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 $4500
(11/09/2010) This looks good and heavily modified.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
(09/09/2010) The seller says it is 1953, but it appears to have a CJ-2A body on it.
“1953 willys – 1000.00 or Trade. Perfect Project for the Jeep Enthusiast. Engine Runs, Manual transmission- clutch stuck, 4 wheel drive, no title. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
(07/01/2009) This has a fiberglass tilt front clip and a fiberglass body. It could use a paint job at the very least.
“This willys has a fiberglass body w/ tilt front end, 350 4 bolt main, 350 turbo transmission auto. w/ 4wd , power brakes,power steering, tilt steering wheel, stewart warner gauges.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(01/24/2010) It’s a bit dirty, but sounds like it’s in solid shape.
“-I have had it for about a year and a half i put a 4in lift and 34in super swamper ltb tires
-it has a 327 with ported heads, oversized cam, edelbrock carb and intake, newer distributer plugs and wires
-the tranny is a muncie 4 speed out of a 68 camaro, stock transfer case with the warn overdrive lever ( it has 4 shifters total)
-it has stock axles with 5.38 gears
I drive it down the freeway at 60mph and there isnt any shake to it. it has never broke down on me and runs very strong and has more than enough power (i have pulled the front tires off the ground a few times). I have taken it wheelin and it does great but the body has zero dents in it and absolutely no rust what so ever. The only difference from the pics is i put black wheels on it and painted the diamond plate corners black. The paint is in good shape but it does have scratches in the paint. I am sking 4300obo and will consider trades for 95 or newer honda or something like it.”
There might be some value?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(05/14/2010) It appears to have a MB windshield. The rims are quite unusual. I’d like a closeup look at those. It looks in great shape.

(02/13/2010) It still needs some work.

The outside of the body looks good, but check out the inside of the rear cargo area. The driver’s side wheel-well sides have been beat up pretty well.

This is a nice looking CJ-3A, but it isn’t all original except for the 12 volt.

The frame has already been cleaned up. This might be decent price depending on how bad the rust is.

This has an unusual rig on the back. Lotso rust here.
“Dont know many details about it. Its rusty, but ran back in the spring of this year. Has original 4 cy. 3 spd running gear with stock axles. Has lots of rust. Would most likely run again if you rebuilt the carburetor and filed down the points and put a battery in it. Has Super Swamper Bogger Tires-30 x 12.50 x 15 with lots of tread left. Tires are too wide on the rims and you cannot cut the Jeep very far either way. $350.00 cash gets it all.”
