About eWillys
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.
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 .
“One family owned 1955 CJ3B Willys Jeep with Warn Hubs and Ramsey Winch. Jeep is in very good condition, and has been lovingly maintained and kept garaged for more than 60 years. 1/4 ton 2 door, 4-cyl., F-head engine with 3 speeds, 4-wheel drive and compound low.

“I have a 1946 Jeep Willys for sale. It is in pieces and needs a lot of work. The engine, transmission, and transfer case are all together and all function. There are a total of 7 tires and rims with it, all the tires are very uses but the rims vary in condition. 2 of the rims are Military style and in excellent condition. It also has a spare hood and front grill that are both in good condition. I am asking for $1000 or best offer. Please call with any other questions.”
“I HAVE A FRESH BARN FIND 1942 WILLYS JEEP IT HAS A 289 FORD MOTOR OUT OF A MUSTANG AND IT WAS RUNNING WHEN IT WAS PARKED. I HAVE A CLEAN ORGINAL TITLE IN HAND.”
(04/20/2019) This has VT tags, but never been to VT, which likely means a replacement title of some type.
“Since buying this ’54 Willys CJ-3B in Utah nine years ago, it has been garaged in Colorado (despite the VT tags, it’s never been to VT). It’s rust free and almost completely overhauled. Since I’ve owned it I have made the following improvements: Remanufactured engine, new radiator, new leaf springs, new struts, new fuel pump, new carburetor, new distributor cap and harness, new points, etc. It runs great. I am moving and have too many vehicles. I have a nearly new dove tail trailer (bought it for $2,600 and have put about 2-3 thousand miles on it) that I would sell for $1500 along with the Jeep. I have about $25,000 into this vehicle, including the initial acquisition cost. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty close. This is likely the most mechanically sound stock Willys on the market.”
It’s late and I’m bushed, so no updates today (and I’m behind on emails). We had a great time jeeping with Karson on Sunday. We drive home from SLC on Monday morning. So, updates will happen on Tuesday.
Today will be driving part of the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park, at least to the point where the river is currently blocking the trail (the rivers are higher than normal here in Canyonlands right now. We are driving a jeep rented through #Canyonlandsjeep
I’ll report on our adventure on Monday. We’ll be on the road most of Monday, so regular updates will likely not appear until Tuesday morning.
Below are some pics of our test-drive on Saturday night.

Originally published in 2013, this updated post includes better images (though a few still need better images) along with the dates of publishing (at least the ones I’ve found so far). This campaign appears to have been limited to 1948. There are thirteen ads in all. They appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, and Life Magazine (and likely other places).
1) The “A Hit in Boston and Buenos Aires” ad was published in the February 07, 1948, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, page 108.
2) The “At Home in Portland and Paris” ad was published in the March 06, 1948, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, page 115. It was also published in Colliers Magazine, January 24, 1948, page 58.
3) The “Hailed in Minneapolis and Mexico” ad was published in the March 20, 1948, issue of Collier’s Weekly, page 68.
4) The “It’s the Same In San Francisco and Stockholm” ad was published in the April 10, 1948, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, page 111.
