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 $3500.
It’s a bit pricey for a project, but it does have one of those rare back extenders on it.
“This is a project vehicle I’m not able to finish. Civilian model, All parts included; Pickup bed, trailor hitch, 1/2 metal cab w/ doors, all glass. Asking $3,500 please call with any questions”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
It’s a bit rough. I can’t tell if there’s just some surface rust or if it is worse than that.
“

The console looks a little unusual. I’d like a closer look to see what they have done. It appears to go underneath the seats.
“Very nice 1952 WILLYS JEEP, NO RUST,NO DENTS, Runs Great, New starter, New Fuel pump, New rebuilt carb, New Extra set tires,P/S, New Rag top in box, TOW BAR, Light bar,,Extras,Fold down windshield

UPDATE: Still Available
It appears the tailgate has been eliminated. Apparently, this sports an Olds V-6. I haven’t seen a buick v6 with the alternator swapped to the driver’s side, though I suppose it is possible.
“All steel body, Olds V6. All stock running gear. New battery, rebuild carb ( 08-09) P/S. Manual brakes. Runs fine. Full roll cage. Old AM/FM/cassete and CB. (speakers are in a box, not installed.) Warn winch (not in photos) now mounted. Doors included. New spare. 408-988-0668”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $975
This looks like a very good deal on a vintage looking IH.
“1969 IH Travelall 1100 (1/2 ton 2×4). Runs, drives, registered. AC, PS, 392 V8, 4 spd, and limited-slip type differential. Straight and solid. No door mirrors. Will consider parting-out.

Please make certain to reference the truck so that I can discern legitimate email from spam.”
UPDATE: There was some interest in the Capstan winch from David’ part’s jeep that I featured the other day. Here’s some additional views of it.
You can still find parts for Capstan winches here, though they are out of the Capstan kits (which cost $2,650). Brian also runs a ‘Capstan’s for sale’ page, but appears all sold out at the moment. And here’s a little nautical history of the Capstan winch from wikipedia. And here’s some info from the CJ-3B page on the Ramsey Capstan Winch, including some pics of the brochure.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
This appears to have been carefully rebuilt. Looks good.
“Rebuilt power train (134 engine, 3spd transmission, transfer case, differentials) and suspension, tilt steering wheel, roll bar, custom bumpers, digital gauges, more pictures available”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
“New Motor,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This looks like a very good deal considering the quality of trailer.
“1959 Model CJ-3B running hunting jeep with custom trailer and winch; new jeep tires and spare; heavy roll bar with horizontal gun racks; body is in good condition and jeep runs; custom trailer is tandem axle with ramps, spare battery pocket and lights; original hurricane engine with electric fuel pump added”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

No dents, rust, or cancer. 4WD and runs great. Stock 4cyl. flathead. Needs new tires and seat covers. Steering wheel is cracked.

