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 .

(09/06/2010) In many respects this looks good, but there were a couple issues that caught my eye. The rear bumper is strangely bent downwards and in the front, a cross piece has been welded on top of the frame and the driver’s side frame rail has been welded and drilled. So, I’d check this frame out closely as it has some miles on it.
“Here is a 1952 Willys Jeep CJ3A painted in military era green with the original flathead 4 cylinder. This vehicle has been mechanically restored and rebuilt. It runs very well, shifts great, and starts on the first try ever single time. Restoration includes:
Engine:
-Rebuilt Original Willys Overland flathead 4 cylinder engine
-New Wires, Plugs, Cap..etc
-New Starter
-New Alternator
-New Fuel Pump, Filter, Hoses
-New Regulator
-New Carburetor
-New Exhaust Manifold
-New Battery
This has the passenger side tool indents, but not battery box lid nor a tail gate. I’m going to guess this is a replacement tub.
“I Have a willys jeep tub its in okay shape will need some work buts its worth what im asking for it. 200 OBO Will throw in the hood if bought for 200.00 Call,text or email at anytime (623)606-298six Thanks Pete”

“there are 3 willys jeeps 1951, 1947, 1948 in rough shape with non running motors and trannys. also electric jeep frame used by postal service it is in good shape you should be able to use it on other willys jeeps i was told the frame has the same bolt holes as a regular frame. also have 3 rear differentials and 1 front and extra trans. and a hard to find aluminum insulated hard cab which would clean up nice seeing though it is aluminum there is no rust. and have lots of other parts and pieces that go to willys jeeps. i have three titles to these jeeps. i would like to sell this all as a package deal for 2000.00 if i cant get 2000.00 for it i will part out over the winter when i have more time if interested call 517-990-5508”

ALL THE PARTS ARE HERE….NEEDS RESTORING

If you can not find ‘another jeep around that looks this good’, then you ought to consider moving. The engine has experienced a red sprayover, meaning it was taped off and sprayed. The body is much rougher than its glossy appearance. I could go on ….

“I am posting this running and driving 1952 Willys Jeep for a friend. This is just sitting around and there is some one out there that will enjoy this more than he can. This is a nice candidate for a restoration or just a driver as most every thing is still intact. Has origonal flat head 4 cyclinder motor that has been gone through. This was used as a plow vehicle before he bought a new tractor. The blade is gone now as it was sold ,but the 4×4 works and there is also a heavy duty winch still intact. Would like $2,500 obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.
The white jeep in the lower left appears to be a VEC CJ-2A.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
(05/20/2011) The seller mentions this might be an old fire jeep, but the seller has no evidence of this.
“This is a near perfect example of a 1950 CJ3A. I bought it in Fresno Ca (still has the black CA plates but also has clear AZ title and plates) now my Son says “no you can’t take the grandaughter in that” and my big old belly rubs the steering wheel. So I am looking for a Jeep Wrangler or Polaris Ranger or something even more stable. This jeep has 18,000 miles on it, the only modifications from stock are: conversion to 12 V, roll bar, bikini top, k&n Air filiter, 5 new tires/rims (have stock rims), tow bar in front. There is absolutely no rust on this jeep, has a plate covering the hole in the left front fender where the siren went. has one dent in the left rear fender well, no other significant body damage. I don’t know if there is a problem with the charging system or ? but when the battery is charged this thing runs like a singer sewing machine. Top speed is less than 50 MPH. The brakes suck. as with all old jeeps the front brakes have thier issues, they work (sometimes too well) and try to lock up the front tires. After I bought this I showed it to my cousin in Bakersfield who is a retired Kern county Fire Capt. He stated that many of the county fire departments had these old jeeps for small back country fires but that they really weren’t used much. This is the only reason this old a jeep could be in this good of a condition with this low of miles. She is a beauty with absolutely no rust.
I really thought this would be such a hoot to take my granddaughter four wheeling in but; The Son says no, so she’s got to go..”
UPDATE: Still Available
(01/03/2011) This looks real nice. The pics looks like they were taken on Tacoma’s north side which is bounded by South Puget Sound.
I worked for a short time near where these photos were taken at C.I. Shenanigans before going back to College to complete my undergrad degree at UPS. I knew the waterfront well, as I spent a lot of time riding my bike along the waterfront and into one of nicest city parks in the nation, Point Defiance Park.
“took this in part trade for a restored Model AA truck in 2009. I used it a couple of times but now I need my garage space back. This things a real hoot. Very smooth and quiet running. No squeaks or rattles. A great example of an unmolested jeep. What grabbed me was, it’s like a time machine, it’s upgraded with the stuff we used in the late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s. Has parts catalogues from early 70’s is seat storage compartment. It’s almost like it was parked in 1972 and found in 2009.
Has an unusual working winch with dual solenoids and Aux. light, removable tow bar, Solex carb, extra mounted coil, CB, converted to 12 volt (with alternator), wider tires and rims, rear swing away spare tire mount, full top, turn indicators.
Engine has had complete rebuild including stainless steel valves and hardened seats for unleaded gas. I added more out of habit, a new battery, HD shocks, plugs, NOS emergency brake shoes and oil change. I’ve encountered no problems with anything.
I joined my old high school friend and jeep nut from 40 yrs. ago on a camping trip in the cascades last summer with his family. Everyone had a ball using the jeep for getting more ice and marshmallows, driving around the campsite, and exploring logging roads with the grand kids. I’d forgotten how low geared, quiet and sure-footed these rigs were.
