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 .
Here’s a first-year CJ-5 with under 50,000 miles. This has the early 0-10 King Seeley speedometer. This is a tempting one…

“Cool old jeep Willy’s cj5 in running and driving condition. Odo shows 49332 miles on the inline 4. Only surface rust, nothing eating through. Meticulously taken care of by my uncle, used as his ranch car in California. Cool patina, flip down front window, classic.”
The seller doesn’t mention it, but this appears to have a replacement body.

“This is a 1953 Willys CJ3B jeep. Total rust free jeep with some goodies on it. Restored 20 years ago and rebuilt motor, Hurricane inline 4, Runs like a sewing machine. Custom front bumper to hold the rare winch Warn 8274, has Warn locking hubs, Warn overdrive. Custom rollbar with jerry can. 3 speed trans. Good clutch. 4×4 works great. I currently drive this jeep daily to the store etc. Great little jeep for around town and crawling in the mountains. It gets attention everywhere. Comes with a bikini top and a full black tiger soft top and soft doors. I also have some original parts that came off it as well.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/17/2024) If I had more time for projects, I would consider snagging this. This may be the first uninstalled body I’ve seen.

“Google PARMLEY, I found a nice write up about the Parmley on ewillys.com and attached the photos from the website for reference only. These bodies were made in California to fit the CJ 5 Jeep This one has never been installed On 1946 Jeep chassis with small block Chevy and turbo 350 I have a low miles 4.3 GM V-6 and overdrive automatic for an additional 500”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/28/2023) Looks in good shape, though the roll bar design (which appears attached to the outside of the body) is unusual. Has a nice setup for carrying gas cans.

“Fun Willy 1949 Jeep CJ2A, daily driver but getting cold and feel like someone else should enjoy!”
This has been parked a few years.

“1948 willys ran an drove when I parked it (3 years ago) very little rust, solid body. Clean PA title All wiring replaced with new harness, with LED lights. Was a side project and Unfortunately I have some personal issues come up this year and need to sell it. Asking $5,500 or best offer. Will consider partial trades as well.”
I believe this jeep is equipped with some vintage Runck bumpers (out of North Bend, Ohio). The horizontal posts on the bumpers is the clue. The roll bar might also be Runck.

“6 cylinder, 3-speed, 4-wheel drive. Runs and drives. Was used as a farm vehicle. Would be a good jeep to fix up. Pretty solid body. Frame is good. Real nice tires. Not looking to trade!”
This has been available for a few weeks. It looks to have an overdrive and some early Free-Lock hubs. I could grab this for someone if they want the overdrive and other parts. I just want the hubs, but I don’t want a parts jeep sitting around. No description provided.

Listed as a 1949, this has a 1948 serial number.

“Hey everyone this is a pretty neat CJ-2A Willy’s Jeep. I get into a conversation every time I drive it. I wanted to keep the Patina look but clean up the inside along with reliability with this truck. Registered as a 1949 Cj-2A Jeep Willy’s. I was able to obtain a transferable registration. There is no title but I have a transferable registration. This has been a joy to own and drive. Has a few thousand $ in new parts. (Have most of the receipts) All fluids changed within 4 months. Diff, trans, engine, coolant, transfer. Could use a new fly wheel gear/ brake work. Definitely has its quirks but overall makes it down the road. 140 therm, Newer shock’s.All new wiring around, starter, battery, lights, etc. carb adjustment, Bell crank rebuild. More and more parts to add. Comes with a bin of old and new parts. This has the Kaiser supersonic engine and head. Body is alright. Some patches on it. 3 speed. 4cyl Jeep Has been a fun summer with it.”
This was listed at an estate sale just over a week ago. The sellers thought it worth $25k, but obviously it isn’t. It does look to have a column shift and tool indents.

“1946 Willys Jeep, Rare, great project vehicle. All original parts. Will take best offer. It is worth about 25k
Come see it in person September 6th, 7th, and 8th, 9-3during our estate sale.”
If the engine is in good shape, it’s worth the price of the jeep. Thanks to Blaine for sharing it.

“Mini jeep 22 hp”
Blaine shared this trailer. Note that one lug appears missing.

“Home built trailer utilizing Jeep pickup bed and a rear truck axel. Lights work. No brakes. Racks are removable. Comes with tool box. Jack mounted on tongue. Tires new spring 2024. For another hundred I gotta spare you can have. I hauled this trailer loaded from Oregon in April. It pulls great with my Tacoma. Figuring out how to license it in NYS is beyond me. Never occurred to me it would need a plate.
One could use this easily off highway on the farm, in an orchard, or sugar bush.”
UPDATE: Seems to be still available.
(07/27/2024) This ad was posted a year ago. Unclear if still available or not.
