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 .
It’s a later model 3B tub.
“CJ-3B body tub and top $650. The tub has some rust and would require some patch panels. The top is pretty rough, but might be salvageable.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800. Sears hardtop.
Needs some work.
“Selling my 1947 Jeep Cj 2A, 4 cyl. L head motor. I have owned this Jeep for a long time but I lately I just don’t have the time to fix it up and use it. The engine smokes oil but it runs and drives nice, the frame is solid but it needs brakes and an exhaust.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(06/04/2017) There seems to be some parts value here. It has a Studebaker-type overdrive.
“I have a 1957 Willys CJ6 with hard top,
It doesn’t look pretty, but it is basically complete and it does run and drive (with a little help).
It is no where near road worthy, but it shows it’s all there.
There is rust, but it is restorable.
It is a CJ6 (just like CJ5, but 20” longer in the middle).
It has a small block Chevy v8 but I do not know what size it is, never looked. It has a T90 3speed transmission, a Dana 18 transfer case with a factory overdrive attached to the rear. It is NOT the warn overdrive, it is a Studebaker overdrive with cable engagement and lock out solenoids.
The engine runs, very smooth and very quiet. it can and will drive up onto a trailer on its own power. Brakes really don’t work though.
Stock front and rear differentials, D25 front and D44 rear.
60/40 front seats, no rear seat.
4 old dry rotted stock type tires that will hold air long enough to move it around.
It has a Koenig full length hard top with some rust here and there, but again it is easily restorable. The rear hatch is missing.
The top is off and disassembled in the back. All pieces that you see in the pics are there.

This DJ-3A Convertible is #30 (SN #10030). It looks like they opted for a hardtop rather than a soft top. It’s been sitting in a barn for many years, but looks pretty stock. The jeep has a Sears Aluminum Deluxe top, so hopefully the floors are in good shape. You’ll see on the engine an original dry-type air filter. The engine compartment also has a washer bag, suggesting this has a windshield sprayer; I wonder if it was foot powered? t only has a single vacuum wiper (the passenger side is a hand wiper). It may make a great restoration project. The seller listed it on Facebook here:
The floors have been replaced.

“1948 Jeep CJ2A
This is a one of a kind WWII jeep! It’s most likely the only one like it in this area as most of them aren’t fully enclosed. If you want something that’s impossible to drive without smiling, this is for you. I believe its original purpose was for communications equipment during WWII based on a little research I’ve done.
Everything works like new! Ok, that’s a lie, but it does drive down the road. It has working 4 wheel drive and hi/low range that functions correctly. The tires are brand new and have great grip in the mud and woods. It’s almost comical how well it rolls over logs and anything you put in front of it including small trees.
Not sure how much value is here.
“Need work rat rod or restore call or text for info”

This appears to come with a Warn OD, which the seller seems to mistake for a PTO. I can’t identify the hubs, but they might be a set of Cutlass Bulldogs. The rear of the hardtop looks similar to a Porter & Reed top, but the rest doesn’t quite fit it.
“1953 Willys 1/4 ton Jeep C3Jb with V8 265 engine. Needs windshield. Engine will run. has transmission with PTO. Does not have pto shaft. Rare Jeep. Does not have title.”
https://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/cto/6156627858.html
Could be some value here. Might have some early Husky hubs.
“I have a 1946 willy’s jeep for sale . It has no motor . Transmission is there and running gear . Frame is in good shape . The drivers side floor has been cut out and needs repaired . I have to many other projects and no time for this one .”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4295.
(07/14/2014) “1954 M170 Army Ambulance Jeep
-Strong Original 4 Cylinder
-Very little rust
-Starts, runs and shifts
-Fun project with little effort“

If you can fix the damage, it’s a good price.
“This is a all aluminum hard top that doesn’t fit my car. So off it goes to you if you have a need for it. Pickup only. I will not ship this.”
