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 .
No pics. I really wanted to see pics of this one.
“I have a 1943 Willys World War 2 Jeep that “Bubba” has modified. Actually I have been told this is a “MEESE” from the Phillipines?? Front fenders are different, has either a 1955 or ’56 Chevy 265 with original T84 and transfer. Jeep does run but needs total restoration. Unique looking Jeep. Sorry I have no camera so you would need to come and take a look/see. Located just outside of Watseka, Il. $2000 cash only, In God I Trust. Thanks”
Randy’s friend Jack appears to have contracted the Willys disease.
Jack tells the story, “Short story; Jack has been familiar with my flat fenders and thought nothing about it. Well, I found and he bought the ‘Weeds’ Willys [See pics of the ‘Weeds’ Jeep here]. Next week, while looking at your site, I spotted a ’46 in nice shape only 15 miles from where we live!!!! Well, Jack bought that one too! On Sunday afternoon he wa talking with some friends and someone mentions he has an old Jeep in his pasture; one of those “it ran when parked” jeeps. Well, you guessed it, Jack bought that one as well ($275) and the motor looks good. So, 3 Jeeps in 3 weeks for my buddy Jack. Guess I forgot to mention he’s an engineer by trade”
Here’s the ‘Weeds’ Jeep
Here’s the 2nd Jeep
Here’s the newest addition
‘Shortstop’ has some interesting art on the side. Many thanks to Bruce for sharing it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The price looks reasonable for a drivable flattie. The body looks a little beat up and it appears there is a patch on the passenger side of the body.
“Runs great!!”
This includes an Overdrive. Pics coming soon. I’m not sure what Mall205 means.

Once unburied, apparently it runs and drives.
Under 10,000 miles? better check that out closely. It appears in good shape based on the two pics.

This looks very nice.
“This kills me to do, but i need to knock down some debt. i have a restored 46 cj2a that i would like to sell. it has not been restored to original, but is exceptional none the less. everything was done 2 years ago. the windshield frame, fenders, and grill are all original. the tub was replaced, the engine rebuilt, wheels and tires replaced, new spare tire mount, new gas tank, all new seats, new glass, new top and doors, remote oilfilter kit, new battery, new brakes, basically the whole willys was rebuilt, except the transmission and transfer case. it runs the original flat head (rebuilt about 4-5k miles ago), tranny and transfercase, and axles. i have daily driven this for teh last 2 years during late spring, summer and early fall. it fires right up, runs smooth, sounds good, and has been perfectly reliable. the tires are 1.5 years old 30×9.50 bfg mudterrains mounted on 15” ford steel wheels. the whole jeep was repainted when the tub was replaced, and teh interior and fenderwells have all be sprayed with tinted spray in bedline to match the paint exactly.”
I was doing some research and found some pics from a female photographer on flickr who calls herself 03Jeepgirl. She owns two jeeps, though she didn’t get specific about what she owns. She’s posted a large number of old vehicle pics, including these flattie shots.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $4000.
There’s a square pegs .. well lights … in round holes. I can’t tell if this runs or not.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3450.

UPDATE: **SOLD** “Was $1000.
There’s been work done on the body. It sounds like the seller must sell before xmas, so this might become a great deal.
“My 1946 jeep is for sale, son decided to take apart and rebuild, and ran out of follow through! Engine and all parts are there, with several extra pieces and parts. Body parts sanded and primed. Jeep was running fine as we used it around the ranch, until he decided to “fix it up”. Flat head 4 cylinder, oil bath air cleaner, minimal rust. I believe it is a CJ2A civilian. Has a removable homemade hard top, 16” tires. Email me offers, has to go before Christmas day.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
I’d say those are floatation tires!

“I have a Ramsey winch pto unit 73002, that bolts to the bottom of the transfer case. This is unit is hard to find and necessary if you want both an overdrive and the pto capability on your vehicle. I’m not sure which vehicles this will fit, but I’ve been told that it will bolt onto a Dana 18 and Dana 20. The tooth count is 20 on the main gear. The adaptations of the frame member and shift lever are left up to you. See pictures. Call (503) 554-0631”

It runs and drives, but the pedals are frozen? Can someone explain that to me …
“1947 Willys Jeep with Chevrolet 4 cylinder 153 engine. Has new Coil, plug wires, points and condenser. Runs and drives. Engine smokes some. Pedal assembly froze up and multiple rust perforations in floor. Has tow hitch brush guard and roll bar. I drove it last Saturday after Thanksgiving.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $175.
This might be a good deal on a source of parts.
“no engine or windshield but plenty of other parts plus a winch it is frozen but fixable no tires but i do have a huge tire pile so I think we could find some to fit there is a transfer case all axles and wheels no seats but I do have a pair that might fit and i do have some parts in the shed IE: a front grill 2 extra hoods and a generator plus a few odds and ends in the shed all for 175.00 firm very cheap for the lot”

“Ready for restoration! Body is in good condition – some engine work has been done – newer brakes and wheels. Great Christmas gift for a Jeep enthusiast! We’ll supply a big red bow!”
There’s been some body work on this jeep. For example, note the sharp angle of the fenders rather than the normal smooth corner. The body drain holes are missing and there’s something unusual about the tailgate area.
“1948 JEEP WILLYS, 4X4, HAS APROX 2000 MILES ON ENGINE, NICE TOP, NEW PAINT”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Checkout the positioning of the levers. What’s going on with that?
“BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED 1947 WILLYS. I COULD ONLY LOAD 24 PICS, I HAVE PLENTY MORE, JUST LET ME KNOW I WILL E-MAIL THEM TO YOU ASAP. FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION FOR CIVILIAN USE! [Ed note .. I don’t think so ..] THIS ONE IS RESTORED TO WHAT IT WAS MEANT FOR, GREAT LOOKS AND ENJOYMENT! WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED OVER LAST NINE MONTHS. FRESH SERVICED 231 BUICK V6, RUNNING GREAT, STARTS RIGHT UP. 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION, SHIFTS GREAT. ALL 4 WHEEL DRIVE COMPONENTS WORK. BRAKES GONE THROUGH, IN GOOD SHAPE. ALL GUAGES WORK, EXCEPT WATER AND FUEL. WIPER MOTORS ARE THERE BUT NO WIPER ARMS OR VACUUM LINES (IT DOESN’T SEE RAIN). LIGHTS AND SIGNALS WORK ….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
This might be a pretty good price. It’s got a big speedometer, which suggests a DJ-3A to me, so the year noted by the seller may be correct.
“My dad and I are selling a Willy’s Jeep. It registers as a 1963 but it is honestly a mutt. It runs strong and the 4 wheeldrive works great. The starter was rebuilt about a year ago. The tires have probably about 90% of their tread left. The parking brake is broken (the guy we bought it from snapped the cable while we were test driving it). It is an easy fix we just never got around to it. I would really rather not sell it but it is under my dad’s name and he wants to make room in the garage and I have my own motorcycle project as it is so it must go.”
I recognize those seats, but this jeep must be listed under a new city this time.
