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 $1000.
The winch alone looks worth a few hundred.
“1947 Willy Jeep rusted red 6 cylinder”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(10/26/2012) It sounds like it needs work.
“Willys 1947 Jeep CJ 2A . Runs and drives but needs restoration completed . Many new Parts . $ 4000. If your not a ” Jeep Person ” and can’t do your own work …. This probably isn’t for you.”
This one-owner 7000 mile DJ-3A Surrey is for sale and will be at the Willys Reunion. It’s been in storage for 30 years. No word on the price.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Marc spotted this jeep. It has a good story.
“I’ve had this great running little jeep for several years. I’m thinking I may want to pursue a different hobby so it may be time for my Jeep to move to a new home. I purchased this from a friend of mine (WWII aircraft mechanic) that used it at Centennial Airport to pull vintage airplanes around the hanger. The reported history is it was originally purchased by the US Navy in Hawaii and used as a shore patrol or similar right after the war. Although there were many Army jeeps in the area, the Navy purchased a few right after the war directly from local dealers (sounds like a mini-stimulus program). I verified this info from a WWII Jeep forum on the web called G503.com. In any event, the story goes it was in military service for a few months but then was surplused and ended up in New Mexico. There are brass plaques attached that reference 1946 dates of service. It spent the 50s-70s or so there until it was purchased by a local, well known construction company CEO. It ended up at Centennial Airport here in Colorado and WWII veteran guys and that is where I found it. Long story short (well, kind of short), I ended up with it. I have used it to run into town, pick up kids from school, parades, and even taken it from the bottom to the top of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park and even on the highest paved road in America. Although she was breathing heavy at the top, she made it without missing a beat. The bottom line is this little guy never left me stranded even during high-altitude testing! It’s been kept inside for at least the last 20 years and hasn’t seen off road use.
The bidding starts at $9000. This appears to have the wrong grille for a 1952. However, on the sign on the front bumper it reads 1953. So that might explain why it lacks the grille, because it’s actually a ’53 model.
“Totally rebuilt engine (less than 1500 miles), new tires and tubes, new canvas top and seats. Many more new and spare parts. Body has 33K miles. Engine has less than 1200 miles.”

Here’s a DJ-3A in great shape. Note the frame is purple.
“First of all,I must start by saying that this NOT a post office jeep,. In 1955 &1956 Willys put out this vehicle & called it a Jeep Dispatcher / Delivery vehicle ,ideal for use in congested metropolitan areas. To me it’s just a cool little jeep. This jeep had a frame off restoration a couple years back,at that time the original owner changed the transmission from a manual 3 speed synchromesh to a turbo 350 automatic with a 6 volt system.The original transmission is included,every nut &bolt was saved just incase to switch it back. The jeep is in great shape & runs good. Just had it inspected in may 2013,Ican’t think of anything it needs,besides maybe a tune up. $500.”
Someone forwarded this jeep to me, but I can’t find the email now. Nice looking M-38A1.

“Restored a few years ago and mostly been sitting since. Great for parades or off road driving, this is an authentic WWII military Jeep.”

(12/20/2012) This poor jeep has rusted away. I’m not sure there is too much value left here.
“I have had this CJ for 25 + years with the hopes of restoring it.
Now I give up or give out so I am tring to sell it so it can go 4
Wheeling once again. I have a clear title in hand and I have all
of the shift pattern transfer and title or Model plate that goes with
this Jeep. ”
Marc spotted this unsual DJ-3A. The back has been extended and the dash contains a glovebox, but otherwise there’s lots of DJ-3A elements here. I didn’t know there were DJ-3A ambulances. Anyone ever seen one?
“Fully equipped DJ3A ambulance, well restored over the past years, very good technical condition, new tyres, good condition canvas softtop, etc…”

“Original condition 1960 Willy’s pickup. It’s in excellent condition with only 25,602 miles on it. The last inspection was in December 2012. It’s in “hop-in-and-drive” condition. There is a snow plow included. We’re asking $20,00 or best offer.”
I didn’t realize how many DJ models came with the inline 6. Apparently, that’s the reason for the bumped out hood in front.
“1978 Jeep DJ5-F. This is a retired United States Postal service Jeep so it is right hand drive. Has inline 6 cylinder, Automatic Transmission, aftermarket cab heater, runs and drives (but will need tune-up and carburetor clean/rebuild) Will have to taken away on trailer due to running rough, expired tabs, no insurance and right turnsignal isn’t working. I bought this as a project vehicle but have not time to fix it up. I have put over $1000 in parts into the vehicle already. Has new tires, new wheels, new front shocks, newer battery and a new muffler just to mention the big purchases. Odometer only goes up to 99,999, therefor I have no idea how many miles it truly has. Any questions please contact me by call or text at 715-205-8068”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $20,000.
“Original owner ordered it from the Toledo factory. Stored in a heated garage since day 1. 14,000 original miles. Probably the best example of a original CJ6 survivor. Paint still shines like new. Under the hood is near perfect. Original vinyl top windows are crystal clear. Maintained by local Jeep dealer. Still wears the original Goodyear Suburbanite tires it left the factory with. The seat covers are like new. It has been featured in our 2008 Jeep Classics Calendar and Vintage Truck Magazine.
It has a factory installed Ramsey winch on the front, wheel well cushions as well as a backseat and CB radio. The original owner had an ambulance service. This was his offroad ambulance and the 53 was its fleet number. He would make a run with it, bring it back and wash it down, back it into the garage and cover it up.
The pictures don’t do it justice. The paint is as shiney as the day it rolled off the line.”

“MANY MORE PHOTOS can seen here on an external website. (Can’t be posted here on Craigslist. Email and I will send you the link)
For sale is a Willys-Overland 1947 CJ2A fully restored frame up, with original L-134 flat head motor. Engine serial #J98994, frame serial #96785. Tub is a repli-tub purchased direct from willys=Overland, but we have the original tub serial #CJ-2a 96785 data plate that goes with the vehicle to the new owner.
Restoration completed 2000-2001 by experienced vintage car restorer, and it has been garaged indoors ever since. Has only been driven for about 400 miles since the restoration. Painted pasture green to match original paint. New canvas on seats. No top bows. Converted to 12v system, with original rebuilt starter still in operation. Have the original 6v parts if someone wants to convert back. Also have 2 spare carbs and misc parts.
This Willys is very solid and sound, there are no problems mechanically or otherwise. Ready to drive, parade, park, hunt, or whatever. Starts right up without any hesitation every time. Selctro hubs. 4 wheel drive works smooth and easy.
This vehicle will go anywhere, climb anything, and do just about anything! Speedometer works, but probably needs a little calibrating. Gas gauge works sometimes, well, most of the time, but there is an alternate gas gauge included in the sale (24″ wooden dip stick, never lies and doesnt need calibrating).
Tires are new NDT 700-15 (non-direction tread) purchased from Coker Tire with about 400 miles of use, plus matching rubber for spare tire (no rim).
All major parts are original, the grill, hood, fenders, and windshield (new glass and seals) are all original and completely restored.
Currently licensed in OR with Oregon Antique Vehicle plates. Frame, and serial number data plate match.”

This looks solid.
“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A. This vehicle was done as a frame-off rebuild. Runs well and drives well. This was not a complete restoration. This vehicle was done to be driven for fun, rather than to be a show piece. That being said, here is a brief list of the work that was done:
Frame and body cleaned prepped and painted.
New headlights and tailights
New gauges
New seats
New front floor pans
New brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders, lines, front drums, shoes, and springs.
New front wheel bearings
New air cleaner
