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: Pics now available.
iNo pics, but it has a rear PTO. I can’t imagine there isn’t value here.

“Willis Jeep. Have some new parts. All original. F- Head engine. Rear PTO. Text for pics and information”
UPDATE: still Available.
The serial number indicates this is a 1950 CJ-3A. It’s unclear why the title lists it as a 1946. This has a Sears-branded Deluxe hardtop and EasyLok hubs.
https://rockford.craigslist.org/cto/d/caledonia-willys-jeep-1950-cj3a/7551364386.html
“CJ3A – 48114- which by numbers is a 53 yet title says 46. Restore started – frame has been POR, engine was gone through. Body very solid. The tool box top is gone and this is worst corroded part of floor. Has heater and all trans/transfer case are there inside the cab. L 134 engine. Steering box is shot. Tub has a repair to outer panel under passenger door you can see some rivets in the pic. Hardtop is all aluminum the brown material you see is old insulation falling off. Some Floor panels I can Facetime video for a real full inspection.
Possibly delivery/ meet half way. If you have a Jeep/Willys I would consider some trade towards a 65-69 Jeep.
I also can offer possibly delivery or a half way meet up for a reasonable price.
More pictures available on request.
Clean open Kansas title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Runs, but doesn’t shift into gear.
“If your looking at this add most likely you know a bit about these old jeeps and maybe even a bit about the Bantam trailer that goes with.
The Jeep runs but the transmission won’t go into gear, however it does roll so it’s not stuck in gear. It seems mostly original albeit some repairs done over the last 75 years. It needs attention at every point so it’s a good candidate for a restore I think. I’ve got a green title for it.
The trailer is an old Bantam with some repairs over the last 70+ years, new tires it appears but not title. Can issue a bill of sale if needed.
I’m keen to sell both as a combination but am willing to separate if one desires and the terms are agreeable.
If add is up I’ve got it, I’m wary of scammers.”
Unclear how much value is here.

(10/21/2022) It’s got an f-head and needs brakes.

“Jeep Willys cj2a, approximately 1947, runs smoothly, 4wd, needs brakes. Would make a nice farm vehicle or trail rider.”

Bilil spotted this rare CJ-5/Camper for sell. It’s listed as a 1966, but that seems to be an error given the large grille lights, which made their appearance in 1969, as did the camper.

“Super rare jeep camper, original, needs engine and restoration, great project for someone who wants to rebuild and maybe make a tiny home that disconnects from the jeep”
This 1975 tri-fold brochure from San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours out of Ouray, Colorado, doesn’t show and FC Tour Jeeps, but it does have a wide photo that includes a Wagon Tour Jeep. Below the brochure is the front and back of a Scenic Jeep Tour postcard that features a wagon.
Here is the postcard I mentioned:
A few different people shared this jeep sign highlighting Roy Evan’s connection with the town of Bartow, Georgia. I didn’t know about the sign when we were in Georgia in 2018. We weren’t too far from it on our trip.
Roger Martin spotted this custom pull toy, though the build was also planning to add a cooler to it. Maybe someone else has a vision for it?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3383456678532607
“Custom made pull wagon. Holds two kids. Hood opens. Was planning to install a cooler in it. $400 obo No trades”
This looks like a very nice build.

(02/20/2022) This fiberglass body may be the 3B Bobcat version. It’s got the wide brim in the back and the long steps. But, it is difficult to tell for sure.

If you want to replace your Kayline doors, this might be an option.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/7550912155.html
“Here is a pair of near perfect Kayline fabric Jeep doors
that were occasionally on my CJ3A. I believe they
will also fit the CJ2A models.
These have the zippered windows and a large pocket
on the inside. Handles inside and outside are included.
They were seldom on my Jeep so are in near perfect
condition, only needing a little cleaning.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.
(02/01/2022) Listed as a 1949, the serial number for the chassis is near the end of the 1948 production run. This lacks an engine. The hardtop does appear custom.
https://missoula.craigslist.org/cto/7548756707.html
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. $2000/obo. Sincere, old Montana jeep, surprisingly rust-free body, some bondo. No motor. Title (Helena, 1971); title says 1949 but I was informed the serial number is 1948 production. Unique, custom, well-built, steel full cab, therefore no original windshield frame or tailgate. Floors minor rust-out, bed very solid and straight, toolbox replaced. Some metal sheeting tacked on exterior of body. Original radiator and toolbox lid included. 16” rims, tires have air but need replaced”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/02/022) These hubs look similar to Cutlas Bulldog hubs, but the design of the mid-section sides just below the “knob” is shaped slightly different (larger side scallops) than the image on the Bulldog brochure. Given the two section design, I will guess that these were a transition hub from the Cutlas Model 100-2 conical design to the later Bulldog hub design? Anyone have insights on these? I don’t have a brochure for these.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/pts/7555714076.html
“Cutlas lock hubs, 10 spline for old jeeps and scouts. May trade for ammunition or towards firearms. No reloads!”
Bulldog example:
Here is another example in my archives. I also labeled these, perhaps incorrectly, “Bulldog” hubs:
I just discovered this set of Cutlas hubs for Chevys on eBay. They look like Bulldog hubs, but have no scallops at all along the mid section’s side:
UPDATE: Check on out this recent video that shares more information about this year’s Concord Cup.

Andy spotted this truck with a rare electric lift gate.

“Rare find. Electric tale gate. Truck runs. Titled. Some rust. Or the best offer.”
This seems a handy vehicle. Looks rust free, too.

“1942 Ford GPW Script. This is one of the first GPW’s made, and it still has its GPW script on the back. The windshield is not stock, and neither are the seats. The dash is in good shape except it has a hole for an aftermarket radio in it, and the floor was clearanced for a larger transmission. The vehicle has a slight body lift, along with very rare Rancho lift springs. It has a flanged Dana 44 rear end. The frame is fully boxed, and a dual exhaust system is ran from from the engine bay to the back. My best guess is this vehicle is set up for a flathead V8. The serial number is visible, however there is no title for the vehicle. Overall it’s in great condition. The original paint is under the white. No engine/transmission/transfer case. (Wheels and tires pictured not included)”
