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: **SOLD** to an eWillys reader (thanks to this post).
This is a mix of CJ-2A and M-38 parts. The auction is Saturday the 10th.
“We are selling this nice jeep at an estate auction on Saturday the 10th. It will be held at the estate in Fountain Hills and I was told by the family that it was running but there was a fuel problem and that’s why the gas tank is out of it. Looks like all the parts are there, the seats are out but there and the fuel tank is there and some new parts. Over all the jeep seems to be in great shape.
it is sold as is but we can tell you all we know about it. The owner has died and the family are the ones selling off the estate..Thanks”

(11/07/2016) It runs.
“This is a 1959 Willys that needs a new home! It runs and has had a lot of work done to it already. I do not have time to work on it so must sell. The body is in great shape and the motor is the 6 cyl. Super Hurricane. It is 4 wheel drive and manual transmission . The transmission is the t90 and works. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(08/23/2016) “This Jeep oozes adventure and 70 years young. A lot of restoration has been done.
1. Rebuilt engine with 3000 miles on it
2. Rebuilt steering
3. New brakes and 5 new tires
4.New wiring
5. Converted to 12 volt
6. New windshield glass
7. Snorkel installed for those underwater adventures
8. New windshield cowl gasket(not installed yet)
9. New headlights, turn signals, all lights work
10. New gauges-they all work
11. New carburetor
12. New Exhaust system
These old Willys are the quintessential Jeeps, more fun to drive than a Disneyland ride, a real E ticket. Makes more conversation and new friends than a jar of Planter’s Peanuts. These Willys are geared low, goes anywhere except the freeway(top speed 45-50mph). Has the “Go Devil” flathead 4 cylinder engine! THE MOST PERFECT beach cruiser ever made, fun in the sun! The vehicle that won World War 2, an historical icon. These are quite rare in good running condition and mostly original. $5500. Still sports the original 16 inch battle wheels! No Smog Certificate Needed. Cheap to insure and register. Kind of a no brainer for anyone looking for the perfect around town transportation that will put FUN back in your driving experience. Beats having porters carry your car across a mountain stream! ( see picture below) Compare with other restored Willys at 8-12000? This is a great deal!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1950.
(11/26/2016) Has a 3B/DJ-3A windshield. Not title.
“Vintage Willys Jeep. I was told it is a 1948, but I DO NOT HAVE A TITLE. Was running a couple of years ago, but started backfiring last year. I was told it was in the manifold. All parts are there.”

Dan spotted this great price on a hard-to-find speedometer. I believe the seller also has some other parts for sale.
“A very nice 50’s willys/Jeep speedometer. Was working fine until the needle fell off and I imagine it would work fine again if it was reattached. I’m not sure if the temp or gas gauge work as I didn’t have them hooked up. I didn’t want to risk messing up the bezel trying to get it off. My wagon is definitely not a show car so I just got a reproduction to replace it. These originals are getting quite rare especially unfaded as this one is! A steal at 50 bucks but I’d rather sell it locally then deal with shipping it.”

(09/13/2016) The Bed Extension looks like a permanent fixture rather than an aftermarket version. The last pic shows the walls of the extender appearing to extend into the bed.
“Runs excellent. Original other than wheels and tires. PLEASE CALL”
These photos came from a 1955 jeep family brochure introducing the CJ-5. What’s curious is that several photos show the shackles on the front springs located at the front (see the “mail carrier” photo). As most know, the earliest CJ-5s had shackles in the rear. So, I’m wondering if the CJ-5s in these photos were bodies put on CJ-3B chassis or whether they were prototype chassis.
Luis spotted this jeepish looking vehicle. Anyone recognize it? Custom or production vehicle?
Could be a nice jeep.

Had intended on a v8 originally so firewall is clearanced to except v8 and jeep was built up to handle it with front boxed frame and heavy duty cooling system. 2 inch new lift kit on 33 inch tires. Frame is from a 1952 cj and gauges are from a cj5 with aluminum dash. And cj5 swinging foot pedals with hydraulic brakes and clutch setup, new bucket seats with racing harnesses. also has electronic ignition. Needs a little electrical work done to the gauges. Vehicle is currently registered with a green sticker only needs to add front windshield to register it for the street but since I don’t drive it on the street I haven’t bothered to repair broken windshield which comes with vehicle. Solid vehicle that just needs some one to finish off or drive as is and have fun with, I also have 1 ton front and rear axles that will go with the Jeep Dana 44 front and Dana 60 rear plus 4 steel wheels to make the swap.”
