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 .
Project.
“1942 war 2 MB Willys (jeep) for Restoration or Parts. Partially disassembled. Witch means I have removed the mud and some rust.
Ford flat head, 3 speed trans
The tub has been sand blasted and I have new panels for the bad spots. To many projects and something has to”

Needs work.
“Great project Jeep for someone. CLEAN TITLE Starts right up, runs and drives. Will need some work to be road worthy. Needs some wiring (chassis wiring) Needs brake work. (Master cylinder) One tire leaks down after a few days, will need new tube. Had some oil leaks that should be fixed before it is driven much. Currently has no seats but I’m working on getting some mounted. Motor is a Studebaker Flathead I6 170 from a early 50’s champion or similar The rest of the drivetrain is all original Willy’s. Chassis is rust free but the body has some rust. Will be a fun project for someone. Won’t take much to get it on the road.”

UPDATE: This has parts for a couple different trucks.
Might need some interior finishing.
“1947 Willys Jeep Pick-up Truck 250 ci. in. Chevy engine Complete rebuilt transmission – transfer case Warn brand over drive addition, Power Steering allnew brake parts also comes with pioneer rack with shovel and tire pump. This Jeep was taken fully apart and put back together all new parts. Will need interior (headliner, carpet) Drives,stops,shifts,is registered in my name with a clear Florida title and insured.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It’s a column shift with indents (top indent at least) so likely a VEC CJ-2A. Body is rough, though has been patched in places. You don’t often see just one part time hub. I’d check to make sure the left front axle and/or front R&P doesn’t have some issue.
“I was told by the heirs that this was a 1948 Willys Jeep, I do not have a title, so I am unsure , there is a long number on the engine, that could lend a clue. This is a 3 speed standard trans, on the column, with two shift levers on the floor, it rolls easy, and the linkage is all free to the trans and transfer case. The odometer reads 38k miles, what you see is what I have, there are no extra parts, engine is complete, radiator and all parts in engine compartment intact.
Serious only, I’m sure the parts are hard to find for this vintage , possibly a 1947 Willys Jeep, Convertible,
the frame is good, rears are complete, and has locking hub on the front left wheel , under the paint is was a medium green when new.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
The body might be MB, given the gas tank. No full floaters in the back. Probably a mix of parts.
“Got it on trade don’t know much about it but it ain’t locked up willing to sell or trade for other vehicles it is a good project for someone who has the time trade for truck or just let me know what you got”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
These two were part of a collection for sale in late 2017.
1. CJ-2A $1000: I have a Willys Jeep, flat hood, flat 4 cylinder, mostly complete. NO title but can give bill of sale. $1,000 cash or May trade for something.
2.1960 CJ-3B $1500: “I have a 1960 Willys Jeep. Tall hood which means the inline 4 cylinder. Complete I believe but rough. Clear KY title. Please no calls or texts after 11pm. May trade for something but prefer cash or cash and bang.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Has a variety of updates, but still very much a project.
“This is a project Jeep. 327chevy, sm420 transmission, custom frame complete body. Lots of parts included too much to list. Just don’t have time to finish.”
Everyone once in a while readers have forwarded Facebook Marketplace ads with a jeep for sale. But, for the most part I have ignored this resource. I just didn’t think there was much there. I was wrong.
There are a large number of vintage jeeps for sale that I haven’t seen listed elsewhere. I’ve listed a number of them in posts for today. However, I know not everyone has a FB account, so that doesn’t create a dilemma for some folks. I don’t have an answer of that just yet. I also don’t have a system yet for efficiently searching the Marketplace on a national basis, so I don’t know how using the Marketplace will effect my time.
To see what is possible, I plan to do research into the Marketplace platform. It would be great if I could automate some of this stuff, making less work for me and more jeeps for readers. We’ll see how it goes!
This is an example from the Dallas Craigslist with a simple “Willys” search. Hopefully, FB will be allow complex searches like I do on Craigslist.
Seth shared this unusual opportunity. This Spring a group is crossing Greenland. The event is auctioning off a seat. The price starts at a meager $25k. Learn more on eBay

This look like a nice build.
“1958 Willy’s CJ-3B high hood, $15,000 or best offer. Throttle bottle fuel injected 350 with gear drive, T18 4 Speed coupled to Dana 20 transfer case, Dana 44 front and rear axles, warn 30 spline axle shafts, full floating rear end, Detroit locker in the front and ARB air locker in the rear, 488 gears. 33X12.5X15 BFG mud terrain tires, 5×5.5 bolt pattern, spare tire and carrier, on board air, disc brakes all the way around, hydraulic clutch, Black Diamond XCL coil link suspension, Warn 9500 winch, new deep cycle optima, new fuel pumps. This is your chance to own a piece of NW four wheeling history and climb just about any trail, unfortunately it just sits most of the time and needs a new home where it can be driven, rock crawled, wheeled, pampered and appreciated. If you have ever opened a 4×4 magazine from the early to mid 90’s odds are you saw this in there.”

Looks in good shape. Has some updates.

Same owners since early 70’s.”

Seller also has an early VEC CJ-2A for sale.
“This is a rare World War Two military jeep Willys MB. It runs and drives but for dependable driving will need more attention. The Jeep came from Page Arizona and was registered with an Arizona ID with oversight of 1951 as the year, quite common mistake made at DMV in old days.. It is 100% genuine MB Jeep from pre-1945. The body is solid without any bondo and needs to be gone through before going to the paint shop. What you see in the pics is surface rust being exposed to the weather in Page Arizona where it came from. Chassis and undercarriage are solid with just the typical rust in the channels. Inner Windshield frame has rust but outer frame is solid. Great candidate for show quality restoration . The previous owner overhauled the original flat head MB “devil” engine and installed rebuilt tranny and transfer case done by a professional vintage jeep part supplier here in Phoenix. Carter Carburetor still needs fine tuning and electrical harness replaced. Vehicle runs and drives but needs restoration to be reliable driver or showing in parades. I can send you multiple photos and answer any questions you may have if seriously interested in owning a piece of war memorabilia that will only appreciate with time .
I also have a very early production 1946 CJ2A VEJ. Might sell together to any serious buyer.”
