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 $2800.
This looks like it has the early M-38A1 hinged grille. It appears to be a reasonable price.

(07/26/2011) “Hello i am selling my 1946 jeep willy it was a fun project for me i but want a four wheeler or dirt bik.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(01/02/2011) This appears to have an unusual bar on the passenger side spanning across the rear wheel well.
“I have the title in hand, with current registered black plates.
This is a nice old jeep. It has a Willys MB hood. This was one of the first Ford keeps made. The frame serial number is GPW 10792* (yes it is a star, not a missing number) The body does not have a serial number, which is correct for the early 42 jeeps. The motor serial is 171304, so it isn’t the original motor but it is still the correct L134
It has a Volvo gas tank behind the seats in the cargo area. The steering column and seats are vw.
The body and undercarriage are solid.
I had the starter rebuilt last year.
Has locking/non-locking front axle so it can be towed. Also has light hookup like a trailer for towing.
Has a black top and doors that come with it.
The bad- I had ezlube change the oil and 2 months later, I found out the oil had been leaking out of the drain plug. I found out when the motor stopped running. This just happened in mid August. Prior to this, I had put a new battery in it and used it daily for a 12 mile commute. Tranny and 4wd work great.”
A reader wondered why the price was so high. I wonder that too.
“Original Owner, 1948 Willys Jeep, CJ2A. This is an original owner vehicle that has been in the family since new, for 63 years. It has the original tires, top, and all other equipment as it did when it was picked up at the Jeep/Mack dealer in 1948. This vehicle has been kept in near pristine condition with no rust or dents. Still titled in the original owners name. The like new original owners manual is also included in the sale. This vehicle has been driven between 250-300 miles per year its whole life. It has about 150 miles on it so far this year. This is a once in a lifetime barn-find American icon that even has the only option available in 1948 which is all of the chrome beauty rings on the wheels and the spare.”
This looks solid.

This is listed over at Hemmings.
“A full and complete body off frame was performed several years ago with a “cost no object” budget and completed the same way a high caliber major concours classic would have been done.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3300
(08/16/2011) Not a perfect restoration, but looks fun just the same.
“If you are in the market for a four wheeler but would like to be able to enjoy the ride with more than 2 people, this Jeep is for you!
It’s small enough to fit down most trails but big enough for family and friends to all enjoy!
This Willy’s runs great, along with having new shocks, alternator and has been well taken care of. I have owned it for the past 3 years, but it has been stored indoors for at least the past 10 years…since its restoration.
If interested please call 612-321-6206 and ask for Matt, thanks!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This is a very clean, well restored, and well running CJ2A. You don’t see them like this very often. I hope I look this good when I’m 64 years old! Complete body off restore done in 2001 and garaged full-time since then. Driven occasionally in parades or short trips around town since then. I tried to keep everything original. It’s been in the family since before I can remember but it’s time to pass it along to someone else who will baby it.
Original flat head engine. Engine has been started regularly and runs great. Starts on the first crank every time. Doesn’t burn oil or leak. Belts and hoses are good. New radiator keeps engine nice and cool. Engine compartment is clean, no rust or corrosion, and everything is easy to reach. Manual choke. Foot starter. Starting the jeep by hand is very fun with the hand crank starter (included). Manual 3 speed transmission plus reverse. Odometer reads 1335 miles but I have no idea if that is accurate.
Jeep has been converted from 6V to 12V. New battery, new 12V generator, new wiring harness (every wire in the vehicle is new), lights and gauges are all new or originals that work fine, driver’s side heater with electric fan and on\off switch, high \ low bean foot switch, dash panel light. New headlights and brake light.
Body is in good shape. This is the original tub which was removed and new steel welded in to repair all existing damage. Front and rear floor boards are completely solid with no rust (unusual in jeeps this old). Tool box is clean and dry. New gas tank. Side mounted spare. Frame and underside was sandblasted down to metal, all damage was repaired and repainted. Shocks and springs are good. Drive train is solid. Brakes work well. Rubber floor mats fit floor boards well. Good solid roll bar. Jerry can mounted on rear.
Most rubber is new and in good shape. Window tie-down belt secures the fold-down window in place when its down. Wood blocks on the hood support window when its down. Pneumatic windshield wiper motor (missing the blade) works using engine vacuum. New heavy canvas from Beachwood Canvas Works with no tears anywhere. Seatbelts added front and back to make it legal.”
It needs a little work, but looks pretty good.

