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: I deleted the 2nd truck I had listed, as Bill correctly pointed out that it wasn’t a WC51 at all.
I’m helping someone value this WC52 WWII Dodge Truck. I’m pretty sure the WC52 runs (only just over 10,000 were made).
Here is a pic. If anyone can provide some feedback to me, just email me privately (d@ewillys.com).
WC-52:
Randy forwarded me an announcement that Bill Mauldin has been honored with a stamp, shown below.
According to the email Randy sent me, “Mauldin, and his work, meant much to the millions of Americans who fought in World War II, and to those who had waited for them to come home. He was a kid cartoonist for Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper; Mauldin’s drawings of his muddy, exhausted, whisker-stubbled infantrymen Willie and Joe were the voice of truth about what it was like on the front lines.”
Here is a pic of the stamp, followed by Mauldin in a jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750. It includes a top. Looks like a great price. Brett noted that the seller updated the listing because the overdrive was incorrectly listed as a PTO.
(11/14/09) “1946 Willy CJ-2A Jeep, Strong 289 V8, 3-Speed transmission with Overdrive, extra Transmission & Transfer case, Rancho Shocks, 32” x 11.5 x 15 w/ Chrome Rims, Full soft top with doors, Bimi top, Front bumber tow mount, Back seat, rear rack with two 5 gal. gas cans. Lots of extra parts and accessories. $2750.”
This might be a good restoration candidate.

Here’s a buyer for some CJ-5 fenderwell headers.
‘I am looking for some fenderwell headers for a small block chevy 283 that are made for an early CJ5 Willys Jeep. I am doing a conversion and need some soon. The exhaust needs to run outside the frame rail. I need some that fit CJ’s from 1953-1971, I’m not sure if the later years are the same or not. If you know whether the conversion headers from 1972-1986 Jeeps will fit the earlier models, please let me know. Let me know what you have via email.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
There’s some work needed here.
“1942 Jeep by Ford rare example of this ex-military 4 wheel drive vehicle. Needs total restoration, clear Texas title in hand, $850.”
This looks in good shape.
“Very original, runs good, fresh military style paint, new interior, new top. Good solid running jeep. Call Alex- (909) 292-7375”

The engine needs a head gasket replaced.
“Selling a nice project car to make way for another. It’s a rare 1951 Willys Jeepster that is reported to be one of the last off the assembly line. It has a 6 cylinder f-head 161 cubic inch engine in it that runs but needs work (head gasket). Also has an overdrive transmission for good fuel economy. Odometer shows 80K miles. Has radio and heater … The Jeepster is in overall good condition. I bought it a few years ago from a fellow in West Virginia with the intent to restore to original. Another car’s caught my eye so this has to go … The front floors have been patched, the rears are good as-is. The body has minor rust but is very workable. The frame and suspension are in great shape with just the average surface scale. All lights work.”
