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 .

That’s us sitting on a giant metal skull at the Frontier Texas Museum. Above us are Buffalo that pivot like weather vanes.
On Monday morning we awoke planning to reach Waco, but we got side tracked by an errant attempt to locate a Best Buy so Ann could buy a lens cap. I won’t go into the machinations of locating one, even when trying to use both of our ‘smart’ phones, or how we eventually (and accidentally) stumbled upon one and how we were so surprised that my wife did an all-too-quick u-turn in the street, dumping a rather sizable container of ice-cold water into my lap. No, you don’t want to hear all that!
And, I’m really sure that after you read this sad tale, and after you learn what it took to get the lens cap, and when you understand just how wet my underwear and shorts were, you’ll acknowledge the personal sacrifice I made in the cause of the lens cap, and only then can you appreciate that three hours after we bought the lens cap I accidentally dropped it onto the ground — it broke, into several pieces … uggghh!!!
Instead of that long, sad tale, I will give my impressions of Monday morning in Odessa. There were many men around our motel dressed in heavy one-piece work outfits. They all worked for energy companies with bland, forgettable names. All drove white trucks packed with tools in the back and with catchers on the front that could move an entire herd of cows. On Sunday evening, they had all looked tired from a long day; most were gone by Monday morning, but not before eating up all the available breakfast that our motel served that morning. They did manage to save me a piece of sausage.
We were out of the motel room by 9am. As we drove through Odessa, my view was filled with industrial buildings, piping equipment and oil rigs. The equipment suggested people here worked hard. My other impression was that land is cheap, or at least was cheap. All the endless industrial companies we passed on Monday morning on our way to nearby Midland seemed unconcerned with how they organized their stuff. Stacking didn’t seem to be a concern, as everything was horizontal. Space was cheap, stacking wasn’t necessary. Those were the thoughts that bounced around my head as we drove to the Petroleum Museum.
Near the entrance to the Petroleum Museum.
We arrived at the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum just after it opened. When we entered the building we were told that the entire history portion of the museum was undergoing an $18 million dollar remodel. Obviously that wouldn’t do us any good, but they did have a few exhibits — gems, paintings, and race cars — that we could view. Since we were there, we wandered around and looked at those for a short time. However, I really wished we could have see the main oil history exhibit.
Me pretending to drive one of the race cars. I didn’t fit very well, especially not on the driver’s side! I hope they didn’t mind me removing the steering wheel . . . .
The mineral exhibit was interesting, but shamefully I know very little about them (where are my ancestors when I need them??).
It’s a package deal. Seems to me there are two complete CJ-2As, one complete CJ-3A and a parts CJ-3A.
“Four Willys Jeeps in various condition. All are titled. These Jeeps are getting more and more difficult to find and truly classic!
Will not part out and will not sell them one at a time. This is a package deal, take them all for $10,000.
Great way to build three extraordinary runners and have a fourth body and chassis for a miscellaneous project. Flat fours with three speed transmissions. Substantially original for the most part. 1949 is set up as full time 4WD.
Bring your trailers! Serious inquiries only. No third parties. Local sale only, will not ship.”
“1953 US NAVY M38A1 frame off restoration with modified 11 inch self adjusting drum brakes, Rear axle locker, air compressor, remote master cylinder resvoir. Accessories included are: PRC10 radio, axe and shovel, military 24 volt warn winch, canvas top, side curtains, doors, Rear seat, seat belts, 24 volt military turn signals with rear gama-goat lens covers.”
“1959 Jeep CJ3 Willys for sale. GREAT FOR HUNTING & in excellent running condition! Has a rebuilt engine, new clutch & pressure plate, heavy duty front winch, diamond plate rear fender support & new tires! ONLY 17,548 miles.”
Nice looking militarized CJ-2A. I’m not sure how the numbers and wheels can be ‘correct’.
“Take a look at this extremely nice Willys Jeep that I am listing for my father, He is reducing his collection of cars and reluctantly decided to sell his Jeep. Tons of money has been put into this Jeep over the past few years including new paint with correct letters and star on hood, new seats and military top including side curtains, new bar tires and correct wheels, shovel and gas cans. This CJ runs and drives great and shows very well, people love this thing and spend a lot of time checking it out when its shown. ”
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A in amazing, original, condition. I have owned this jeep for the past 30 years and have the documents to trace it back to original owner. This jeep needs nothing and is in perfect running condition and is used for chores here around the farm all the time. Has original tool kit, original warn hubs, original fan belt, factory bill of sale, original keys, etc… the list goes on and on. Also comes with a 1946 Sears trailer. The trailer is taken apart because last year someone wanted to buy the jeep and trailer and I was prepping it for shipment. The deal never went thru and now this combination is once again for sale. This is part of a large collection from long time master Jeep restorer Brian Hainer with 30 years in the jeep business. I am hoping to find good homes for all my vehicles and memorabilia.”
