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 .
Here’s a rare M-170 that needs some restoration.
“Please call 502-807-9947 for questions. I will email pictures if interested. Thanks for looking!”

UPDATE: The seller deleted the craigslist ad, so this may have sold.
I wonder if the engine that needs rebuilding is good enough for another 10k miles or so.
“1961 Willys Pickup Truck – Body in great condition – Engine needs rebuilding – Includes 2 addition engines (all straight 6s including original engine) – 84,801 miles – $3,950.00 or best offer – Email for link to larger photos.”

I want one! Thanks to Steve for spotting this one.

I AM WILLING TO CONSIDER A TRADE BUT IT MUST BE A MINT PICKUP OR CJ FULLY RESTORED. I HAVE OWNED 3 WILLYS SINCE 1982 AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A TRUCK THIS CLEAN.SEAT NEEDS BE REUPOLSTERED BUT THAT IS ABOUT IT.THIS TRUCK STARTS RIGHT UP AND RUNS GREAT.

THIS TRUCK IS A TRUE GEM AND I WOULD HATE TO LET IT GO BUT I HAVE NO TIME TO FINISH IT THE WAY I WANT IT. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR BID.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Here’s a running Wagon in what appears decent shape.
“1949 willys jeep, runs well, straight body, needs paint but minimal body work, 283 engine, rebuilt carburetor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1875.
Are you kidding me? A running GPW that looks pretty good for under $2000?
“
1945 GPW HALF HARD TOP RUNS GOOD”
UPDATE: Was $5000. **SOLD**
Stahl boxes?
“1962 Jeep Willy, 4 wheel drive, 50k, green pickup, in good condition, with generator and snow plow, and custom designed jockey boxes on the sides. Lives in a heated garage. A good working vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The body on this looks good for a North Eastern Truck.
“Has been in the barn for years and years. This Jeep is a great restoration project. I hate to part with it. For more info or to come take a look”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
I’m thinking this might be a M-38? I think I see tool indents on the passenger side. Those tires are pretty worn.
“Selling a original 1946 Jeep Willy that runs and drives for $5,000.00. Only modifications is it has been converted to 12 volt. Almost all parts are new only thing that needs work is the rocker panels and floor boards are rusted.”
UPDATE: Last priced at $9500.
The Jeep looks nice enough, but let me remind potential buyers that 1. VE day was in May of 1945 and VJ day was in August of 1945; 2. 1948 comes after 1945 (umm .. this is self-evident, yes?); and 3., by the transitive mathematical property, this jeep, contrary to the seller’s claim, could not have played a role in WWII because it ended in 1945 and the jeep was produced in 1948.
“1948 Willys Jeep for sale!!! This car is in excellent condition and is a wonderful item for anyone who loves antique vehicles or wartime collectibles. This was used in WW2, but the engine has been replaced entirely, so its not just a lawn ornament. You can cruise town in this Willys. It is equipped with the canvas cover. Please contact me if you are interested. I’d love to show you the car or send you more pictures. Also, email me for more information on the vehicle; I’d be happy to answer your questions.”
UPDATE: Kevin from the UK wrote me today to say that he spotted the same CJ-2A Kevin saw while on vacation on Maui in 2002. Too funny! He also took a picture and provided it for our viewing pleasure. Thanks Kevin!
Steve was visiting Hawaii a few years ago and spotted this VEC CJ-2A on the island of Maui in Hawaii. There can’t be too many of these on the island!
Brett found another interesting deal in Utah. The seller labels this a 1952, but it looks like a VEC CJ-2A to me. It looks like it was also a column shift at some point.
“Sold As Is. 1952 CJ2A Jeep. Has 2 motors needs install. Asking 1000.00 or best offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Doesn’t look too bad for $1000.
“Picked this up last year expecting this to be a “father and son” project…it turned out that neither of us had the time we thought we had. Son now wants a motorcycle or something “sportier” and I just want my driveway back. This Jeep needs to be completely restored and is not currently running. You could weld some sheet metal in the floor boards, reconnect everything, and bondo and paint it and it would pass for a while, but it is 50+ years old and would serve you better to really do some work on it. Aftermarket parts for this aren’t very painful…complete bolt on steel body kit runs about $3K from JC Whitney, a little less for fiberglass…if you want to bypass the patch, weld, and refinish route. Engine is easy to go through and lots of parts on the web. I have some makeshift seats (actual frame with a poly seat covering) and some miscellaneous parts to go along. Let me know your thoughts…I’m open to negotiation. Might consider a trade (for me, not my son)…possibly a running 60-70’s VW or a sportbike?? Check the link below for more pictures. ”
