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 .

It sounds like this has the original motor or an F-head.

This looks to be a CJ-2A column shift drivetrain topped with a MB/GPW body. I suspect the drain holes were added later. The front bumper is odd.
“1946 WILLYS CJ2A, VIN NO. CJ2A30868A, this is an early column shift, it has what appears to be a WWII composite body, a jeep guy told me that he thought they used left over WWII jeep body parts on very early CJs. It could be, as it has the CJ factory drain holes in the sides, the glove box opening shows no lid or box ever being installed, the rear tool boxes show no signs of ever having a lid installed. Maybe someone can verify that information.
The previous owner stated the engine was rebuilt, it starts quick, runs smooth and does not smoke and has 25-30 psi oil pressure.
Has been changed over to 12 volt electrics with alternator, windshield wiper, turn signals, stop lights, headlights, electric fuel pump.
Starts, drives and stops, new gas tank, 4 wheel drive works good, transmission works, but nosy in 1st and reverse and sometimes hard to shift (you can’t shift fast), second and third is quiet and shifts smooth, steering is tight and holds good running down the road, did not jump out of second, suspension is pretty quiet and it has like new tires that are balanced. Roll bar is bolted on, so removing would be easy. It has indoor carpet, but appears to have no rust through.
Just registered (has black sticker which means it has no liability ins.) and new correct title will be in this week.
It is ready to go play and not worry about messing up the rattle can paint job (so it would be one color, not several). The seats are after market, but easier to get in/out and have more belly room.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $8000.
(03/01/2013) This doesn’t run at the moment, but it could be a minor issue.
“I am looking to sell our 1943 WWII Army Jeep. Before we owned it, it belonged to my Grandfather. He was a Captain in the US Army during WWII, and in later years purchased the same year military jeep that he used during the war, and had it restored. It was in good running condition up until the time he passed away. We have owned it now for 5 years. It is not running at this time, but I believe that it is from sitting the past few years. It has been garage kept. We also have the original manuals for the jeep. This has been a very hard decision for us to make, so ONLY SERIOUS INQUIRIES will be considered.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This has the APU hood. Unclear if this was a converted APU flattie or if the hood was added later to this flattie. Only half hour left in the auction:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
It hasn’t been run in 5 years.
“1942 Military Jeep (Willy’s) Been in family since 1968.
Hasn’t been started in 5 years. Ready for restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9450.
sI’m not sure what a “Jeep Master” is? The seller has some history on this jeep’s travel to Japan and back.
“For sale is 1942 Jeep Master. Given that it was built in 1942; it is an army Jeep. Jeep was manufactured by Willy’s overland motor company. Truck is a 3/4 ton with improved F-head engine (still have original engine and will be included with price) with 16, 171 miles although an estimated 90k miles are on the body. Truck is 4WD with a floating axle. Great story on this car. Traveled to Japan where it had its transfer case replaced in 1952. (have receipts) From there it rested at a boy scout camp in Arizona. After this a friend purchased in in 1960 and sold to me in 1968 where I have owned it since. Truck runs well but needs a restoration man to achieve her full potential. Asking $9,450. Willing to hear offers. Delivery possible”
Doug forwarded this link. No obvious rust. This might be worth a look.
