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 $4800.
The seller believes this has NOT been restored. It appears in good condition.
“Never restored original. Good Shape. Driven regulary in the summer. have soft top with doors and various extra parts. Serious inquiries only by phone. No emails. $4800”
UPDATE: **SOLD** for $10,500
“This is a Willys Jeep pickup used exclusively for a Fire Department brush fire response vehicle. It spent it’s life garaged, warm and clean. Because of this it has no rust and 29K original miles. It is BETTER than a frame-up restoration, because it hasn’t yet gotten to the point of needing restoring. It is still a fun, reliable, licensed and inspected daily driver in the mechanical condition of any truck with 29K miles. Of course, there are the added perks of a loud siren and flashing lights if you want to be noticed even more. I have owned it for five years (bought it directly from the fire company) and would be happy to keep it, but like many people, I have growing cash flow problems, so I have to take a cold look at my priorities. It is time to sell. I have set a fair and reasonable reserve for the quality of this antique. It is located near Binghamton, NY and you could drive it home if you wanted, but it would be a crime to run up needless mileage and wear. A flat bed trailer would be best, or hire a car hauler. This is a 50 year old antique, so naturally there is no warranty. Sold as-is, where-is. Try to get your questions in well before the auction ends so I have time to answer.”
That’s a crazy rollbar.
“This is a 1946 Willys jeep, the motor does not run. The motor has not ran for 8 years, and does not have any spark plugs in it. The jeep was running 8 years ago, it was parked in a barn for 5 years, and has been outside for 3 years. It has been owned by the same person for 21 years. This is a perfect project jeep, if I had the time I would buy it myself. The jeep cannot be towed away, it will have to be pulled away with a trailer. Any questions call 614-206-5254, I do not check e-mail often please use phone number. I have more pictures I can e-mail if you call me. ”

This looks in good shape. I don’t see any dash plates.
“Very early 46 Cj2a column shift. Would make a great restoration jeep or drive as is. Had it registerd and drove daily up to last year…. Original color pasture Green, Serial # 142xx, original motor”
This might be worth a closer look.
“1949? Willys CJ2A. pretty much complete, has not ran in a while, but it turns over nicely. all stock. pto winch, tow bar, soft top. floors and tub sides have had the rust cut out and new metal welded in. not perfect, but very functional. great 16″ traction tires. NO title. I have checked Oregon, Washington, Cali, Idaho, and Nevada, and there are no records on this rig. It obviously has not been titled in a long time. Forms required by Oregon dmv from these states are available online. complete and send in as part of the title process.”

It looks solid.
“Restored 1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep. Approximately 50 miles on overhauled original flathead 4 cylinder engine. Lock-out hubs, high/low 4-wheel drive, aluminum factory top, original 16 inch rims.”

This might be a good price, especially if you already have an extra radiator.
“1957 4 X 4 Willys Jeep pickup, straight 6 cylinder engine. This would be a great restoration vehicle, lots of parts available. The engine starts and runs; it does need a new radiator. I bought it for a desert runner, however, I found a CJ2A don’t need both. $600.00 . Will trade for a trailer big enough for a Jeep CJ. I can be contacted on my cell 602-321-4379, the vehicle is located near Gilbert and Broadway in Mesa.”

It’s dirty and there’s a dent in the left rear corner, but otherwise it looks solid.

