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 .
Seller calls this a jeep, but it looks more like a Landrover (which didn’t appear in Jurassic Park, according to both my memory and this website). But, you never know when something this unusual will appeal to someone.

“Jurassic Park jeep replica no drive train built more as a prop/yard art or as a kids toy would make a great prop for photography”
Looks in good shape, though needs ‘tuning’ of some kind.

“We have a 1947 Willy’s jeep. It has a few things that need tuned on it but for the most part is good to go. I used it for a little while back and forth on the highway. It’s a super fun little rig”
This has a fiberglass body.

“This Jeep starts, runs and drives. Fiberglass body tub and fenders. Windshield, hood and grill are OE. 12v conversion. Minimal frame rust and no apparent cracks. New fuel tank. Brand new full manual set. Hand brake doesn’t work. Needs tires and shocks. Oil seeping in several places from the drive train. When I purchased this Jeep, I was told the brakes and the clutch had been replaced. I have not verified that, but the brake lines have been replaced and the backing plates are solid. The clutch does not slip or chatter. The roll bar is only for appearance.”
UPDATE: New Ad.
(06/19/2023) Here’s a rare lengthened CJ-2A that’s been repainted since we last saw it. The new paint does make it look better.

“I’m looking to sell my 1947 stretched CJ2A this was stretched by a dealership back in the day. I bought this off a ranch in Michigan where it’s been since new. This Jeeps runs and drives I just replaced the brakes on this Jeep. Looking to get 7000 located in vermilion Ohio”
This is supposed to run and drive. Current bid is $500 (4 days to go).

1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A Clean Title, owned for about 10 years. Mainly storage kept but less than 500 miles since putting the motor in. 3 speed with overdrive V6 rebuilt motor that came out of a 1979 Buick Skylark. Clutch replaced with motor. Dana 18 transfer case and T90 Transmission Just rebuilt the radiator New alternator just installed as well. All 4 Tires have great tread including spare. Brand new We do have the back seat and front.

My takeaway on this one is, it’s the first I’ve heard of the town of Hasty, Colorado.

“1948 jeep willy civilian clean title numbers matching engine and transmission gears complete does not run at moment but some tlc will make great project serious offers”
Bill spotted this wagon that currently has no bids. There looks like some parts value here.
https://www.copart.com/lot/59595153/clean-title-1962-american-motors-jeep-tx-houston
Another “Last Ride” candidate for today. I’ve not seeing much but scrap value here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3557110477843386
“1940s Jeep Cj. No title. Bill of sale only. It is rough but it can be saved. Would make a great ratrod. No engine but trans and t case are still there. Just trying to thin out the heard too many projects. Will trade for good running generator, truck bed tool boxes that mount on flatbed, 100 Gallon skinny fuel tank.”
Price is a stretch given it doesn’t run.

“Has a rare hard top doesn’t run mileage unknown”
Bill shard the victim of a fire. Not much value, though it has a Salvage title and some Warn hubs. Maybe someone needs those items?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
(06/21/2022) This is a this running jeep. The body has some rust.
“1946 Willy’s jeep cj2a
Starts, runs, drives, stops
Yellow with black racing stripes
Way too much to list. Just give me a call.
NO TITLE. BILL OF SALE.
There is a very easy, legit, and fully legal way to obtain title for this jeep. If you’re interested, I’ll gladly tell you how.
A brief rundown about this jeep:
It sat in a while in a field at the original owner’s property. I don’t know exactly how long. I was told it was in a shed.
It was VERY not running when I got it.
There was very clearly some work work/maintenance done to it however..
What I have done over the past 2 years:
I was going to make this into a plow vehicle, but have decided to stick with my atv.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/30/2023) Little known about this 2A, but it seems to have potential. I don’t see any obvious rust.

“Listing for family. 1947 CJ2A needs a new home. Very little is known about it. Looks to be mostly complete and appears that it was driven in to the shop where it currently resides. Is currently in Republic.”
Maybe someone up north can use this?

“For sale 1953cj3b body tub, in very good condition, does need floor pan patching but under structure not bad. windshield frame in fantastic condition. and tail gate dented but not rusty. A very workable body. I do have a workable set of front fenders I’ll through in. Located in Northbattleford Saskatchewan canada. 1200. Or trade for complete soft top and doors for cj2a”
Jan was kind enough to share this rare brochure from Farmcraft, LTD, another seller of refurbished WWII jeeps. I’ve seen the Burleigh in another ad from 1949, but the text (as best as I could read) did not mention Farmcraft. A Hemmings article shared a pic of the Burleigh, and mentioned Farmcraft. I suspect Farmcraft partnered with, bought out or evolved from Burleigh.
It is a little more orangey in person. These pics are pulling more red.
Over the past two days I put four coats of rattle-can Kubota Orange paint on the front clip and body (inside a temporary paint booth in the shop). Normally when I paint I use the proper tools, get proper paints, etc. But, the last time I sprayed a jeep was about 14 years ago. I thought, just maybe, naively optimistically, spray can paint tech had improved….
Moreover, one of the upsides of spray can tech is that if there is damage, you can easily get a can to cover up any issues. Since this was to be a temporary paint job, I figured I’d be a guinea pig and see how it turns out.
Well, I can assure you the paint job sucks. While I really like the color, the shine is uneven, there are several runs (despite trying to achieve light coats), and still I can see a slight bit of background color behind the orange. In fact, I found it more difficult, more messy, and stickier to use the cans than paint with a spray gun. Lesson learned!
Thankfully, spectators are usually 30 feet or more away from the track, so I’m sure no one will notice (except when lined up in the rare queue).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500. We visited James in 2011 when this jeep was his.
Looks like a good price.
“1950 CJ3 includes an extra set of tires and many extra parts. Was used in several parades a few years ago and parked. I haven’t tried to start it recently. I will also double check mileage and update listing.”
Blaine shared this nice looking CJ-5. Is that the Arena Yellow color from the 1956 color chart?

“Restored 1956 Willys jeep. this jeep is original as the day it was built. It has been in the family since new, was my grandfathers, I am retiring and need to downsize. The restoration was completed in 2008 and has about 500 miles.”
Appears worth a look.

“1954 Willy’s cj3b for sale. 134 f head four cylinder, twin stick transfer case, three speed manual tranny, tow bar and a roll bar if interested. Believe it’s fairly original except the front bumper and warn hubs. Floors are in very good shape as is inside the tool box. Been sitting a while but did get it to fire dumping gas down the carb. Needs some love but overall a good representation of a high hood Willy’s.”
This was listed at only $5000. It sold within a few hours on Facebook. The seller has four more to sell (condition unknown) and a variety of FC parts.

Originally white, this CJ-5 looks solid.
“This is a very nice 1962 Willys CJ5. Runs great, motor has been checked over and new rod and main bearings have been installed.
Steering box was rebuilt. Clutch is good, brakes are good. Body is in very good condition with just one small patch on the passenger side floor over a support channel (support channel has approx 3-4″ of rust). Interior of the tool box has some surface rust, no rust through. No frame issues.
Looks like original condition other than it was painted red over the original white, no modifications. Seats are in good condition, probably recovered in the past, no tears. New glove box insert. This would be an easy restoration or have fun with it as is.”
I’ve never heard of using Suzuki Sidekick brakes on a jeep.
