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.
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 .
Bill shared this article about a vintage jeep collector in Georgia from last April. The author overuses the “GP” term a little bit too much for my tastes, but the general message is that owner Dane Schoff is having a good time with his jeeps!

“This is a vintage FC170 Jeep promotional ashtray. Jeep is in a fixed position. Chrome is in good condition with minor wear. A few blemishes on the underside. See photos.”
Bill shared this stock CJ-5 with original paint. It’s hard to believe it’s got 75k miles.

“Selling a 1973 Jeep CJ-5, very original including paint, excellent body and frame, Jeep is from Alabama, smooth running 232 inline 6, 3-speed, 4 wheel drive, manual lock-outs, gun rack, runs and drives great, 75,440 miles, clean and clear title in my name in hand.”
UPDATE: This was for sale in Fresno. It is now for sale in Sisters, Oregon. I suspect the seller is a new owner and is now reselling it, given the limited description. Note that the plates in the pics from the 2023 ad and present ad are the same.

“Killer old 51 Willys custom. 327 w/turbo 400 auto trans. Runs great.”
==========================
(Previous comments, description and pics from 10/2023): This is a classic Fresno-area build with the oversize glass in the windshield, the doors, and more. It may include a soft top. I see no evidence it includes a Muller top.

SBC 350, Turbo 400, Spicer 18 transfer case, Warn overdrive 25%,
Dana 30 front, fresh Dana 44 rear

You don’t see many like this one for sale. Odometer just rolled over last week, perfect starting point for the new owner”
The price works out to be about $18,400 USD. Bill shared this nice looking Canadian M-38A1. I’m not sure what it would cost to import into the US.

UPDATE: Patty Upton plans to sell this jeep in the not-so-distant future, according to this earlycj5 thread: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/160468/ (thanks Maury!)
================
Originally posted August 14, 2019: Daniel Strohl reported on Hemmings that the CJ-5 used to circumvent the earth will spend a year at the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame. You might remember that the Upton’s made it around the world in 1984, well all but a small, but a difficult mile of their trek in the Middle East proved impossible to complete. For two decades they held onto the jeep, then they eventually fixed it back up and drove the last mile in the Middle East in 2017.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000.
(03/05/2024) The seller is correct; this is a classic PNW build, with the Desert Dogs, a V6, the diamond plate corners, the diamond plate side pieces, the Bobcat Hood, along with other updates.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/459634346632408
“The time has come for me to sell my 1946 CJ2(ish) little beast. It’s sporting a Buick 198 fireball, t90, bobcat hood, Cadillac telescopic column, rather beat up 64 corvette seats, full set of Desert Dogs, ect ect. The top is pretty beat up but keeps the weather out about as well as you could hope. All and all a great example of a classic PNW jeep. It runs and drives but could certainly use a tune up as I’ve not been driving it much at all (hence the sale) Mainly looking for cash but could be open to trades for a newer jeep that would be more daily driver friendly”
This looks to be a custom build with a replacement body (2A ignition holes + military dash jockey box). This also has a Bobcat hood.

Only a couple days left in this auction with no bidders. Bill shared this CJ-5 with an unusual hardtop. It also appears to have the Hudson Steering mod. The mileage is only 40,138 miles, but the co-part auction listed that as 401,389 miles. The front fenders have been extended as if the frame is a 1972 or later frame. I think the estimate $8500 value is way out of line, but there seems to be some parts value at the very least.
https://www.copart.com/lot/70653824/clean-title-1957-willy-jeep-ca-san-diego
Has a steering update at the very least.

“Was bought as the body, but my grandfather spent a couple of years working on it. He is no longer able to get in and out of it. It has a 4.3 GMV6 engine, new leaf springs, new differential, new tires, power steering, tilt steering wheel, hubs, bucket seats, new tie rods, new shocks, and an aftermarket 14 gallon gas tank.

“I think the photos explain it all ,the engine does run. Please come take a look if you’re interested. I will probably not answer any questions unless you come look at it.”
This no longer has a top, but it appears to run (video in the ad). Seems there may be value here.

“1943 Willy’s. Set up for sand drags. Chevy 383 stroker.Comes with paddle tires. Make serious offer.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.
Seller wants gone. I could use a few of the parts: front bumper, the part of the dash that goes under the dash and around the steering wheel, horn if there, the heater (if any good), the door opening mechanism .. would anyone want the rest of this? If I go get it I don’t want to keep it around for too long.
FYI: I tried posting this to the FC Facebook group, but I was slapped with a 6 DAY restriction because I tried to add this link to a FC Facebook post. Grrrrrrrr.
