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 .

This appears solid.
“Best Cash Offer!
Invested well over $10K in the last 12 months, not including the price of the jeep.
It’s a 53 titled as a 56. We had a 56 body tub shipped from Indiana before the build.
Lots of new parts to include motor, gaskets, fuel tank and lines, fuel pump coil, dash, gauges, wiring harness, oil lines, condenser, tires, wheel bearings, steering assembly and a bunch more.
Everything works great, a little hesitation from the carb when cold, but other than that, vehicle runs great. Minor TLC just like any other older vehicle. Drove it every day last summer, just sits in storage now. I would be willing to entertain trades, looking for a 78-79 Ford Bronco XLT Ranger, must be mint. Have cash to put towards any trade. Please include a phone number in your reply as I need to be able to filter the spam.”

“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep
So hear is a rare piece of American history
ready to be restored
Engine cranks and runs like a sewing machine”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
This might be worth a look.
“1947 Willys CJ2A, engine rebuilt less than 1,000 miles, brakes rebuilt, 4WD, weekly driver, no top, roll bar, tow bar, front wheel locking hubs. Could use new springs. Must see and drive to appreciate.”
UPDATE: This appears to have sold. Was listed at $4100.
There’s been plenty of work done, but still some left.
“I bought this 1948 Cj2A Jeep Willys from a guy in Genoa IL in 2001 when I got out of the Army. I bought it because I wanted a flat fender jeep and specifically, one that had not been modified. I had a 1969 Cj5 and a 1993 Wrangler and when people have done their own modifications they are a real challenge to work on afterwards. This one was old, but it looked original, minus the inside windshield frame which they had replaced with a piece of Plexiglas screwed into the outer windshield. It ran when I bought it but needed breaks. My intentions were to update the breaks and then enjoy driving it around. Once I started, it just got out of control and the next thing I know I had the body off and the engine out. Since then I have worked on it a few summers when I had time and it sat for the rest of the time when I was called back to active duty in the Army. Two trips to Afghanistan, college, and a family later, and I don’t have the time I thought I would. In the end it has evolved into a nice looking Jeep. That same summer I got a 1955 Cj5 for a few parts but ended up only using the front bumper. (more on Craigslist).”
UPDATE: This was on eBay. Status Unknown
“Sweet 1961 Willys FC 150. This pickup was restored several years ago and is still in really good shape. It has the 4 cylinder motor and is four wheel drive. The engine and drive line work great. Pretty reliable old truck, and also very rare. You just don’t see these forward control pickups in as rust free condition as this one is. As you can see from the pictures, the undercarriage is in great shape and the body is quite nice with very few blemishes and scratches. Glass is in good shape. Interior is very clean and nice, with recovered seats and a new headliner. The only glitch is that the seal in the transfer case has a slow leak. It’s nothing terribly serious, but it will leave an oil spot on the floor over time. This, of course, is not unusual in these older Jeeps. The truck is located in Denver, CO near I-70.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
This is a nice looking 3B + Trailer.
“1954 Willys CJ3B Jeep with 1/4 ton army trailer. Total frame off rebuild in 2005 including new body. All mechanical parts rebuilt or replaced including engine overhaul, re cored radiator, new gears in transmission and transfer case as needed, and both differentials inspected.
Upgrades include 12V alternator electrical system, Auto Meter all electric gauges, 11″ brakes with braided stainless lines, sprayed bed liner inside and under the body, and an 8000 lb PTO front mounted winch.
I’m disabled and unable to use it, so it’s been sitting in the shed for a few years and will need some clean up. I will answer all questions.”
UPDATE: Back on eBay
(03/05/2013) This seller is buying this along with another car and doesn’t need it. This includes a rear PTO, Drum, and Saw.
“This is a nice car, it looks great!!
The car has had a lot of work done, and it runs well. It was owned by a mechanic who was able to give it TLC. The tires are new. This is not a rust bucket. I took some a pictures up close of a surface rusted area which is minor on RH side.
The car is with a Cadillac and I have to buy the pair, I am a Caddy guy and want to move this one.
301 672 1000. Can store car for 60 days.Car will drive anywhere no problem.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
This jeep has a CJ-5 grafted onto CJ-3B cowl. So, it isn’t mostly stock.
“I have a 53 cj3b for sale. It does run, but needs a tune-up. Original motor, jeep is mostly stock. This is a project jeep, it has some rust and dings”
