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
“World War II era jeep that is very restorable. Many original parts. Non-running 4 cyl. L-block post war motor.”
UPDATE: This was $85,000 for the whole collection. I have found some related craigslist ads. See them below.
I’ve found a couple references to the sale of this collection. Anyone know more? Based on the pic to the right, these don’t appear in great condition. My guess is that this is over priced.
Here is a link to another reference at Hemmings, where I found the pic to the right.
Here’s a link to Hemmings that reads “WILLYS: elderly WW II veteran has vintage Jeep collection, 40s-60s, both military and civilian, must sell, best offer.”
======================
CRAIGSLIST ADS RELATED TO ABOVE:
1946 CJ-2A $4995
This one looks perfectly find. The price doesn’t seem that outrageous.
“1946 Willys C-J2A spruce green all original condition, partially restored with new canvas removable top – runs and drives – $4,995”
1948 CJ-2A $11,500
This one doesn’t look like it is in great condition. There’s no reason to think it is worth $11,500.
“1948 Willys C-J2A signal red fully restored and in great condition – $11,500– Firm”
UPDATE: The price is still$1200 (been for sale for months).
Here’s a project or parts MB. Sounds like it needs to go ….

There’s been several mods to this vehicle. Note that the front tires are a little farther forward then they should be. Also, this is a 2wd vehicle. it appears to have a home-made tailgate? (see other pic)
“1942 Willys Jeep, CJ-2A, V6 Buick, automatic, 2wd, new tires, clean, clear title, current registration, and just runs great.
The paint job on this is pretty unusual. It looks like a tile mosaic. The top is in poor condition.
“Body, running equipment, and engine all excellent. Interior and top need work. Has a tow bar to pull it with and you will need a light bar for rear if going very far. If you want to drive it away bring top post battery.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4100
Here’s a good price on a complete, good looking MB.
“FOR SALE – 1945Willys Jeep: This is an older depot restoration with back lights and a tire rack that is not original. This jeep has newer canvas on the seats and working electrical system. The engine is strong and the transmission is smooth, this jeep runs great. The tub is not original, The jeep is located in santa rosa with a miliary vehicle company.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.
I’m not sure what is funkier, the roll bar or the paint job. However, I don’t think the price is too bad given it runs.

It’s one of the cleanest jeeps around? I’d hate to see the dirty ones.

This ad includes links to a variety of upclose images. I think it gives a pretty honest look at the vehicle (wish all ads were this good).
“1942 Willy’s Jeep (flat fender) with Chevy 350 engine, new Borg Warner T150 transmission, Advanced adapter plate to engine/bell housing, transfer case bearings new, new battery & Quadrajet carburator, fuel filter & line. The engine has double hump 2.02″ heads and I was told it was out of a ‘70’s Corvette. The tires have a ton of tread on them and look like they’re very new. The motor turns over easily and idles just like a V8 should. This Jeep is setup well with Saginaw power steering, line locker parking brake and 2 jerry can 5 gallon fuel can holders. Since it’s a Military Jeep, it’s also got the shovel storage on the driver’s side.”
