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 .
The body seems like it’s in pretty good shape. Is the bed shortened?

“47 Willey’s tub. Has fenders . Tub is rough. 500 but make me offer. Need cash”
This short article (with far too many ads) shows some of the Hy-Rail jeep examples over the years. Thanks to Bill for sharing it.
Taar’s selling her father’s CJ-2A. It’s seen some repairs and doesn’t run at the moment. Unclear if the engine spins or not. You can email her at tara.dicken21 @ gmail.com (remove spaces around the @).
“My father recently passed away and left me with several vehicles I am now trying to find homes for. One if these is a 1946 jeep cj3a with a title. It’s not in good shape at all as it has been outside in a barn. Would love for it to go to a good home.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**Was $6500.
“We’ve owned this Jeep for over 12 years. It’s been our primary trail Jeep. We’ve driven it all over the Targhee N.F. and when we lived in Boise it took us through the Boise Mountains and across the Owyhee Desert. No rock crawling or hard abuse, just easy cruising on gravel roads.
It starts, stops, runs, shifts and steers as it should. It’s mostly stock. We converted it from the 24 volt military system to 12 volts and added some BDS 2 1/2” lift springs and shocks.
F134 4 cylinder engine is strong, compression and oil pressure are good. Transmission and transfer case shift fine. I’ve had the original military carburetor and fuel pump professionally rebuilt. Tires are in great shape.
It’s been a great Jeep for us. But we’ve got a couple other projects going and it’s time for the next owner to enjoy it. Clear Idaho title in my name. $6500. Cash only. No trades. Located in Rexburg, Idaho.”
Tom spotted this amalgamation of parts. Listed as a 1951 CJ-3A, this jeep has a DJ-3A front end, but the front crossmember suggests the frame is not from a DJ. The body could be DJ-3A. The engine isn’t, but it is stuck anyway.

Flat Fender Jeep project. Titled as a 1951 CJ3A is 2WD. I believe it has a 283 Chevy engine in it but engine is stuck and I do not have time to mess with it. Has some rust, but good project. If listing is up it’s available and will not respond to that question.”

“Here we have for sale an Original 1970’s Jeep CJ7 CJ5 Renegade Factory Forged Aluminum Slotted Wheel. This is a rare and highly sought after wheel that was a factory optional wheel for CJ’s back in the day. The wheel is pretty nice and its been off a Jeep for years. The aluminum is in good shape. The lug holes are in good shape. The wheel measures 15×7. There are a couple nicks in the aluminum and around the outer lip where wheels have been stacked on top of it. It should polish up well and be ready to run again.”
Blaine shared this truck. It’s got a hydraulic dump bed. It also has a Nissan engine.

“Willys pickup…electric over hydraulic dump bed, 4wd, SD 22 Nissan diesel engine. The rig drives but is not roadable. Floor boards rusted out. Buy the complete rig for the asking price, or the rig without the engine for $1500.”
Tom shared this project with some parts that appear in good shape.

“1963 willys jeep tuxedo edition. Hasn’t been started in 10 years. Ran great before I took it apart to restore and never did, unfortunately. Everything is there, other then the front windshield. 3 speed manual. Asking $2,200 OBO”
Glenn spotted this rare and restored Mahl Loader and CJ-2A. There are a ton of detail photos at BaT’s auction page. Note that the serial number used for the title is an engine number and not the original serial number. So, a buyer might want to consider that it your state is extra picky.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1948-willys-cj-2a-18/
“This 1948 Willys CJ-2A is powered by a 134ci Go-Devil inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission and is fitted with a MAHL Jeep Loader attachment produced by Standard Iron & Wire Works Inc. of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The pair was acquired by the seller around 2010 and subsequently refurbished before installation of the loader in 2016. The truck is finished in black over green vinyl and features white-painted 16″ steel wheels, a fold-flat windshield, a dual-range transfer case, a power take-off unit, a Gre-Sen hydraulic pump, and cab-mounted hydraulic controls. This CJ-2A and Jeep Loader are now offered with an award, articles about the project, and a clean Minnesota title in the name of the seller’s company…..
The factory chassis tag has been replaced with a reproduction unit that shows a blank serial number, and the seller is unable to locate the chassis number on the vehicle itself. The last six digits of the VIN on the title—J172095—are consistent with that of a 1948 Willys CJ-2A.”
