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: **SOLD** Was $2800.
It’s not clear how long it was in a barn. It appears to run.
“Barn Find 1947 Willys. Runs Good, everything works, great shape for 62 year old rig. Civilian model, original motor and tranny. Military Soft top and doors. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD — Purchased by an eWillys Reader** The reader got a great price (under $2k). It had very little rust. Receipts totaled $8k worth of work and included parts in boxes never installed.
(01/15/09) The above price is meant as a starting point. The seller will negotiate. It needs to leave the garage. It’s got some updates and new tires & wheels.
“If interested – make me an offer. My Jeep needs to go… Great Jeep, but Needs work – You want this Jeep, but you need to have the means, place, ability to work on it. (or pay someone to). 1948 CJ2A – runs, has great heavy duty tires/new wheels (tires/wheels > $1000). 1976? Ford 2.3L 4-cyl engine runs good (new camshaft). very, very little deep rust. new radiator & electric cooling fan. Stock transmission, transfer case. 11” drum brakes all around. GM steering column and steering gear …. I spent $$$$ having this Jeep “gone through”, however the synchronizers were not replaced so you have to double clutch or you will grind gears shifting down. The transfer case still leaks some, so that may need attention also, but everything is “supposed” to be sound …. Price is negotiable. I put what I would like to get as a starting price, you can feel free to make me an offer . The jeep has loads of sentimental value, but I need it gone… 
….. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500
I can’t tell much from this photo.
“1948 Willys flatfender Jeep. Bowtie Willys V8, Winch, BFGoodrich 31″ mud terrain w/ matching spare tire, 2″ receiver towbar, Hate to sell it, just had a baby…. you know the story… $5,500 OBO”
Randy emailed me this morning with some great family pics. Here’s a little bit about Randy and a variety of pics. He says we can expect a few irregular reports from the Austin area as he often spots flatfenders around there.
I learned how to drive in a ’48 CJ2A when I was 12 years old and thus started my “addiction” to Willys. I’m now 54 and still love ’em. I moved to the Austin TX area a few years back and have a small ranch; So, of course, I knew what I needed in terms of utility vehicles. I have a ’48 CJ2A that is all original and records for it since 1967. The hardtop and extended bed are from a company in Houston, both are Koenig. I’ve not seen another Willys with the extended bed [ED NOTE: Here’s some info about extended beds from the CJ-3B Page]. I use the ’48 to go to the feed store and drive around town.
My other jeep is a ’54 CJ3B which is non licensed. It’s a bit rough, but starts and drives great.
I have attached a picture of the Eifel Tower I took a couple years ago in the Crown Room in Paris. It’s a picture of a picture.
As I was deciding what pics to send I discovered I have MANY pics of different family members, friends, animals and more with a Willys in them. It seems I just realized my Jeeps are indeed a part of the family. The jeeps earn their keep and are always a hit. I’ve taught a number of young folks how to drive a standard in these, and hope in some way I have started a passion for Willys as it did for me some 42 years ago!
Here’s Randy’s pic of a pic from Paris:

Jim, take it away … (thanks for sharing!)
Got a call today. Guy says,”I hear you like willys jeeps?” Yep, that sounds like me I thought. He said,”I have one here with flat fenders, all original, hasn’t been started in a while, will probably need a battery, some tires, gas.” Sounds like my kinda deal I thought, then I asked the fatal question,”when was it last run running?” “Oh, maybe 30-35 years ago when I was a kid,” he said.
Wow, it had been sitting in the same spot in a field on a fence line for so long that the diffs were touching the ground and part of all 4 rims and tires were 6-8 inches under ground. The 8000 lb warn winch on my trailer wound up pretty damn tight for a few seconds and then the whole jeep “popped” up and out of the ground as if it had sat on a tack!
2 trash bags of old carpet, wood, leaves, clumps of moss (yes, moss) rotted tools, a rusty hunting knife, 3 hornets nest and one poor little very unhappy wet field mouse later [ed note: see last pic] I found some very decent floor boards, perfect hat channels underneath, factory paint still on the frame, a surprisingly straight body, all stock everything and a super trashed windshield frame, but I have a spare here at the cabin.
The owner said they parked it originally cause it needed a fuel pump; so, what do you want to bet I will be driving this old rig in a few weeks? A lot of fun for an afternoon of flat fender hunting! Cocktail time to celebrate!
PS. my sincere apologies to the owners of the carwash I spent $10 at to remove the worst of the goo; sorry bout the mess …… serial number CJ2A 211636
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This truck is in PRISTINE CONDITION? Maybe I’m confused about what “pristine” means? Nope, I’m not wrong. Stock & Raw might be a better description. The price looks good.

This comes with a snow plow, but I was curious if this is a tow truck as well?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“You are looking at an absolute classic 1950 Willy’s Jeepster that has been beautifully restored. The Willy’s has been completely gone through from top to bottom. Please take a look at the album that I have created on Flickr.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3600.
Lots of pics of this wagon.
“This is the Willys Jeep that we have for sale. It is a 1951 2WD wagon & it still has it’s original L-Head (Flat head) engine. It has a new hwad gasket & ARP head studs. It also has a slightly more modern carburator. The transmission is the original 3-speed & it is equipped with the optional factory overdrive. The tires are new. The paint looks nice from a reasonable distance (I painted it & I am not a professional by any means) The seats have been redone & so has the headliner. If you are looking for a runnig classic to really turn some heads (& tinker with a bit) – this is it! now keep in mind it’s 57 years old & requires a bit of attention. :)”
