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 $2500.
Unclear how much value is here.
“1952 jeep willys rat rod jeep. We bought it to finish it and just don’t have the time It has 305 with automatic trans got a 350 to go with it it ran when I parked it. I have the front gril and radiator which I just had worked on”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
The CJ-2A’s body is wood from a Sears & Roebuck kit. Seems we have run across one of those kits before.
“Package deal of tona of parts and three Willy’s Jeeps. One ’47 CJ2A (white) complete but half the body is a plywood kit from Sears Roebuck. No title. Engine has lots of rust but repairable with a hot tank and time. Needs work but good frame and lots of good parts, or make it run again if you want.
One ’47 CJ2A just the body have the windshield, fenders, grille, seats, tailgate, and other metal for it.
And one ’50 CJ3A complete with title runs and drives but has bad tires, no brakes, no steering (the front crossmember is busted off, planned to chassis swap with the white 2A.) Grille is unbolted as is left fender to work on car. Has new starter and new ignition parts. Runs like a top stock fuel pump even works.
Planned to use the running gear from green one, body of the tub and parts, and chassis from the white one to make one nice stock jeep easily then use the remaining parts to build the remaining parts into crawlers or something fun.
Parts include:
Engine block in good shape will need cleaned up, cranks, cams, pistons, rods, oil pans, transfer cases, I think transmission, drive shafts, radiator, tons of body metal such as hoods fenders doors windshields (including glass) tailgates, parts to put a canvas top on, basically three entire jeeps worth of parts including lots of new parts worth ~450 from Kaiser Willy’s with receipt.
May split stuff. Yes the VW stuff is for sale too.
Seller will sell both for $2500 or $1250/each.

“Both Jeeps are not running, but have complete engines and drive trains. Will sell separately. $1250 each, OBO.”
Update: **SOLD** Was $7500. …. Navy, not Air Force like I mistakenly put down. I saw the plane on the back and didn’t look closer.
This appears to be an Navy-themed CJ-3A.
“Frame-off rebuild by a shop instructor, lovingly. F-head, 134 CID, 4 cylinder “Hurricane.” Runs great with a nice warm-up. Seats, Lock-out hubs. No top. More pictures on request. 7500 OBO”
Not sure what model of top that is.

“Been garage kept for last 20 years comes with few extra parts including two Willy’s industrial L134 engines has had top doors and heater. Has clean title”
I assume “loose” means the engine is free?

“Complete. All parts are here. Was turning the flywheel to tighten bolts and it got stuck. Not sure what the problem is but there was no impact, just a slow turn by hand. Should be an easy fix. The previous owner told me that the engine had been rebuilt. I never got far enough to find out. It rolls and stops. The 12 volt battery is good. I bought a new regulator and stater for 12 volts. About $400 for those. Running would b worth over $5,000. I am thinking $3,000 or the best offer close to that. Clear title. Kept indoors.”
This sounds like it needs some work, but unclear the scope needed.

“The Jeep was a project for our father who was dealing with some family health issues. This Jeep was like a model he had in the early years. We had a local shop do what I would describe as a makeover. They cleaned and painted the interior and visible exterior surfaces. They made what repairs were required to make it run and drive. In the process we replaced the canvas top, seats, gas tank, tail gate, starter motor, emergence brake kit among other smaller items.
The family enjoyed seeing him driving the Jeep on our property and it was a great distraction for all of us. If you’re interested in a project like this, the makeover we did would be a great first step towards a restoration project. There is the usual body erosion to deal with. The original engine, running gear and steering gear will require repairs to some degree.”
