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 $5000.
Except for the front bumper, this looks like a nice stock CJ-3A. If the floor boards are solid this might be a good buy.
“This is a WWII type Jeep.. Im is is in selling for a friend. This jeep is in great shape I think it has been fully restored. It does need a top, it does run and is road worthy. I do have more pics available. Please leave number or questions I will respond asap. He is firm on price trade are possible. Thanks.”
This looks good and runs and drivse, but needs a little work.

UPDATE. Was $12,500 **SOLD**
(05/21/2012) Note the golf cart story 🙂
“1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep Very Early Civilian (VEC) Outstanding Condition! This restored gem may be the cleanest ’46 you have ever seen. No rust, no problems, everything works, it steers and stops like it did when new. Has recent new master cylinder installed. New exhaust system. Even the grase fittings have been replaced. 6 volt battery is 1 year old. Engine and transmission have been rebuilt and work great! Fires right up and goes. No smoke or missing. Vehicle has been in our local Independence Day Parade 4 years in a row and gets lots of applause. This is a real head turner. Has small dent on driver’s side top bow holder where ex-girlfriend’s disobiedient son ran into it with my golf cart. Jeep is here-they are gone! I am turning my attention to other vehicle restorations and can’t keep them all.
Engine # is CJ2A 102908. I will throw in a rough colum shift assy I got from another Jeep, although it may not be complete. I do not have the top bows or any other accessories.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was priced at $4000.
This is worth a look.
“1952 Willys M38A1 Military Jeep. All original Except color, bikini top and front bumper. 24 volt generator has been replaced with 24 volt alternator. Blackouts have been removed and replaced with turn signals. Runs good. Engine and powertrain are in good working condition including 4wd and have never been rebuilt. Could be a great restoration vehicle for military or jeep enthusiast. $4000 or could consider reasonable offer. I have the original military service manual and some extra parts. contact through craigslist for any questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
(11/01/2010) This appears in great condition. I’m wondering if this is actually a CJ-3A.
“Jeep CJ2, Calif Yellow & Black Plates, Clear Title. Has original “Go Devil” Flathead 4 motor. A very clean Jeep with no dents or rust. Good Glass, Seat and Tires. Runs smoothly. I have only used this for parades and car shows (show & tell) It has not been beaten up off roading. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800
(05/04/2011) “1946 WILLYS Jeep CJ2-A. Built for the dirt, but street legal.
COMPLETELY rebuilt from the ground up. Only 9,567 miles since rebuilt:
Chevrolet V-8 engine with Edelbrock manifold, off-road modified Holly 4-barrel carburetor and Holly electric fuel pump. Advanced Adapters headers with Thrush Turbo mufflers. Custom-made extra heavy-duty 4-row radiator.
Modified 4-speed Saginaw 1/2-ton truck transmission with Hurst shifter, Advanced Adapters silent gear kit in transfer case and a Warn overdrive. New drive shafts front & rear. Heavy-duty clutch.
Spicer model 44 rear end with Detroit Tru-Trak limited-slip differential and full-floating axles (just add locking hubs for free-wheel towing). 4WPW 11” rear drum and front disk brakes with 3/4-ton GM truck master cylinder.

This looks pretty solid. Might be a good price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $29000
As a former owner of three of these, I can attest to their lack of value.
“Austin was commissioned to build the Champ to replace WWII Willys Jeeps in the British Military service. It is powered by a modular Rolls-Royce engine that produces 80 horsepower. The engine is linked to a 5 speed synchromesh transmission that has no integral reverse gear, drive being taken by the propshaft to a rear transaxle which incorporated a reverse mechanism that acted on all five ratios and is controlled by a separate lever. The suspension is fully independent double wishbones with a longitudinal torsion bar and telescopic hydraulic damper at all four wheels.
Recently, over $8,000 was spent replacing all the axle seals and gaskets for the front and rear differentials. The front and rear shocks were also replaced and the entire undercarriage and suspension was cleaned, undercoated, and detailed.]”
David spotted this model on Flickr. I don’t much other than it is being well built by someone named Alex.
This has the early three data plate setup. Looks in good condition.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
It is rare when a seller writes that a jeep is more than 90% restored and it actually looks more restored than that. Looks good.

