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: Still Available.

“I have a 1949 CJ3A Jeep for sale. It runs and drives, has a blue bonded title. I got the parts to start the brakes, but haven’t installed them yet. It’s not a rust bucket and would be fine on a ranch as-is, but it needs work. It would be a fun project for someone who has the room and the mechanical ability for a do it yourself project. I am firm on the price.”
If this were near me, I’d pick it up in a second.

“waiting to be restored—-1950 Jeep CJ 3 with PTO
runs”
I had hoped to have the race jeep all done by now so I could take it to the Moonshiner’s payday in Glenwood, but not this year. The priority shifted to Ann’s garden. She’s been such a big supporter of my jeep craziness over the years, that building her this garden was the least I could do. Now that the weather has cooled back down to normal temps, I should have the trip work around the pagoda and boxes done in the next couple of days.
The other thing that has slowed things down has been some weird health glitches. Hopefully, we have those issues under control and that won’t slow me down (for a while anyway).
Yesterday I finished up the seat mounts and the seat belt mounts on the racer. Next, the overhead dashboard needs finishing, but that is nearly done. After that, the side bars need mounting and the mud flaps setup. After that, the body and hood mounts need to be added. There are a few places that need some cleaning (read grinding) on the chassis, but otherwise it should be ready to clean and paint. So, almost there …
This looks like a good price.

“Very original 1951 Willys Jeep. Mechanical restoration includes: New radiator, brake system, fuel system . this is a great example of an original jeep that has not been modified.
Asking $8000. I have all the parts receipts. Includes soft top and tow bar”
Seems worth a look at this price.
https://prescott.craigslist.org/cto/d/prescott-1948-willys-cj2a/7624176506.html
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. $5000 Priced for a quick sale. Runs great and mechanically sound. Has original engine which was rebuilt by prior owner who used it as a hunting vehicle. I have put less than 100 miles on it since I’ve owned it for the past decade. It’s been garage kept under my ownership. Transfer case shifts smoothly.

Has battery disconnect key switch inside fender well in case you need to roam far from it in the woods. Call Mark for more details.”
Narrow body racer with 6 extra desert dogs.

“1947 cj2a has a 4.3 chevy with husky overdrive, 538 years with a D 18 transfer case and a sm420 transmission. I have a ton of new parts that need to be installed. Due to my health I cannot finish it, a new small cap electronic distributor new wiring harness, new wipers and motors, has 33 inch tires with 90% tread. Have brand new black bucket seats. Much much more. Like to trade for a older camero, or maybe a side by side, or Harley big twin motorcycle,”
I suspect this may have some underside rust.

“Looking to sell 1946 CJ2A. Not sure what the value is though since it does need some work. Located in the Waco, Texas area.”
This seems a good price on the seats and cage. If I were closer I’d be checking these out.

This has a sears-branded deluxe top. Unclear if it runs or not.

“Comes with extra engine and transmission. Three speed on the floor. Original Willys engine and transmission in it now.”
This includes a new tub. It could be a good buy and project.

“1942 Ford GPW Jeep.
If you are look for a run around Jeep, OK. If you are looking for a quality restoration project, this Jeep is a disaster. It is sad the abuse inflicted on this early script Ford. Roll bar runs through the floor and is welded to the frame. The body was re-skinned. I cannot determine how much of the body is original or its condition. Drivers seat was extended two inches. Look over the pictures carefully. More pictures at:
1944 MB/ 42GPW (imageevent.com)
On the good side: The engine spins freely be hand. It has the early scalloped axles. Early windshield hold down, Ford Script, and other F marks.
In addition, included will be the two windshield frames, hood and one combat wheel.”
This has no title. Given the radiator and the transmission crossmember mount (just visible in one pic), this is likely a DJ-3A convertible body on a CJ-2A chassis.

“Trade OBO NO TITLE!!! We got it thinking of restoring it due to it having many good parts but decided not to due to not having time. Would like to trade for a motorcycle or best offer for it.”
<– Day 14 – Fri. May 17th: Day 1 of the Midwest Willys Reunion | Trip Overview | Day 16 – Sun. May 19th: On the Road to Gettysburg –>
UPDATE: This year is the 10th anniversary of our 8-week, 2013-trip around the east coast. Up to that point, I didn’t really get how the impact this simple website had made. This weekend is the 10th anniversary being given the Toledo Brick award at the Willys Reunion. Here’s a throwback to that Saturday.
Today was another gorgeous, warm, sunny day here in Hudson. The day ended with an honor that caught me by surprise.
L-to-R: Bob Chrisy, Sebastian Logo-Guerrero, and Me.
Today was another gorgeous, warm, sunny day here in Hudson. More jeeps and people rolled in to make the day even better than yesterday. The most difficult thing about today was finding the time to talk with visitors looking at jeeps in the parking lot and having the time to see the presentations on the inside of the hotel. Here are a few photos of people I met:
In the end I only had a chance to attend MD Juan’s presentation, which was very interesting. They discussed the challenges the company has faced trying to perfect vintage Willys bodies so that they properly fit the different models (MB/GPW/2A/3A etc).
CEO Rommel Juan noted that the company’s increasing use of the jeep forums combined with access to original bodies has allowed them to tune the bodies and close in on the original specs.
R to L: Bob Christy with Rommel Juan, CEO of MD Juan, and one of his officer’s whose name I don’t have at the moment.
Looks like a nice build. It’s being sold by a dealer. It includes a Warn OD and a Bobcat hood.

“Sierra Classics Imports is proud to present this exceptionally mean 1942 Willys. The off-road machine is finished in a nice red paint with chrome diamond plating covering much of the car. The 283 cubic inch motor came from a 1961 Corvette and sounds loud and mean with the power to back it up. The 283 is linked up with a 4 speed manual transmission with Worn overdrive. The car has 11 inch drum brakes all the way around stopping 10×15 inch wheels and 33 inch tires. The Willys also has tilt steering as well as a full top a new radiator and a new water pump. This is an excellent Willys and would be a hard charging fun toy for anyone who wants to go off road with some oomf. Give us a call if you have any questions!”

(07/23/2022) Seller notes this is titled as a 1949, but it has a replacement data plate stamped CJV35 10656. I can’t locate anything that looks CJV35-ish.
https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/star-willys-jeep/7616943404.html
“Titled as a 1949 Willys could be a 1950 with title #CJ/35-10656. Buick V6, 5 extra tires and rims, roll bar and lots of extra parts. Will not answer texts or email.”
This one has an unusual windshield and rollbar setup.
