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 .
Unclear how much value is here. No description provided.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/25/2023) It’s a project.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/583142407207078
“1953 Jeep Willys CJ3A. Complete, as in all parts are here. Engine in jeep had a knock and is partially disassembled. Comes with inspected and tested replacement. We bought it as a project but others have since taken precedence. It’s a 70 year old Jeep and has sat for quite some time. It’s not perfect but would be a great restoration project. Have title. Some extra parts included. If you actually read this entire ad and are into flat fenders, we have 2 others that could be had as a package deal, but this one must sell first.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(02/24/2023) Has incorrect tool lids and needs work, but hard price to beat these days in the midwest.
“1942 GPW Jeep. Solid overall for a WW2 Jeep. Willys engine and trans. Not cut for tailgate. Clean title.”
Updates are limited today. I spent much of today repairing a plow for a neighbor, so no jeep work got done. Then, we picked up the new kittens today, which have kept Betty Page and Lizzy very busy this afternoon and evening (which means they will sleep hard tonight).
The 2-month-old kittens are sisters and rescued cats. We discovered that a neighbor fosters cats, though she mostly ships them to the Seattle area as folks over on this side of the state don’t adopt them too much apparently. We formally named them Dorothy and Louise, after these two jeep explorers (because we were told the cats were pretty curious about their surroundings). We can attest that the kittens have wasted no time in exploring their room (they will have more run of the house later).
However, we are having difficulties telling them apart, so they may end up just as Thing One and Thing Two.
In the two pics below, you can see how happy Lizzy is! The good news is that the cats have had lots of dog time, so they aren’t scared of our dogs at all.
Betty Page is enjoying the new kitties, too.
Thanks to Chris for selling me these NOS Free-Lock 27-spline hubs he got from a friend. He also included copies of the original documents that were included with the hubs. Since I have a Dana 30 on Biscuit, these will got on it once I start working on it.
This doc is one I posted last week:
I’m guessing the warranty is no longer any good, lol?
As I mentioned last week, this doc is the first evidence I’ve seen that Free-Lock became a “division” (whether actual or virtual) within Dualmatic. It is my belief that Selectro was another division:
Here is one look at the hubs:
And, a second look:
There was a Jeep Jamboree game for the Gameboy? I remember having a gameboy shortly after they hit the market. I mostly played Tetris and Scrabble, though I had a few others. I don’t remember hearing about the Jamboree game. Anyway, this ad is on eBay.

This unusual jeep dealers point-award’s catalog on eBay has a buy-it-now price of $39.99. It’s an unusual item for sure. My understanding is that dealers (or sales folks?) earned points in various ways that they could redeem for items in the catalog. There’s a pretty extensive choice of items!

Willys-Overland produced a July 01, 1947, brochure featuring its family line up of vehicles. The following year, on July 01, 1948, the company reprinted the brochure with a few minor changes and it was printed on a glossier, thinner paper. So, when buying this brochure, make sure to check the date of printing.
Here is the 1947 version of the tri-fold brochure:
The brochure opens to the left revealing these two pages. At the bottom of the page on the right is the date “7-1-47”.
This image shows the fully open brochure.
These docs cover Locking and Lockmatic Warn hubs from the mid 1960s.

Maury spotted this one. The body is supposed to be rust free.

“This is an original 1971 CJ5 jeep with a solid, no rust steel body. It has the rare dauntless oddfire V6 engine that runs great. Pictures with a storage box but it comes with the back seat. Started adding some things but we just don’t have the time to enjoy it. Replaced the headlights and taillights with led, but I still have the originals. Added nerf bars for easier in and out. This jeep is in excellent shape and solid. A great classic to have. You don’t see them like this anymore. Asking 8,000”
This includes doors.

“Jeep Willy’s CJ-2A Hard Top With Doors $500 obo. Trades welcomed. It’s a bit rough but complete. Bought it for my 3A but the rounded windshield makes it more work than it’s worth”
It’s a project without an engine.

“CJ 2A body and two rolling chassis no engines”
The price also includes some axles and a steering stabilizer.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/892903511961517
“Good cutlas hubs. Good axles with goods joints. Steering stabilizer needs shock. From a 1950 Willy’s wagon with stock front axle.”
This jeep has an unusual paint scheme. It also has a Meyer half cab and probably some Allstate hubs, but I can’t tell for sure.

“Old but gold jeep truck CJ5. Engine frozen up, check photos, need more,or questions ask”
Update sold. Was $1500.
Andy spotted this truck with a dump bed. It also includes a snow plow.
“Has the 226 hurricane 6 cylinder engine the engine will crank by turning the key I haven’t had it running I am keeping the wheels the truck is rough I have Kentucky classic title in my name does have snow plow and the truck is a dump truck”
Possible parts or project jeep.

“Selling a 1943 Willy’s MB. Jeep is very rough. No title. Good parts Jeep has correct axles under it. The fenders are F marked and the rear axle is F marked. Message me with any questions. Price is OBO”
Not sure if the $2500 covers everything? The truck has something installed on the back. The CJ-2A appears to have a Worman hardtop that has been converted to a half-cab.

“2 jeeps, rolling chassis, and some parts.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/24/2023) Lots to like here. The master cylinder may need a rebuild.

“New carb ,coil,electric box,starter needs I think master cylinder”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/28/2023) This needs some love, but the truck flatbeds don’t pop up for sale too often. I can’t tell if it is an original flatbed or not.

“I’m selling a 1947 Jeep Willys truck, I purchased this with the intention of completing the project but I ran out of time. This Jeep has mostly all original parts. 2 owners. It has sat in a barn for the last 15 years and needs some love. It did run and drive currently is leaking fuel when you try to fire it up.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/20/2022) This runs and drives, but has plenty of rust. There is some parts value here at the very least.

“Willys DJ Jeep,two wheel drive,in good shape for the year,runs and drives with a little coaxing. 3300 OBO.”
I spent the last couple days figuring out where I want the firewall positioned and how I want to attach it (and watching some March Madness, so not a lot has gotten done). I may even be able to reuse the firewall from the yellow jeep, though I’ve had to “massage” it with a sledge hammer into a useable state. I will know more once I remove the body.
But, before removing the body, I wanted to see if/how well the front clips I have fit the body and frame. It turned out that the radiator (and the attached power steering cooler in front of the radiator) needed to be moved back about an inch for either front clip to fit. Thankfully, that was easily done.
I tested out the better of the two front clips, but it didn’t want to mesh well with the body. So, I tried out the more damaged of the two front clips, which was original to the yellow body, and that fit much better. The problem is it will require more work to fix (which I will take as an opportunity to do something creative with the grille portion).
Note that this is sitting crooked at the front. I have not added an mounts for the front clip yet.
This old school build looks in great shape. No year listed in the ad. It has one of the more unusual roll bar designs, as it appears the roller is bolted to the sides of the body.

Glenn shared this set of early CJ-2A plates. I can’t tell if a serial number had been stamped into the center plate or not. These may or may not be VEC plates.

“I have the dash data tags from a very early cj2a. These tags are from a rare willys cj2a that used a modified military mb frame from the factory. The jeep has been parted out.”
