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 $14,900.
Looks solid, but if it has a flat head engine, then the engine is not original.
“For Sale 1953 JEEP WILLYS CJ-3B FLAT FENDER with original 4 CYL FLAT HEAD ENGINE. Three Manual Transmission. Everything Works. Runs and drives great. No mechanical problems. No Rust. Beautiful paint Job. Must See to appreciate. Come test drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,000.
Looks in good shape.
“Date of delivery 10/29/43. Original body and tub. Original engine, transmission and running gear. 6 volt system. Matching data plate and frame numbers. Beachwood canvas. 4 new Goodyear S3 military tires with original Goodyear spare tire. All tires are mounted on combat rims. New wiring harness and gauges. Frame hat channels are in good condition.

Has no title, the two left tires are seized, and the floor could use a patch or replacement, but overall could make a good restoration project as the rust may be limited to the floors. Note the windshield wiper fluid bag in the engine compartment.

“My dad passed away last year, and I’m cleaning out our family’s barn and we have a 1959 Willy’s Jeep with a Koenig cab and a plow.
Just pulled it out of our barn for the first time in over 40 years. My grandpa used it as a snowplow and it’s just been sitting since (metal warehouse on a concrete floor).
Don’t really know much about it other than what you can see in the pictures. Comes with a spare tire and the original snowchains. Only 17,094 original miles!
Don’t have the title, but I do have a bunch of old registration forms, as well as the Power of Attorney paperwork you would need to get a replacement title.
Two left tires are seized, other than that don’t know anything about it mechanically.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,500.
Looks in good shape, but I could only see one pic (the one below). Craigslist was acting odd.

UPDATE: **SOKD** Was $15,500.
Appears to be rust free and pretty original.

UPDATE: **SOLD** for $6000.
(08/04/2018) It’s missing a few minor things, but over all is in pretty good shape. Has an odd set of hubcaps. As usual, it lacks the soft top. I’m beginning to wonder if people hated the soft top (the visibility would have been worse than a standard soft top), so they simply got rid of the soft tops. It’s listed as a 1957, but the serial number puts it as an early 1956.
“THIS IS A 1957 WILLYS DJ-3A. IT IS PART OF A LARGE COLLECTION OF EARLY WILLYS JEEPS THAT WERE ALL STORED AWAY OVER 33 YEARS AGO.
THIS JEEP IS ALL ORIGINAL WITH EXCEPTION OF THE SEATS. IT HAS A SOLID BODY, 4 CYLINDER 134 CI MOTOR, 3 SPEED TRANS WITH COLUMN SHIFT, AND 2WD.
THIS JEEP HAS BEEN UNUSED FOR MANY YEARS NOW. I PURCHASED IT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION OF THE BODY, VERY STRAIGHT WITH NO RUST. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN ANY RESTORATION. THIS JEEP RUNS GREAT, HOWEVER MAY NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP. 56337 10252”
UPDATE: Still Available? It has been listed for a couple years.
(03/14/2018) Looks pretty unmolested. I wonder how the floors are.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $23,000.
This MB was restored by the seller’s father who served in Japan. If you live near Williamsburg or are/were an MVPA member, you may have seen it in local parades.
“1944 restored Willy’s Army Jeep. My late WWII Veteran Father purchased this restored Jeep in 2000 from a Gentleman in Louisville KY. My Dad drove one like it in Japan during the War. He used this one for local parades.
He had a stroke in 2008, and I became his driver for the events. He just passed this April at 94. It needs to go to someone who can appreciate it and use it like my Father did. Selling to help settle his Estate.
New Tires put on 10/2017 Coker 6.00-16 Military Tires
All oils changed two years ago. We only did about two Parades a year, dependent on the weather. Last parade we did was in 2019.
Everything works at it should. Very low maintenance vehicle.
Was stored in my climate controlled drive-in basement.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $17,500.

This could possibly be a late 1948 or 1949 CJ-2A. Either that or it is a 3A with a replacement 2A body.

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/cto/d/san-gabriel-1956-willys-jeep-cj6/7174448826.html
“Mostly original – 4cyl hurricane engine, 3 spd transmission, front lock/unlock hubs, 6V. Vintage hard top with glass in-tact. Matching spare wheel. Engine bay reasonably clean, engine and drive train needs solid cleaning. Gauges mostly not working, 6 volt, wiring has had a few things added but it is mostly original. Floor boards rough. Tires hold air but are not road-worthy. 26xxx on the ODO but it isn’t working. Needs fuel line cleaning and new gas tank (or have it refurbed). Originally forest green. Bring a trailer or get ready to tow it (2” tow kit installed and goes with vehicle).
There’s some kind of bar installed between the front frame rails. Unclear what it did/does.
https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/bar/d/mckinney-1951-willys-jeep-mb/7135110745.html
“All original!! Original four-cylinder 60hp motor, all lights in working order that air raid light/blackout light is the light on the fender as well as the headlights even the gauge lights work! Tires are almost new but I have been driving it quite a bit lately… Original windshield wipers that are exhaust fed, original front and rear seats, original plates on the dashboard As well as all the brackets on the bumpers for lifting and towing… original even down to the front tow rope. Too many extra list!
Mechanically this jeep is amazing! The brakes have been re-done recently you can see it in the photos… This jeep goes maximum speed of 50 miles an hour most of these jeeps only go 30 to 35… It’s reliable starts every time even when it hasn’t been driven for weeks! Transmission is great all the gears work including the low and high, all the axles work, this is a running machine and I’ve been using it to drive my daughter to school each day and take the family out on rides on the weekends.
No tire kickers please serious inquiries only! I don’t have time for time wasters that have a lot of questions and want to talk about history… Serious callers only… Text is great and if we want to proceed we can talk on the phone…”
