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: Price dropped to $300
(12/01/09) Lots of work needed on this project.
“I bought this Jeep with the intention of restoring it, but due to the economy and the possibility of no longer having a job I need to sell it. I am asking for $300. At this point it is in pieces.”

There’s a variety of parts and projects here with prices that vary.
“1st jeep has the most potential and while the picture does not show it, it has a grille and other parts that can be put together to make a good one. It has rear diamond plate for the corners and diamond plate for the sides. It does have a windshield that needs put together. No seats or titles on any of them. It has saginaw front end which is optional I will keep it if you want to dicker. If you plan to install a bigger engine I will keep the engine and transmission and transfer case too. Engine is a L head than turns over by hand but someone got the carb and starter. It has a roll bar of sorts. Price depends on if you want the saginaw and engine. $300 with out all that. $650 with all that.
2nd jeep is a basket case and frames front has cracked totally off. But it has a round cross bar that can be used on the first jeep that some idiot cut off the original and put L iron to fit the saginaw on it. Or you can weld it back together and start a rebuild of a second jeep. it has axles but no power plant or transmission or transfer case. $150 for it.
The third is just a body and hood. It was a rare long body that someone cut down to a CJ3A size. Welds need to be finished on that part. Body could be used on one of the other two if you wanted. Might have another windshield in need of repair for it too. $200 for it.
As I said no titles but they can be gotten. I believe data tags are on one at least. I have extrea transfer cases that may need rebuild for $100. And some other extra parts for those that buy all three of them. Including axles. Have other small parts that I will make deal on if you buy all. I just need parts to finish my 2A. Might consider trading for things I need for the 2A like seats or guns or other old interesting item. Especially jeep PTO’s for the front and back or an overdrive. Or Jeepster parts from 48 and 49. I am keeping the roll cage for the 3A for now. But with the right offer will sell it too. It is one that is done well with sides that fit the contour of the CJ2 and 3A frame. $450. These are projects as you can see. And as I said I have hundreds of various small parts too for sale. And for the right trade or take all I will think about a better deal. Also have a F head that needs gone through. It used to turn over by hand but now doesn’t. has a regular oil filter system on it for spinning oil filters and upgraded carb. Long story. $250. Had it in a flat fender and it ran then.

This looks in good shape, though the seller’s camera appears to have a smudge right in the center of the lense.

No pics, but this is a strong running truck (according to the owner).
“1958 willys truck with title, 6 cylinder engine 3 speed transmission, engine was rebuilt some time ago, 4×4 works good use it this year at Mt. Taylor last year for me hunting getting to old , pretty much all original body need a little work, dark green paint is ok, brakes work good , just had the heater core replaced so it does have a good heater for the winter, bought tires brand new a year ago, will drive at 55mph all day long even the light work I change it over to 12 volt system, the old 6 volt was just to weak, need to sell, $900.00 or best offer. sorry no pictures at this time email for an appointment .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300
Check out the front of this frame. There’s been some strange changes to it.
“48 cj2a frame is broken in the front. the motor turns over, has complete drivetrain,tranny and transfercase. Has four orignal rims. good axles and springs.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
It’s an unusual color scheme. It looks in solid shape and will likely make a great restoration.
“
1946 Willys Jeep, all original. This Jeep has been in storage for many years and not started. It has also been owned by the same family for over 40 years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
“Great project vehicle, cool looking (reminds me of MASH) 1952 Willys 4×4 Station Wagon. Has adapter and mounts for SBC. Minimal rust for a ’52 model. Sold AS IS on a Bill of Sale. First $1000 or will trade for Ford powered vehicle: need work truck, Mustang, Fairlane, car trailer, mig welder, etc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3250
This appears to be in very original shape.
“1963 WILLYS CJ3B, VERY GOOD CONDITION, CLEAR TEXAS TITLE, RUNNING AND 90%+ ORIGINAL, STORED IN BARN SINCE 1974, $3,200.00, DALLAS/FORT WORTH”
While trolling for some M-38 information I discovered this build. The owner is slowly attempting to return this to original condition of some sort. As you can see, in the first pic below, an early step was to tone down the paint color.
Learn what the owner has been doing to this jeep.