It’s got some rust on the grille, but the rest doesn’t look all the bad.
“57 Willys Jeep. Very rare, all original. Serious buyers only,please…”
http://yubasutter.craigslist.org/cto/1600439015.html
The price just dropped to $1500.
“$1500 OR MAKE OFFER. i have the title email zrcats2002@yahoo.com willys”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
(12/13/09) Check out this plow. This looks like a good deal.
“I am selling a 48 willys jeep for my aunt the plow lights and 4×4 all function great perfect for private use asking $2,000”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
The engine is in the back, but this thing looks in good shape. It looks like a deal.
“CJ2 jeep 1946, this is a builder the engine is in the back, see photo. I think the engine has been rebuilt. I took off the valve or tappet cover and it is clean inside. The outside of the block is also clean.”
UPDATE: Mike notes the general consensus on this VEC is that maybe only the frame and running gear is from the ’45.
With a serial number of 10,077, this is an early CJ-2A. Unfortunately, it appears someone spray painted this wildly. Interestingly, it is missing the tool indents.
“This Jeep is the 77th Civilian Jeep manufactured by Willy’s and includes a ” 3 Point Hitch ” for the Farmers of America. The engine is a “Flat Head 4 cylinder that runs good ….no smoke”. The shift for this jeep is a 3 speed on the column. The tires are new and are mounted on original solid Jeep rims. The brakes have been worked on. There has been some body work and the Jeep was painted recently. Mechanically the Jeep is in good condition but will require some tinkering (TLC)….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
This looks solid. I’m not sure what’s up with the headlights (covers perhaps?)
“1948 WILLIS JEEP RUNS GOOD, ALL ORIGINAL, AND NO SMOKE $3000 OR BEST OFFER”
It looks a little rough, but solid.
“This is one badass Jeep. Engine: completely rebuilt 4 cylinder, very simple and easy to maintain but still strong enough for a 4×4 off-road vehicle. Runs great! Four wheel drive with modern tires and rims (spare included)
Three-speed, floor starter. Paint is original US Issue Olive Drab Green with a white star on the hood. Its even got a row of machine gun bullet holes below the windshield. Straight out of M*A*S*H. Aftermarket roll-bar and bikini top. Overall its a great antique car with some military nostalgia.”
http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/1608996339.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It appears mostly stock and runs.
“Stock 1948 Willys CJ3A – Runs $2500 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Save these from the pain of a crusher.
“Any intertest in five cabovers”
One of our readers must sell his CJ-6, another victim of the economy. While it doesn’t run yet, it looks much better than when he bought it. Good luck Andy (and I’m happy to see there’s some good bidding on this already)!
“Koenig Hardtop and hard doors.Koenig PTO winch. Bendix brake booster.Front tow-hitch. Heater. Lights work on high and low beam,horns work. Complete original Fhead Willys 134 engine. Solid drivers side floor board,hood,windsheild frame,drivers side fender, rear floorpan etc.. Has rust through on the passenger side which could be fixed with new floopan and rockerpanel but that is the worst of the rust. Also has some small very spot-weldable rust holes down both sides of the hardtop about an inch above the tub. Test lite gives good voltage at battery and coil. One of only 1991 made in ’61. Original sale date was 08-02-1962. Unique look so its not like every other CJ that you see …. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This has a pop in the rear, but otherwise appears solid. It might make a good restoration candidate.
“1962 Willys Pickup. Original 6 cylinder engine. 35,000 original miles. Floorboards are solid, all gauges and lights work. Body is in great shape but does need some paint, primer is showing through in spots. Glass is good all the way around with two cracks on the lower right-hand corner of the driver door and two small cracks up high near the center of the windshield. Seat needs re-upholstered. Has been a great truck for me but has developed a popping noise in the rear differential. I parked it so as to not damage it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks solid, but the pic is a way from the jeep.
“1958 4X4 WILLYS THIS TRUCK IS IN GOOD SHAPE. IT HAS A CHEVY V8. I HATE TO SELL IT BUT I REALLY NEED A TWO HORSE SLANT BUMPER PULL, OR SMALL STOCK TYPE TRAILER. I WANT $2,500 OBO OR WILL TRADE FOR THE ABOVE TRAILER OF EQUAL VALUE. I’AM OPEN ON THE PRICE AND WILL CONSIDER ALL OFFERS. ”
UPDATE: Still Available
Is this winch a Warn winch that is installed backwards? I havent’ seen the housing on the right before.
“Price Reduced $3600 O.B.O 1958 Willys pickup, Runs and drives good, excellent condition for the year. If you are interested in it, just give me a call anytime. (906)201-2088. Thank You!
