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 .
I was searching for more extended CJ-2As and came across Bennett’s CJ-2A Project pages. The Serial Number is 71781. It appears he’s owned the jeep for quite some time and over the last few years has been slowly working on it.
This has had a few changes.

“1947 willys jeep civillian with tailgate. body in really amazing condition. this jeep is mostly original and is not rusted or rotten. the body is amazing condition. the drive train is amazing as well. the engine was exchanged for a buick v6. the original trans is still in place as is the overdrive unit! yes even the overdrive is there. a willys in this condition is almost impossible to find. the windsheild is the two piece design that was all original. under the fuel tank is even in good condition. title is clean. this willys is not running right now and was being meticulously restored by a very anal guy for years. there are still many things to be done, but the condition of this willys overall is amazing. it has been garaged kept until recently and we hate to leave it outside due to its great condition. so it is up for sale to a good home only.”
Jim and I had a few email exchanges about the extended flatties. After a little searching, he came up with these pics of a 1942 GPW that someone expanded and that Jim owned for a short time. It appears the builder was going to extend the front, though that looks pretty scary!
More discussion on extended jeeps tomorrow or friday.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This sounds like a pretty stock CJ-3A in good condition.
“NEW: Engine Overhaul; Trans Bearings (gears look good); Divider Box Bearings; Warn Overdrive; Exhause System; Elec Wipers; Tiger Top with doors; 30x 9.50 R 15 LT Radial Load Range C Tires; Updated 44 rear ends; Springs.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $750
This has a nice rollcage, and HEI distributor, v6 headers, and possibly a one wire alternator with the V-6. This might be a decent deal, especially if you have another tranny around.
“1943 Jeep Willys. Engine works, tranny doesn’t. Locked up. Was planning on fixing, but after a year and a half, haven’t. Jeep’s located 20 mins. east of Julian. Call me at 619-722-7065 for more information and a time to go see Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
It looks to me more like a M-38 rather than an MB. However, I don’t see any passenger side cutouts.
“A 1942 Willys Jeep,Red in color,a three speed,new brakes,tow bar And its in Exellent shape.4 cyl engine”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Appears in good condition.

Here’s a beautiful truck for sale out of Ohio. More large pics on the craigslist ad.
“I am offering for sale this 1963 Willy’s Jeep PU truck, which I have owned since the early 80’s. Shortly after purchasing this truck I did a complete body off restoration. Every nut, bolt and mechanical part on the truck has been completely restored like new or replaced. The frame, all sheet metal components including the cab was sandblasted at the start of the restoration. All this including the mechanical work has been done in a professional manner. The engine has been completely rebuilt, the transmission refreshed and driveline joints replaced….”
