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 .
This looks solid.

This flattie was featured in JP Magazine back in November, 2001. (I tried to find a link, but couldn’t)
“Humm, this 61 yr. old Jeep has worn out another owner. I’ve been foolin around with this flatfender for 20+ years. My how time flies when your having fun. This is a fun vehicle but it’s time for me to let it go.
This turn key 3a bodied JEEP has been trail proven, is simple, solid and reliable. Very capable of traversing some noteable Jeep trails as is. With four wheel hubs it is set up for flat towing, so no trailer needed. I have flat towed it thousands of miles. And it is light enough (under 3500#’s)to tow with a V6 car/SUV/truck. It was a featured vehicle in JP magazine back in Nov,’01. it’s still featured in their online website. It has been modified since in the magazine article. Many detail items changed, many CJ5 parts, a v6 motor, better axles and suspension plus more. Lot’s of information on the cardomain link below. Email me for even more info or photos. I know ever nut and bolt on this rig and have reciepts and a build sheet for reference. offered for sale @ $8500. More photos and information @ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2174452/1950-willys-cj”

(03/11/2010) This looks like a good price. I’m not sure if this is a DJ with an extended rear mod or a CJ-3A with a the wrong year??

(12/17/2010) This looks like a nice rebuild.
“51 Willys Jeep totally stock running gear completely rebuilt and replaced from the pressure plate to the tips of the axles. 3 speed transmission, transfer case and both axles have been completely gone through and rebuilt with 11″ brakes added and firewall mounted brake pedal. I have $4000 worth of receipts from Back Country Products for the running gear rebuild. This Jeep is all about Nostalgia. The motor is a 1955 Corvette 265 small block Chevy – very rare only 700 Corvettes built in 1955. This motor NEVER HEATS UP even in our hottest weather, wish I could say that of the street rods I have built. With an Enos wiring kit, batt relocated in the rear, nice bucket seats up front with driver seat adjustable so any size person can drive comfortably (I’m a big guy) a custom rear bench seat with 3 sets of lap belts for the grand kids, Corvette chromium yellow paint, a black and white striped bikini top and you begin to see this thing is for show and go. In 6 years since this project was completed I have put exactly 512 miles on it. All hauling kids over to 7-11 for slurpees – well its not far to 7-11. Always garage kept and never once taken off road, that’s why it looks the way it does today. If you don’t want to have people point and stare this is not for you. This thing draws as much attention as my street rods (had two motorcycle cops pull along side and talk Jeeps at a stop light today). This thing pulled the Bonanza High School freshman float at their homecoming this year. I am out of room and want to go off roading with my son and his rock crawler, my wife won’t lend me her Toyota Four Runner for such foolishness. It would be a sin to cut this up into a rock crawler. While it will do off road anthing and more a 51 Willy was designed for I am looking for a more aggresive off road rig and just can’t bring myself to start with such a beauty that is doing what is was built to do. Asking $5800 or trade for more aggressive off road vehicle or a Polaris Sportsman EFI. I don’t have to sell and I don’t have junk so don’t even go there with your offers. Don’t tell my grand kids… boy am I in trouble. Serious persons can call Gene 702-379-3980

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This looked pretty good until I saw the paint job on the engine. It looks like someone just painted the engine, with all parts attached.
“YOU ARE VIEWING A 1951 WILLYS. TRUE MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN. CLEAR TITLE! THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE HAS BEEN REBUILT. TRANSMISSION HAS A NEW CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, AND THROWOUT BEARING. IT HAS NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, BRAKE LINES, AND BRAKE SHOES ALL AROUND. EXHAUST IS IN GOOD CONDITION. NEW TIRES!!! A SPARE IS INCLUDED. WINDSHIELD AND RUBBER SEALS ARE NEW. SEATS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED.

A SPEEDOMETER WILL COME WITH PURCHASE IN CASE YOU DECIDE TO PUT ONE IN. THERE ARE NO RUST ISSUES. PAINT JOB ISN’T SHOW QUALITY BUT LOOKS GOOD. RUNS OUT GOOD!!! WOULD BE A FUN TOY !!! ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(11/10/2010) For $3000, given all the upgrades, this appears to be a good price.

“1952 Willys Jeep, 1952 CJ3A, runs good, fiberglass body and hood looking for a good home”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $55,000.
(03/10/2010) “This rare find — a completely handmade, completely stainless steel Jeep — was commissioned in the Philippines in 1981 and custom built by then-President Ferdinand Marcos. It was later purchased by a well-known national television news correspondent, who then had this one of a kind Jeep shipped back to Los Angeles. It has never been driven. With less than 10 miles on the odometer, this classic style “Eisenhower” Jeep is a vintage car collector’s dream. The exterior is like new; it’s been protected in a fully-covered, temperature-controlled garage since its trip to the United States. To our knowledge this is the only Jeep of its kind in the U.S. The brushed-exterior is in supreme condition. The engine is a rebuilt 1953 Willy’s V-8 that needs only minor service. Complete vehicle sold as is.”
