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 .
With a recently rebuilt V-6, a straight, non-rust looking body and a full rollcage, the price on this looks really good.

This CJ-3B has changed colors. It is now green? It’s been painted in the last 6 days! Old color on the right. New color on the left. The seats have been recovered too? Or, this is just a different jeep being sold by the same seller at the same price? Interesting ….
“53 willys CJ3B jeep runs good rough body solid drive train ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500. It’s been for sale since June. There are more pictures now and it looks pretty good.
“1948 Willys Jeep 4 x 4, CJ 2A Body, Exterior is white in color, Interior is black, original 4 cylinder engine, Mileage 61409, Gas gauge does not work, Jeep runs good and you can test drive it and drive it home if you purchase this. Jeep has off road tires and it also has another full set of what seems to be original Ford rims with tires, tires are not original but all hold air.

UPDATE: **SOLD** WAS $2850.
This jeep has its engine out and apart.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ 2a, Army Green, Orig 4 cyl flat head. Very fun car. Ran good, but burned oil, so removed engine, hot tanked parts, ready to rebuild. Many new parts: $2850”
John bought himself a trailer a few months ago and decided he wanted to turn it into a multipurpose trailer. The result is a tent that he erect on his trailer in about 5 minutes, something he can use for camping or for storing the jeep. Here’s what he writes:
“I’ve had this thing in my head for over a year. After we got the trailer in Feb, it all came into view. I just had to get my upholstery guy to see the same thing. There was more work to get him to see it than actual work to make it! There is a reflective panel in the top that really cools this thing down. I’m working on a hot water system for a shower & I’ll have a generator also. ”
Here’s some pics:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
This seems like a pretty good price for this combo.
“1942 Willys Military Jeep and 1946 Bantam Military Jeep Trailer. Jeep has roll bar/bimini top/extra clutch plate/tow bar/newly recovered seats/spare tire/3 Jeep cans. Converted to 12 volt electrical system. All lights, instruments and heater work. Trailer has tailgate, new paint and lights. $4800 for both.”
Needs new rear axle. Otherwise, doesnt’ sound like a bad price. I think this is a CJ-3A (NOT A CJ-1.. lol)
“it has a fully rebuilt v-6 in it with brand new cooper all-terrain tires levaling kit,good paint job,new bucket seats,roll bar,all new wireing,runs perfect,the bad is that it needs a new rear axle but othee than that it is in very good condition for it’s age, thanks danny 541-855-1473”
This might not be a bad price. I think it depends on exactly what the herculiner on the inside is covering.
“willys has all stock running gear including flat head 4 cylinder runs great, has newer best top line x sprayed inside the tub,it runs and drives cory 971-506-0484, no email please”
This is a nice looking CJ-3A. I swear I’ve seen it before, but a search through all my 154 1951 CJ-3A pictures didn’t yield anything.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
This jeep looks like it rides a little high. Either it’s got re-arched springs or tall shackles.
“This rig replaces the standard engine with a 1972 Ford Pinto 2.0L engine for extra kick! Installed are a FRESH TRANSMISSION and a FRESH TRANSFER CASE!!! Aftermarket shocks are installed both front and rear, and combined with the installed front hub locks and front hitch, makes this a great basic off-roading package! Comes with an aftermarket rollbar, set of 5 original military tires, an original military gas can, and set of 4 Super Swamper 32″ off-road tires”
There’s a good deal of junk here, but the opening bid is only $195, so maybe there’s some value. I can see there’s the column shift parts at the very least.
“You are bidding on a 1946 JEEP WILLYS. 4 cylinder, 4 wheel drive low. Column shift, transmission & under gear is all there. Full radiator assembily w/shrowd. Floating hubs for front, starter. Overall condition is restorable. Willys OJ2A 32336. Jeep does not have title….”
This appears in pretty good stock shape. There’s a few small dings, but nothing obvious appears wrong.

