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: Was $7500. Status Unknown.

“Beautifully restored 1948 CJ3A Willys Jeep. This Jeep has been restored to near original condition including rebuilt L 134 flathead engine, upgraded wiring, paint, and undercoating. It is spotless throughout and runs and drives nicely. It has been garaged since its restoration three years ago. If you are looking for a classic, ready to drive (needs a top), totally restored Jeep, this one is worth your attention. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
Looks good. This was listed for $3000 in January, so I’m wondering if it was bought and is now being resold.
“Nice sound ride, clean body. Strong 327 V8, power steering, tow bar, newer Rancho suspension kit, 31/10.50×15 tires. READY 2 PLAY.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
This looks like a good price. Seller must sell this weekend.
“1953 Willys jeep Call for info first 1800 takes it home must sell this weekend.”
UPDATE: Was $15750 **Status Unknown**
(04/29/2010) I’m a little surprised the seller doesn’t mention this is a Slat Grille. This doesn’t have the in-dash jockey box.
“The vehicle has been restored. It is very nice, runs great. Registration and Safety just renewed. It has too many improvements to list. Located on Maui in Lahaina. I am willing to take serious offers.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(03/08/2010) This sports an unusual paint stripe.
“This is a 1942 Ford GPW that is in good running condition. The body has a minimal amount of rust and is in very good shape. If you have any questions please email me at cofc2004@gmail.com”

(11/18/09) The Vin number would make this produced in 1948. This looks like a nice rebuilt.
“ I am selling my CJ2A. This has been recently restored. Body was removed and repainted. Color is maroon. Black undercoat on the body to help prevent rust. Restoration did not include mechanical. Vehicle had a partial 12V conversion when I got it. It now has all new wiring. All lights work. Added turn signals and brake lights. Horn works. Starter is 12V. It uses a borg warner 6V coil; but could easily be changed to 12V coil. Jeep would be street legal if you add the windshield; the seals for the windshield are included in sale. It didn’t need the motor or drivetrain rebuilt. Although I did paint the engine and rebuild the carburator. New gauges except for speedo.”
UPDATE: A reader purchased this and reports about the purchase in the comments.
” 1948 Willys Jeep. Runs Great – looks great – Selling because I need to make room in our garage and I’m not using it. The only thing that needs some attention is to track
down what’s draining the battery and passenger side windsheild wiper.”
(10/26/09) I’m guessing it’s a CJ-3A, however the body appears to have a solid back, so it might be a DJ-3A body? The seller has included a long description.
“This is a 1940 or early 50’s Jeep Willys. I’m not sure because this jeep is registered as a 1967 due to the year of the motor. The motor is a Chevy 283 V8 from a 67’ Chevelle. This Jeep is full of goodies and will always be smog exempt ”
Here’s a fine looking CJ-5.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3995
(05/18/2010) This looks great. It appears to sport a replacement body. Not a bad price.
“1948 Willys CJ2A runs drives and stops. New brakes and lines 5 years ago; aftermarket steel tub, hood and tailgate, no rust on the body, original windshield. I do not know the mileage but have a clear Wisconsin title for it. I think it is an MB frame. I have used it as a toy on my farmette near Monroe, Wi. It starts up every spring but I just use it to drive locally. The tires are new, non directional with less than 100 miles on them. The pics were taken before the new tires. I bought it from a guy in northern Wi who painted it with a brush but it looks pretty good anyway. I have a new steering wheel and correct passenger seat frame for it, just not installed. Don’t need to sell but also don’t need the toy”
UPDATE: Was $15,000. **SOLD**
A reader named John is selling this nicely restored MB.
“1945 Willys 1/4T reconnaissance truck, JEEP, delivered to the military 3-7-45 and recently completed a tub-off restoration. All restoration work correct to original specs with primarilly original NOS parts and professional rebuilds of the motor, drivetrain, axles, diffs, tranny and TC. Era correct top quality canvas and rubber throughout and every detail of the restoration process was documented in scores of digital pics. Over $14000 in parts and services alone with receipts available. This Willys is a classic example of a combat jeep in the ETO circa. early ’45. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Dave spotted this wagon. It looks like a pretty good updated build. My question is, why not move the wagon so you don’t have a chain link fence covering half the pic?
