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.
(01/27/2011) This looks very good, though needs work of some type. The body appears to be a M-38.

(03/11/2010) This looks like a good price. I’m not sure if this is a DJ with an extended rear mod or a CJ-3A with a the wrong year??

It looks like the grille and fender has been customized a bit.
“This jeep is in great shape. new tires and wheels, also second set of tires and wheels go with it. Still needing some work on restoration. Needs new points to run correctly, but runs great no oil leaks. Drive train in good condition. Body work minimal. Changed over to 12 volt. Has 12 volt winch, turn signals, and set up for tow lights.

This appears solid. It looks like the old paint was covered with some gray spray paint.
“New top, New seats, Chevy 327 V8, Dana front and rear axles, 35″ Tires, Full Roll Cage, Runs Great,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(10/11/2010) This looks in good shape.

UPDATE: Now on Craigslist
(05/26/2010) Imagine my surprise when I looked at the last of the many images of this Jeep and learned this was a fiberglass tub! You don’t see many CJ-3B Fiberglass Tubs.

Here are a few pics.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,000
(10/10/2010) Here’s a rebuilt MB.

This appears solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900
Has an unusual body. My first thought was unibody, maybe fiberglass(?), as I can’t see seams between the front clip and the body. In fact, the hood appears to be a normal sized low hood that sits a top a solid CJ-3B clip (fenders/body/grille all molded/welded together).
“1948 Jeep Willys, 289l V-8, auto trans, B&M shifter, low miles, new interior and upholstery, soft top included, all terrain tires, aux. fuel tank rack, alloy wheels, tow bar, clean paint, runs excellent.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $35,750.
Bill spotted this … as he suggested, sit down …. the auction estimate was $12,000 – $17,000 which in itself is an inflated price in my opinion. However, this past weekend this franken jeep sold for $35,750.
“63 hp, 134.2 cu. in. flathead four-cylinder engine, Carter carburetor, three-speed manual gearbox with low-range, four-wheel drive with live axles front and rear with semi-elliptic leaf springs, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 80″
– From the Bill Jacobs Collection
– Only 578 miles since total nut-and-bolt restoration
– Original Forest Service Jeep with shovel and axe included
– 4WD with low range, trailer hitch, full gauge package
The 1946 Jeep offered here is beautifully finished in white. It was reportedly the property of the US Forest Service and carries the appropriate axe and shovel. It was the subject of an extremely detailed two-year restoration in 2001 by Jim Neirynck of Macomb Township, Michigan.”
Mike asked me to post his 1946 CJ-2A for sale.
He writes, “It’s been rebuilt from the ground up, almost all original, and runs and climbs like a damn billy goat! The windshield is off a newer willys, the previous owner did this. I put in the new gauges.
The previous owner had a 1/2 inch solid square steel rod installed around the edge, he said he thought the steel was flimsy there, and when he took his grandkids wheelin’, when they were climbin in and out of the Willy’s he wanted it stronger and more rigid. Very nicefully done.”
If only I had a good reason to buy it ….
“1960 jeep fc-170 drw w/ 4spd high pressure fog fire pumper 6000 miles minimal rust at rear fenders may need some brake work. $14000.00 cash on pick up only call 781-254-5888”

