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 .
This jeep was upgraded with a few chrome elements.

“1953 Willys Jeep runs and drives”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500
(08/24/2019) Appears to be missing a few gauges, but looks solid.
https://bend.craigslist.org/pts/d/powell-butte-1947-willys-jeep-cj2a/7221277632.html
“Stock 4 cyl flathead 3 speed. Rancho springs. New fuel pump and master cylinder. Runs good. $8000 OBO.”
Listed as a 1945 CJ-2A, it’s got a replacement body.
https://mendocino.craigslist.org/cto/d/glenhaven-1945-willys-jeep-cj2a-v8/7220790899.html
“Great running little CJ flat fender Jeep. Driveable now but will require some final tinkering to put it back on the road – electrical for lights, blinks, gauges, brakes bled, decent seats and the tires are good but checked. Optima battery pictured NOT included with the sale. Has spent some time on the Coast so a little blistering here and there on the body but not terrible. 4 point roll cage included with the sale. All and all a cool project for someone with the hard work being done. Good title on current non op. $4200. Trades considered (no boats or bikes please)”
This refurbed 2A looks solid. It lacks drain holes, but the body seems in good shape and nicely repaired (if that’s the case). It lacks the original hood and the front gussets are missing, too. The truck behind it looks very nice.

“All redone. Everything works as it should. Great summer ride. CJ-2A”

“1947 Jeep CJ2A…..fiberglass tub, 283 corvette motor , 3 speed w/ overdrive….new tranny, new clutch/ pressure plate , new throw out bearing ,new bell housing…new wiring through out ….Radio/cassette player….winch with attachment kit…..runs and drives great , a true diamond in the rough…..need space, too many toys. Will consider all offers”
Seller has begun disassembly on this, so it’s a project at this point.
https://reno.craigslist.org/cto/d/reno-1948-jeep-cj2a-military-jeep/7226468971.html
“Bought this a few months ago it ran and drove. It is an absolute blast to drive, like a cross between a tractor and a gokart… I took it around the neighborhood and to the grocery store a few times down the street, then started to prep to remove the tub to fix some rust on the floor panels. There are kits sold online that you just weld in place to make it a fairly siple repair.
I didn’t get very far, removed some body bolts, undid the dash wiring (all clearly labeled for easy re-assembly) You could put it all bag together and just drive it as is without issue, my plan was a full restoration but quickly realizing I do not have the time.

I imagine a good deal of cash was spent on this restoration/refurb.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/755084465357113/
“This is a frame off restoration. Everything has been gone over. Engine and transmission have been rebuilt. It’s a all matching numbers. 4 wheel drive works, has overdrive. Must be seen. She’s a beauty.”
Seller is moving and must let it go.
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/sacramento-1943-willys-jeep-cj2/7224294733.html
“This jeep is my baby, the registration is up-to-date, I drive it multiple times a week. It has the original willys engine and manual transmission that came with it. It runs great, and a head turner everywhere I go. I am letting go of it because I am moving. I am selling the jeep for $17000 or OBO”
Looks like a fair price. The seller saved this from a crusher.
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/sacramento-austin-champ-jeep-4×4/7224973471.html

UPDATE: **SOLD** in 2020. Rudy noted that this was sold at auction in 2014.
(07/05/2019) Craig shared this nice looking Jeepney. It’s got a number of cool details, including a map of the midwest painted on the ceiling. Listed as a 1946, I couldn’t say for sure if that year is accurate or not.
“1946 F-134, T-90 3 speed, if you want a vehicle to take to the car and Jeep shows that will always bring a smile and draw a crowd this is it!! Super rare to find in this country, Jeepneys were made after WWII when we left our Jeeps in the Philippines, the people there were very crafty and creative, they turned the WWII Army Jeeps into colorful people haulers, there are only a few in this country, here is your chance for a cool vehicle for your collection that is guaranteed to stand out.”
The Ventura County Star-Free Press published an article on the new FC-150 Jeep in the December 04, 1956, issue of the paper.
This July 11, 1947, ad was published in the Weekly Times-Advocate by Willys-Overland dealer Collins and Sharp out of Escondido, California.
The starting bid price is $49.99, but shipping is estimated at $132.70. If you can pick up locally, this could e a good price.

