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: **SOLD** Was $14000.

It’s not running. Nice tires and rims if you need some like this.
“41 Willys Flat Fender Jeep, not running but probably could, I was going to small block it. “
UPDATE: Pictures have been provided. It looks like the body is a replacement body. The outside looks great.
This is a bit much for a non-runner.
“This ol’ Jeep is a rare one. I bought it from a collector in Salem Oregon. It was recently brought to Portland. The rear pto is a great conversation peice and was opporational when the motor was in the Jeep. This Jeep has a clear title and would make a great next project. The 283 Chev motor is removed and in need of a rebuild and the seat frames and cushions need to be replaced. I’ve listed details that are included below…..”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It doesn’t look too bad in the pics, but the seller suggests it is ready for a complete restoration.
“This is a 1944 Ford GPW WWII Jeep, serial #232700, with matching Ford engine numbers; there are many Ford script parts on this Jeep . It appears to be all original and is in need of a complete restoration. Jeep was painted several years ago by previous owner and bondo and sheetmetal work was done sub standard. Bondo is chipping from metal and needs to be blasted off – also all floors have been patched and cut on and a civilian gas can was installed at one time and has now been removed. Jeep rolls freely, shifts in all gears and ranges freely. ”
UPDATE: Dan reports that he purchased this CJ-3B (was selling for $1100). Two weeks later it is running. Sounds like he got a good deal.
“I WANT TO BE VERY SPECIFIC ON THIS JEEP, ITS NOT ONE YOU CAN JUMP IN AND DRIVE AWAY IN, I BOUGHT IT WITH THE INTENTION OF RESTORING IT, THIS JEEP HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT 3/20/05 FOR A PRICE OF $982, AND HAS NOT BEEN RUN SINCE THEN, IT NEEDS A DISTRIBUTOR TO GET GOING, I HAVE THE RECIEPT FOR THIS REBUILD, IT WAS DONE IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE JEEP WAS TOWED HERE AFTER THAT WHEN THE OWNER MOVED TO KNOXVILLE …”
Brian had an unsavable passenger side fender, so he found a 2A fender that met his needs and shows us what he did to fix it. Thanks Brian!
Brian writes, ” The red fender, the original driver’s side 3b fender, was just more than I wanted to tackle. The yellow 2A fender had a useable top, but an inner wall that was gone. Since I planned to removed the battery box portion of the fender anyway, the 2A fender fit my needs perfectly.”
“After I cut away the bad metal, I used a spot weld removal bit (here’s an example bit) to separate the pieces. (See the Early Cj2a page) I used the removal bit with my hand drill when I was working on the tub, but this time I used the drill press — much easier. One tip I learned was to look for a puff of rusty dust coming off the work piece, which indicates you through the first layer of material.”
I ran across the Jeep Republic website after seeing an ad for it on the Denver Craigslist. I’ve never been there myself nor know anything about it. Phone numbers include: 303-806-9100 or 800-827-2418. The physical address is 3350 S. Federal Blvd. Englewood, CO 80110. You can contact them via the web here.
This is the third Jeep Salvage Yard I’ve found. The other two are J&W, which is in Antelope, California, and the Kingston, New York Salvage Yard, which I haven’t found a website for yet.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This auction is for a true barn find 1950 Willys CJ3A civilian Jeep with only 15,500 original miles. It is very original including the factory headlights with a July 26, 1950 date stamp. Only one works but I left them in for originality. All other component date codes correspond to date of manufacture. The Jeep began life on an Ohio farm and was used to run errands and transport items to town. At some point, ownership of the Jeep was passed on to the new owner of the farm. Eventually the Jeep was was removed from service and parked in the barn. The third owner inherited the Jeep in 2001 as his father in-law was aging and retiring from the Ohio farm….”
