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 hotrodded jeep appeared as part of a Craigslist ad for Sunday morning hotrod meets at the city’s new Uhaul store. You can read the ad here: https://westslope.craigslist.org/pts/d/grand-junction-hotrod-sundays-morning/7191206125.html
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/29/2020) This project has some unusual mods.

“I have a 1946 jeep Willy’s that I hate to sell but I don’t have a good spot for storage. I had big plans for it that I couldn’t make happen. It’s definitely something you don’t see everyday. It’s got all original Willy’s badges. I believe it’s on a s10 frame on air bags I know they do have a leak. Possible trades ( looking for 20×12 8x 6.5 wheels )or throw me an offer. I have registration and it was on the road last year. It’s going to need a good amount of work To get going 100% again. I did have the motor running last summer. Trans is slipping”
It’s a project. The body looks to be a DJ-3A body based on the dash.

“Looking to part ways with my 2a project Parts list in last photo Has title. Willing to put together a package for someone for the chassis and title as a base with whatever else is wanted. Won’t part out until chassis is sold. If bought whole, project needs cooling system, fuel, electronics, and the cage finished… along with some misc. Here’s a breakdown of parts, build your own project. Chassis is selling first. Prices on rest of components are on a bundle pricing and may not reflect separate sale prices. 46 cj2a front clip with title, chassis, links, and axles for $1000”
Lots of power for this little rig.

“48 Willy’s on a
41 Willy’s coupe chassis.
Rat rod if you will.
This is fully custom from a build back in the 80s.
Channeled 7-9 inches.
Shortened.
Wagon top removed.
They built a truck cab top that has been removed but still have it.
Has a 65ish for 170 with a Zenith/stomberg euro carb from the 70s.
Since I got it I did a suicide front end dropping front about 8 inches and extending it 36 inches. Rear dropped 3 to give it a California rake look to it.
I have not driven it since I finished the suspension changes.
There is defenately things that still have to be done. Some lights that have to be fixed and button up some things. I drove the car last November or so before I started mods.
Only started since then.
This is a one of a kind that will never be seen again.
It is registered and titles and up to date. With title in hand.”

Something a little different.
“Well… Its kind of a Jeep stew. A little postal, a little Commando, a little Willys CJ5 and kind of a Jeep Rod. It started off as a DJ5A postal dispatcher. Still has the original drivetrain. Chevy II 135cu 4cyl and powerglide transmission. Still right hand drive. Manual drum brakes. Runs good but would be better with a SBC which would bolt right in.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7900.
Needs work of some kind.
“rat rod jeep…1950 willys…clean title…built 350 sbc…new 350 trans…air ride suspension…aluminum radiator…much more…runs and drives but needs some work…if interested call and will discuss.”

This is an odd one.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep RatRod truck. A lot of fabrication went into it. It is a Rat Rod. (If you don’t know what a RatRod is then this is not for you).The drivetrain started out as a 2003 Ford Ranger Edge. V6 Automatic, AC, Heat,PS,PB, CC, Touch Screen stereo. New Glass, Lowered 4/5 inches. Runs and drives good. Would be a good Dailey driver or just for fun on the weekends. I’m not really looking to get rid of it but always looking for something else to play with. Up for trades. I have original paperwork from 40+years ago on this truck and a clear TN title in my name for the truck and the one for the original Ranger Frame. What’s for trade?”
Looks like a fun ride.
