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 .
Needs a bunch of work.
“1950 WILLYS PANEL WAGON ( SOUTHWEST SHETLAND PONY FARM TRUCK )
VERY SOLID BODY ** NEEDS FRONT FLOOR PACTHES ** ALL ORIGINAL NO TITLE”
http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/5449766780.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250.
(02/06/2016) It doesn’t run. Doesn’t have a title.
“I have been asked to sell what is believed to be a late-40’s CJ-2A.
It has what is believed to be a 318ci V-8 under the hood and appears to be fairly solid for it’s age. It steers and stops, but clearly needs a lot work. I winched it onto a trailer to move it; all tires are dry-rotted.
They are asking $2.5k for this, but are open to offers. It’s located in upstate New York.
I don’t know exact status of the registration, as it was a farm vehicle, stored in a barn or garage most of the time. Too old for a title.
I will take all offers to them to review.
It does not run as it sits (didn’t try to start), and is sold needing restoration in as-is condition.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/24/2016) This might be a good price.

Not all original. Non-original brakes, tranny, and rims at the very least.
“Own an original WW II Jeep. The real deal. Made in 1945, this Ford WWII Jeep (Ford GPW) is fully restored and in excellent working condition. All original (except for a more powerful transmission and larger breaks). New shocks, springs, starter, alternator, water pump, radiator, master cylinder, breaks, and rear-end. Street legal with current tags.”

The most valuable part might just be that aluminum blue star hard top.
“51 WILLY JEEP CJ3A . WITH CAB. I HAVE HAD THIS JEEP 55 YEARS. IT IS IN ROUGH CONDITITION. SOME RUST. RUNNING GEARS ARE GOOD. NO ENGINE.”
http://fayar.craigslist.org/pts/5454443908.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(01/11/2016) Has no title and needs work.
“I bought this 1945 Ford built GPW WWII Jeep, not all that long ago to restore. After putting much thought into it, I’ve decided to sell it and buy another one that is already restored. This Jeep has a rebuilt engine that runs great. I’ve driven it around the field where it is stored, but not on the street, because the brakes are down. Although the engine is rebuilt, the rest of the Jeep needs complete and total restoration. It is FAR from ready to drive down the highway. The engine and transmission are out of a later model civilian WILLYS Jeep and not a Ford built Jeep. Someone had cut out the rear panel and made a tailgate. I recently bought a brand new repair panel to fix the tail of the Jeep. This is not an easy restoration and the body is VERY rusty like most WWII Jeeps. It comes with a far less rusty windshield frame. The Jeep does have lots of Ford “F”s stamped on it and it has the original Ford body vin tag. It does NOT have a title.”
Can’t tell how good the floor is (or is not).
“Nice GPW Script body tub with 2 fenders, hood, grill and gas tank sump. Gas tank seen in pics does not go with jeep. $2500 Call for more info NO TEXTS, Please!!”

Josh shared some photos of pages from this Ford Motor Company twenty-page book titled In The Service of America. The book contains photos of jeeps, seeps, and other contributions Ford made to the war effort. We believe the book was published in 1945.
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay.
Seth forwarded this auction. Nice looking wagon!
“This is possibly the best Willys Wagon in the country. This vehicle has had a four year complete rotisserie restoration. The pictures are available.

“1963 Willys CJ5 Jeep

It has the mighty Hurricane 4 cylinder motor.
I purchased it from the original owner (a rancher in Gunnison) and she told me she was the only person who ever drove it.
It has less than 28,000 original miles and it runs great.
Everything works- heater, wipers, lights, gauges, has new tires.
The frame, body and suspension are solid as a rock.
Transmission and the 4 wheel drive transfer case work just right and it has Warn locking hubs.
This is a rare find that has not been messed up or molested.
I purchased it just to have a project to work on.
I cleaned it up and have done all the maintenance it needed with new hoses, fluids, tune up, brake lines, tires etc.
I am ready to move on to the next project so this one needs a new home.
Original Owner’s Manual and Service Manual and it even has the original Jack!
Tow bar and lights are included.
It has never been re-painted but a lot of value is now in the “rust-o-rod” look.
