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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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: This nice CJ-2A is still for sale. There’s lots of updates to this jeep, including, I think, reversed front shackles.
“1948 Willy’s “Tweetster” Jeep. This Jeep has had a lot of work done to it including a Buick V6, Edlebrock carburetor, Griffin aluminum radiator, Saturn overdrive, custom roll cage, and custom paint. Asking $5,000 or best offer. Additional pictures available upon request. 435-668-0595 or 435-668-2440″
The image is small, so it’s hard to tell much. There seems to be a slightly funky angle to that passenger fender near the step.
“Classic Willys Jeep Rare. 6 Cyl. 4 speed. full canvas top, 6 pt. roll cage. wipers, turn signals, tow bar, locking hubs, steering stabilizer, bucket seats, 31″ knobby tires on white spoke wheels with spare, Edelbrock manifold, elec. ignition, high output alternator, Headers, Dual Mufflers-exhaust pipes to tail, high volume/low pressure oil pump/external oil cooler, all gages. Garaged. No rust, Great shape. $5200.00 OBO”
This looks like a nice cage. The body looks in pretty good shape as well. Includes a front clip as well.
“1970’s jeep tub and front clip with newer frame. full cage and windsheild. Sorry no title. Was race jeep at one time. Great project has not been cut up. Please phone calls only!!!!!!!!!!! No email axcess. (509) 990-2730 front clip is sanded and ready to paint.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
It appears to have a number of modifications, including a suspension change and a tilte steering wheel. It may not much more than a parts jeep at this point.
“with high proformance 289 completely rebuilt and running. Project car. Running but not ready for road. needs work.lots of parts. consider part trade for running and complet.
Update: **SOLD** Was $2800.
This looks to be a good price. The tires look good and the body looks straight from the picture angle. Given the seller didn’t include the keyword “willys” this may be a difficult one for most people to find, which might mean the price will drop some more from lack of calls.
“1952 jeep $2800 all stock or trade for??????”
UPDATE: This sold for $810 on Jan 1 2009
Maybe there are more of these VW kits than I realized. This is the fourth I’ve seen for sale this year. While the seller claims this is a 1942 body, all the kits, including this one, appear to me to use a version of the M-38 body (or replica body).
“YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1942 WILLYS JEEP BODY ON A VOLKSWAGEN DRIVE TRAIN / CHASSIS. THIS CAR HAS A 1600 ENGINE WITH A VW MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE EXTERIOR COLOR IS RED AND RED INTERIOR WITH BROWN BUCKET SEATS. THE TIRES ARE IN FAIR CONDITION AND BRAKES ARE GOOD ALSO. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN STORAGE AND HAS NOT BEEN STARED FOR 7 YEARS BUT THE MOTOR TURNS OVER….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

“This is a very nice CJ-2A California jeep that is redone as a WWII Medic’s vehicle. This was my Dad’s Jeep which he purchased in California (where he lived) in the 60’s. I brought it to Pennsylvania last year and put a new exhaust, brake system and water pump on it along with a tune up and head gasket. New canvass summer top and front seat cushions. Has always been garaged here in PA. Runs, drives and stops like new. Has new radial tires and Overdrive which really makes driving it a joy.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
It looks like this jeep has had some interesting upgrades. I’ve seen a few other jeeps with the Ford 9 inch rear, but am not clear what the advantages of that are.
“Willys CJ2A Low Hood Flat Fender Jeep. Engine is a fuel injected 4.3 liter Chevy V6. Manual transmission, newly rebuilt transfer case, Ford 9 inch rear, winch. Asking $8500 or best offer. In Yakima, WA.”
A reader wrote to me asking for some input regarding some replacement electric windshield wipers. I couldn’t answer his question and, in fact, I’ll have the same problem once I install my electric wipers. Here’s what he wrote:
” I just bought the electric wiper conversion kit from Omix-ada, but the instructions are limited to the wiring diagram. As you can see from the picture, the shaft length would seem to cause a problem in a direct exchange. I have thought of cutting down the shafts(inner and outer) but wonder if I’m missing something easier. I have Googled the web to see if any one has discussed the conversion, so far no luck. I wonder if you or any of your readers has used these. Any help or comments would be appreciated. Thanks Phil”
So, if anyone has any ideas, we’d both appreciate it!
