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 .
Apparently, this has been available for about a year, but it’s the first time I’ve seen the ad.

“1947 Jeep Willy’s CJ2A. Standard Transmission, Banana Top, Chrome Wheels, Radical Tires, Original Engine, Hutch included (not currently attached), Runs Good, Won trophies in several car shows.”
John shared this Surrey that has been sprayed with a lighter coat of paint. I discovered I have pics of this from at least a decade ago that were part of Bruce Agan’s archives, so it’s been this color for a while.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1960-willys-dj3a-surrey
“This 1960 Willys DJ-3A Surrey is one of a reported 1,000 examples produced between 1959 and 1964, and approximately 200 of the 1,800 miles shown were added since the vehicle was purchased by the seller in 2011. The body has been repainted light pink, and it features 15″ steel wheels, a rear-mounted spare tire, and chrome bumpers as well as vinyl upholstery that matches the pink- and white-striped removable top, spare tire cover, and sides. Power is from a 134ci inline-four paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Now showing 1,800 miles, this Surrey is offered in California with an owner’s manual, original sales paperwork, and a clean Montana title in the name of the seller’s business.”
This looks in good shape. It lacks a title.

“1947 CJ2A. L134 motor with great compression numbers.Was told it had been rebuilt with not a lot of miles since. Has bestop Full top with removable doors. Front brakes upgraded to 11 inch so stops much better than original. Rancho Springs and shocks. Saginaw steering upgrade so both easier to steer and tighter turning radius. New Battery, Fuel Pump, Voltage regulator, stater relay, and Waterpump. Repaired emergency brake, Transferase rear output seal, Front differential pinion seal. Flushed radiator and all new fluids in transfer case, transmission and both Differentials. It’s still 6 volt and all lights work. Comes with bill of sale. The person i got it from had it for 7 years so should be easy to obtain a bonded title.”
UPDATE: This may be an M-201 (at the very least it has some M-201 parts). Thanks to Gaston for pointing it out.
John shared this auction for an MB rebuilt in Europe, along with a trailer.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1944-willys-mb-4
“This Willys MB is said to have been refurbished in Europe and was imported to the United States before it was purchased by the current owner in 2017. The truck is finished in olive drab green with US Army–style graphics, and power comes from a 134ci “Go-Devil” flathead inline-four paired with a three-speed manual gearbox and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes 16″ steel wheels, military tires, a rear-mounted spare, turn signals, a folding windshield, a tan soft top, a rear pintle hitch, pioneer tools, a jerrycan, seats with tan canvas cushions, a dash-mounted rifle holder, and radio equipment. The accompanying single-axle utility trailer is equipped with taillights, a canvas top panel, and troop-style seating with tan cushions. This Willys MB and trailer are now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with canvas doors and side panels, an inoperable rifle, and Arizona titles for both the Willys and the trailer.”
This seems worth a look. It could use a few more parts than just a starter (like air filter parts).

“Willys Jeepster in need of restoration. It is a complete vehicle only missing hubcaps and door sills. It doesn’t run and has a 1963 230 ohv Tornado engine. It has a PA title.”
Andy shared this plow for sale. The seller doesn’t want to scrap this. It includes a Rogers’ data plate. Here are some related brochures.

“I acquired this plow years ago was told went to a jeep . I don’t see myself ever using it . I’m located in Guilford CT Best offer takes it , just don’t want to scrap it . Would like to go to someone that will appreciate it”

“Selling a rolling mb, military jeep chassis , Willy’s frame, has full floating rear axle, very nice steering wheel, very decent frame, great for your project Willy’s jeep”
This project includes a Koenig 550 barn-door hardtop (with data plate).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3914629752153422
“Offered for sale is a 1960 Willys CJ-5 with a Koenig 550 hard top. It has the EXTREMELY rare optional vertical doors in the rear. The motor is a 1970’s Chevy V8.
It needs the front end rebuilt. I parked it with the intent to restore it about a year ago. It ran great. If you bring a battery, it might start, but I can’t promise anything. Needs pressure plate.
Also included in the deal is a set of steel wheels and some really nice mud tires. The front left tire has a slow leak and will go flat after a couple days, but you can air it up to put it on your trailer. (You’ll need an air tank, my hose won’t reach.) Let me know if you have any questions I hate to sell the old girl, it’s been in the family a long time, but I’ve faced the fact I don’t have the time or money to give her the love she deserves. Price is OBO Would be a great project, it turns a lot of heads on the road. 765-two78-8two26”
The current price is $6700. It doesn’t run, but might not take much to get going.

The body has been lengthened. Not sure how much value is here. Thanks to TJ for sharing.

“I’m parting out my project. I lengthened the tub about 3″ at the door frame. This tub is actually kinda rare. It’s civilian but has the shovel and axe dents in the drivers side and a few other unique things. I have other parts on it for sale also. Not a lot of original parts though.”
