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 .
A French site credits Serge Hiltenfinck with owning (and probably restoring) this 1943 MB “Garage Sully”-branded tow jeep. This photo was taken as part of vintage car meet in Ostheim, Germany.
” Serge Hiltenfinck had released this amazing Jeep wrecker from 1943, alongside the Daimler truck firefighters Jebsheim, which also dates from 1943.”
These two photos were posted to Flickr by Tobias Hartmann.

This M-38A1 used to belong to the San Juan County Sheriff’s office.
https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/d/durango-1964-kaiser-willys-m38a1/7026309174.html
“This M38A1 was owned by the San Juan County Sheriffs dept in Silverton CO for 35+ years,is part of our high mountain Colorado history. It was bought by a local in 2001 and remained in Silverton until now. I’ve watched this rig for the past 11 years and recently got my hands on it. With a family of 4, 3 dogs and a brand new house I dont know what the Hades I was thinking but at the time I had to have it. I have owned a lot of military Jeeps in the past, have had many M38A1s and know a good one when I see it.
This rig has a very nice Kelly hard top, converted to 12 volt, has the wrong seats in it but otherwise is very original and complete. There are very few “extra” holes, nothing has been hacked or cut up, body, floors, etc are extremely straight, rust free and would make an excellent restoration base or drive it as is. There is a matching spare wheel and military gas can in the back.The tool box floor is perfect as is the glove box floor. This Jeep has no real rust, is surface only, the mud is my fault, I live on a dirt road (see underside photos) The engine starts right up, no smoke, sounds good, brakes are good, shifts tight etc as you would expect with 8K miles.”
Blaine shared this one. It includes doors and rear hatch.

(04/04/2015) Nice looking jeep.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/d/bothell-1950-willys-cj3a-flatfender-jeep/7024863899.html
“1950 Willys CJ3A Civilian Flatfender. 95% stock, Flathead 4 cyl. 4 wheel drive, stored for 20+ years, few new improvements, Koeniq “Tin Top”, half roll cage, Diamond Plate corners and steps. Willys ready for restoration back to original or modify to whatever level. Have more photos, send email address if serious restorer / collector / hunter.”
I nearly bypassed this ad. Then I saw the overdrive. Has a hardtop as well.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/429956947694193/
“Drive train, has overdrive, chassis and doors. Unsure of year. Frame is in remarkable good shape for year.$350”
There seems to be some value here.

Jeff spotted this hardtop. Looks in good shape.

“Koenig steel hard top for early model flat-fender jeeps (CJ2a- to CJ3b). All glass intact and in good condition. Vertical sliding windows. No rust. Excellent restoration candidate.”
Looks solid.

“1946 Jeep Willys cj2a with rare aluminum hard top!
4 cylinder “Go Devil” L-head engine. Jeep starts and runs strong. Brakes, steers and shifts through all gears with no problem – road worthy. 4 wheel hi/low works. Engine was removed and re-built in 2008 (have receipts) with a new clutch, pressure plate & throw out bearing. Radiator replaced and new tires. New spark plugs in 2016. Temp, amp & oil pressure gauges all work. Have owner’s manual and mechanics manual. New original style spare tire carrier/mount from Walcks (not generic aftermarket carrier). Has new front turn signals as well as correct tail lights. Headlights work, also has a cabin heater (under driver dash).
All footman loops are present. Original body, not perfect but pretty close and amazing for 70+ years old. Paint is old flat finish, hard to get patina in a paint can. Windows slide open and shut. Seats are good – no tears. Bolt on roll cage for safety along with harness seat belts-can be removed.
One crack in windshield and one crack in side rear aluminum top window. Neither bothered me, but could be replaced cheap! Minor oil leak but for the age, what can you expect (most likely around a seal). I bought another Jeep a few years newer with a snow plow and so wife says one has to go so she can get her vehicle back in the garage! Hoping to find this CJ a good home at $6,500. Also have 5 original (not aftermarket) 16″x 4.5″ wheels in fantastic condition for $400.”
This may have potential. That appears to be a Kelly Bonanza III hardtop.

“We also have a 1951 Jeep Willies”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/04/2019) This jeep looks to have a Worman Jee-Cab.
https://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/pts/d/tyngsboro-1947-willys-jeep-cj2a-for/7021100200.html
“This is a 1947 Willys CJ2A jeep for parts. Serial # 138877. Frame appears to be solid, front horns are in great shape; The T-90 transmission is stuck and the L134 engine turns by hand; front floor is toast, hood is good. It has a rare Worman Jee-Cab (will need some repair) It does roll. I’ll throw in the fenders and radiator for an extra $150. Has a nice bumper too, $50..”
Mike spotted this ‘free’ jeep with a $300 snow plow. Looks like a good deal. The Meyer top alone makes this a good price.
https://catskills.craigslist.org/pts/7020554297.html
“Snow plow for Jeep. Simple but works. Comes with FREE JEEP. It ran when I parked it. Has a flat head 4cyl engine.”
Gauges do not work. I think it has a Kelly hardtop?
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/cto/d/san-gabriel-1958-willys-jeep-cj6/7017645612.html
“Mostly original – 4cyl hurricane engine, 3 spd transmission, front lock/unlock hubs, 6V, minimal rust. HARD TOP with glass in-tact. Matching spare wheel. Engine bay reasonably clean, engine and drive train needs solid cleaning. Runs well and starts every time.
I bought this as project sight unseen. Was going to resto-mod it but I can’t bring myself to hack into and part out something this original. It is truly great condition considering its age. Last owner put $1500+ into normal repairs back in May of 2019. I had it shipped out here and have slowly been poking around at it but have not started doing anything major.
Details: Gauges not working, 6 volt (although new battery), wiring has had a few things added but it is mostly original. Tires hold air but are not road-worthy. 26485 on the ODO but it isn’t working. This is a perfect Willys for someone looking for a super vintage restoration.
Currently clean titled in Colorado. Pink slip in hand. Asking $9000 OBO. Also interested in trades for other Willys / Jeep / etc. If you are at all interested please send me an email. I have a few Jeep projects underway so I’m looking to make a deal!”
UPDATE: Still Available. The jeep as a whole was sold back in 2014.
(12/28/2017) The hardtop looks to be an early Willys-Overland Worman-manufactured hardtop .. a very hard to find item.
https://reno.craigslist.org/pts/d/clio-cj2a-jeep-worman-cab-only/7015511839.html
“Cab with doors as seen in pics. Does NOT include tub. Best CASH offer.!“

“Make offer need gone heavy metal doors windows still in tact. Cab is missing one smaller window on side garage kept until this week Was told it fits a cj 5 from 65 to 75 models”