“Kaiser Supersonic 741422 Willys Jeep Head. It has been in storage for a long time. I’m unaware of fitment details but from what I’ve read online I see them on 1940-50’s Jeeps but once again I do not know for sure. Sorry.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.
Looks in good shape.
“VERY RARE Jeep FC-150 that will get nothing but stares. This restored 1959 Jeep FC150 is a blast to drive, with a manual transmission and a 4cyl gas motor this truck is sure to bring a smile to your face. Full time 4 wheel drive takes away the worry about getting stuck. Has a fresh paint job (done 2018) and brand new seats (done 2020) new tires, new rims, and a fresh tune up on the motor as well as a new battery.
The bed does have some small rust holes in the bed and above windshield that could be easily fixed. The truck does have some bondo (as to be expected by a 61 year old truck) Other than that, this truck is very clean. No rust on frame at all. You won’t find another truck like this! These trucks are becoming very hard to come by, let alone in this good of condition.”
This has an unusual hardtop.

“Decided to sell my 1946 Willys Jeep. This little jeep runs and drives like a 1946 willys jeep should. The only known issues the fuel filter plugs every once and a while. The gas tank needs to be rinsed out.Could also use a radiator cap I did order one but I am not sure when it will arrive. I only drive it a few miles now and then so it was just not a priority I guess. Shifts good in all gears 4×4 works great. Tires are old look to be original military tires? This jeep was converted to 12 volt and has a new battery. I just dont drive it so decided to pass it on to someone else. Very solid jeep for its age. There is just a minor spots on both sides below the doors. This is pretty common and the patch panels are super cheap. I will get some more pictures and add them tomorrow. Clear title in my name.. I can store this jeep for a few months as long as it is paid for in full with in 5 days of auctions end.”
Here’s another Texas hunting jeep.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/764060647680955/
“Great hunting lease Jeep! 1977 CJ5 Renegade with safari seats on the back and the front. Has run well for a year but it has trouble starting and backfires now. I am not a mechanic but I am guessing it runs very rich as I had to replace the fuel pump and I don’t know how to adjust the carb. Purchased a year ago but I changed to a lease that is better for a smaller vehicle. Open to trade for a side by side or the like. Added 4 LED spot lights, replaced the windshield, comes with a spare tire, replaced the front passenger seat (it was worn through) with a rally seat, replaced gas pump, replaced winch controller (it works) includes a rear seat that could be mounted under the safari seats. Unknown mileage. I have the signed title from when I bought it, just never transferred to my name.”
Runs.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/778185066361044/
“Runs great. New break lines, wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Rebuilt transmission. New carburetor and all fluids recently replaced”
Unclear which Portland city this served.

S”elling my dream project. Tough times require tough decisions. This is a 1952 M-38 Willys Jeep. 4WD miracle. RUNS AND DRIVES, doesn’t stop great. Brand new clutch. Comes with extras, and a $50 gift card to the Jeep parts store I never got to use! Serous inquiry only, please no tire-kickers. Almost all original. Started life as a Korean war jeep, then went on to be used for the fire dept in Portland. You can see the OD green under the red FD paint. Very cool and nostalgic.

Adil Jal Darukhanawala wrote a 332-page book on the Mahindra Jeep history and production. The photographs I’ve seen so far are beautiful; it looks like Adil has created a quality product. I have purchased a copy and will review it later this month.
One reviewer of the book notes it contains a variety of interesting information bits, including how a few CJ-5s reached India (thanks to the Pakistani Army). I also like the comment that the jeep was the ‘greatest free sample in automotive history’, an important insight as tens of thousands of jeeps were left by allies all over the world. It looks like an interesting, detailed book.
The book can purchased directly from the author at https://www.adiljal.com
Here’s a review of the book from EVO India –The Thrill of Driving: https://www.evoindia.com/features/car-features/timeless-mahindra-book-review
