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 .
The Suttons entered their jeep into an antique auto parade and came away with a trophy. It might not be a pristine antique vehicle, but it sure looks like they are enjoying it!

Could be a good price.

Nice frame off restoration of a 1964 DJ-3A. You can see it has a gov tag on the dash.
“1964 Willys DJ3A Jeep, government issue. Original 4-cylinder flathead. Body off restoration, low miles. Body was media blasted, then heat-primed like factory before light body work and paint.

Has a variety of updates. May have a replacement body that’s a mix of an MB and CJ.

“1946 Willy’s V-6 runs needs some work”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
What are the protruding discs on each side of the jeep’s cowl?
“Jeep has been in family for about 40 years. All stock type running gear but probably not original. Runs and drives great with recent total rebuild of brake system due to long time storage. Clean California title, currently on non-op.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
“This is a 1955 M38A1 in very good condition. very clean inside and out, it has been stored in a warehouse since its purchase in 2014. this is a 24v system with a clean generator, newer brake lines, and carb. Would be very nice to add to the collection or to take in a parade. It has 40,334 miles on the vehicle. Killswitch added to keep form any draw on the batteries/keep it from getting stolen. asking 10K or best reasonable offer. ”
Looks like a solid jeep with some updates, but it’s not “a well-preserved example of a CJ-2A”. IT may have a military body.
https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/d/1943-willys/6620078984.html
“This is an excellent, well preserved example of a cj2a Willys Jeep. Original Go Devil flathead engine, 3speed t-90 with overdrive! Odometer reads just a few ticks past 20,000 miles. I have three sets of tires for it, and price is negotiable depending on which tires are sold with it. It has a soft top, and doors. I also have a roll bar for it. It comes with a bumper pull hitch so you can flat tow it behind your truck or rv. This jeep is the real deal. It does exactly what it was built to do. I’m about 90% sure the engine has never been taken apart. 12 volt battery.”
Might be a good price. Has a few updates.

“1946 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A, original flathead 4-cyl, 3-speed and 4X4, solid floors,
12 volt with alternator, steers hard, needs steering gear rebuilt or replaced, engine, trans,
and clutch all work smooth, clean title, current licensed, fun ride!”
The body looks to be DJ, but the pics aren’t good enough to tell much more than that. It’s still 2WD, but not clear if that’s due to a lack of a front drive line or lack of a front R&P.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
(11/11/2017) It hasn’t been washed in 40 years!
“1949 Willys CJ3A Fire Engine Jeep. This is a Boyer conversion. This jeep is very complete, original, and unrestored. This jeep has less less than 3200 miles on the odometer. Lots of the original accessories are still place. I understand that some of the nozzles are collectible.
The jeep has been in long term storage since it was taken out of service in 1980. The jeep is not currently running but the engine is not stuck. It will turn over by hand. The jeep was driven into the storage building that I found it in. I bought this jeep from the first civilian owner. Since this is an all original jeep, I have done nothing to it. I have not even washed the nearly 40 years of dust off of it. You are getting a very complete and untouched original fire engine jeep here. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I’m pretty sure I’ve done a post on this car in the past, but I can’t find it at the moment.
