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 .
Rough.

“No documents – selling as is. $1200 or best offer, but go this weekend. Unsure of year, assuming 1948-1954.”

“I have done a lot of work to this little jeep. I swapped in a Buick odd fire 231 v6 that runs good. I custom built the headers and exhaust so it is tight fitting and clears everything. The clutch is new and has Novak hydraulic clutch slave. The brakes have been gone through and has a new master on swinging pedals. The tranny (t-90) and t-case (d18) have been completely rebuilt. I rebuilt the front dana 27. The rear axle is a Dana 44 with posi. New u-joints in both drive shafts. All new brake lines and hoses from master to new wheel cylinders.
New custom wiring harness from American Autowire. The tub is not 100% but has been repaired in several areas and has a new floor. It has a saginaw power steering box. Although the hoses are not attached, it steers great. I do have the P/S engine bracket and used pump. All of the lights and turn signals work and the rear lights are LED. New fuel tank and sender. Seat from CJ3A. Lots of other little stuff done. I do have another CJ2A as parts if interested and two spare 225 engines.”
UPDATE: Derek did the initial research and writeup on this project, correctly identifying it as a CJ-2A. Check out the pre-restoration pics and info here: http://cj3b.info/Fire/NewSalem.html
The folks at the New Salem Fire Department near Albany, New York, recently ‘restored’ what they call a “CJ-2B Attack Engine”. And, to be fair, I suppose this CJ-2A has undergone some major changes. Perhaps it should be relabeled a 1948 CJ-2RC (Riot Control) jeep?

TJ shared this cool 1972 Salem (Oregon) Mud Bowl Poster he go from a friend of his, Ken, who used to race jeeps in the Pacific Northwest. That’s Ken in the photo.
Craig shared this one. It looks like a good price.

“1949 Willys Overland CJ3-A
Free and clear title- newly assigned state vin number, original vin tag was gone.
3 Stick Trannie/transfer – T-90 / Dana 18 as far as I can tell.
Early 90’s 305 SBC from a Camaro, according to the casting numbers, I was told, besides the cheap walmart battery, which is mounted in the rear, the engine starts and purrs great. I rewired the majority of the Jeep with Weatherpack connectors. Part of the reason I am getting rid of it is because, I am more of a blue oval fan, which would have been much more gentle on the firewall (distributor would have been in the CORRECT spot!) and if I did keep it, I would surely destroy my perfect driving record, well at least for the last decade. This Jeep has a s@#$load of power and should not be taken likely!!!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Includes a variety of extra parts.
“All original 1951 Willy’s M38. This is not the civilian version. This is the military version with 24V wiring system, fully boxed frame, and water-proof wiring harness. Original Willy’s flathead 134 engine, transmission, and transfer case. Included are many parts to start the restoration including all new gauges with wiring, new voltage regulator, new gaskets, and much much more. Over $4,500 invested. The jeep is not currently running or driving. It will serve as the perfect candidate for a full restoration. Clean Texas title in hand.
I bought this jeep with the intention of a frame-off restoration, but I have many other projects and this one has been neglected. I am sad to see it go, but I just don’t have the time to devote to it. Message with any questions or to set up a time to come take a look. Asking $3,000.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7900
(04/16/2018) Interesting hood design.
“377 cubic inch stroker motor pro built.high and lowrange transfer case. 400 hp quick 19,034 miles all new or rebuilt.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Thanks to Chris for sharing this one.
“Have a nice little fc150 for sale I hate to part it out it is a very unique little truck has the factory radio which is beyond rare. All the glass is good except for the wing windows. Has typical damage for an FC but the rear cab corners are in pretty good condition and most of the rust is isolated to the front floorboards wh.ich is fairly common. I’m asking $3,000 for it as is if you want it for any less than that I will for sure be keeping the radio. Does not have a title will be sold on a bill of sale.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/02/2017) Has lots of updates.

Might have some value.

“1946 jeep needs some work. Ran when parked but someone got the carburetor.frame is good Its been sitting for several years. We just don’t have the health or time to fix it. Would co sixer doing some track g on anything.tell me what you have.priced cheap to sale”
Not sure how much value is here.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/d/jeep-cj3/6564674495.html
“Don’t make me turn this into a yard art planter. 1952 Willys Model I believe, but with a slightly later F134 OHV Hurricane engine. Pto transmission.
Drivetrain is complete – interior is your open canvas! No serious rust, very solid. I do have two foldable seats you can also have if you like. Thought I wanted a cool project but then reality caught up. I did get it cleaned up and running – sounded great – but just don’t have the facilities/tools/know how at this time to continue. Wishful thinking! NO TITLE NO TITLE NO TITLE! Call/text or come have a look but please don’t waste my time. There will be no email/internet nonsense, cash in person only.”
No title.

“No title no title no title has been used on a farm for the last 15 or so years has sat for the last 3 or 4 Will need gas tank cleaned out runs if you pour gas in the carburetor Buick V6 fiberglass front clip 31-inch tires nice Tires and Wheels”
That looks more like a Sears DeLuxe hardtop rather than an Arctic top. Sure looks like there’s value here.
