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 $2200.
This appears in solid shape. Might be a good deal.
“Runs good, possible trade for commuter.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500
(10/16/09) I suspect this is a little rougher than the seller suggests. I’m not sure if it runs or not.
“All original ,4wheel drive, only thing it needs mechanically is some engine wiring. Would be a nice project for anyone who’s into antiques or 4 wheel drives. Makes a great off-road jeep! Asking $2500 obo, hate to sell it, but we’re moving and can’t take it with us. Might also be willing to trade for dependable 4door car or extended cab truck. Call 913-269-9801 -Jason”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(12/26/09) Here’s a nice looking restoration.

Frame was cleaned and undercoated and painted.All body bushings are new. Completely new wiring from front to rear, 12V system. All new gauges, speedo cable and e-brake cables.

UPDATE: Still available
(03/23/2010) Given the plow, there might be some value here.
“1954 Willy Jeep Station wagon, with plow runs ok, needs some tlc. 4×4 works good. 3spd trans, original 226 6cyl., plow work good, no title, rare collectors item….”
http://wausau.craigslist.org/cto/1675845520.html
UPDATE: **SOLD**
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ2a, Jeep comes with An extra set of tires and a top.. All of the electical has been replaced and all of the gauges and lights works.. Jeep is still 6 volt and runs, it has been stilling for quite sometime and needs the carb cleaned/rebuilt (jeep runs alittle rough and starts hard)….Please feel free to ask questions.”
This might be a great, relatively easy restoration project. It looks in very good shape for the price.
“
ORIGINAL 1949 WILLYS JEEPSTER CONVERTABLE STARTS AND RUNS. ALL ORIGINAL HAVE TITLE AND ORIGINAL SIDE CURTAINS..”
http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/1674846023.html
It looks like there is $450 worth of parts on this jeep. It even runs!
“1955 Willys Jeep project or for parts – it has a sears roebuck upper body, 4 cylinder standard, does run but needs work. $450 or close offer, must be sold by Sunday 4/11. It’s not nice but it’s 55 years old and parts are getting harder to find. I hate to cut it up for scrap metal but I need it gone. Comes with bill of sale only.”

UPDATE: Still available
(12/26/09) “
1964 4-cylinder, 4-wheel drive Willys Wagon. Runs well. Excellent condition. Electrical replaced, converted to 12-volt. See photos.”
http://toledo.craigslist.org/cto/1674699102.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a sharp looking CJ-5.
“1966 Jeep Willys CJ5 Totally Restored, Hard to find in this condition. Must Have!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
(12/03/09) It’s a bit beat up, but it’s got indents. It doesn’t have a column shift. It includes a trailer not shown.
“Vintage Willys in good running condition. This Willys has been used at a ranch in the Texas Hill Country (warehouse stored) for the past several years. I am selling the ranch, so the Jeep is available. NO Title. This is a RANCH jeep….has not been driven on city streets in several years. Also available is a custom made trailer to haul this vehicle (additional $750 for the trailer). Trailer has valid TX license plate. The Jeep has been converted to 12 volt, has a recent starter, almost new tires, plus many more features.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
This also includes in overdrive.
“1947 Willys CJ2A. This is a great jeep for restoration, or a daily driver. The frame, engine and running gear are excellent. The body has rust under the doors and on the floor. It is solid enough to drive every day, and there is still enough there to restore. This jeep came from Wyoming in 1999. Since then, I have been driving it on a weekly basis. The jeep has been converted to a 12 Volt system. The highlight of this Jeep is the Warn Overdrive. These go for about $800.00. It allows you to drive safely at up to 60 mph without ruining the engine. There is 18,000 miles on the sleeved, hardened seat, rebuilt engine. The photos show a paper air cleaner system. I still have all the oil bath stuff. The trailer is a 1951 military. There is some rust at the forward part of the floor. If you consider the value of the Jeep, overdrive and trailer, you will see that this is a very good price.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $4000
(12/27/2009) Hard to tell much from the pic.
“these is a great little jeep run and drive has good lic.want to trade it for 4×4 ,mustang,camaro,sport car ect or good fishing boat or sail boat the jeep i am selling is the green one in picture”

