About eWillys
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.
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 .
Bill forwarded this MB/GPW. There have been a few updates on this. I didn’t know there were lighters in WWII jeeps! That must have been handy for keeping their cell phones charged, too.

(06/28/2011) I can’t tell if the yellow on the inside is due to a flash, or it is really yellow!

(07/19/2011) Francis has his jeep for sale. The tub is a bit of a puzzle, as it appears to be either a M-38 tub that has seen some good body work or a replacement tub of some type.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A
Ford 4 Cyl
I think it is the original Transmission, Transfer case and Axles.
Has the original gas tank under the drivers seat but it is not hooked up. There has been a gas tank added in the back under the car. Done very well and looks like it was done at the factory. I think it is about 10 gallon but if you connected the original also it could have over 20. The gas gauge has a switch to see the level of both tanks.
New front racing seats with 4 point harness.
Backseat bottom lifts to reveal under seat storage.
Roll cage.
Tires are good.
Runs and drives great.
4 wheel drive 4×4 works no problem, Does great off road.
Locking hubs in front.
Tow bar.
Warn 5000lb winch ( I don’t have the wiring or controls for it)
No major rust.
Tub is in great condition.
Comes with extra set of wider wheels with old 31inch tires mounted.
Cons-
Front axle leaks a little.
Crack in exhaust manifold ( still runs and drives good just a little exhaust leaks out of crack).
Sometimes pops out of second when slowing down in second.
Crack in windshield.( flat glass should be easy to replace)
Price is $3600. I am in no hurry to sell. I might go down a little but no low-balers. Would consider trade for something of equal value 4 wheel drive that can be used and a duel purpose commuter and off road. Would like a nice 4×4 jeep Cherokee, lifted.
Please email offers or trades.
Call if you would like to come see with cash in hand. 818-two93-five4one7
I am not interested in letting everyone test drive my 64 year old jeep so if you would like to test drive please have cash in hand.
Registration expired April of this year.
Pink slip in hand.”
Mark has this posted over at sellajeep. I do wish the brake handle and gauge edges hadn’t been painted.

This could still use some work, but looks pretty stock.
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep, CJ2A, 4WD. It has a full aluminum cab. It has front wheel locking hubs. I believe it to be all original, or repaired with parts designed for it. This Jeep is the original Utility Vehicle. It is a quarter ton truck, 4WD; a working machine that is ready to use. You can start driving it and using it the moment you get it.
This Jeep runs very well. It starts every time, even on bitter cold January mornings after sitting outside all night. Our routine is to start the Jeep about once every two weeks. It starts readily every time.
The engine was recently rebuilt. Since we seldom drive this Jeep, it has virtually no miles on the rebuild. This Jeep engine is the original Jeep engine. The gas tank has been sealed, the brakes completely reworked.”
I love the battery tie down cord. It does beg the question, why isn’t the battery where it is supposed to be?
“Up for auction is a very Rare Vintage Willys Jeep CJ-3b in Restorable condition, I am not sure of the year and do not know anything about its Pedigree except for the ohv 4 Cyl motor purrs like a kitten, have been told the higher hoods were not available until the early 50’s, so possibly 1955 because of the 5’s in the vin#. Has never been registered, although it does drive great with 4WD high and low range. The locking hubs on front axles are warn hubs and work great, floor pans will need replaced, tailgate has rust along the bottom like most have, front grill is nice, hood looks great, top is aluminum and is also good, frame rails look good, very restorable vintage Jeep, comes equipped with hydraulic snow plow with extended chassis in front for the plow or winch, New battery, runs great, will need restoration, just painted for local parade but will need restored. could also use master cyl rebuild.”
(04/13/2011) How about that unusual hard top? This might be a good price given some work was just done on it.
“For sale we have our 1966 Jeep Willys CJ5. We bought this last fall to plow our office parking lot but with all the snow we had this year we realize it is just too small for our needs. We did a bunch of work to it to get it yard worthy and it is a great little plow truck. It has a 4 cylinder F-Head 134 ci engine and a 3 speed manual transmission. It is four wheel drive with Warn locking hubs and high and low range. It has a 6 foot manual angle plow on it. We also have soft doors for it which are not shown in the pictures.
It has four brand new BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires (size LT215/75R15)
New Master Cylinder and front brake lines
New Battery
We had the radiator dipped, painted and soldered to repair a leak
We’ve already done the work to get this truck up and running as a plow truck so here’s your chance to make it easy on yourself. The odometer shows 18k miles. We were told by the guy we purchased it from that this was originally owned by a utility company in Vermont, so the mileage could be accurate, however we are assuming it has rolled over. Jeep is sold with a bill of sale only. We have no title. It will need to be trailered or towed away, it is not roadworthy.”
“1946 Jeep Willy military issue, $6000 obo. flathead 6 cyl., new front locking hubs, spare rear axle differencial, running good condition. Moving out of state, must sell contact for more info”
UPDATE: I initially had this as a front axle modification, which was clearly incorrect (the lack of a stearing knuckle should have been my first clue!)
Thanks to John for putting together the narrative and the images!
“Thought some other folks might find this interesting, especially those that have swapped to the D44 rear axle.
While trying to cobble some parts together to build a D44 front axle for my CJ6, I noticed that the GM D44 small bearing spindles that came with the flat top knuckle axles had the same number of stud holes as the offset D44 in the back of my CJ. Knowing that the 2 pc. axle shafts were a weak point, I had kicked around the idea of finding a 71′ offset flanged axle, and installing Herms FF Kit. I figured the flanged D44 would be a long shot, and I didn’t really like the tapered shafts in Herms kit, as you have to pull the spindle to get the shaft out. So,what to do? I ended up at R&P 4wdin Oregon City, and asked Richard and Paul what they thought about using the GM spindle to make a full float axle kit. At this point, Rich got a twinkle in his eye and asked me to follow him out into the shop. From some shelf, he pulled a half machined spindle out, and said, “like this?”. Perfect! This kit probably wont be for everyone, but was a homerun for me. It lets me run the same Ford 1/2 ton hub and rotor as the front(to keep things 5 on 5.5), the same internal splined locking hubs as the front, and GM calipers. Overall the FF kit added 2″ of width to my rear axle (same as the front), and I got an axle shaft that is full diameter(30 spline inner, 19 spline outer), and is removable without pulling the spindle. I ended up running a late 70’s Cadillac caliper (that uses the same GM backing plate as the front), and has a E-brake. And all for a little less than a grand. I hope somebody out there will find this as cool as I did.
