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 $3500
This needs an engine rebuild at the very least.
“1948 WILLYS FLAT FENDER JEEP. 4CYL. 3SPD. W/OVERDRIVE .RUNS BUT SMOKES SO PROBABLY NEEDS RINGS ?. I WAS GOING TO PUT A CHEV. V-8 IN IT, BUT WENT ON TO OTHER PROJECTS. NICE PROJECT . $3500.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900
Has an unusual body. My first thought was unibody, maybe fiberglass(?), as I can’t see seams between the front clip and the body. In fact, the hood appears to be a normal sized low hood that sits a top a solid CJ-3B clip (fenders/body/grille all molded/welded together).
“1948 Jeep Willys, 289l V-8, auto trans, B&M shifter, low miles, new interior and upholstery, soft top included, all terrain tires, aux. fuel tank rack, alloy wheels, tow bar, clean paint, runs excellent.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $35,750.
Bill spotted this … as he suggested, sit down …. the auction estimate was $12,000 – $17,000 which in itself is an inflated price in my opinion. However, this past weekend this franken jeep sold for $35,750.
“63 hp, 134.2 cu. in. flathead four-cylinder engine, Carter carburetor, three-speed manual gearbox with low-range, four-wheel drive with live axles front and rear with semi-elliptic leaf springs, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 80″
– From the Bill Jacobs Collection
– Only 578 miles since total nut-and-bolt restoration
– Original Forest Service Jeep with shovel and axe included
– 4WD with low range, trailer hitch, full gauge package
The 1946 Jeep offered here is beautifully finished in white. It was reportedly the property of the US Forest Service and carries the appropriate axe and shovel. It was the subject of an extremely detailed two-year restoration in 2001 by Jim Neirynck of Macomb Township, Michigan.”
My car broke down on i84 near hermiston tonight. My hose sprung a leak and i lost coolant over a stretch of a few miles. I didnt notice until my warning light voice activated, basically telling me to get off the damn road. After an hour or so Dan, who works for the oregon DOT saw me and offered to help. one thing lead to another and it turns out Dan owned a 1973 cj5. As you can image, jeep talk filled the conversation for the remainder of our time together. After stops at the auto parts store and ace hardware, i got what i needed to put everything back together. So, big THANK YOU to Dan!!!!!
No updates tonight as i wont get home until late. Another day, another adventure!!!
I seem to be driving in the internet’s slow lane tonight, so just a few updates!
The main reason for my trip to Seattle this weekend was to pick up a set of Forumla Desert Dog tires from Mitch with some good tread still left that I can use as offroad tires. I have four more hurricane rims just aching for these tires, so I can’t wait to get them mounted. This should really make Biscuit ready for summertime explorations. Thanks Mitch!
I think this image was snapped just over 2 decades ago outside of Victoria, BC. That’s me in the picture, shocked at the life that poor jeep must endure. I wanted to demonstrate the unethical treatment of this Willys. Just look how tight the cage is! With no place to move, to roam, to really stretch out, this poor Jeep was forced to live a semi-sheltered life outdoors, a prisoner to the whims of the weather. And, Canadians are usually so nice!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
There’s some value here. Looks like a good cage and the body appears solid too.
“This is a 1948 CJ2A with a clear title. It is sitting on a DJ frame and has a center mount Dana 44 rear end. The floor boards are rusted but the toolbox and dash are good. The windshield frame,hood, fenders and grille are also good. Pretty nice rollcage. No drivetrain.”
At $200 there’s some value.

Jim is selling a half cab at a good price.
He writes, “Half cab for a CJ 2A Willys jeep for sale. Price is $200.00 or best offer. More pictures available. Contact Jim at 605-210-0738.”
UPDATE: You can see the final build here.
A citizen of Uruguay, Hugo recently contacted me to appropriately correct me from confusing a town, Londrinha, that doesn’t exist in Puerto Rico with one that does exist in Brazil (In this case, I believe I can blame Google Maps for my error!).
Because of this error, I got to know a little more about Uruguay, which it turns out I didn’t really know that much about. One cool thing I learned is a hand was installed on (or more accurately into) the Punta del Este Beach in 1982 by Chilean artist Mario Irarrazabal. He titled it the Monumento al Ahogado (Monument to the Drowned). Apparently, he did another, different hand in a Chilean desert.
Hugo reports that the jeeping is excellent in Uruguay, though he hasn’t had much of a chance to jeep this summer (it is summer there of course right now), because his CJ-3A is currently dismantled in his garage for repair. However, he did forward this picture. Thanks for sharing!
UPDATE: This sold at the FC Round up in March 2011.
Kevin is selling his FC-170. He writes, “I have for sale a rust free 1963 FC170. This truck has been hit in the driver’s door, I have pulled out most of dent from the door, it still needs someone to repair the cab door opening and then fit the door. This is an old plumbers truck from California and is rust free, someone has installed a V-8 ford motor I think it is a 289 A real nice installation job It has a 4-speed transmission with 427 gears so it goes down the road real nice the dash has been changed out too not sure why but it looks cool almost factory. This truck runs and drives great I have driven it a number of times with the door off around my area. People tend to look at you funny driving around on the freeway without a driver’s door I’m asking $6200 or best offer. ”