UPDATE: Rich reports that this sold today for $1400 on 4/1/2010.
“Selling a stock 1957 Willys Dispatcher Jeep. Flat head L 4cyl. motor with 3 speed transmission. If you are familiar with the DJ3A you know that it would have been a 2 wheel drive, column shift jeep. This one was converted to four wheel drive with a T-90 transmission and transfer case. The Jeep starts instantly, moves and shifts perfectly through all 3 gears plus the 4 wheel drive high and low operates with no problems. The brakes work 100% however the brake lights and turn signals do not. It will need a windshield, tires, rocker panel repair, and floor repair. The L head motor has the original 6 volt system with a generator that charges as it should. There is a cabin heater under that dash with a variable speed electric fan that works perfectly. The seats are in pristine condition and may actually be original. The original Data plate is on the firewall and the frame numbers match. The odometer reads just over 28,000 miles. I have a clear PA title in hand and have driven the jeep down the road at 45 miles per hour. It does need work but is a great foundation for restoration.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950
It looks like 1 1/2 parts jeeps, but this may be a good price if the body isn’t too bad.
“Two Jeeps, one complete 49 CJ3a with clear tittle. Engine is moisture locked, but didnt run when it turned over. Drive train is fine, clutch, trans and tranfer case all functional,solid frame and body. The second unit has no body, but a complete running gear and motor. This motor has been been rebuilt with many new parts and a 12 volt system, but is also moisture locked, this frame is solid and has a complete PTO with shaft.”
Here’s a couple wagons. If they aren’t Mavericks, let me know.
“All original. Good condition. 1960 and 1961 Willys Wagons (Maverick Special Edition). $2,500 each or $4,500 both (firm).”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(03/23/2010) This looks like a great restoration project for someone not looking to do an entire project at once. Note the owner has a notebook with the original documentation about this.
“For sale is a 1951 Willy’s Jeepster. All orig. was Yellow and black, prev. owner painted it to current color. has all 4 curten’s in good shape.

This looks solid for the price.
“1952 willys jeep truck runs great, everthing works crome is in very good shape there is two rust holes about the size of a quarter. the rest of the body is in good shape. all origenal. 4cyld motor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This “Go-anywhere,” “Tough-job traction” truck is on the market here for the first time in over 20 years. Originally purchased from a glass co. in OHIO by the current owner. He has done a complete frame off restoration as you can plainly see in the photos. Introduced in 1957 the Jeep Willys FC-170 was wider and carried a heavier load than the FC-150. It has a Kaiser 6-226 motor inline 6 that is good on gas. You won’t get stuck with high/low option 4WD and LT235/85R16 tires.
The bed is made of appatong wood said to be 5 times harder than oak for those heavy loads. The truck has a 7,000 lb. GVW, a 103″ wheelbase with a 108″ bed. The Cab-over design is very unique. There were approximately 2,000 FC-170’s built in ’61. You will be guaranteed to be the hit of the car shows…”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1300
(03/30/2010) Based on these pics I’d say the body on this is less than ok.
“1952 jeep willys cj3a. Seems to have all the original parts. Ran when i parked it three years ago. Body is ok considering the age. must sell so make an offer. i don’t check my email so call 859 583 1369”
http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/1668192135.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
It needs a little work.
“1951 CJ3A Willys Jeep. The Good: Complete, mostly original, flat-four. Also includes full 6-point cage, new tires, new shocks, new gas tank and lines, and new brake lines. The Issues: It has been sitting for a while and was in the middle of a 12-volt conversion that was never finished (no generator or alternator currently) when I bought it, wiring needs attention, turns over and starts, has a couple rust-out spots under the rear tail lights, quater size hole under the drivers seat in the pan, and rust in the rigger body braces under the body near the frame (where the wood was located). No pink slip.
I bought it as a project and have not had the time to finish it. It had been sitting for a while prior to me buying it… I massaged the cylinders with some Marvel oil, added some fresh gas to the carb and it cranked over and it tried to run. Sputtered, puttered, but ran. Since then, I have replaced all the gas lines, cleaned the new tank (it had old gas in it), added two inline filters, new plugs, new wires, and there it sat. Thus, I know it’s not frozen and only needs minor tweaking to run.”
This looks pretty stock.

**SOLD**
“For Sale:1958 Willys Jeep pickup 4×4, 226 ci super hurricane flathead 6 cyl engine,manual trans. Body is pretty good shape other than the rust in the floorboards(not a bad repair),little rust elsewhere in the truck. Rear window is cracked,otherwise glass is good.The engine should run with a good 6 volt battery, almost had it fired when the battery in it gave out comepletely. Good resto project or good to customize. Asking 1000.00 O.B.O”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THE VIN … THIS WAS A FUN ONE: The seller noted on ebay that this is a ’57, but it has the older, pre’57 dash. That raised a flag. So, I looked closely at the VIN: The first set of numbers are 55268 instead of 453 GB2. That VIN actually belongs to a 1956 Pickup Truck 6 cyl (226 ci) with 4wd with a serial number of 33836. See this service bulletin for the details.
“Very original Willys CJ3B. No body lift, original 4cyl engine, manual lockers on front, 3 speed trans. Color is Red, original upolstry in great shape and this has rear bench seat. Tool box under passenger seat. 4 good tires – spare is for decoration. Has AM/FM cassette and Jensen speakers under dash on firewall. Top is serviceable. No Bondo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
The seller believes this might start up if the starter is tightened?
“1948 WILLYS JEEP W/O TITLE. THIS JEEP WAS BEING USED FOR HUNTING AND TRAIL RIDING BEFORE TEENAGE BOYS RAN OVER A VIEW TO MANY TREES. HAS BEEN PARKED FOR OVER A YEAR BUT WAS BEING USED BEFORE I BELIEVE THE STARTER WIRE WAS NOCKED LOOSE.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(02/16/2010) This looks like a very good price to me.
