions. Also do not call if you need a running, driving Jeep. THIS 67 YEAR OLD JEEP IS A PROJECT THAT WILL REQUIRE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY TO COMPLETE. PLEASE DO CALL if you seriously are looking for a project, or need parts for your project. Also please be aware that if you purchase this Jeep you will be responsible to load it up and haul it off yourself with your trailer. ”
This needs some work, but looks pretty good. It also looks like it has been stretched a bit in the front of the body and the front axles looks forward a bit too, suggesting this isn’t a standard frame. Maybe it’s a truck or CJ-7 frame?
“This would be a great hunting and/or trail rig. It has a chevy 4.3 v6, power steering, duel exhaust, 31×10.50 mud tires with 95% tread, trailer hitch, 3 speed manual trans, and 2 stick transfer case. This Jeep has been put up for several years and could use some work. Here’s what I know it needs: The front diff needs new spider gears ($100.00 from 4wd.com), could use the right rear brake drum replaced, and needs a tune-up. The broken spider gears were removed and the axel was cleaned and refilled with oil, so it does drive. (318) 355-5223 if interested.

UPDATE: Still Available
This M-606 includes a Navy ID Plate — very rare based on what I’ve seen. The dashboard arrangement isn’t something I’ve seen. Get it while it lasts.
“US Navy 1958 CJ3B Willys Jeep with Willys Overdrive. Original 4Cyl F Head Engine. Tow bar. CB Radio. Original USN vehicle numbers. Slightly modified with roll bar and bucket front seats. Could easily be returned to original. Battleship grey and military tires. I am a navy vet and owned this jeep for over 20 years. It has been extremely reliable and bullet proof. Extremely rare military vehicle. Most survivors are army or marine issue. If your a vet especially a navy vet, this is your chance to relive a little of the past. Sadly, it is time they we both must depart and move on. I will miss my shipmate and the new owner must promise to take good care of her.”
http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/1579640898.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
Not a whole lot of value left on this CJ.
“Basically, I have a completely unrestored, and non running CJ. Early willys. CJ2a windshield. A little cancer, all parts are there. Flat fendres, grill tail gate, original axles, tranny/tcase. Ford motor, disassembled at the heads, probably not even rebuild able.
I’ve had guys come look at this expecting more. When I say it needs a restoration I mean it. This is not a parts gold mine… Its old, its rusty and incomplete. Best used as parts, have panels taken from it, etc. I was going to take a Cherokee, and salvage all the parts from it to put into the Willys, but whatever you guys want. Its cheap enough, and price is negotiable it needs to move in 3 weeks or else it his the scrap yard. And yes the Capstan winch is GONE; no title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
(12/13/09) Check out this plow. This looks like a good deal.
“I am selling a 48 willys jeep for my aunt the plow lights and 4×4 all function great perfect for private use asking $2,000”
UPDATE: John informed that he successfully adopted a 1959 CJ-5 that will complete his ‘family’. It looks like it’s a great, straight CJ with a good foundation for a rebuild. Congrats John!
John writes, “Dave, Our new family arrival, a 59 cj5. This unit came without eng. & trans & fer. It will get a Dauntles & org. trans & fer, & O/D. I’ll replace all floor pans , the rest of the tub is very good. It will get a four point cage. Disc front brakes, 11″ rear. Painted to match its stable mates.”
Here’s a few pics:
John shared this ‘family’ photo with me. He noted that he’s hoping to adopt a 1959 CJ-5 to complete the family. You can see pics of ‘Brownie’ (CJ-3A) here. And, some closeups of Brownie here.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
I can’t imagine there are too many Russian amphibious vehicles in the United States. Apparently this is the 4wd version of the Luaz.
“Used, made in USSR amphibious , lightweight , air-dropable ( with parachute of course 😉 helicopter-transportable military vehicle.Used as a light medevac vehicle . 3 seats, or driver + 700 lbs cargo.

This looks in reasonable shape. No title.
