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 one eBay.
Bill spotted this MB. It has some parts value at the very least.
“1945 WW2 Jeep. Manufactured by Willys is a barn find in Nebraska was used on a farm for fencing and other other farm activities. Does not run has a flat head motor and T 84 transmission. Has original fuel tank, but has a hole rusted in the side. Of tank will come with extra parts. It is a great candidate for a full restoration or use as a reenactment Jeep it has some rust look over the pictures.”
The serial number indicates this is a 1943 GPW.

“I have for sale a Ford GPW 119649 that is a project. The engine is not original but a willys motor and is stuck. It has a t90 transmission in it. It has had some body work done on it and the fuel well has been covered. There are many parts that are carrying the F mark. I don’t believe the steering sector is original. What you see is what your getting. No title on this jeep. I have several pictures of this jeep available. This is not a rust bucket”
Some good bones for a Jeepster project, but does have some floor rust. Thanks to Bill for sharing. Price is negotiable.

“This solid 1950 Jeepster has been parked in an airline hanger since 1982 an owner parked and never used after that this is a basket case but very solid body for sure less the four floor pans. The engine is tight at this point and I’ve been told that everything needed to complete the restoration is in the vehicle less a few minor things that I have discovered. Same owner since 1959 I just lost interest in the vehicle, the photos tell a story for the most part and I as a collision professional I’m selling this for a good agent friend of mine who is unhealthy and doesn’t enjoy the selling process I looked closely at the jeep today and impressed with a solid body and it looks to be accident free, four-cylinder three speed and the keys are with the vehicle ”
This is missing the rear door and driver’s door.

No pics provided.

“1947 Willys Jeep, ready for restoration. Was running when we started to get ready for painting several years ago. Boxes of new parts. Always indoor stored.”
Seller indicates this would fit a 2A, but it would do so poorly. The top is disassembled and a little rough, but the price seems good.

“Jeep hard top which needs restored. Pretty solid and all the glass is in it. Have metal doors to go with it but need restored as well. The door glass is there. The top and doors were disassembled to restore but got a different top, so did not finish the restore. This is a FCFS and no holding. If it is listed then it is available and when it is sold it will be marked sold. I believe this top is for an older jeep CJ5 but will fit others. I have had it on my CJ5 but I am sure it will fit a CJ2a as well.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
I’m not sure if the bend in the back is just a little flexing or whether it is more permanent than that.
“Cj 5 Jeep front clip great condition just needs washed”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,500.
(08/06/2022) This combo package includes a CJ-2A, boat and trailer. I have no idea what the value of the boat and trailer would be. It has a Porter & Reed hardtop.
“Here is the ultimate travelers package. Jeep, boat, and trailer. The Jeep is in good condition and is great for any outdoor enthusiast. The Jeep is a 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. The mileage is unknown. Facebook wanted a number so we we made something up. The boat is a 12’ 1962 Montgomery Wards Sea King Jon Boat. The motor is a 1942 Montgomery Wards 3.5 HP. The boat comes with the trailer. The package also includes a 11’ trailer for the Jeep. This is a great package for anyone that enjoys the outdoors and loves to fish.”
UPDATE: Here’s an additional photo. It was posted to the Toledo Region History and Memorabilia Facebook Page by Nelson Shaffer, who found the photo at the UAW Local 12 Office in Toledo.

Originally posted April 10, 2019: During WWII Brook Stevens developed a couple different Command Car concepts. All the pics of these can be seen at the Milwaukee Art Museum’s site.
1. The first one is a 6×6 vehicle. It was made into an actual vehicle. I don’t know what happened to it. I’m pretty sure I have a press photo fo this vehicle somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it. This very well could be on the same platform as other 6x6s of the era.
These two photos of the M-274 Mule were posted to the Toledo Region History and Memorabilia Facebook Page by Nelson Shaffer, who found the photo at the UAW Local 12 Office in Toledo. I’m not sure why this has a placard for the 1/4 and 1 ton trailers on it?