“1943 WWII Jeep runs great. Also a parts Jeep. $5,500”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is rough, but it has both a PTO Winch and Newgren Hitch.
“You are bidding on a early model Jeep FC 150 parts truck that has a Newgren Company 3 pt. hitch. Model #BL 4770. The truck also has a Ramsey bed mounted PTO Winch set up with the pto and lever still installed, including chains to the sprockets. The truck had this rare combination installed when bought and was used on a farm. At one point the Jeep had motor trouble, and the truck was left sitting. The Newgren hitch is still installed and the truck would work great as a “library vehicle” to see how to install it onto your Willys CJ2A, CJ3, FC150, FC170 ,or CJ3B. The hitch is in rough condition, but the basic parts are there to use, refurbish, or use as a pattern. The original hydraulic ram and pump were were not installed on the truck when I purchased the Jeep. You can use a 12 volt pump and ram from Northern Tool, Grainger, etc. to power the hitch or look for an original. Some folks have also used the snow plow hydraulic pumps from Willys vehicles that are a little more common.
Please look at the photos carefully (the red cj2a is NOT INCLUDED!) You are getting a good starting point for an ultra rare 3 pt. hitch setup for a Willys Jeep. The condition is such that you will need to rebuild, refurbish, and add/replace parts. You also get a pto winch with the attachments to bed mount it, the pto attached to the transfer case and the control lever. The rest of the truck is included, but would only be good for some parts. The truck is rolling on its own and I can help load on a trailer.
To aid you with restoration, FARMJEEP>COM has an extensive write up on the restoration, installation, and additional parts sourcing of a very similar hitch. Please look at theses pictures closely. The condition requires work, but could add remendous value to your Willys or Jeep when installed and refurbished. Still has the original Newgren Comapny tag.”
UPDATE: I don’t know if this sold or not.
Here’s a very nicely restored CJ-5 just up the road from me.
“Body off restoration, epoxy primered all parts, 5 coats urethane paint (Omaha Orange). All excellent. When I purchased this vehicle it had 32k miles on it. It now shows 117 miles due to new Speedo cluster. Many new parts: New radiator, water pump, hoses and belts. Fuel system, charging system. Hi torque starter. New clutch, rebuilt transmission and T case with new emergency brake assembly and cable. T case, Tranny and axles filled with synthetic 70-90 gear lube. Complete exhaust system. (5) Toyo tires mounted on chrome wheels. New tinted windshield with 2 electric wipers. Engine is original (F134) and runs excellent. The body is original, and rust free. The following items are currently not installed on vehicle; Heater (needs new core, have all sheet metal parts but needs 3 new cable controls). Horn (haven’t been able to locate a stock horn). Wiring and relay are installed. 2 Doors and hardware (I have and go with vehicle.)” Many extra spare parts in boxes go with vehicle. This is a great driving/reliable jeep with original engine, transmission, T- case, axles, suspension and gearing.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(08/03/2010) This would make a fun restore if the old panel art work could be saved. Maritime Hardware.
“I PURCHASED TWO 1956 WILLYS PANEL DELIVERY TRUCKS FROM A PRIVATE OWNER IN NEW JERSEY, BOTH VEHICLES CAME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE ONE AFTER THE OTHER ONLY 786 WERE MADE. I AM DOING A FRAME UP TOTAL RESTORATION ON ONE, AND I AM SELLING THE OTHER ONE, THESE VEHICLES ARE EXTREMELY RARE IN THIS CONDITION, YES THERE IS SOME LOWER BODY RUST, BUT THE MAIN BODY, THE FRAME, ORIGINAL MOTOR (SUPER HURRICAINE 6 CYLINDER) DRIVE TRANE, AND TRANSMISSION ARE COMPLEATLY INTACT. ALL INTERIOR GUAGES ARE ORIGINAL AND ARE IN GREAT SHAPE, THERE IS ONE DOUBLE SEAT (DRIVERS SIDE) THE RUST IS CONTAINED ONLY TO THE WHEEL WELLS, AND MOSTLY THE LOWER PARTS OF THE TRUCK, BUT THE PARTS TO FIX ARE EASILY AVAILABLE AS I HAVE REPLACED THEM ON THE OTHER VEHICLE ALREADY, THE FRAME IS PERFECT, NO RUST. YOU CAN SEE MY VEHICLE DURING ITS CURRENT RESTORATION BECAUSE BOTH VEHICLES ARE AT THE SAME GARAGE. CLEAR TITLE AND VIN GO ALONG WITH IT”
Greg spotted this old Burma up for auction in Denver. There’s something about the placement of the headlights that makes me think these vehicles appear hunched over in some way, ready to bear their load.
“1943 Ford Burma Jeep. Unrestored as shown. Stored at least 10 years, either driveline or engine, or both siezed or locked up from non-use, so expect motor and driveline restoration is also needed. Does not run or drive. Rust on stake bed areas, as shown.
“US Navy” marked on the engine cover data plate, Also visible is “149958” which is the title VIN number, and other number appears to be “90148”, but not guaranteed. Other data plates are nearly illegible, sorry.
Sold with title, SALVAGE Colorado Title. Vehicle was used off road on a mountain property for many years, and was not driven the last several years. It was easier to replace a long lost title as a salvage vehicle, otherwise the vehicle would have had to be brought into running/driving condition and submitted for inspections, etc. So for now the vehicle is not intended for registered highway use in Colorado, until the new owner brings it into running/driving condition, meets any other guidelines necessary, and applies for previously salvage title. Please check with your local authorities if you intend to restore and/or make road worthy for public roads, or if any inspections or other procedures would be required.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
“1962 Jeep FC-170. This is a bone stock truck with the exception of the wheels and tires. Has had alot of work done to bring it back from the dead, runs and drives as well as an old jeep would. 226 Super Hurricane flathead 6 engine, T90 3 speed trans, T18 Transfer case. Since owning this I have cleaned and flushed the fuel system, rebuilt carb, rebuilt the rear brakes with all new parts, including new model backing plates to be able to move the E-brake to the wheels instead of the drum behind the transfer case. Brake is still on transfer case, this was done for later powertrain upgrade. Read diff has had the posi unit rebuilt with OEM clutches, and new axle bearings. Front wheel cylinders are replaced and a new master cylinder. New water pump and clutch. I hate to let this go, I was looking forward to putting in a modern powertain and having a completely unique truck to use, but priorities have changed.”
The seller believes this to be a rare Maverick Wagon. I couldn’t say for sure, maybe someone else can?
“1960 Willys 2 wheel Drive/with Overdive All orginal stock. Has been stripped to bear metal and Primed ready for paint. Daily driver, spair engine, New tires, Extra Glass. Ready to restor or customise. more photos available. ”

