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 .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.

“1949 Willys Jeep, 4 cylinder, 3 spd, new bodytub, new tires and wheels”
UPDATE: Still Available. I didn’t realize how unusual the dash was on this one.
“51 Willys with 3.8 Liter Buick odd fire V-6, saginaw manual steering gear, 2″ lift Rancho springs, Confer shackles, back seat, Best Top bucket seats, Tow Bar, dual exhaust. This is a project that needs finished. It has sat for 10 years. motor started but carb has stuck float and leaks, pressure plate is stuck to flywheel. Wiring needs work.

(08/30/2013) Looks like the dash has a couple of former speaker holes.
“I have a Willy’s jeep titled as a 1961. This is a very solid body with minimal rust. Previous owner bed lined the inside of the tub. The floors are solid as well as the other body parts. I have the hood both front fenders tub and windshield frame with un cracked window, it also has a newer gas tank. I do not have the running gear or frame anymore just the complete body. I also have other little parts that can go with it. I would have liked to build this jeep but I have way to many car and truck projects that I would like to get done. This jeep has a CLEAN COLORADO TITLE. The last two pictures are what the jeep looked like complete. When I got the jeep it had a v8 and all of the running gear was trashed so my plan was to put that body on a newer jeep frame etc..”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1600.
(07/30/2013) I think it’s back to the drawing board on this project. The rollcage looks like a CJ-3B or CJ-5 based on the front loop’s upper bends.
“1952 CJ Jeep on 1990 Toyota 4-runner running gear. V-6, 5 speed, 4×4 Toyota. All Toyota running gear (engine, transmission, 4×4 unit) has extremely low miles. Alot of the work has been done, still some to do. Call Mike at (208) 689-3252.”

(10/10/2013) This is made up to look like a M-38.
“This is my parade vehicle I used all summer to drive veterans in town parades its a civilian jeep painted to represent a M38 military jeep. I restored this jeep from the frame up the tub was taken to the sandblaster as well as the hood and front fenders the frame was wire wheeled as it was already real clean and primed with POR15 and painted with gillespie WWII olive drab paint. This jeep has five new tires, repro brass data plates, remanned carb, new steering wheel, new master cylinder, new gauges and speedometer, fresh oil and filter, fresh GL1 in the trans and transfer case, new tail lights, turn signals, rear mounted gas tank (no sitting over the gas tank) rebuilt steering links, new alternator conversion, electric fuel pump, 6 volt system converted to 12 volt, new paint, new distributor with electronic ignition, I have all the pics from when I bought it until it was finished I took out the uncomfortable junkyard seats that were in it when I bought it and replaced them with a set of military humvee seats. The jeep runs like a top drives great no popping out of gear but it does have a intermittent high pitched whine at higher speeds I believe it might be in the transfer case but it has never given me a problem I have a spare transfer case to go with the jeep the new military speedometer was put in but needs a new speedo cable to function all gauges work but the fuel gauge the fuel tank was boiled out and checked for leaks the sending unit is good the gauge needs to be replaced with one with a lower ohm value to work with the existing sending unit.”
In 2009 I hauled up a flatfender body from a seller in Boise (where I was living) to Paul in La Conner, Wa. Since that time, he’s been busy rebuilding it. It sure looks good!
Paul writes, “What you see is a conglomeration of what you brought up here several years ago and a couple of “farm/orchard” jeep’s from Wenatchee plus new parts from major suppliers. it looks good, runs good and is “cute”. I have a roll bar I am going to re-configure (single hoop with stiffeners) that I will install for safety reasons and ad 3 point safety belts, no rear seat so no rear belts. It has 15 inch wheels and radial street tires on it now but a friend of mine found five really nice 16 inch wheels at the Monroe swap meet a couple of weeks ago so sometime soon we will add those with new era correct tires to the “look”
Here are the parts I loaded onto the back of a truck in 2009:
And here is how it looks now:
It runs, but hasn’t been driven in a while.
“Old Willy’s Jeep, Engine runs very good. Hasn’t been driven for about 3 years. Drive train in good condition. Body needs work”
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/csw/clt/4143167296.html

This doesn’t run and the rear portion of the body isn’t original (or has been modified).
“Vintage 1949 Jeep Willys CJ3A; 2 door, hard top coupe; 6 volt, 4 cylinder engine, dual transmission.
Selling for $2500 OBO.
Bought this Jeep intending to fix it up, but never found the time. Everything on it is all original. The hard top feature is quite unique for Jeep Willys. The engine did run on last start up, but has not been maintained or started for several years- it does not currently run, but should start again with a small amount of work.
This would be a great restoration project for someone to take on, but it will require some time. Feel free to stop by and take a look. It is located about 6 miles northwest of Wausau, WI.
As it does not currently run, the buyer will need to make arrangements to haul or tow it.
Call 715-675-7576 for inquiries or to view. Do not respond via email.”

“1952 Willy’s jeep.
302 four barrel
power steering
32 inch tires
good shape
runs well
No scams. Serious inquiries only”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
I’m wondering if this is actually a CJ-3A.
“Better than a four wheeler, cheaper that a side by side. Needs a windshield and a battery. Comes with a new soft top. Great for hunting season or beer runs. It was my grandpas but I need the money. Pretty original, no real rust to speak of. Make an offer.”
