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 $1500
It has an overdrive, a sm420, and presumably a sm420-dana 18 adapater. There’s some value here. There is no motor.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
70% complete? I can’t tell what’s missing. Maybe it’s apart?
“70% complete… original drive-train, original go-devil flathead 4 cylinder, new canvas on front seats & rear bench seat, 12 volt, runs good, no rust, needs brakes”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2500.
The seller notes this has a “head turning paint job”. I could suggest that it’s not my head that’s turning, but I try not to be so blunt. If the seller reads this, I’d strongly suggest painting it green. The value will increase.
“hello this listing is for a 1947 willys jeep i bought about 6 months ago and ive done some work to it but i just have to many toys soo this has to go it has the original flathead engine that runs great smokes a lil bit (rings) the 4 wheel drive works great so does the high and low range. it has a new fuel pump and the radiator was reconditioned and it has a head turning paint job!!! own a peice of history asking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It runs but doesn’t stop. I think this is a CJ-3A with a 2A windshield.
“1952 Jeep Willys, ready for restoration. Pretty solid body and frame compared to most Jeeps of this vintage. Motor runs great and transmission on tranfsercase shift well. This Jeep will need brake work and will need to be trailered”

(09/15/09) This appears like a nicely original Wagon in good shape.
“Mechanically original (6 volt system). Engine rebuilt in mid 90s (valves replaced to accept unleaded fuel.) Reupholstered in 2002. Garage kept, been in family 40 years in dry NE Oregon. Teen daughters rolling their eyes. Priced at lower end of KBB for it’s condition.”

Lots of useful trail-oriented upgrades on this jeep.

This appears to be a good price.
“

(09/05/09) It looks like a parts jeep.
“46 Willys with F head engine. Tear down started but ran out of time to work on it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** .. and it is heading to Norway. Congrats to James and to the new owner (whom I hope sends pics of it from Norway!). James wants to thank Ron from the G503 Site for helping out with this.
James has decided to sell his 1946 VEC CJ-2A #18526, column shift, driver’s indents, no rust. original docs and rear glass light. It works great and is in fantastic shape. He simply wants to have something he can modify and he doesn’t want to modify this CJ-2A because it is in such good shape.
James writes: It has original motor and all ACMs match 8057. A lot of work was done in 1985 at Archer Bros, Hayward. Motor wa rebuilt at 51k and is now at almost 62k. There is no rust. The springs and shackles not original; instead it has a superlift 2.5″. The top bow side holders and rear corner brackets have been removed. The front bumper mount has one ‘bubba weld’ and the rear bumper removed. I have the original rear light, trailer socket cover, and vacuum wiper. There are rear ‘bubba’ 4″ cutouts for lights. I’m the 4th owner and have lots of reciepts and docs. The Original owner had it until 1985, the 2nd to 2007, the 3rd to last year then me. This cj is a blast to drive and my family loves it, but I just can’t mod it like I want. It has survived 63 years without any major mods and I don’t have the heart to start ripping it up now.
****SOLD ****
Pic from when first purchased, before James cleaned it up a little:
Recent pic — James pulled off the diamond plating and, to his amazement, found no rust or damage:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000

“I have a 52 willys jeep that I bought to restore and drive but ran out of time and money and I am tired of seeing it rust away. I never tried to start it because the guy I bought it from had started to do the wiring. He said that the motor ran but that was three years ago. Jeep is full of parts and pretty much all there. It only has the drivers seat frame and I have 5 almost new military tires and rims for it. Please make offer because I would like to see someone finish this. It also comes with an extra front and rear axle.”
My Broadband is acting slow tonight, so more updates will need to wait til tomorrow.
