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 .

(11/11/2012) This has stainless floors?
“Very straight and solid; lots of work done; has stainless floors; lots of nice custom work done; good tires; tow bar; has Scout running gear; California title. First $1,500 takes it.”
It’s a bit rough, but quite stock. I can’t tell how deep the rust is.
” OK, here it is again: Here is a 1953 Willys Jeep. The Jeep has been in my family for the last 60 or so years, and has been parked in our barn for probably the last 40. I had the Jeep running about 16 years ago and was able to drive it around. I kept it running for about a year, then lost interest in it and parked it back in the barn. When I did have it running, it ran pretty well and did not smoke. All of the gears worked as they should and the 4 wheel drive worked amazing. I never did get the brakes working. Unfortunately now the motor is locked up. I did try to free the motor up by pouring kerosine in the cylinders and trying to turn the motor over, but it did not work. When I got it running 16 years ago, the motor was locked up then and I had to take the head off and let it soak with oil. I cannot guarantee that it will work again, but that’s how I got it free. It has some rust and the passenger floorboard will probably need replaced and a couple of holes below the doors, but most of the body is solid. The tires do hold air for at least a couple of weeks, but they all have very slow leaks and are dry rotted. Anyone is welcome to come and inspect the jeep before bidding.”

“BARN YARD FIND! Been parked for 25 years. We did not receive to much information on the vehicle. It is a 1951 Willys Jeep with a clear title. 4×4 with lockout hubs. Jeep also has a heater, which from my research is an option. I had several people look at it for me and i was told it was a cj2 or cj3, i am not sure. The mileage shows 84,278 and i dont know if that is accurate. The jeep did come with keys. It takes a 6 volt battery, but does not have one.Left door and right door are complete with glass mainly just surface rust. Both doors open good with the latch. The hard top is made by Koenig iron works MODEL # 325. On the hard top by the back window there is rust with holes on the bottom below the window by the floor. The hood does have some rust holes. Oil looks good. Still has anti-freeze also.Everything under the hood does look complete. Frame looks good for its year. Windshield has surface rust around it. Drivers windshield has white stuuf on the bottom of it. Clutch and brake pedal feel like they are good. Body and floors very rusty. 5 denman N.D.T. tires (non directional tires), tires look good, spare tire has never been down, did not need to add air when we picked it up,”

Chuck wrote me yesterday to share his good looking 1951 CJ-3A. He bought it last summer off of eWillys, choosing a 1951 jeep because that was the year he was born. The body, home built by the previous owner, is made from 3/16th steel. Chuck is currently rebuilding a Koenig hard top for it.
Chuck, thanks for sharing the pics. I look forward to seeing the top when you finish it!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This may be a CJ-2A. Looks solid.
“Small block Chevy. Short ratio shift. Headers. 4 barrel carb. hydrolic clutch. 4 wheel drive New seats. This jeep is crazy fast and about half dangerous, will only sell to a mature adult. NO KIDS.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This has a couple interesting features. The first is the unusual body extender. The seller says this is a factor original extension (which differs from the Koenig aftermarket extension). I have not encountered a factory body extension. There is no evidence for one at the CJ-3B Page either. The small bars in place to act as supports underneath are different than I have see as well, though could have been replaced.
The second is the rare crankshaft driven PTO which along with the mechanicals for a rear PTO. The body looks pretty solid, per the seller’s description. There is some work to be done, but this might be worth a look.
“Here’s a real nice, basically rust free jeep. Only rust is surface rust that you can remove by running a rag over it. This jeep seems to be a nice find. Has ordered from factory winch & brackets, PTO unit, PTO lever & winch levers, as seen in picture, on floor passenger side, Also, governer & PTO unit for rear of jeep in good shape. Also comes with a factory rear body extension, very rare. Appears to have nothing missing, as pictures will show. Motor is not froze up and turns freely by hand. Carburator, intake manifold & lifter cover are off the engine, but all the bolts and parts are there. I do not know why these items were removed from jeep, due to death of the man that used to own this jeep. Due to there being two manifolds, I am guessing there might have been a miss due to an air leak or gasket leak, and possibly he bought new manifold to solve the problem, again I don’t know. As seen in the pictures, the hat channel under this jeep, is not all rusted out and body has never been removed. Again, very clean, very nice jeep. Call for more info or pictures.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900
(09/09/2012) Except the strange contraption on the front bumper this looks pretty stock. Of course, the paint scheme is odd.

The Chevy 265 is era correct. I’ve never heard it put quite that way before. This runs and drives and has a warn OD.
“Here we have a 1953 Willy’s Jeep that came from Tennessee so it is rock solid!! At some point years ago, somebody did a very professional looking installation of a 1956 Chevy 265 V8, which has all matching numbers including the 4 barrel carberator that still has the tag on it. This engine was installed so well that it looks like the jeep came from the factory with it. The engine itself runs absolutely excellent. It starts up immediately, idles beautiful, no smoke or noises whatsoever. I figure the engine itself is worth a little bit of money by itself to someone who may be looking to restore a ’56 Chevy.
I bought this Jeep only a few months ago beccause I fell in love with how solid it was and that it had the 265 in it that is era correct for the Jeep. The only 2 rust holes were where the original taillights mounted – all I did was grind it down and everglass it in. The Jeep had multiple colors on it and was half sanded down when I received it; So, I sanded down the rest of it and sprayed the Jeep with a Sherwin Williams Commercial Water Based Paint. This is not a quality paint job by any means. I just couldn’t stand looking at it in multiple colors anymore.
When I purchased it I only heard it run with gas down the carb. I have cleaned out the gas tank, rebuilt the carb and as stated earlier, it runs perfect. The engine will run at 160-180 degrees all day long. The Jeep has Warn lock out hubs and a Warn overdrive unit. Everything on this Jeep is stiff from sitting many years. I have driven it around the yard – the brakes work good, 1st and reverse and hi low range are easily shifted. Everything else needs to be freed up to work properly. I have only done as much as I have had time for to get it ready for winter storage. – incl new antifreeze.
It has a full canvas top as pictured; However, while trying to put it on in 40 degree weather, I was not able to get all the snaps to snap. So, I don’t know if it needs to be done in warm weather to stretch or if it is just shrunk. The clutch works excellent. Glass is all good. Back tires are very nice. Front tires are dry rotted. It does come with a spare as well as a 5 gallon jerry can and a tote full of extra parts. Floors are great – no rust at all. If you look closely at the photos you will see that the drivers side muffler is good and the passenger side is completely shot. The rest of the pipe going up to the exhaust manifold is good.
It has a clear Ohio Title that matches the vin plate on the body. It does come with extra paint.
This is a PROJECT VEHICLE.
I do like this vehicle alot which is why I bought it; However, it will have to sit outside tarped off this winter which I really hate to do so I have decided to sell it. If it does not sell, I will tarp it off & it will be its first time outside in snow in at least 30 years that I know of.
