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 .

(05/30/2011) The body is fiberglass and the engine a 258.
“A real head turner! My jeep is a 53 willys body on a 78 cj7 frame. The body is all fiberglass, so no rust. There is an 1984 six cylinder 258 engine. Original engine (an older 258) was replaced with this 258 three years ago. Guy I bought it from said it was rebuilt 25000 miles ago. Has the carter 2bbl carb. Has a T150 transmission. Transmission was checked over last year. Shifts very good in forward gears. Does grind when you put it in reverse but only if you do it quickly. 4 Wheel drive works awesome. Has lockers on the front rims. The tires are 35″ BFGoodrich All Terrain wheels. The rims were painted in april of this year. Brand new custom made bumpers were installed in march of this year too. Jeep is a short wheel base car so if you turn sharply while going fast you are guaranteed to roll! That being said, this jeep has never been rolled. There is so much more that can be said about this jeep! The hood is the only odd thing on this jeep. The guy before me either hand made this or cut something up. Its all fiberglass, is a bifold, and is clamped down but the center flaps up and down while you are going at fast speeds. I have an original 53 cj2a hood that I will include only if the car sells for the asking price, other wise I can resell it.
In the 6 years Ive own this jeep I havent driven it more than 2000 miles and thats being generous. Has been garage kept. Previous owner owned it since it was put together. He was also a welding teacher so a lot of things are welded, like the roll bar to the windshield (which is metal). Only selling because Im moving to a house w/ a smaller garage and have to sell one of my toys.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7525.
This appears in good shape.

The seller lists the year as a 1944 then notes in the comments it might be a 1946-1948. However, I’d say it’s more like a CJ-3A. The seller also notes the body is in great shape, clearly ignoring the patches along both sides of the body. I love the authentic bullet holes in the glass.
“NOT EXCATLY SURE OF DATE IT WAS MADE(46-48) BUT ITS IN GREAT SHAPE 4 BEING SO OLD. WILL RUN WITH A LITTLE TLC. THE MILAGE IS NOT RIGHT CAUSE LIKE I SAID ITS NEEDS TLC. THIS WILLY IS STRAGHT OUT OF WWII. THE BODY IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH A STURDY FRAME. BEEN SITTING IN A SHED FOR LIKE 10 YEARS AT LEAST.”

(04/14/2011) This looks like a real solid CJ-3A for an east coast flattie. Might make a really good restoration project.
“Have Title, 36,000 Miles, I Don’t know a lot of specifics about the jeep , it has not been started in a while but have always gotten it to run when it needed to be moved. Like brand new Best Soft Top, Plow , Last inspection 1972 , Was used to plow Personal Parking lot never driven on roads.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
It runs.
“1951 WILLYS JEEP 4×4 with original 4 cylinder engine that runs good, 31x 10.50 super swamper tires with 75% or better tread this jeep was used as hunting jeep on hunting lease until the lease was sold. It has a title and can be yours for a price of $2000.00 or obo.
This was a hunting jeep and looks like one if you want a daily driver or a show jeep buy this one and put some money in it and you can have one.”
It looks like the side was sponge painted.
“Original 6 volt system. Upgrades include: new brakes, shocks and lock-out hubs. Recently installed spare tire rack, not in picture. Has built in tool box. Runs great and is ready for the lease or ranch! Price is firm and fare for a Jeep Willys of this quality at $3,500. Can be seen in Gatesville, TX. I suggest you bring a trailer for transport to your house or ranch. The tires are great for the pasture but not good for the street. Will respond to email or call TWO 5 FOUR-6 FOUR 4- FIVE 6 THREE 7. Please no scams.”