I think those are doors on the hood rather than a hood mod. The jeep looks good.

This includes a Saturn OD and other new parts. However, I’d check out the body closely as the passenger side step appears to be partly pulled away from the body.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A- Original 4 cylinder/3 speed with a Saturn overdrive unit, 12 volt electronic ignition
New radiator, shocks, steering wheel, springs, plugs, valves, valve springs, carborator, exhaust, exhaust manifold, and clutch. Complete Brake job with 2 new brake drums.

A reader named Shep spotted this very clean, original looking wagon.
“Willys Wagon 1956 4×4, 327 chevy runs great, very solid & clean truck, spent its life in california until being shipped to missouri 6 months ago. 660-229-2060”

“This Willys is not prefect but damn good. It could not run better. Straight body. Windless wench on front bumper. I’m the 4th owner and am friends with 2 of the other 3. was bought new in 1946 by the Childress Texas fire department (that’s why it’s red) and was retired in 1972 and was in there 4th of july parade yearly (thats when the wheels were put on) and then sold at auction to my buddy in 1992 when it was brought to Friday Harbor were it has been since. I drive it all the time and keep it well maintained. Parts are easy to find and pretty cheap. A new carb was only $125, in the box. Driving with the windshield down is legal with eye protection, and is a blast. Have all paper work, parts catalog and service manual. I’ve been pricing Willys for the 4 years and believe this to be a fair price. Am happy to answer questions. If your looking for a fun ride that gets attention, this is it. Everyone seems to have a Willys story, why not be one of them.”
