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 on eBay
Check out the 100 mile-per-hour speedometer. Is that aftermarket or from a different vehicle?
“WOW! Can you say classic that can take you anywhere you want to go! With 2 Superlow 4×4 gears and a 6000 pound WARN Winch, hit the trails and make heads turn! 3 Speed manual transmission with WARN Overdrive. This is no common off roading vehicle, this 1949 Willys can go in a car show Saturday, and on the trails Sunday!”
UPDATE: **SOD** Was $800.
This looks like a good price. It might even run.
“I have a 49 jeep pickup thats been sitting in my yard for 8 years and i just need it gone.
Truck has not been started or moved in a year but should still run.
still has original bed that isnt rusted through . was an eastern washington truck its whole life untill it sat here for 8 years.
has willys flat 4 engine and manual 3 speed trans. 4×4 works”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5400
“Here is the story this Willys lived it first 62 years in Eastern Oregon. I bought it about one year ago for a hunting and pleasure rig. It was repainted about four years ago and had a pretty complete restoration at that time. Still has original Flathead 4cylinder, selectro hubs, 12volt system. rest of drivetrain is stock with 16″ wheels.
Since I have had rig I installed the Superlift 1″ soft ride springs, the later style shackles, superlift shocks, I had R&P 4X4 install updated CJ5 steering system and front 11″ Drum brakes.. This vehicle runs and drives awesome for being 63 years old.
Is this a perfect show quailty rig no. With that being said you would have to look long and hard to find a willys of this vintage in this kind of shape.
The only negative thing I can say is the original CJ2A Window was modified for single plate of glass, it works just not as nice as a cj3a window frame, also the wiper motor needs wired.
I have had several jeep and willys experts look at this rig and it does appear to be rust free. I’m selling only because I feel guilty about using a rig this nice for hunting and would hate to cause any damage to it ”
This runs and drives.
“Well, I’ve changed direction again and need to sell the 2a. I thought about using it for parts, selling what I could and scrapping the rest. But, after I got her started, and looking her over, I realized that this ’46 was pretty original and unmolested. She’s too good to part out, and would make a good restoration project if one wanted to start cheap. Has clean title, matching frame and vin numbers. Hood straight, fenders good, grill good, surface rust on frame, but sound. In the pictures, you’ll see some 24 volt parts that come with it. Youtube video of motor running and jeep moving are at
http://www.youtube.com/user/nedmcclung I think. I just want what I’ve got in her, so it’s yours for $1000 cash. Located in Atlantic Beach, NC. My phone is 252-three, four, nine-twothreefoureight for questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000. The seller is not parting out.
(03/05/2011) “I have a 1944 Ford GPW that is titled as a 1944 ford willys jeep that i have had for some time now and it is a FRANKENSTEIN! It has a 2.5 Chevy 4 cylinder in it, it has 4 wheel drive but the front drive shaft is removed, full roll cage, and brand new yokohama tires. The Jeep comes with alot of extras, including… brand new in the box tiger-top worth 700 bucks, a painless wiring harness, an extra windshield (does have a broken arm), full set of diamond plate (rocker panels and rear quarters). May i remind you, this is a project jeep but has major potential. the guy we bought it from was turning it into a STRICTLY 4×4 vehicle, i want to restore. if you have any questions email me back.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(07/09/2012) Needs plenty of work to be restored.
“THIS JEEP WAS SENT FROM THE WILLYS FACTORY TO HOWSE FIRE AND APPARATUS IN INDIANA AND OUTFITTED AS A FIRE TRUCK IN 1947 FOR THE CITY OF ST. MARTINVILLE, LA. I AM THE 2nd OWNER. THE FIRE EQUIPMENT WAS REMOVED BY THE FIRE DISTRICT 1 MONTH PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. I HAVE ALL OF THE FIRE EQUIPMENT EXCEPT FOR THE 2 TOOL BOXES AND A COUPLE OF THE ALUMINUM TUBING FOR THE LADDER RACK THAT I KNOW OF. THE BODY IS RUST FREE EXCEPT FOR SURFACE RUST. THE ORIGINAL JACK IS STILL IN THE TOOL BOX. THE JEEP IS FULLY OPERATIONAL BUT WILL NEED A NEW BATTERY. BUYER WILL HAVE OPTION TO PURCHASE A LARGE INVENTORY OF NEW OLD STOCK PARTS FOR $1000.00.”
UPDATE: I’m reposting this February 2010 post in honor of the SEEP that appears in my next book. Ann and I spent Wednesday on a journey to review some of the places I will mention in the book. I’ll report on our research tomorrow.
Apparently, Paul cornered Ralphie in his garage today and refused to leave until he got some pics for us. Ralphie’s GPA is well on its way to being a great looking rebuild. Thanks to Paul and Ralphie!
Paul writes, “Crazy Ralphie’s garage suffers from the usual garage problems, no matter how big your garage is it still isn’t big enough to hold all the tools and projects you want to stuff inside so the work area becomes a bit cramped. I’ll be able to get better pictures this summer when things can be moved outside but for now these pictures will have to due. The poor little GPA is sandwiched next to the chassis of a 1934 Ford four door sedan which is tight against a 1956 Caddy convertible undergoing restoration and every flat surface becomes a parts storage shelf until the pile becomes a pyramid towering towards the ceiling.
Crazy Ralphie is in the background of a couple of photos working on the body of the 34 Ford but he’s locating missing parts and doing some work on the GPA in the meantime.
The UPS guy just delivered my new Buick 225 V 6 radiator and I didn’t anticipate it’s arrival until the end of the month so it looks like I’ll have something to work on tomorrow what with building a mount and fabricating brace rod/hood prop combinations. I got my taxes done and Uncle owes me money, it just doesn’t seem right to put that money into a savings account when I could buy Jeep parts instead so I was on the phone ordering and the tax return has been killed.”
I thought these top brochures were informative. So, I’ve posted four of them.
This brochure breaks down some of the differences between Koenig Hard Tops.
