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 .
Looks promising. Only one pic provided.

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $12,900.
(03/12/2016) Looks in good shape.
“1946 Willys CJ2A. I found this wonderful Willys/Jeep in dry storage where it has been since 1987. It was last driven then. It was repainted once in the late 1970’s. 1979 is what I was told. I don’t claim to be a jeep expert but I have been restoring muscle cars for 30 years. I don’t recall seeing anything any vehicle cleaner than this Willys. It is in astounding condition for a 70 year old vehicle. I own a repair garage and as such went through this Willys mechanicals from end to end. Fluids all drained refilled. I rebuilt the fuel pump, master cylinder and carburetor. I removed the oil pan to check for debris, clean and reseal. The entire fuel system was cleaned spotless to remove all old fuel residues. Plugs and points were installed. Upon completion of all this work, I hit the starter button and the original engine fired immediately and runs perfectly. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
Maybe something here? Pic isn’t too helpful.

The body has been lengthened. I’m wondering if this is on a later model CJ-5 chassis? Either that or the frame has been lenghtened.
“Has sat for a long time. Is a good restoration project. $1,000 or best offer. All reasonable offers considered.”
Needs some brake and body work.

I received an email with the following question. We are nearly home and I don’t have time to research it. Anyone know the answer?
I’m currently rebuilding, for a customer, a 1940 willys 4 cyl. It has babbitted connecting rods and I was wondering if standard later model rods could be substituted?

Lost as usual.
Today’s goal was to drive from Albuquerque to Pueblo, Colorado (See yesterday’s post here). Mother Nature had a different idea.
Today we drove from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Cortez, Colorado
We awoke on Wendesday morning to learn that Mother Nature had decided to spoil the Coloradoans early spring by sending a wintery blizzard through the Denver area. Winds accompanied the snow (it remained very windy in Albquequerque as well), causing a snow plow to tip over at the Denver airport. We didn’t have to read much of the news to decide that we were ready to save Colorado for another day. So, we altered our plan to drive up the eastern slope of the Rockies in favor of driving the short route home through Utah.
However, another issue appeared when we made that decision; it seemed that we only had a narrow window through which we could get over Oregon’s Blue Mountains (on I-84) between storms. This meant we couldn’t mess around too much on the way home. We had to get going. But, first we wanted to stop by The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History’s gift shop (Ann wanted some bomb shaped shot glasses) and then visit the Anderson-Abruzzo International Balloon Museum, aka the Albuquerque Balloon Museum, before heading for Cortez, Colorado.
We visited the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History during our trip last year. They had some cool gifts, including a set of shot glasses and wanted to buy. When we walked into the gift shop, look what we found! 1956 CJ-5 (serial number 10006) purchased by the federal government, complete with a data plate. One of the more interesting mods was the RPM gauge on the grille and a custom bump on the hood. When I saw those mods I got very curious about what was under the hood, so I pulled the “I run a large vintage jeep website” card. Of course, they had no clue who I was, but they let me open the hood anyway. It was all stock, except for the mice droppings; someone hadn’t cleaned under the hood in a while. I concluded the gauge and hood were likely not original to the jeep, hence they were painted black.
Joe’s got a couple events happening this upcoming weekend. If you like jeeps and planes, head to Mesa, Arizona! The open house is Saturday only, but the SMTS is all weekend.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Looks like a good price.

If rust isn’t too bad, seems like there is value here.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It doesn’t run, but it’s possible that there isn’t anything too difficult to fix.
“1966 Ford military Jeep with a clear title. It was running when I parked it 3or4 years ago. We used it on the farm but it would be good to use in parades or just driving around. It needs some work but if you are good with mechanical things, this will make you a nice vehicle. Look at the pictures and call if you have questions”
No battery, so unclear if it runs or not.
