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 .

“1947 Willys cj2a Jeep flat head 4 cylinder motor full roll cage,lots of chrome 2 speed warn over drive.Has been in storage since 1986 its time to let it go.6500.00”
It’s not 100% authentic, but it wouldn’t take much to be 100%. The front frame rails look unmolested and unbent. Strangely, there are no pics that show the sides.

Bad:
Crack in rear right muffler makes a sound when letting off gas. It’s smog exempt. Fix at your own convenience.
Spare not full size.
Windshield wiper motors work, but do not move the arms. I suspect stripped gears. New wipers/motors/arms are $50 each.
Right mirror has some water inside of it and will need to be replaced. The round style mirrors are cheap for a set and will slide right into the holders.
There are a few small screw holes under the new top where the old style Bestop was installed. On the new one they moved the snaps. The benefit is that the new top will fold down like a convertible.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5995
(03/02/2011) This looks like a solid rebuild.

This looks solid.
“This jeep starts right up and is a lot of fun to drive. The Jeep has an excellent running V8 engine, a Warn overdrive (transfer case is twin-stick, gives it a high and low range for each gear), a new soft top, and a new gas tank. The transmission on this jeep is a smooth-shifter and it works perfectly.
I had all of the brake wheel cylinders replaced (along with a couple of brake lines that needed to be replaced) and the brakes work great. I also just had all of the tranny and differential fluids drained and replaced….this jeep is ready to go as a daily driver or for off-road use.
The jeep has a few small holes / spots in the floor that could be patched if desired, but they are minor and overall, this vehicle has very little rust and is in very good cosmetic shape for it’s age.
Everything works on the jeep except the speedometer and fuel gauge. I have the kit to put turn signals on the jeep, but, I have not installed it yet – buyer can have the kit for free if they like. The jeep also needs a rear view mirror to be registered in some states. I also have a set of large rock crawler tires that came with the jeep. I haven’t put them on but assume they fit and work.
This jeep is currently registered / titled in Idaho and it is a clean and lien-free title in my name. Mileage is unknown.
It pains me to sell this jeep but my wife says it has to go as I need the space in the garage for our boat.
Will sell for best offer received over $3,450.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
This appears solid.

Buz spotted this beautiful CJ-2A that will be auctioned August 20th. You can learn more about the auction at the Owls Head Transportation Museum or visit the museum, which is on Route 73 about 85 miles north of Portland, Maine. I think that will be a long drive for most of us!
It isn’t particularly stock, but it looks nice enough.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
For the price this might not be bad. It generally looks solid.
“1946 Jeep Willy… asking $3000

I don’t see any obvious issues.
“1951 CJ 3-A rebuilt, runs great, new paint, tires. Ready to drive or hunt”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(07/21/2011) This looks like a good price. I suspect the engine has been swapped out.
“Runs Great! Low Original Miles! Grandparent’s were Original Owners Miles are so low because they drove it in Evergreen Rodeo Parade! Can four wheel drive better that New Jeeps! Come see it at 80th & Sheridan area! Sorry pictures of it aren’t very flattering because it has been shop stored & was dusty!”
This looks like a well built rig. If the body is stretched, it isn’t obvious. The front fenders and hood might have been stretched though.

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/2550912105.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This has an unusual striping motif. The last tags were in 1981, so I suspect the miles on the engine are pretty low.
“48 flat fender willys w/ roll bar and a 283 small block, new rear seal, new upholstered black leather seats. has canvas top and doors but is in fair condtion. drop down winshield, new battery, and all the lights work too…. tires are good but could use new ones in the future, its not a daily driver but it will climb a tree….. the last tags r from 1981, have clear title….it runs killer and has lots of power.”
UPDATE: Eagle Eyed Bob recognized this as a CJV-35/U rather than a CJ-3A. **SOLD**
This is supposed to have no rust.
“I had this listed as a 1951 cj 3a. A guy from New York called me and informed me of what I really have. It’s a 1950 Willys CJV-35, and it is for sale. Since it is so rare, I have increased the price to $5500. There were only 1000 of these made in 1950. Check it out on the internet. I am not kidding All original. Flat head 4 cyl, 3 speed tranny, 2 speed transfer case. At one time this vehicle was green. Then some one painted it an ugly salmon color. I have removed a bit of the paint (a mistake), and in places it comes off easily. In other places it is on there pretty good. It runs great and has no rust, no kidding. The tool box under the pasenger seat is solid, as are the floor boards and the floor under the rubber mat in the back. It comes with a roll bar and high back bucket seats and a tow bar. I took these three items off the vehicle, for they are not stock equipment. It has a heater that works. Unfortunately, someone put an AM radio in the dash ( a really dumb move in my opinion), but they did an ok job of it and it works. ‘.”
Also, it is still 6 volt, and it has the plates on the dash from the Willys Overland Corporation. They’re pretty cool. Come check it out.
This was at the FC Get Together. It is a beautiful Jeep.
