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 $5000.
Not perfect, as the dash is missing a couple items, but this truck looks good.
“1954 Willys Pick up $5000.00 obo 4cyl. O/H valve engine 4 wheel drive with high and low gear case. Engine and entire drive train in good working order. Body has no rust as in the
pictures. Mostly original as best I can tell except for 12 volt electrical system. For more info or pictures please contact me.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Robert forwarded this Ad. It looks like a pretty nice truck and plow for the price.
“1949 Jeep – Willies Pick – up W/plow. Very good condition for a 60 year old truck. $1200.00 and this fine old truck is yours.”
UPDATE: Price now $4500
(10/26/09) This still have the 6 volt system. Unusual paint job. Needs top.
“1949 jeepster that has a L head 4 cylinder engine and runs. And I have driven it up to two days ago, but rain came. It has been rattlecanned red so paint looks bad. Has a large long gouge on passenger side and rusted out areas in the rocker panels. Column shifter with an overdrive. Shifts very good. 2 wheel drive. And a very fun car to drive. Large area in back with a large back seat. Interior needs total restoration and top bows sandblasted and painted. Needs canvas top too. Didn’t need it in good weather. These are very rare and obviously hard to find. Might trade for an original CJ3B. or a MB or M38 (not a A1). Jeeps need to be complete and fairly good condition. Still 6 volt. Starts almost everytime on first or second try. I do perfer cash though.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
(11/24/09) This looks pretty stock and runs. Looks like it might be a good price.
“1946 Jeep CJ2A military style jeep. Running and in fair condition. Original 4 cylinder enjine with rebuilt carburator, generator and starter. Very original condition with little rust. Would be a great jeep to turn into that vintage rock climber you have alwasy wanted!”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD** As James notes, the seller neglects to mention the lack of a column shift (and I missed it too).
With a VIN of #10907, this is the 907th CJ-2A made. It’s a rare vehicle.
“Out of the Utah high desert, WWII vet owned and maintained CJ-2A from 1945. First year a civilian Jeep was produced and one of the first 1000 made. All data plates are there and in good condition. True “survivor” with very few changes made to it over the years.
Compression and oil pressure are good, but I think the carburetor will have to be rebuilt (or ideally replaced, it’s not correct for the year). Has plenty of power and runs well at speed, but idles poorly (rich). Brakes work fine, shifts well through all gears. Was register/used right up until April 2009.
Front seat frames are original, rear is not, but would work/look fine while you shopped for an original. Body is in great shape overall (UT is the second driest state in the US, just behind Nevada) but it still has some hat channel rust under the front floor and tool box. No soft top or top bows.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $4900.
Jim is selling his M-38. It looks straight and rust free!
“Its an original M38 that starts good, runs good, brakes good, looks good, drives good. This Army Jeep runs GOOD, Body real solid for 60 years old-body shows no holes, looks to have had some minor body restoration over the years, Floor pans still original-few little holes only! Hat channels 90% still there, Brakes re-done what ever was needed hoses, lines, shoes etc.., original flat head motor re-built years back, Has a TITLE !”
There is already a bid for $7000 for this nice CJ-5. The Monroe Lift looks great!
“1960 Willys Jeep CJ5 President Red Color, Professionally Fully Restored. Rebuilt engine in 2007. Rear PTO, Monroe 3pt hitch and Governor front 200# weight. New non-directional tires. Odometer shows around 60,000 miles, but actual mileage unknown. Please do not bid until you have all your questions answered, and you have seen the jeep in person if desired. More pictures http://www.choosethechief.com/pics/CJ/CJ5.html”
This looks pretty solid.

(12/04/09) This sounds like a detailed rebuild …
“
1943 Willys MB Jeep for sale. The Jeep has its’ original body and components minus the windshield frame assembly. I’ve restored over 30 vintage Military Vehicles since 1993 and this is my 3rd WWII Jeep. This is one of my finest jobs if I can say so. I applied new techniques that I learned recently that added more detail to my work. I got the Jeep operational last week and it drives perfect at 55 MPH! As any other vintage restoration, there is always some minor tweeking and tuning to get things just right. This Jeep was rebuilt by the US Army at the Esslingen Army Depot in 1952 where it received a newer type engine since the older type had long been out of stock. There are a few parts that’re Ford script marked to attest to that point….. (much more of a description in the Ad)”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3200

The seller says this jeep was bought in crates and put together in 1980. That’s certainly an unusual story.
“1951, All stock except, wipers, blinkers, rear backup light,, vinyl seats, vinyl top and roll bar. car was purchased in crates and assembled 1980, mileage 2500 miles, car has not been driven in 2 years.”

The parts jeep looks like it might have battled a car compactor; it’s pretty beat up.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
I’ve got a couple good guesses as to why the battery isn’t charging. Both are a cheap fix. This might be a good price.
“I have decided to sell my jeep willys. Its a 1960 with a 302 v8 engine in it. The engine is good but needs the cooling system worked on in it.For this I would prefer for someone to trailer it home due to overheating. It does have a few oil leaks which is typical for a jeep 50 years old. The body is in great shape with very little rust (like 5%) The interior is complete with newish seats and all gadges work. There is an electrical issue with the battery not staying charged but it should be an easy fix. Ive just lost interest and want a bike. This is a great jeep and would be an awesome project for someone with some time and very little money to invest.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
“1949 Willys CJ3A Jeep with a clear Texas title in hand. The body is in great condition with little rust. The toolbox is solid and not rusted through. This was to be a restoration but I don’t have the time to complete it and I’m wanting it to go to a good home to be completed. It is a runner and can be driven. It has a long list done to it already and parts waiting to be installed … All new parts were purchased through Walcks4wd.com and the motor was rebuilt on March 3rd 2010. It is a driver and is in good shape. The transmission is in good shape. The transfer case has some slop in one of the levers but works fine. It’s at the point of needing disassembly, cleaning, painting and reassembly. This is a great restoration project and requires very little in new parts to complete it. I am asking $5000 negotiable. I have much more than that in it already. This really is a good deal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,900.
It looks good from a distance. Not a 1951.
“I restored this 1951 Willys Military Jeep with M100 trailer to original condition. Many new parts; brakes, wheels, shocks, exhaust, glass, canvas, seats, new rebuilt engine, transmission, differential, paint, electrical, lights, fording equipment, etc. The jeep is registered and has a clear title. I won a trophy for the class at a local car show this past fall. I would like to sell the jeep and trailer as one unit for $19,900.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,000
(01/06/2010) “This is a rare 6 cylinder 1949 Willys Jeepster. The Jeepsters were constructed only from 1948 to 1950 and only made a limited number of the 6 cylinders starting in mid 1949. This particular car has been featured in an article in Open Road Magazine. The engine has recently been rebuilt and the rest of the car is almost fully restored. This car is a head turner. I can’t tell you the number of times someone has come up to me and asked what kind of a car this is and that they think it is one of the best looking cars on the road.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
(12/17/09) It runs and apparently stops, too.
“1955 Willys Overland cj5 RUNS AND DRIVES!!! TAKE IT ON THE BIG HUNT RIGHT AWAY! You could make this one nice project! Or… enjoy it as is! -Runs and drives! -Tow-Bar on front. -Bikini-top, Heavy-Duty Vinyl cover, -Gas Can. -Heater. -Spare tire with rim. -Lots of extra parts.
An all around fun vehicle to tool around in. Take it camping, take it hunting! Tail lights are already set up for easy connection so you can pull this behind you on the big deer hunt! You see a lot of Willys Jeeps sitting around in fields and back lots that don’t even run and people are asking crazy prices for them. Here, we have a running and driving piece of history! ”
