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 .

(04/17/2010) For a restored slat grille, this doesn’t seem like all that bad of price.

Jean-Sebastian spotted this nice looking Canadian Gladiator for sale.
“Beautiful 1965 Jeep Gladiator, 350 Buick eng. Automatic trans. A real pleasure to drive, certainly turns heads wherever it goes. It is a 4×4 but never goes off road! Power steering, manual hubs, truck is always garaged and rarely even driven. Needs a few finishing touches to make it perfect but is fine the way it sits! Hate to sell it but could really use the room in my shop right now. Please email with questions and I’ll try and answer them the best I can, if you would like more pictures let me know and I’ll send them off. The truck has a California title at the present time. I can have the truck shipped anywhere or will work with your shipper on my end.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Brett spotted this one as well. It looks in very good stock condition.
“69 jeepster commando super clean under 75000 original miles v6 manual all stock”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
(06/19/2010) This appears in good shape. I don’t see any indication that it has a soft top (no buttons along the side). It appears the data plate is missing or just not installed.
“This is a 1948 jeep that has had a bunch of money put in it in the last few months, it has new brakes, tires, seats, paint ,starter,water pump. on and on, the engine runs great, mechanically it is sound, the body is rough, but the paint is shiney and will stay put”
UPDATE: Price lowered to $11,950
(10/03/09) This is a nice looking Wagon. I thought the use of the background blurs was unusual.
“Call 415-706-4855 or 415-453-0270. 1957 Willys Jeep Wagon. Arguably the first SUV ever made. It has a rebuilt inline 6-226 cubic inch Super Hurricane engine with a 4WD (4-Wheel-Drive) 3-speed transmission. It has gear levers for both front and rear transaxles. The car has 56,337 miles showing on the odometer. It equipped with a removable second row of seats and a manually operated spotlight. It is a beautiful car, owned locally in Marin since 1957. It is priced to sell at $11,950.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(05/19/2010) This looks good and has a PTO, but needs some work.
“PRICE REDUCED $2500 1953 Willy’s CJ3B “High Hood” Consider trade for a enclosed trailer w/ clean appearance, tandem axle w/ side door, 7×14 Fun Jeep to drive and regret that I have to sell it. First year of the 3B! This Jeep is a small project that needs a engine and seats. The 283 is removed(it could be included but in need of repair or replacement to a similar chevrolet engine) It also needs the old seat frames recovered or replaced (through the Kaiser catalog) and a section of exhaust pipe between the rams head exhaust to muffler exchanged(from a muffler shop) The hood, grill and tailgate are repainted. I replaced the shocks and included is a new powdercoated gas tank(It is not installed) It has some original parts such as the stock vacum operated windsheild wiper motor, offset axles, transmission, transfer case and a extremely rare power take off for farming implements on the rear of the Jeep. Also the front tow bar is refabed for a 2″ ball. Handles flat tow very nicely. The soft top is in good shape with the rear section needing to be replaced(likely from a boat shop) Additional parts included are the front and rear entire axle assembly including tie rods, transmission, transfer case, and partially completed half doors. Jeep sits on 28″ wild country radials w/ aluminum rims. With a little bit of work, this could be a whole lotta fun. Great chance for someone to own a rare PTO Willys CJ3B that is a unique conversation peice. Oregon title”
This looks like a good package.
“1946 Willys CJ2A in original almost rustfree condition, there is slight surface rust on the under body and one spot of rust on a hat channel at one of the mounting bolts. The inner windshield has rust around the glass area and probably could be replaced. The body itself has normal farm use dents and dings but nothing serious and would be a easy restoration, the area around the side holes are probably the worst they had a rubber cover bolted to both of them see picture, I have had it about 20 years and enjoyed it as is. Mechanically it runs great and everything works, including the originak key coil switch, has normal leaks at some of the seals. The brake lines wheel cylinders and master cylinder have all been replaced. The seats have powder coated frames and replacement cushions covered with vynil, the rear seat is a reproduction. Original seat pans springs and coverings go with the Willys. Wheels are powder coated with white vynil strpes and almost new non directional tires. I believe the Willys a has about 29,000 miles as it has on the speedometer. The wireharness could stand replacing, horn button doesn’t work but the horn does, windshied glass is a litttle scratched. The Willys comes with a complete Monroe three point hitch with a motor mounted hydraulic pump not installed.PTO with rear gear box and farm belt pulley and governor,V belt pulley for generator or welder, belt driven buss saw I believe it’s a Newgren. Front bumper weight, complete operational Linkbelt capstan winch with most original parts, rope roller assy is a reproduction and winch drive bracket is fabricated from steel and works well….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5750
“Complete restoration. New tires, soft top with doors, seats, floorboards, gas tank, glass, guages. The paint is just as shiny on the bottom of the jeep as the top. Everything in engine compartment replaced with new or rebuilt. Very neat and original looking under the hood. Built for parades and car shows. Runs like new. Must see in person.“
Hog spotted this nicely restored (though not completely stock) CJ-2A.
“This CJ2a was restored by a good friend of our family. He rebuilt the engine and converted it to 12 volts. In the restoration it has received new brakes and I have the kits to convert the drum brakes to pads/calipers on the front. I recently installed a new battery and have new original hood blocks. The front bumper is stainless and custom made. The rear tailgate was taken out and welded solid (I have the original tailgate and it is painted to match the jeep) The front seats have new upholstery and the rear seat is in good condition. The paint job was professionally done. It has an extra fan at the radiator for extra cooling that can be turned off/on using a toggle switch on the dash. It has a new gas tank. This is a nice jeep that is ready to ride daily.”

