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 $3800
This has a unique heater/blower installed.
“For Sale or Trade. $3800.00, will trade for CJ,WRANGLER, YJ, let me know what you have, this CJ3B does have a clear Tx. title and is currently registered, runs good. Looking for a better daily driver.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller provides a detailed description.
“You are bidding on a 1946 Willys CJ2A. I picked this up a while back with plans of using it around the farm. I have since picked up a newer CJ5 that runs and stops so it is time to find this one a new home. Although not shown in the pictures I do have the radiator, fan and gas tank (stored safely indoors). The Willys came to me without a steering column, brake and clutch pedals or the arms that they attach to. I have a steering column (less steering wheel) from another Jeep along with some pedals and arms that I will throw in to the deal. I will also toss in a couple of master cylinders and a few other pieces I have around from other Jeep projects. You will need to come up with seats, a steering wheel and some small miscellaneous pieces.
As for the motor. A previous owner had pulled the motor for some reason and while it was in his garage it fell against the wall damaging the casting of the carb. I have the carb but my guess is that it is only good for parts. You will need to purchase a carb (they are on Ebay every week). The fellow that I purchased it from re-installed the motor with new motor mounts and I think transmission mount as well. The Jeep will also need an air cleaner. The motor turns by hand but I have made no attempt to start it. The transmission shifts through all the gears and the transfercase shifters seem to move as they should. Driveshafts are currently disconnected but do come with the Jeep.
The frame appears sound from what I can see. It is missing the rear crossmember/bumper but they can be purchased new. The front frame horns still have their gussets and the drivers side frame horn still has the metal data plate. The passenger side frame horn is dented a bit and will need some straightening (see picture).
The body is fairly sound for a 1946 Willys however it is not ready for any car show. The two body tags on the firewall are still attached. The front floor panels have been replaced at some time while the back end is original. The hood will need a little work but I think it is very savable as are the fenders. The drivers side might need a new inner support brace since it has some rust on the bottom. Tailgate is there but there and usable but not show quality. The grille is very nice and includes the sought after bullet shaped lights. The windshield frame is there and with enough time and talent it could be restored but there are better ones out there for the effort it would take. It does not come with the inner windshield frame. If you are not doing a 100% restoration I do have a couple of CJ3A frames that the winning bidder can purchase for an additional cost ($125 to $150 each depending on which frame you select).
The wheels are the sought after 16″ wheels. The tires are not worth anything and two have a slow leak. The front axle is equipped with Warn Premium Locking Hubs.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
“Selling a 1949 CJ-2A Willis military edition jeep. I have the title for it, but the jeep needs full restoration. Previous owner installed a diff engine which is an f head. For this reason the hood was cut and a custom hood scoop was built. However, if you desire to go back the full original, I do have the full original motor. The motor in the car, runs great and turns right over, however the clutch is seized. The frame is good, but the body needs some love. Looks like a lot of parts r from m38 military. Has a military top, gas can holder with gas can, and military cushions.”
The seller claims ‘Just the body for this style of Jeep can often sell for what I am asking’. umm . . . how do people come up with stuff like this?
“I have a few items for sale or trade besides just this Jeep you can view them all at http://Rapid-Sale.com
This is a unique Jeep CJ6 that is very rare and hard to find.
The CJ6 has a 20″ longer wheelbase than the standard Jeep.
There is still some work that needs to be done for this to be an everyday driver.
It has a 231 V6 in it with the oversized tires and wheels ready for off road.
The lights and winch have been removed and used on a different project.
The windshield costs $150 to replace and I am in the process of doing that for you.
I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
Just the body for this style of Jeep can often sell for what I am asking.
I welcome Cash and will look at your trade ideas. No Low Ballers.

This looks like an updated former road/trail jeep. Looks like there is a name on the hood, too.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Clutch is frozen, but otherwise looks solid.
“1948 Willys jeep CJ2A that has sat for about 4 years. I put new plugs, battery, master cylinder for the brakes and clutch, new fuel pump, and cleaned carburator and the the tank. The jeep runs and the motor is still strong. The jeep has good tires, rhino lined, new seat covers, seat belts, warn lockouts, tow bar and gun rack. The only think that is still wrong with jeep is the slave cylinder for the clutch is froze up from sitting. I have grown tired of working on it and putting money in it and decided to sell it. The guy I bought it off used it to take to Colorado and assured me that four wheel drive and transmission was all working good when parked. I went thru the gears and the transfer case goes in and out of four wheel easy. The last time it was on the road was 2008.
UPDATE: **SOLD** on eBay
(07/20/2012) Runs and drives.
“Date feb, 25 1943 serial #215159 frame#215159. Runs and drives, Includes:combat wheels,43 jerry gas can,misc. extra parts. There are Some rust area’s, but over all pretty solid for the year.”
Hard to say if there is much value here or not.
“Willys jeep cj2 complete original except it has a front cap off of a willys truck or station wagon. Engine will turn over if you pull it but the starter is bad. Probably doesn’t have much compression. Not for sale for scrap, I don’t want it recycled into a toyota fender. Buy it for parts for the one sitting in your back yard.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
(05/23/2012) “The jeep is in great running condition, and still has the original L-134 inline four cylinder that starts right up and drives, no problems. The jeep shifts three on the tree. Two wheel drive. Shows 97 miles on the odometer. Always stored inside and the condition reflects that. It was partially restored by the previous owner, and received new paint and upholstery. Tires are in great shape. Let me know if you would like to come and see it.”
UPDATE: Now the seller needs to sell ASAP.
(04/11/2012) At first I thought this was a DJ-3A, but the side gas inlet suggests to me this is a CJ-3A.
“Need to sell 1955 Jeep CJ Willys! Does not run just needs battery and tires. Everything else is good. Its worth a pretty penny but i need a new car to start my job next week. Please if you have any interest or questions call 5302282398. Comes with Two brand new bucket seats and shocks. Its a great fixer upper.”
