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: Still Available

It’s got a funky rear bumper, but looks nice.
“Here is very desirable and nicely restored 1962 Willy’s CJ-3 pickup. This Willy’s has the flathead 226ci inline 6 cylinder engine with a Borg-Warner 3 speed manual transmission attached. The Willy’s is a 4 wheel drive vehicle with optional low and high gear. It has been restored in a two-tone white and light green with black steel bumpers and gray interior. The interior consists of a full benchseat with original AM radio in the dash and shows only 75,232 original miles. It sits on 16� steel rims with light truck tires. The Willy’s is a New Mexico truck originally and has no rust on it. The Willy’s starts right up and can return to working on the farm again or be driven on the streets to any local hangout while turning heads everywhere you go.

UPDATE: Was $9500. **Status Unknown**
This has a Buick V6 in it.
“This is an original World War II Ford GPW (Willy’s MB) Jeep. The ford serial number is 94524 and was delivered to the U.S. Government on 1-21-43 (January 21st, 1943). The Army issue number is 20202246. It has been generally restored top to bottom, runs perfectly, and is mostly comprised of original parts. It has clear current title, starts with ease, runs beautifully and is simply a pleasure to both own and drive.
I originally discovered the Jeep in New Mexico several years ago. The tub and majority of the parts had little to no rust when I had the jeep sand blasted. Of particular note is that both the original WWII frame and original WWII data plate have the matching serial numbers 94524 (the frame stamp is faded but can still be read). Additionally, the tub (body) is genuine WWII manufactured by Ford with various “F” stamps throughout the body which add to its uniqueness.
Here is a rundown of his work I had done- It has a new battery, new gauges, brakes totally taken apart cleaned, inspected and rebuilt, brake lines, fuel lines, oil lines and wiring harness were all replaced with the best available in the last several years. Most of the Jeep was dismantled, stripped, repaired where needed, repainted and re-assembled. I did not remove the motor or transmission. The tires are vintage reproduction and correct to period. I added saftey belts and turn signals for safety.
The engine is a post war 70’s engine which I actually prefer as these engines are far more reliable and easier to maintain. I purposely did not replace the engine with a reproduction for I wanted to travel more than 45 MPH. The originals only traveled that fast and were shaking apart at that. I can easily merge with traffic and travel on the highway at 60-70 MPH with no problems.
Additional accessories include-
-U.S. WWII full Size Infantry Axe
-Original U.S. WWII dated gasoline can
-Garand/Thompson rifle rack on inside of windshield.
-New old Stock Side straps
There may be other WWII Jeeps on the market but very few that run as well and have as many authentic vintage parts. The Jeep was in service until 1957 where it was sold at auction. The Jeep has some changes to it as made at the TMP since it served during the Korean War era as well. I have the advertisement where it was sold in Texas. If you ever wanted a WW2 Jeep this is the one!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6495
(09/03/2013) Looks like a good parade jeep.
“This is a 1949 CJ3A. It has a MB grill and windshield. Was purchased as a hobby for my boys and they have no interest. Gotta get it out of my garage. New wiring harness, gauges. Everything works fine. No emergency brake. Only serious inquiries need respond. Great jeep for the ranch or deer lease or just for having FUN.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.

This looks solid. It is listed as a ’46, but with the spare tire on the driver’s side, it may be a “lefty”. This also has the wrong grille for a ’46.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6999
(10/06/2013) This looks nice. I wonder if this was originally a lefty? If so it’s a ’48.
“For sale is a 1947 Willys CJ-2A. It was completely restored about 8 years ago. Complete frame up restoration including an engine rebuild. Nearly everything is original. Body had floors replaced and frame had some reinforcing. The whole jeep is painted in POR15 products–the body is painted in their 2 part epoxy. Electrical was converted to 12 volt.
