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 $3500.
(07/28/2014) “I have a 1958 High Hood 4 Willys Jeep that has (PTO) Power take off. It has a 4 cyl engine that needs an overhaul. Body is in great shape. It is orange with a black bikini top.
The engine does dot run, just needs an overhaul. I have the bill of sale but no title. you can go to the DMV with the Vin number and get a new title. Would make a great farm truck or could just be used for parts to fix up another 1958 Willys Jeep. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
(03/23/2015) Seller lists this as a M-38, but it appears to have a MB/GPW body and fenders.

“Willys cj-2a for sale
Asking 3000 cash obo no trades
1947 Willy’s cj-2a.
street legal
Motor and transmission rebuilt around 3000 miles ago. Has BEST top soft top, bikini top, CB radio, rugged ridge 10,500 lb. winch, and tow bar, full roll cage, electric wipers, spare tire, custom gas tank, drivers and passengers heaters, axillary cooling fan, high jack, jerry can and RIGHT LOCK lockers in rear differential
Foot start with key. I have the original motor for a spare, it runs but smokes pretty badly. The speedometer and temp gauge work, oil and amp gauge not functioning.
I mainly used this as my off road vehicle so it’s pretty beat up, but it will take you anywhere you could possibly want to go, the high jack has a bend in it near the top.
While I do have a tow bar It gets the jeep death wobble if you tow it with it, tow dolly or trailer would be best , I had a custom gas tank made so I would have to worry about puncturing it, I’ve never gotten around to putting a fuel sensor in it. It has the L-134 (go devil) motor and the T-90 transmission both in excellent working order.
I hate to sell but i don’t have the time to take her out and play anymore and I need the room in my garage for other projects”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(03/22/2016) That’s some cage!
“1946 Wyllis with roll cage. Needs master cylinder work and rebuild carb. 31 inch rims included. Has custom bumpers and tows from front.”
David Magana bought this CJ-5 out of Arnold, California. He was wondering if anyone recognized it or had any previous history about it?
“Though I am reluctant to sale it, I unfortunately have to get rid of my super clean 1966 Jeep CJ-5A Tuxedo Park model with only 49,000 original miles. This is a rare, classic, mostly stock jeep with the exceptions of a few practical add ons such as the winch, tow bar (comes with tow lights), newer BF Goodrich 31″x10.50×15 all terrain tires, full cage roll bar, and back spare tire carrier with 2 nice jerry cans. Even has the old vintage heater, Tuxedo Mark 4 chrome emblems, etc. This was the first year of the Buick v-6 dauntless 225 motor. The jeep also has a newly rebuilt 3-speed transmission and new clutch which cost me $2000 dollars (I have the receipt from the transmission shop with a 1 year warranty) and new exhaust system. The body and paint are very nice, with no dents and no rust. The interior floor has been rhino lined black, the black interior seats are perfect with no rips. I have a really nice black back seat for it, but it is not mounted in the rig. The soft top and doors are almost new. Runs great, shifts great, and brakes are good. This vehicle is a really affordable way to drive something which is very fun,(feels like you are driving and old tractor), cool and classic. Come check it out and you will love it. The jeep is ready for your next adventure, whether it be to the store, beach, or mountain pass. My loss your gain.—I will add more photos tomorrow.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

UPDATE: Ted got a hold of this a few years ago. No one seems to know who modified or for what purpose. Now he wants to let it go. If interested, email him at willysted@charter.net.
He wrote, “I was lucky enough to a be in the right place at the right time and have some interesting items to trade towards purchasing this really unique Willys body. Not really sure on origin or history on this oddball as it came from a buddy of mine who also didnt have much history on it, but I knew it was really cool and thought it would be the ultimate foundation for a great Yard -plow Jeep.
I thought it would be a great Jeep to have all your tools, torches, jacks, etc etc in to minimize walks back to the garage to get something while working on stuff out in the woods or yard. I was going to start with a good rolling and running 2a frame and make it mechanically sound and mount a Plow or Snow Scoop on front with a rear mounted PTO winch hoisting Boom on back of Jeep for a great little Utility Jeep.
Unfortunately my unfinished projects and Jeeps that need attention have got me forced to part with some of my future projects that Im never gonna have time for. This Body is very unique and definitely deserves to be restored and put to use somewhere. I think with a good rolling and running 2a or 3a frame and some work it would be a great Winter project for someone looking for a cool Willys build. My loss is going to be someones gain.
Make me an offer !!! Email any questions and I will try to help”
UPDATE: Paul shared some additional pics.
Paul bought this FJ-3 back in 2014. He’s restored it beautiful. He wrote: “Her new home is in Orange County, California. This FJ3 is now a daily driver and is used both in my business, and as a fun vehicle to take to shows and cruises. It is looking a little different now. It is still running the original engine and transmission. The rear end is now a freshly rebuilt Dana 44 with taller gears so it can do a decent highway. On the exterior, all the rusty metal has been replaced and the rear side windows have been removed. The rear door is still a wood roll-up, but it is now clad with aluminum sheet to make it maintenance free.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000