This appears to be a solid jeep that was restored with care. But, to label this ‘museum quality’ is, well, to put it gently — with great restraint — is inaccurate (for starters, too many non-original parts). Also, ‘Light Green’ is not one of three colors of a 1946 CJ-2A of that vintage (that is, post vin#38221); instead there were 6 color schemes (all listed at the CJ-2A Page’s history section).
“For sale is a restored 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. The Jeep’s body and visible parts were restored to show quality. All engine parts were kept spec. Jeep runs great and is stored in a garage all year long. The following is a list of stock parts and upgrades: Complete engine restoration, New windshield, New gauges, New Paint (1946 Light Green) one of 3 original colors, 4 New Non-Directional Tires, New gas tank, New brakes (Hand brake also works). Odometer was not working when the vehicle was bought. It is unknown how long the odometer was not working. Odometer has since been fixed. Approximately 50 miles or less on the restored motor.”
Steve spotted this, noting that the seller says the top is leather. That would seem unusual.
“Over $20,000 invested in this frame off full restoration. New paint Fall 2008. New wiring package. Rope gaskets changed out with rubber to stop garage leaks. Runs like a top. $1200 leather top and doors. Ziebart undercarriage protection for corrosion. Call for a test drive. Must sell. Will email more pictures direct if requested. Perfect Willy to put in a parade, do work on the farm, or drive into town to get a gallon of milk.”

UPDATE: Colin reports the Surrey sold for $23,000 plus a $2300 buyer’s premium (see comments). Thanks for the followup!
Laurie pointed out some Willys at the Barret-Jackson website.

UPDATE: Still Available
(11/22/2010) I think this has a great old-school feel to it with some practical upgrades.
“Old school custom runs great drives great looks great. I’ve never seen another one like it. The best and most fun Jeep I’ve ever owned. Dauntless V6 with headers and welded mufflers. T90 transmission shifts smooth. Spicer 18 transfer with Warn overdrive. This jeep can go 80 mph or faster. Winch, dual gas tanks, full roll bar, power steering, and power brakes. 918-261-7816.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
This looks in good shape.
“This is a 1952 USMC M38 Willy’s Jeep. I got this jeep about 1 year ago. I love driving it I have put some work in to it and was trying to FULLY restore it. I can no longer work on it due to my vision. She runs like a dream and she always makes heads turn.
Only things needed to be done to it is break stems need to be replaced, bleeding the brakes and minor carburetor work. I will throw in all the parts I have bought for it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
Price is negotiable and it runs. It does have back California taxes. May be a deal.
“1967 Jeep CJ5A— I am moving and I don’t want to haul this to my new home. Help me stop my wife’s nagging! I am going to keep this simple. This is an awesome CJ5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV. In great shape! There we not many of these built. It is mostly original. This is a project that I have stopped working on. I repeat..this is a Project that runs. Here are the negatives:
-It is unregistered. It has Past Due Registration Fees in the range of $305.00.
-It runs but I have not driven it for 2 years.
Here are the positives.
-It is priced to sell. Anyone could turn this vehicle for a profit if they complete the work I have started. I will have this vehicle towed to any Santa Rosa Address at my expense.”
This has a rear PTO. This might be a good price.
“Runs, has PTO in back bumper. Ford straight 6 motor.”

This looks very nice.
“For sale 1959 Willys FC-150 Forward Control Jeep, Has a flat head 4 cylinder engine, odometer shows 20K on it and the motor I think was rebulit at one ponit in time runs perfect. It’s a 12 volt system and the wiring has been updated to a “Ron francis Wiring Sytem”. The 4WD works great, the frame is clean no rust or rot, the cab has been restored by previous owner(all the rust and rot has been replaced with new metal). The Blue paint job is in good condition use some touch ups here and there. The interior is brand new white vinyl. She runs and drives fine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500. I suspect the body is fiberglass.
(11/30/2010) “1949 flat fender jeep willys. 289 chevy small block. Runs crawl up a tree.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7800
(10/20/2010) This is UNRESTORED.
“1955 willys jeep, CJ-3B, high hood, almost no rust, 21,000 miles, bone stock, runs like a top, was used on a peach tree orchard all of its life down south, just about as clean underneath as it is on top. Not restored. $7800.00 offers cash only no trades”
This looks like a solid truck.
“Runs good. Low miles. Has been sitting in the barn a few years. Also Have an unaltered 1939 Ford Deluxe Sedan (7,500.00) including all the chrome and lights in a box. Have a running 1978 GMC Royale RV for 3,500.00. Have all titles.”