A reader sent this our direction. One interesting feature is the rectangular square on the driver’s side. That’s not something standard is it? It includes an Overdrive.
“been stored original cond one repaint originally red professional overhauled original engine with original owners manual towbar 1943 army trailer avail also”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
“1950 Willys Jeep, have doors and windshield, all parts are there, includes a ramsey pto winch.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
“World War II era jeep that is very restorable. Many original parts. Non-running 4 cyl. L-block post war motor.”
UPDATE: Still available
This is pretty rusty. It looks like it’s pretty stock.
“not running some rust flat head 4last running 6 years ago.comes with plow.best offer call 203-868-5000.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
It looks pretty good.
“Pretty cool old CJ3b with restored western snow plow. New hydraulics installed for plow. new AT tires, original ’60s mag wheels. Plows great. Starts and runs easy, but smokes like a chimney. Original motor with many years and miles with spare short block ready to rebuild. New paint about two years old. We’ve sold our place in the mountains, so I have no need for this cool toy any more. I am willing to trade this antique Jeep with plow for a Harley Davidson street glide, or police model electra glide or similar HD motorcycle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
“1954 Willys Jeep, CJ3b. Has a roll bar and a tow bar. In good shape. It’s been sitting so it needs a new battery, seals for the carburator and brake lines. Had a baby, husband wouldn’t let me put a baby seat in it. :)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
I got a couple problems with this jeep. The seller claims the jeep has a “Frame Up Full Restoration”, however given the jeep has no engine or engine related parts, the use of the term full is pretty innaccurate. Clearly, there’s been no restoration from the frame downward, as the U bolts are rusted, the shocks are greasy, etc. Also, check out the roll cage; there isn’t even an attempt to place a plate underneath the fiberglass body to sandwich the body at the very least, let alone a proper attempt to tie the roll cage into the frame. A stock buick 225 engine is rated at about 150 – 160 hp, not 175hp. The paint job does look very nice and their appear to be a number of other new parts as well. The opening bid price is $3995.
“Up for highest offer is a 1947 Willys Jeep painted 1965 Ford Poppy Red. Original frame and Willys overland Drivetrain.Needs motor. Frame up full restoration. many aftermarket parts 5000.00 invested . Aftermarket HD fiberglass body and fenders . many parts to much to list. Comes with 1970 Jeepster Commando with Buick Dauntless running V6 engine. You will need to buy the V6 swap kit to link the Buick V6 to the T90 transmission….”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500
It appears there’s been a good deal of work done on it.
“This is a early 1950’s Willys Jeep with almost complete restoration. The jeep was stripped to the frame and rebuilt from the ground up. It just needs a few things to finish (radiator,wiring,seats). This was my project 4 years ago and just do not have time to finish it. Please email me at hand@my180.net”
UPDATE: This was $85,000 for the whole collection. I have found some related craigslist ads. See them below.
I’ve found a couple references to the sale of this collection. Anyone know more? Based on the pic to the right, these don’t appear in great condition. My guess is that this is over priced.
Here is a link to another reference at Hemmings, where I found the pic to the right.
Here’s a link to Hemmings that reads “WILLYS: elderly WW II veteran has vintage Jeep collection, 40s-60s, both military and civilian, must sell, best offer.”
======================
CRAIGSLIST ADS RELATED TO ABOVE:
1946 CJ-2A $4995
This one looks perfectly find. The price doesn’t seem that outrageous.
“1946 Willys C-J2A spruce green all original condition, partially restored with new canvas removable top – runs and drives – $4,995”
1948 CJ-2A $11,500
This one doesn’t look like it is in great condition. There’s no reason to think it is worth $11,500.
“1948 Willys C-J2A signal red fully restored and in great condition – $11,500– Firm”
The seller says the winch is a PTO, but that looks like a Warn winch to me? Looks like some rust in the steps.
“either a cj2a or cj3a, has artic top, everything seems to be original. motor looks rebuilt. its been in the family for 12 years. has what i think is called an artic top, has pto winch.have title, email with any questions”
That roll bar just isn’t working for me. I’m a sucker for the old slot aluminum rims, as many of you know.
“Nice old Jeep, lots of work done, needs a little more… Can’t get all the pics to load, come by & see it at 6653 Mallard St, San Diego, Ca 92114. (619) 264-1940”
