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 .
I haven’t seen a Texas hunting jeep in a while.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a project, but there is some value. It has a PTO. Has a Kelly hardtop.
“I dont know much about willys jeeps , the man I got it from said everything works like it should . It started smoking and he took the head off the engine and lost interest in fixing it . It has been about 2 months since it has been cranked and when he tore the engine down . The jeep is very clean for its age and has a hard top with doors . All the glass is good and unbroken except for the windshield , which has a large crack down the center of it. The tires look to be very new and excellent shape with very deep lugs on the thread. It has a tow bar on the front end and a bumper with place to put a trailer ball on the rear . Would make a excellent hunting jeep or a great restoration peice . I am unsure of the exact year model , I was told it is a cilivian jeep not a military jeep. Has high and low range transfer-case and four wheel drive . Does have some rust , mainly the drivers floor board next to the door . It is painted camo all over with leave print on it . Jeep is for sale as-is , where-is , and I am not promising anything . I have described it to the best of my knowledge . It has warn lock-in lock-out hubs . The exhaust system looks to be recently replaced . The doors , back hatch and tail-gate open and shut as they should . Has seats that flip up in the middle to access the back . No rear seat . All parts to the engine are inside the Jeep , including the carburator .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $30,000
(04/15/2011) This has an unusual paint job. It’s got the wrong tailgate.
” -1948 Willys Jeep 47CJ2A Original 4 cylinder Willys engine – runs very good but not driven very often, Body is straight, Back half interior floor has diamond plate protection, New tailgate, Sport wheels, Chrome front and rear bumpers, Ramsey 9000 lb winch front mounted, Trailer hitch, Front and rear tow hooks. Were open 10a-6p M-Sat. We LOVE trade-ins and Cash Offers”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Check out the the bulges in the entry points on both the passenger and driver’s sides. Somehow the body or entire frame & body have been bent down in the center. Add to this strange issue is the claim this rig only has 17k miles or so. Then there are the modified steps and modified gas tank inlet. I’d run the other direction on this one.

With that cammo paint job it is hard to determine the state of the body. It appears pretty good though.

Dave spotted this cool wagon.
“This is an original barn find. The exterior paint is the original 1948 paint. This vehicle sits on a 1984 Nissan hardbody Truck chassis . Wagon has power brakes, disc brakes, power steering, 1999 Suburban 350 motor with a 2 speed Powerglide tranny, NEW Edelbrock carb, aluminum radiator. Runs very strong.
Has custom woodgrain airbrushed dash & window trims. Original wood slats in the back area. Also has new wide white wall tires with Mooneye disc caps. Cadillac Escalade leather seat. All new windows and rubbers and felts. New after market gauges. Has some rust, the patina is perfect. Needs headliner, window cranks, and few other odds and ends (nothing major).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
I have seen militarized CJ-2As, but never surreyized CJ-2As.
“1948 Willys CJ2A
The old “Pink Jeep” has been in the barn for the last 15 years. Converted to 12 volt about 10 years ago and haven’t started it for about 8 years. My son took the top off when he was a teenager and the doors are in the back. One door has a cracked window. I have two old heaters and an extra seat that goes with it. It has two newer back tires. I think some jerk popped off the VIN number plate when my wife had a barn sale a few years ago and I don’t have a title for her which is unfortunate. It was my father’s jeep and he bought it from an old lady who painted it up to look like a jeep on Fantasy Island. I hauled it down from the U.P. where it was used for bird hunting. It ran well and the transfer case is good. It does not leak oil. I put oil mixed with a little kerosene in the cylinders and needs changing. Would make a good project, but never got around to it. We are downsizing. It’s in pretty good shape compared to others I have seen in this price range.”
UPDATE: Was $1400. **SOLD**
(05/27/2011) Unclear if it runs or not.

Truly, one of a kind paint job.
“1951 Willys Jeep CJ3, powered by a 1966 Buick V6 engine. Three speed, lock out hubs. Most of it is original with exception of the engine and the seats. In decent shape but needs some TLC at this point. Hasn’t been started in a while but last time I used it it ran strong. Haven’t had time to do much with it over last two years and basically it’s just been sitting in the garage. Pretty much garage kept ’til about 3 weeks ago. Recently moved and decided to sell it ’cause storage space is now an issue. It has a title. Not looking to trade – just looking to sell. $3300 or best offer. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

(02/10/2011) Nice Jeep, but no WWII history here.
“Own a piece of WWII history with a slight twist. 1948 Willys Jeep, very healthy 283 / automatic, crawling suspension, Trans cooler, Headers and 650 Holley, Large Mickey’s great for snow plowing. I have a snow plow to match that can be purchased. Jeep can be sold without plow only, not plow without jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(09/02/2010) This looks good, except for what appears to be some damage near the rear wheel on the driver’s side.
“Two wheel drive station wagon. 4 cylinder 3-speed with overdrive. New bronze glass, new brakes and wheel cylinders, new chrome wheels and tires. Runs great. Nice original Jeep. Doug”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600.
(01/16/2011) This looks like a good little runner for a reasonable price. The body does have a few body patches.
“1959 Willys Jeep CJ5 with about 27,000 miles on the speedometer (speedometer was disconnected when I bought the Jeep). 3-speed with high/low range and 4×4. Has the front locking hubs. 12-volt system. Rebuilt starter motor and carburetor last week.
Wheels are 15 inch and in great condition with good Michelin 33×12.5 tires on them with good tread remaining. Previous owner invested over $900 in wheels and tires alone.
A few small rust spots under the paint and it is not a professional paint job but it looks good. The jeep does have a rust hole in the glove box and in the compartment under the passenger seat as well as some through the back bumper. There are metal plates screwed on across the back, in the bed, and on the front floors due to rusting of the original metal I presume. Some fiberglass repairs have been made on the back fenders also. Overall it is a very solid jeep.
It runs strong with no problems, starts and drives great. Previous owner took the glass out of the windshield frame. Needs turns signals, brake light wires connected,, and a windshield.
I have a top and two doors from a Humvee that I’ll include with the jeep. They are in good condition except for a hole in one of the plastic windows. They would need customizing to be able to be put on the jeep though.”
