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: Price dropped to $3500
(03/27/09) I can’t tell if the body is rough or it’s just reflecting stuff due to its high polish.

“Hey there, I am letting my Project go that I just never got around to starting. It is a 1946 willys jeep, CJ2A. The motor was converted to a small block chevy 265 ci out of a 1955 Car. Other than that, the drive/power train is original. My buddies godfather restored it back in 1986 and painted it with lacquer base paint. Its in way restorable condition. Would make a great wheeler project or use as a great original restoration platform. If there are any questions, please feel free to email or call me at 253 205 74 six four.”

These are bolted on and can be removed.”

It’s a parts jeep. Note the later model drive train from a CJ-5. I’m not sure what’s attached to the back of the jeep.
“clean out garage have to may project going on 1947 willys jeep for sale NO TITLE . Has dauntless v6 last run last summer .. All jeep drive train form a cj5 have everthing .”
I doubt there’s much salvagable. Maybe it’s not as bad as it looks?

This runs and is supposed to be 98% rust free. Might be a good deal. That’s not the original engine, but at least there’s no hole in the hood!
“I am selling my 1947 WILLYS jeep. The jeep is 98% rust free and original. THe jeep is in real nice shape for its age it has been stored inside most of it’s life but it has been sitting outside for the last few weeks.

“for sale my 47 willys (runs good looks good). flat head 4 cly 3 seed trans high and low gears good runner starts right now converted to 12 volt $3000.00 is the price or trade for jeep wrangler that my wife can drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks mostly stock. So, the engine smokes like all old jeeps do, but the jeep is in great running condition? Is there a tiny disconnect there?
“This is a 1952 Willy’s CJ3-B. This is a civilian jeep that was purchased from a farm in New Mexico. When we got the jeep it was all there. It had no rust and was running (poorly but running) and the breaks didn’t work at all. The jeep has been straightened and painted and it is all metal. There is no bondo on this jeep the body was straight except for a few dents that were removed by the body shop with out using filler with all the original sheet metal. It had the original paint on it when we got it. To prevent the paint on the inside from getting damaged we had them put a “spray on bed liner” type material down on the inside of the tub and inside the fender wells that is the same color as the paint. The head gasket on the original (to my knowledge) flat head motor was replaced. The head was machined smooth and the deck was prepped. Brakes were torn down and repaired and function as they did in 1952. The jeep is in great running condition and can be seen locally by appointment. It runs and drive fantastically. It smokes a little sometimes like all old jeeps do. We are located in Wingate just out side of Monroe North Carolina.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750
(04/24/09) It looks like a project, but apparently it’s driveable.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
It looks like some money has been spent on this rebuild.
“This is a completely restore 1945 Willys , new everything no exspence was spared when building, Even the motor is brand new . It is only used to show and is hauled there on a car trailer, only 30 miles on everything. I also have a brand new full complete soft top that has never been installed and tons of extra parts mostly left over. I might consider partail trades. I have all the paper work and pictures of the jeep during its rebuild,Also a clean title.”