This is a no reserve auction on a nice looking, though modified, GPW.
“For sale is a 1943 Ford GPW jeep.It has been modified and sports a V6 (Dauntless odd-fire) engine, Saginaw steering and a rear mounted fuel tank. Full top from Best Top. Good brakes, new master cylinder. The jeep is drivable but needs a carb workover as it runs somewhat rough. Frame is rust free and the frame number matches the data plates. Body appears solid.”
The shipping on this from Argentina would be a killer — However, I can’t say I’ve ever seen these for sale in the US. You can learn more about the JA-3UB here (though the translation is rough).
Here is an example of a IKA Jeep with an unusual soft top.
This looks like a fair price.

(05/17/2010) No doubt this is actually a ’45 or earlier.

“This is a 1959 Willys CJ3B. I don’t know the history it was a trade for some work. The jeep belongs to a friend of mine this is all he knows about this vehicle. The previous owner purchased the jeep in 1968 and had the body work done and the engine rebuilt at some time. The jeep runs fine and everything works! 4 wheel drive hi and low. I have not checked out the wench to see if it works but will check it out and update you as to my findings. The jeep is located in Hollister CA and needs to be picked up or driven home from here.”
This is a great looking Wagon … but who actually appraises vehicles and why don’t the know what they are doing? I mean, it appraised at $19,000? That is nuts.

Nice Slattie!
“1942 Willy’s MB slat grill #109964. DOD is: 1-8-42. A 3-year frame off restoration was completed in June 2007. This slat grill is used mostly for veteran related events, parades and car shows. This is a popular and a favorite vehicle at shows and has won several awards. It has been driven less than 1000 miles total. I drive the jeep at least once every 2-3 weeks and keep it in good working condition.
The original tub was not useable but much care was taken to detail to make the new one as accurate as possible. The slat has many of the original parts such as: brass data plates, frame, grill, split seam front seats, original back seat, steering wheel, column and steering box, short bodied distributor, “steel” marked pintal, “tiger eye” lenses, solid disc wheels, light assemblies, square shouldered footman loops, brake and clutch pedals, filterette, extinguisher and brackets, many TR20/EC/A/AA bolts and the list goes on ….”
UPDATE: Bill reports that this sold. He believes the top may still available.
(04/29/2009) This is a very nice Dj-3A and one of only a handful made in 1961 as noted by the seller.
“1961 WILLYS DJ3A DISPATCHER JEEP, Serial Number 56337 20287, I removed the hard top with plans to paint it black and get a black vinyl bikini top made, but as you can see in some of the photos, it had original military OD paint. So I thought I would offer it just as it is in case someone wanted to go back to original OD military style with stars and numbers. ….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