Not a bad price for a running DJ-3A.
“1957 willys jeep runs good needs work on brakes an steering an lights to be road worthy 4×4 works good also 704 450 1693”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
I think new paint would help this VEC tremendously. The seller claims to have all the column shift parts.
“
1946 willys cj2a jeep, serial number 25786, engine number 26797 (4cyl) original. This jeep starts and runs but is not an everyday driver. The 4 wheel drive works in high and low. The jeep blows a little smoke and needs some brake work. The fenders, hood and frame are in good shape with no rust through that I can see and very little surface rust. If you were going to restore the jeep you would probably have to get a new tub. The tub it has now has rust through in the floor and is very rough. I have lots of extra parts that will go with the jeep, this includes: A NEW WIRING HARNESS (IN THE BOX), TRANSMISSIONS AND TRANSFER CASES, GASKETS, AND A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. (there are more parts that I am not going to list) This jeep has a very low serial number and was originally a column shifter. It was converted to a floor shifter but I think that I have all of the parts to change it back.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
The seller lists both 1951 and 1952 as the years of this jeep.
“1951 willys m38 original with windshield,missing radiator,fan,batteries,stored last 8 years in my shop since early 80’s in a barn,never restored,no money need cash but wont give last flat fender”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
This looks like a good price to me.
“NICE JEEP, NEEDS SOME THINGS TO GET STREET LEAGAL. TITLE IN HAND, FIRES UP WITH NO HESATATION. I DO HAVE THE STOCK WHEELS WITH TIRES, AND A ROLLBAR THAT WAS JUST POWDER COATED AND HAVE NOT YET RE-INSTALED……………. MUST SELL………..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
This looks like a great price. Extra’s include front disc brakes and lockers.
“if you’ve been looking for a fun and unique summer toy, or for a great little trail jeep, then this just might be what you’ve been waiting for. i bought this for 4-wheeling, but also to take to work on nice days and to take my girlfriend out to ice cream, and it quickly turned into a not-so-secret love affair that she was not all that happy about, but tolerated it anyway. the frame is in great shape, and the body is in pretty good shape, considering its a 62 year old New England vehicle….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
“1947 cj2a runs good, brakes gone through, electrical re-wired 12volt and ungraded to fuse box, new guages ,turn signals-lights-brake lights all work.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1300
There’s some odd points in the body on the passenger side and I can’t tell if that’s the lighting, rust, or paint. This doesn’t run.
“I have a 1952 Willys Jeep for sale. It has the original flathead 4 cylinder motor in it. It is 4 wheel drive. Comes with the half cab and doors. Would make a great project! Does not run. Asking $1400 Please contact Matt with BMB Auto Sales at 573-424-3144 for more information, Thanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
“I bought the car in 1998, and I spent six years restoring it down to the frame. I have most, if not all receipts, amounting to roughly $28,000 investment, but truthfully it was as much a hobby project as it was a toy after the fact. A few years ago I was offered 30k for it, but I just couldn’t part with it at the time. I don’t drive it much. It stays garaged except for the weekly ’round the block drive. It had an early 60’s 265 cid, I replaced it with a 1972 327cid – 350 HP motor (from a corvette) overhauled by Greulich of Scottsdale (builder of professional grade racing engines.. several have powered winning racing machines at Firebird Raceway and elsewhere)….”
Here’s a clean, good looking cj-2a.
“1948 Jeep CJ2A Completely restored. Must See! Call Brett at 414-762-7773

UPDATE: Price dropped to $350. I doubt this was ever a Gala, but it does seem to be a DJ-3A. **SOLD**
The price is right! This seems like a deal to me.
“
We our selling a 1960 Willys DJ-3A Surrey Gala. We bought it mainly for the body to build a rock crawler out of it. The origional color was pink. It has a CJ-2A windshield on it with an old Aluminum Hardtop (rare). This is a normal left hand drive 2wd Willys Jeep. The front axle is a straight axle and rides on leaf springs just like the 4wd Jeeps. It has a motor, but is missing many of the parts like the oil pan, head, etc. It is the Go devil Flathead 4 backed by a 3spd manual column shift trans with OverDrive. Since this is a DJ3A the rear of the Jeep is solid with no tail gate, this is factory. It does have all of the steering pieces and as a whole is pretty darn complete. Feel free to come check it out and make us an offer. The frame is in very good shape and the tub would easily be restorable. The floors are even in pretty good shape. The hood is probably the worst part (dented). These are very rare and it has all of its factory serial data plates. Comes with only a bill of sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700.
The seller notes, “I swapped in a good running L134 and generally cleaned everything up. runs great now and is still for sale.”
“1947 Willys CJ2A, all electrical works aside from wiper motor. Has good seats front and rear,roll cage,12 volt sys,front mounted steering box,2 gas tanks,5 new tires on white spokes,tow bar,GM tilt steering.This Jeep was from AZ, so there’s very little rust and no dents. I just installed a recently rebuilt L head engine and this truck runs great.”
UPDATE: A reader noted that this has already sold
It is very rare to see one of these in such poor condition.
“Elvis owned one. 1960 Pink surrey gala jeep. Condition restorable original parts. Bought in May 1978. odometer reading 20,000. Engines apart but complete. $3,ooo or best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This might be a good price. The body appears in good condition.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep for Sale, The originator of the SUV/4 Wheeler Craze….all original. Flathead 4, fold down windshield-good glass, tail gate, removable tow bar, 6 volt electrical system-needs battery. Stored inside for several years.