This has an unusual front fog light (or turning light?) solution on the front grille.
“1948 Jeep Willy CJ2A — odometer reads 60383 miles — New Exhaust Pipe, Muffler, Tail Pipe, Carburetor, Master Cylinder, Fuel Pump, Wheel Cylinders and Brake Pads, Rewired. Hard to start at times, but runs good when started frequently. Driven on road in 2010. Garage kept since I have owned. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
“1946 is the first year Willys manufactured the civilian jeep. Over 65 years young. Why not own a piece of history? Classic cars grow in value every year. This jeep was used as a gentleman’s grove jeep for many years.
Areas in the floor boards can use some welding repair, overall good condition. Jeep is titled and insured for street use. Runs great. Transfer, gear box, hubs operate perfectly. Spare tire / same as the 4 on the jeep. Spare parts include steering worm and pinion, new oil filter, rear shocks, new in box. Seats covered in green leather and seat belts added. New brakes, including all cylinders and hoses. Serviced September, 2010 ($1,600.00), bill available for inspection. Used little since. Garaged. Needs speedo cable. Amp wires reversed shows neg (-) instead of pos. (+)”
UPDATE: Steve notes this is a scam and this sold a few months ago. He also notes that LSD-30 was a Navy ship and the LSD stands for Landing Ship, Dock.
The price is a bit high. I think the description explains a lot.

The body on the Jeep is totally solid and rust free. I have inspected the body and can not find any obvious rust or repair patches whatsoever. The Jeep has lived its life in dry Arizona and Colorado and has always been well cared for. The paint on the Jeep is a Jade Green Metallic, a more classy upgrade from olive drab and looks simply awesome. The Jeep is straight as an arrow and the paint job is very nice. The Jeep has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as an western car should be. The bottom of the tub, as well as wheel wells are painted green just like the top. The rubber seals under the hood and windshield are new. Every nut, and bolt was removed before paint, cleaned painted correctly then re-installed. The meticulous level of the restoration is obvious when walking around this CJ. The underside was also nicely redone and all suspension, axles, and floors were nicely sprayed with semi-gloss black.

(03/19/2011) This looks like a real nice Mitsubishi, but the description had me scratching my head Now, I’m no expert on Mitsubishi jeeps, but I’m pretty sure there are some inaccuracies in the description. As a side note, here are a variety of Mitsubishi Jeep brochures that I found.
For example, ‘Diesel engine means long life, biofuel or runs on French fry oil’ — sure, a diesel ‘can’ run on vegetable oil, but it does require some non-trivial modifications.
Or ‘This is an Mitsubishi produced M38A1’ — this is not an exact version of the M-38a1 (not even close). Instead, this appears to be a J-54.
Or even ‘It has High/Low 4×4 & 4×2 Tranny & Transfer case. (3 levers)’ — unclear how it has a 3rd, separate lever for the transfercase when the first two levers represent the entirety of the transfer case. Below is the description:
“USED WILLYS JEEP CJ3B (High Hood) PRODUCED BY MITSUBISHI CORP JAPAN. This is an Mitsubishi produced M38A1 VIN # J54-16629
Mitsubishi bought the rights to produce the exact Military version M38A1 Jeeps back post WW II They continued production until 1990
There are identical other than some major improvements.
Differences are Mitsubishi installed there 2760cc 4 cylinder Diesel Engine & put in a 4 speed transmission.
It has High/Low 4×4 & 4×2 Tranny & Transfer case. (3 levers)
Has a posi-trac rear end.
Fuel economy is exceptional. (Approx. 25-30 MPG 2×2) (In 4×4 & extreme conditions less)
Pre-Heat standard , WE were starting it this winter during the ice & snow when it was 0’ outside & the windchills at 15 below.
24v system. Dual batteries
They are right hand drive. (Can be converted) Other than engine, tranny & related most other parts interchange. Tops & other accessories are available new today. We carry a full line of service & replacement parts in our inventory.
This Jeep is equipped with a 3″ lift, free flow exhaust, 32″ tires, aluminum mag wheels, bucket wrap around contour seats,
Chrome Bull Bar,. Bikini Top, Roll bar .
We have been completely thru this Jeep & found it to be in excellent mechanical condition. With No Rust.
The engine will out perform even a 6 cylinder & even V-8’s in most any terrain, …. “well other than flat out”
It has a throttle set for climbing the steepest grades with ease & no bouncing accelerator pedal.
Diesel engine means long life, biofuel or runs on French fry oil dependability & less braking desending the steepest of grades.
Willys required there Logo to be on all of them. Other than the Engine & Tranny you cannot tell them apart.
These will last past your Grandchildren.
They will simply out perform any Jeep you are currently familiar with Off-Road. I have had 24 of these over the years & everyone that got one of them just loves them you will to I am sure.
I sold most of them between $8000 & $10000.
I will take $6500 cash money or trade for something that I like or you think is worth more than 65. Please be real , no junk, & send pics. I like man toys, street rods, & would trade for a Rhino in nice condition.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Rudolph spotted this Ford GP that is dated as a 1938 for some reason. 1941 would be the actual year. It includes a trailer.
