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: **Status Unknown** Was $3000.
This is one odd duck.

It’s a project.

It looks like this has a once piece grill/fenders? The fenders have an indentation along each side. Gives the jeep a little different look.

“This is a 1956 willys Jeep. Civilian variant of the M38A1 military Jeep. It’s a southern Jeep with a TN title. No mileage on the title because it’s exempt. The cluster has 8k on it. Car starts up runs and drives. Just tuned up with a new carburetor. Tub is steel and is mint with no rust. Frame is also immaculate and had been completely under coated. We have been using it as a beach cruiser. Car has a little Bimini top for the summer. Powered by the original 4cyl. 134cid/70hp 1bbl. Front axle is a Dana 25 and the rear axle is a Dana 44. Tranny is a T90 3 speed. Not trying to field a million questions come look at it. Cash in hand for a ride.”
Looks like a fun ride.

Here’s an oddly updated flattie. Note the headlight mods. Runs!
“Looking to sell my Willy’s jeep Original Flathead 4 cylinder / 3 speed trans with PTO I bought this jeep out of a barn where it sat for many years. I do not have a title for it. I put brand new correct style tires and a brand new carb on it. Several other odds and ends to get it running. It runs and drives as good as a Willys ever did.”
It’s a combination of parts.

“Selling my Jeep Willys that was mounted on an International Scout frame. Comes with an International Scout title. Fenders, hood, and grill on the Jeep are in good shape. The bucket has been lengthened a few inches to help it fit on the frame. Jeep does not run, I was told that it ran when it was parked.”
UPDATE II: **Status Unknown. Was listed at $29,500 in Feb of 2020.
UPDATE: This was for sale in June of 2019 for $10k. Now it’s on sale for $29,500. This is a replica that reportedly was built for the museum. It wasn’t used on the actual show, based on the ads for this jeep that we’ve previously seen. The original Nelly Belle sold for $116,500 in 2010 and, subsequently, for $38,400 in 2018.
(02/22/2019) This was originally for sale in 2010.
(from the 2019 ad) “This 1946 CJ-2A is an exact replica of the Jeep Nellybelle used in the Roy Rogers’ TV Show of the 1950’s. It was commissioned by Roy Jr., aka Dusty Rogers. It was used at the Roy Rogers Museum for the children to climb into so that the original Nellybelle would not get all that “abuse”. We have the Certificate of Authenticity as well as pictures we took with Dusty and his son, Dustin. We are also friends with the fine gentleman who built this jeep for Dusty.
It runs well, smokes a little (it’s old enough and Dusty said it always smoked).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Well this has some unusual mods!
“Solid 1946 Jeep Willy. Runs great for a 74 year old vehicle. Great Willy for a farm,ranch or camp. A true workhorse. Came from rancher in Texas and was used on a cattle farm. Was purchased from the previous owner in Virginia where it was used as a recreation vehicle. Currently used at a kids camp in the Shenandoah Mountains. Runs strong and will turn a lot of heads.. One of the stronger old jeeps that I have seen … a true original with a powerful working winch as a bonus.”

“THIS IS A “TWEEP”
MAJURO– This combination truck and jeep was constructed by Seabees fo materials salvaged from six abandoned jeeps. With a wheelbase one-half times longer than the standard jeep, the “Tweep” accommodates eight person and gear, carries gas in its fenders.

(11/01/2019) Here’s an odd one.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/541451926430647/
“Clone willys truck/flatbed. Runs drives stops, needs seats. No rot that I see, bought off a coworker who’s moving to Florida. Was going to put axles and tires and make a woods rig, but too many projects to dedicate time on it. Has plow set up but no blade. Open to offers and trades”
Here’s an odd rig … ex mudder? Looks to be a CJ-7 with a CJ-5 rear body added to it.

“Won’t separate the tires. Looking for cash. Has title. Will include spare parts including 350 engine, trans, etc. Have about $4,500 in tires/rims. Asking 3,500 firm. Runs. Just want it gone”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $30,000.

No pic of the backside of this postcard from the Bahamas, presumably the pink sands area. I had no luck searching for more info on the web.

“Jeep called the Pink Sands Paddy Wagon. Card in very good condition. Free shipping.”
Listed as a 1953, it appears to be a 1946 CJ-2A. Has a few mods. I’ve never seen a tow mount attached above the PTO bar like this one has.

“1953 Willys cj2a Jeep.
All original, clear title, runs and drives great. Frame is in great shape, very solid. Body is in really good shape. Floors have been patched. Bed is in really good shape with no patches. New paint and decals. Interior has been rhino lined. New tail lights need wired up. Headlights work, gauge cluster works. Brakes work great. Come with another complete set of military tires. They are one size taller. Has removable bikini top. Middle seat slides right out. Just a fun Jeep that never gets used anymore.”
Thanks to Kelso Bob for sharing this unusual creation. I am curious about how the builder went about the Chassis’ ‘Bomb protection’ strategy. It’s not clear if the $40k is a real price or just a place holder.

“Willys Jeep. I don’t have the time or money to fix it up like I want. It runs and it drives just needs a face lift.”
The engine fires on this creation. Looks like a 3B hood on a CJ-5 grille with a CJ-2A windshield?

“1943 Willy needs restoration or great a toy..does fire up..cranked it a few weeks ago..”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $4500.
I thought I’d seen this for sale, but I didn’t find it in my archives.
“This is a custom Willys Jeep pickup that has been shortened and made into a convertible. It has original transmission and transfer case. It has a Ford 261 v8 witch is the predecessor to the 289. It has no rust and it also comes with a working PTO winch! I hate to sell it but I have a couple other projects I’m trying to finish and I’m a disabled vet so with Christmas on the way I need the cash! I have a like new set of nice tires I will throw in if someone gives close to my asking price! This thing has had a lot of work put into it!”
UPDATE: Was priced at $23,000. Price dropped to $16,000.
(11/13/2018) Looks like much of the body and the fenders are home made.

It’s like your buying a new Jeep in this pristine condition! A real collectors vehicle! You won’t find many like this out there.”
Some body mods on this CJ-5.

“258 inline 6 with a 3 speed runs great doesn’t leak any oil trans shifts good has 31/10.50s on it message me for more info would like to trade for a 5 speed Cherokee or a Comanche”
Someone created this custom Commando out of what was probably a rusted body.

“V6 225 3 speed T14 manual transmission. It was redone to look nice with rustoleum tractor red paint and filler. It has wood floor and homemade truck bed. I redid brakes and have it running well. Plow pump was removed. Unique and road worthy, but not highway worthy yet. Not many out there and would be great off-road as 4wd works.”
Supposed to have a rear PTO, but I don’t see it on the back? It’s got an L-head rather than an f-head.

“54 Willy’s CJ 3b, 4 cup flathead engine. Less then 50 miles on overhaul. New brake pads and master cylinder, new rear leaf springs, has the rare agricultural rims. Has the rear pto”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2700. This was previously listed in Irvine.
(09/16/2019) From the pics, it looks like there was some good work done on this.
“Very cool Willy’s Jeep all original drivetrain does not run. It looks like the cowl and windshield were grafted from a Willy’s wagon, and the steel cab is all one piece. Probably not a prototype vehicle or a relative to the CJ4, but a cool “missing link” CJ2a built with awesome craftsmanship 40+ years ago. Possibly a non-US made Jeep wagonette. Suicide doors latch. Great patina. This will be the coolest Jeep at Easter Jeep safari.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
Ken shared this cool custom utility wagon.
“Custom Willies with manually operated snow plow, dump bed, hydraulic boom lift. Chevy 283 V8 engine. Ready to plow. Cash.”
