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 $5000
Looks solid and complete.
“1942 Willy’s . Great jeep. Runs great. Can climb anything!! $5000 O.B.O. Paul”
UPDATE: Price lowered to $11,950
(10/03/09) This is a nice looking Wagon. I thought the use of the background blurs was unusual.
“Call 415-706-4855 or 415-453-0270. 1957 Willys Jeep Wagon. Arguably the first SUV ever made. It has a rebuilt inline 6-226 cubic inch Super Hurricane engine with a 4WD (4-Wheel-Drive) 3-speed transmission. It has gear levers for both front and rear transaxles. The car has 56,337 miles showing on the odometer. It equipped with a removable second row of seats and a manually operated spotlight. It is a beautiful car, owned locally in Marin since 1957.

UPDATE; **SOLD** Was $4000
(04/13/2010) I thought this had an unusual paint job. I’m not sure if that’s just a design or an image of some kind.
“Less than 400 miles after extensive professional mechanical overhaul. New: transmission, military tires (5), carburetor, alternator, exhaust, battery, gages. High/Low range and rare front bench seat. Does not have top or doors.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(05/19/2010) This looks good and has a PTO, but needs some work.
“PRICE REDUCED $2500 1953 Willy’s CJ3B “High Hood” Consider trade for a enclosed trailer w/ clean appearance, tandem axle w/ side door, 7×14 Fun Jeep to drive and regret that I have to sell it. First year of the 3B! This Jeep is a small project that needs a engine and seats. The 283 is removed(it could be included but in need of repair or replacement to a similar chevrolet engine) It also needs the old seat frames recovered or replaced (through the Kaiser catalog) and a section of exhaust pipe between the rams head exhaust to muffler exchanged(from a muffler shop) The hood, grill and tailgate are repainted. I replaced the shocks and included is a new powdercoated gas tank(It is not installed) It has some original parts such as the stock vacum operated windsheild wiper motor, offset axles, transmission, transfer case and a extremely rare power take off for farming implements on the rear of the Jeep. Also the front tow bar is refabed for a 2″ ball. Handles flat tow very nicely. The soft top is in good shape with the rear section needing to be replaced(likely from a boat shop) Additional parts included are the front and rear entire axle assembly including tie rods, transmission, transfer case, and partially completed half doors. Jeep sits on 28″ wild country radials w/ aluminum rims. With a little bit of work, this could be a whole lotta fun. Great chance for someone to own a rare PTO Willys CJ3B that is a unique conversation peice. Oregon title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(07/20/09) This appears pretty stock.
“Less than 45k on vehicle. Complete new engine, clutch, starter, generator, voltage reg., hoses, V-belt, brakes, recent battery, carburetor, re-cored radiator. Repair manual, heater, wiring harness, tow bar, new wheels & tires, new shocks, speedometer & cable, Dualmatic hubs, military bumpers, gas can & bracket, spare tire bracket. Serious inquiries only.”
UPDATE: These are also known as ‘Jiffy Jeeps’.
This reminds of the images from the Olyslager Organization’s book The Jeep which show the speedily assembly of a jeep from a crate.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This might be a good price.
“Needs some work”
UPDATE: Was $500. **SOLD**
Looks like there may be some useful parts at the very least.
“have one 1947 willys jeep for sale, 250ci ford inline 6 cyl engine, not running, all original transmission, transfercase, front and rear ends, floors are rusty, body has a few rust spots, good glass, extra transmission and transfercase parts included, have clear title in hand. $500.00 i don’t ship COD to the south pole, or anywhere else, cash in person only.”
This looks like a good package.
“1946 Willys CJ2A in original almost rustfree condition, there is slight surface rust on the under body and one spot of rust on a hat channel at one of the mounting bolts. The inner windshield has rust around the glass area and probably could be replaced. The body itself has normal farm use dents and dings but nothing serious and would be a easy restoration, the area around the side holes are probably the worst they had a rubber cover bolted to both of them see picture, I have had it about 20 years and enjoyed it as is. Mechanically it runs great and everything works, including the originak key coil switch, has normal leaks at some of the seals. The brake lines wheel cylinders and master cylinder have all been replaced. The seats have powder coated frames and replacement cushions covered with vynil, the rear seat is a reproduction. Original seat pans springs and coverings go with the Willys. Wheels are powder coated with white vynil strpes and almost new non directional tires. I believe the Willys a has about 29,000 miles as it has on the speedometer. The wireharness could stand replacing, horn button doesn’t work but the horn does, windshied glass is a litttle scratched. The Willys comes with a complete Monroe three point hitch with a motor mounted hydraulic pump not installed.PTO with rear gear box and farm belt pulley and governor,V belt pulley for generator or welder, belt driven buss saw I believe it’s a Newgren. Front bumper weight, complete operational Linkbelt capstan winch with most original parts, rope roller assy is a reproduction and winch drive bracket is fabricated from steel and works well….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5750
“Complete restoration. New tires, soft top with doors, seats, floorboards, gas tank, glass, guages. The paint is just as shiny on the bottom of the jeep as the top. Everything in engine compartment replaced with new or rebuilt. Very neat and original looking under the hood. Built for parades and car shows. Runs like new. Must see in person.“
