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: **SOLD** Was $500.
This looks like a great price for a parts jeep. It appears very complete.

If this runs, this might be a good price.

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. Runs great. Body rebuilt by the Sears Oil Company in Rome, New York using heavy gauge steel. Plow included and the all brakes work. It has been converted to 12 volt system. This Jeep was used by Rome Memorial Hospital in the 2012 Honor American Day Parade that is why is it painted on Military colors. I am asking $2000.00 and at that price I am breaking even on what I have into it so the price is firm.”
Not totally original, but not bad either. The jeep was appraised at $17k? The seller needs to ask for his money back on that appraisal.
“You can see this rig close up at the U Park located at the corner of Badger & Old Rich by Forbes Storage Complex and Gloy’s Thai Food To Go
.
Excellent Original Condition. Runs excellent, under 500 miles on newly rebuilt original flathead 4 motor, comes complete with Snow Plow, Matching Willy’s Trailer, and a truckload of spare parts including Spare Tires, Chains.tool box, gerri cans, ball winch, soft top, hard top, start up accessories, and a whole buch more.
The Jeep alone has been appraised at 17K, not counting all the extras. A real 49er deal if ever there was one! Limited time to buy this complete set up! A perfect opportunity for a restorer or any enthusiast!
Will trade for Gold , Silver , Cash, or a combination of the three.

Here’s a rare letter that advertises woodie kits from Station Wagons, Inc, for CJ-2A and MB/GPW models. This 2 page letter shows both a full and a half cab. Below the two page letter is an example of an ad that appeared in Popular Mechanics.
Popular Mechanics Ad from the January 1948 issue of Popular Mechanics, pg 266. This ad appeared in the February 1948 issue as well. I haven’t done a full accounting to determine how many other issues had the ad.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
“Myers Half Cab in excellent condition with no dings or dents. It has been wet sanded and is ready for paint or polishing. It came off of a CJ3b, but should fit some earlier models as well. Asking $350.00”
This runs and drives with an operating trencher and sports duallies.
“1958 CJ 5 Willys Jeep with a trencher attachment that was factory made for jeeps back before the industry started making trenchers for smaller jobs.
Back then it was either a shovel and pick or large diggers. This trencher fit the bill for the smaller jobs.
This unit is in complete working order and runs great. The odometer reads 4400 miles and I believe it.
The Huricane-4 motor runs smooth and does not smoke.
Also has duals on the back that are made for jeep and never seen one of these with a cab.
Price is OBO at $6500.00 Please only serouis inquirers. 314-952-two nine 61”

(07/15/2012) I believe this runs? It also has a bed extender. While it looks like it is missing the tailgate, Leo noted that tailgate is still there, just under the extender.
“1953 CJ3A Willys Hight Hood , farm model, Mfd. half cab, box extension, snowplow. Recent overhaul.

The seller lists this as a 2A, but looks to me to be a 3A. This looks like an excellent project for the price.
“I have a 1949 Willys Jeep available for sale. It runs, but the fuel pump needs to be rebuilt (we were able to confirm that the engine is good by delivering gas straight into the carburetor). It also currently does not have brakes, although I have a brand new master cylinder and brand new wheel cylinders to go with it–these parts just need to be installed. It comes with a snowplow, but the hydraulic system for it needs to be overhauled. My grandfather found the Jeep in a salvage yard a number of years back and brought it back to life so that he could use it to haul wood around on our family farm. However, he passed away several years ago and the Jeep hasn’t been used much since then. This is a good project Jeep–everything is there; it just needs some work to get it back into good condition, and we don’t have the time to put into it. We will be demolishing the farmhouse and garage where it is currently being stored, so we’re forced to get rid of it. Other issues I can see with the vehicle: the windshield is cracked, the cooling system probably needs to be flushed, and the interior needs reupholstering.”
UPDATE: Was $500. **SOLD**
(06/26/2012) It sounds like the floor needs work.
“1947 jeep body with original title.

-body tub, rusted front floors
-front fenders
-hood
-transmission and transfer case(unknown condition)
-steering wheel and box

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This doesn’t run, but appears pretty solid and utilitarian.
“We bought this Willys thinking we get around to restoring it… Well here we are and my bosses idea of restoration is “sell it, I’m too busy. Does not run, looks to be complete, clean title, great project car.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2300.
(06/12/2012) For the price, it looks like a solid runabout jeep.
“Runs and drives great.. mostly original …great shape..1962 with good title. Also have soft top at a good price
Russ 732 703 1467”
http://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/3094876660.html
UPDATE: This sold quickly.
The front frame rails have been heavily reinforced. You gotta love that ‘hardtop’. Despite this, I think there’s some value
“Excellent running 4cyl converted to 12 volt 5ft plow, 4sp frame good would make nice plow truck also has 3 point hookup on rear, 16 inch tire with chains.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks like a fine price.

The seller lives in Alaska but is trying to sell this in Los Angeles.

I guess this jeep was used to back into hunting areas, hence the cammo is only on the back.
“260 NAIL HEAD BUICK MOTOR-RUN’S GREAT. HAS BILL OF SALE, BUT NO PAPERWORK, NOT STOLEN JUST HAVEN’T HAD THE TIME.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600
These don’t appear too often.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Steve notes that this still has the column shift mechanics, though it also has a floor shift.
“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A that I bought from a customer of mine. Her husband bought it brand new and I have only driven it to town a few times. The gears are good and tight. It starts just fine on the 6 volt system. The Heater still works and I think they are kind of rare. When I bought the jeep She said that it had not been started for over ten years. After inspection I found thick oil in the oil pan so I removed the pan and cleaned out the old oil before trying to start the engine. At this time I took pictures of the cylinders for inspection. Two of the cylinders have marks where the rings sat over the years. The cylinders will at sometime need to be honed out to remove the small ridges which you can see in the pictures. After I had the carburator cleaned and we were able to start the engine the water pump had to be replaced with a new one and I put a new belt on at that time.
I have driven the jeep around while hunting and totally had a great time. It is like going back in time and looking at the scenery a little longer because you are traveling a little slower.”
There’s some value here.
“For sale 1957 Willys Utility with plow. Removable hardtop and doors. Needs restoration. Engine not seized and will run. Plow is in operating condition. Cash offers are entertained, I know what its worth so please have a reasonable offer. Call 518-674-0675 and leave a clear message and phone number. I dont have time to restore so am parting with it.”

UPDATE: Still Available
(01/21/2012) This is worth a closer look. The seller only wants to deal with people in person.

This looks like a good price on a half cab that needs some work.
