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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
This runs and drives. It is a column shift and three data tags, so might be a VEC.
“For sale is a 1946 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2C
Has a ford motor in it.
Runs and drives. “Three on the Tree” stick shift.
Four wheel drive works. Lights Work.”
No title, but looks pretty complete.
“1946 Willys CJ2A, no title, sold as parts vehicle only. Body is in good condition an the vehicle is pretty much complete. Would make a great rat rod or just restore back to original. Asking $1000 or best offer, call 4 zero 2. three 0 six. zero 2 9 8 if you are interested. You’ll need a trailer and possibly a winch or come-a-long to load, there could be a tractor present to help load also.
Again this is a parts only, no title 1946 Willys.”

“Willys MB for sale. Not sure of exact year but definately WWII. The body had a hardtop on it for much of its life so the floors are pretty decent. The sides and rear panel are straight. Front bumper is missing but more importantly the frame horns and gussets are intact which makes restoration much easier. Comes with tub, hood, fenders, grille, windshield, frame, both axles, wheels, a tires. What you see pictured. Restore this little warhorse to its former glory! WWII Jeeps in any condition fetch very high prices now and this one is an inexpensive starting point. We’ve all wanted one of these since we were twelve, so here’s your chance…won’t last long. Need to make room in my yard. Get it and relive a piece of WWII history.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. There’s some value here. Was $2200.
“Willys flat fender 1947 Ford 289 engine. $2200 as is. Needs to be hauled away. Firm price! Serious inquiries only!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The PTO lever is hard to see, but is there.
“jeep cj2a 1947-48 complete, have front bumper. has p t o drive , has not run 6 years.have 16 ” wheels 2000.00 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
Not sure how much value is here.
“This is a 1955 jeep willy for sale. It doesn’t run at the moment but it was driven to the spot it is currently parked about 5 years ago so I’m sure if you are a mechanic or are good with vehicles it wouldn’t take more than a couple days to get it running again. As you can see from the pictures this jeep needs plenty of work. Any Willy’s Jeep of this year is going to be a great classic to fix up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.

If you’ve been reading the site for a while you might remember a couple of Nate Bolduc’s projects. At the end of 2012, Nate shared with us photos of a very stock CJ-3A he purchased. Since then, not only has he been helping out at the CJ-3A Page, but he’s also been rebuilding this jeep with a Forest Service theme. He’s even named the jeep Teddy, after Theodore Roosevelt. You can learn more (lots of pics and info) at his thread on the CJ-3A Page:

Here are a few pics of his progress:
This shows the stock CJ-3A after purchased. Note that it’s got some rot along the lower body, which means some body fixin’
Nate built this custom spare tire, water, and his Indian Fire Pump. the quick disconnect looks like a smart idea.
Nate picked up a PTO winch at the Willys Picnic in June. He’s got it installed behind a Warn OD.
Nate decided to try R&Ps dual master cylinder upgrade. He found it an easy upgrade and plans to purchase one for his next project.
Here’s a photo of the completed restoration, just in time to test it on this winter’s ice!