“This is an original, 1942 GPW Ford Jeep. It was built Dec. 21, 1942. This jeep is as complete and rust free as you will ever find. This jeep has always been garaged and has a clear Title.
The Ford GPW were manufactured from 1941 to 1945. These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeeps
This jeep comes complete with all five combat rims and canvas. There are numerous extra parts, including the original carburetor, 6-volt generator and fire extinguisher. I have converted the lights and alternator to 12 volts for brighter headlights but the jeeps comes with its original regulator, original generator, gauges and tail lights etc …. everything to put it back into 6 volts.”
UPDATE: Was $5000. **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9250
(09/12/2011) Looks nice. It appears to lack data plates.
“Parade or combat ready.
New tires and seat canvas.
No canvas top
12 volt system
Brake booster
Power take off winch in working order”
This looks pretty solid. One of the commenters believes this might be an early GPW.
“Up for auction is my Jeep Willys MB in very restorable condition. Very solid body and no rust on frame.(Don’t let the pictures confuse you) The only rust on the body is on both sides of the head channels, approx. 4” long. Can be repaired without removing panels. 5 Original Combat rims with all new tubes & tires. Engine turns by hand. Tranny, 4 wheel drive, Hi/Low levers move freely as they should. Vehicle stears nicely and rolls freely.
My opinion is that this is an easily restorable project. The vehicle is 90% there, all original including almost all original E C marked bolts and early zipper style cushions. (see pics) There is the original front bumper and wooden filler. I believe that the body was never taken off the frame. Vehicle has clean transferable title. It is titled as a 1943 Jeep Willys Ut, which I’m not sure is accurit, since I don’t have the original data plates. Vehical originally came from California.
Please examine all pictures closely, so you can see what you’re bidding on and all that is included in this auction. Here is a link to the photo album of 90 pictures:

This looks very nice, though the drain hold near the step looks filled in, so I’d check out the body closely.
“1948 Willys jeep–IMMACULATE condition. New tires, shocks and bikini top. All original under the hood. I’m selling the vehicle because my new house doesn’t have adequate garage space to properly store the vehicle. I have $6000 in the vehicle but am selling it for $5000. This is a firm price so only call if you are serious. My cell is 318-617-4716.”

This appears in good condition. I think this might have been the text from an eBay ad, because it has a ‘buy it now’ reference. I think the third party appraiser has been partying too much given the appraised value of $11,000. The seller will do better if they paint it OD green and put some military tires on it. Those metal (as opposed to aluminum cast) slots in that good of shape are hard to find.
“Collector owned. Collector has Street rods, frame off restored muscle cars, woody’s, Mopar’s, classic trucks, etc and this Willys Jeep is one of the many in his collection.
THIS JEEP WAS JUST APPRAISED AT A VALUE OF $11,000.00 BY A CERTIFIED THIRD PARTY APPRAISER (SEE APPRAISAL BELOW WHICH IS INCLUDED WITH THE SALE OF THE VEHICLE). NOTE: THE COLLECTOR IS A MOTIVATED SELLER. Call me for a buy it now.
A show and award winning full frame off restoration of this Willys Jeep proves it to be one of the nicest restorations around today. OVER $16K INVESTED in the frame off, nut and bolt, restoration. Heavy documents and receipts included.
With the original F Head 4 cylinder motor that has less than 2,000 miles on it, this Jeep has seen very little road time. Car has never seen rain and has only been driven around town. Jeep likes like showroom new.
The interior and floor pan are in excellent condition, matching the dash and gauges the truck reflects the countless man hours installed to get it to the condition that it is today.
This Jeep is ready for shows or a Sunday cruise, with its manual transmission run it down the highway at 65mph or take it to the trails to see what it was meant to do!
This Jeep will come with multiple awards one at local car shows. This is a military Jeep sold Civilian with very low original miles.
In full disclosure, the items that are not 100% show quality as follows:
-A small run in the paint on the passenger side of the hood. See pictures
Everything works and this Jeep is ready to drive anywhere!
Call Alex for more info
Thanks!
