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 $3500.
This has a bed extender.
“This is a project vehicle I’m not able to finish. Civilian model, All parts included; Pickup bed, trailor hitch, 1/2 metal cab w/ doors, all glass. Asking $3,500 please call with any questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
It’s not the prettiest thing.
“Willys Jeep Model CJ-2A (Make Year 1948) 4X4 with 4-cylinder Jeep engine and covered top with doors. Runs good, has new battery, good tires, and gun rack. Excellent condition considering the age.”
This doesn’t appear to be an M-38-like body, as I don’t see cutouts on the driver’s side. This is unusual.
“I have a 1948 willys (vw powered) aka veep. I am looking to trade it for a 71′ or earlier vw bus, bug, or ghia. the veep has vw bug suspension good working brakes and good tranny. it does not have a motor in it at this time it takes a standard vw aircooled bug engine. It had a motor in it through the fall and winter i just took it out last month. thats how i know the about the tranny and brakes and all the electrical good too, also has a good top no tears. the seats need some upholstery work which i could fix if we make a deal. so if you got something you want to trade contact me. I have a clear title in hand”
UPDATE: Status unknown. The price had dropped to $2500. The seller included an overdrive with the cj3b.
The license plates suggest this jeep is from Colorado, though I don’t have any record of this being for sale recently. It looks pretty solid.
1965 CJ3B, all original with complete metal top and doors.74XXX miles. engine bad but have complete rebuilt engine included.minor rust for vintage.has warn overdrive…$2500 OBO….will take guns in trade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300
It appears this is either a M-38 body or a replacement body. For $300 it looks like it has a variety of parts, including an almost full cage.
“it’s got a great body on it, very straight. I don’t have the title for it, but it’s a great jeep for parts or whatever you wanna do with it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3995.
“1948 willys jeep like new rubber runs and drivers good. Jeep has P.T.O. and soft top plow not included but could be if you want it. I have another set of rubber I could put on the jeep for 400.00 less”
As mentioned yesterday, here’s a quick look at the 1943 GPW Darryl rebuilt. He did some beautiful work (both in building and documenting the build). He also built a trailer (pics below as well). He lists his objective below:
“To create for my personal use and enjoyment, a fully-functional, factory new appearing and extremely accurate “representative” WWII jeep using a new reproduction tub on an original, all “F-script” Ford wartime-production drivetrain, while containing costs and allowing minor deviations (a Solex carburetor) from the original configuration for ease of maintenance, reliability and safety and to be driving it within 12 months of starting the project.”

TRAILER BEFORE:
AFTER:
The body has been placed onto a ’75 CJ frame, which means something had to be stretched (or the frame chopped) to make the body parts fixed. It appears the builder stretched the body at the point where the body normally meets the fenders. Meanwhile, it appears the hood was lengthened somehow (I can’t tell quite how).
“1948 Willy’s on a 1975 Jeep frame. 360 AMC V-8, lot’s of new parts & Brand new Best top. Run’s strong. Fred 586-822-8468”
It looks like it has been in a barn. I can’t tell what the rust condition is.
“For sale or trade Barn find Parked in 1979 in a barn all orig w/new tires. Perfect for restoration”
UPDATE: Was $1200. **SOLD**
I used to live in Madison and remember driving through the small town of Belleville. Given the lack of titles and the non-running condition, I suspect the price may drop.
“1948 and 1949 Willys CJ2A From Louisiana. Both are GREAT projects, not running, no titles, VERY SOLID!!!!! Most parts are here $2,000 takes both!”
