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 $3800.
This looks in reasonable condition. I do wonder what gun fighter shot a hole in the hood of this poor, defenseless jeep.
“Please make calls between 7AM and 9PM mountain time 406-591-9090. GREAT huntin’ rig or topless summer fun. F-head 4-cylinder , 12 volt factory system , all new bulbs. heater works great , seats are very nice , no rips or split seams. It has character , runs great , no smoke.

I think some better photos would be very helpful. Unclear if it runs.

(03/17/2010) It looks like a nice jeep. I’d like to see more pics.
“We have a Jeep Willy’s that we’re trying to sell. I need my husband to give me a list of all the information, but you are welcome to call and ask questions. I believe it’s a 1942, but I could be wrong on the exact year in the 40’s. I do know that it has a Corvette engine in it. It has the two seats in front and a bench seat in back. It can squeal the tires and leave black marks down my driveway! It has 4 wheel drive and a 4 speed tranny. I have a bunch more pictures if you’re interested. Call us at 289-4012”

I’d say the jury is out on the ‘best in the country’ as only one pic is provided.
“This is quite possibly the nicest CJ2A in the country! Basically, this is a brand new Willys. New body, frame, suspension, all lines and gaskets, rebuilt engine and tranny, new carb, battery, seat frames and upholstery, all electriclas are new and updated, most nuts and bolts are stainless steel, new gas tank and sender, all brackets and straps are new, new windshield and glass, new horn and button, new brakes, brackets and switches. The engine has been fired, but not broken in yet. This is a brand new restoration never taken out of the garage! Please, very serious inquiries only. Asking price is much less than restoration cost. 315 492 9983 leave message.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(02/26/2010) This looks like a good price.
“Stock 4 cyl. Flat Head Motor and drive train. All steel body. New Rancho leaf springs and series 9000 shocks. New aggressive tread tires. 12 Volt electrical conversion. Bikini top only. Tow Bar and high lift jack included. $5000.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,995
(06/24/09) This is a nice looking CJ-3B, however I don’t think it will fetch the asking price. I’m gonna guess that the tranny is a T-15. I had a T-15 (with a built buick 225) in my last jeep and thought it was fine for both racing, jeeping and the road.
“1953 body with a 1948 frame, Complete frame off restoration, All new body panels replaced except tub. Front/Rear differential completey rebuilt.

I suspect these pics don’t do justice to the paint job. They make it appear blotchy
“1946 Willys CJ Jeep. New brakes, transmission, paint, tires and upholstrey. Front and back seat, roll bar in back.”
Nice looking Jeepster that has had one owner.

This looks very nice. What is that mounted in the middle of the dash/windshield frame?
“WTS I need money to pay bills so my toy must go. I have a ’42 Willys that has a Buick V-6 engine with tube headers, Offenhaeuser dual plane manifold with Holley 4 barrel carb.

Looks good.

Here’s a nice looking truck.
“has v8 350 engine power stering brakes new tiers clucth water pump fuel pump ex nedds some work but does run good 4×4 works”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3700
(11/19/09) This looks nice enough, though I’m not sure why the builder didn’t paint the extension body pieces. The frame looks to be a mid to late 70s, early 80s CJ frame as best I can tell.
“fully custom rock crawler, 304 with msd and edelbrock upgrades.roll bar, complete soft top, including doors. bikini top as shown on the pictures, this is a bad jeep she;ll take you anywhere. reason for selling it, this shitty economy finally hit, my loss your gain. call for details,323 474 6284. no trades unless 1986 to 1991 suzuki gsxr 750 no stockies, plus cash, blue and white prefer, thanks for looking.”

It’s a nice looking rig & trailer.

This looks like a very nice CJ-3B for the price.
“Available now is my ’53 Willys Jeep. It appears unmolested – which is to say that it looks reasonably stock and is in very good condition for its age. Adult owned – garaged. Has a functioning 8-track tape player (and tapes) and a Johnson 23ch CB radio, too. Included (but not shown) is a rear cargo rack and a fold-down rear seat. Also included is a Bikini top. Mechanically, it has had all of the desirable modifications done: Buick V6, SM420 transmission, Saginaw steering, Warn winch, KC lites, etc. I replaced the entire suspension last year…new leaf springs, shocks, shackles…even new grease fittings! I’d consider trades for a very cherry Samurai, Toyota 4×4/4Runner, or maybe a small convertible sports car like a Miata. I have many pics of this Willys and would be glad to forward some to you. E-mail me with questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(12/26/09) Here’s a nice looking restoration.
“Frame off restoration. Original powertrain, 4 Cyl L-Head engine, new carburetor, resealed intake and exhaust manifolds. Underneath of body was cleaned and undercoated when body was off the frame. Frame was cleaned and undercoated and painted.All body bushings are new. Completely new wiring from front to rear, 12V system. All new gauges, speedo cable and e-brake cables. New stock seats and frames. Have the stock rear seat, but will need to be recovered. New paint last June, inside and outside of tub, grille and hood. New rear brakes, hardware, wheel cylinders and brake hoses. New e-brake shoes, hardware and master cylinder. Haven’t done anything with the front brakes. The front locking hubs will need to be replaced.”
This is a well done rebuild with a variety of interesting mods. It’s worth a look through many of the images.
UPDATE: **SOLD**
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ2a, Jeep comes with An extra set of tires and a top.. All of the electical has been replaced and all of the gauges and lights works.. Jeep is still 6 volt and runs, it has been stilling for quite sometime and needs the carb cleaned/rebuilt (jeep runs alittle rough and starts hard)….Please feel free to ask questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3795.
This certainly has some unusual features. I can’t say I’ve seen a roll bar quite like that either. There are no comments by the seller, other than the mileage of 276 miles.
