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** Was $1800.
It runs.
“You can plow your drive this winter in style with this jeep. It’s a little crusty around the edges but still keeps on going. I’ve never been able to get her stuck enough that she couldn’t drive out of it. If it doesn’t snow this winter then at least you’ll have a fun mud toy. With a little tlc she’ll keep going for a long time.”

(12/12/2015) It’s a project.
“I am not selling a car… I am offering you a piece of America’s awesome history. What you see in the photos is the frame and drive train of the one the machines that was used to assert the U.S. as the world’s first super power. A 1942 Willy’s Jeep MB. By owning just one of these fine pieces of all American ingenuity, you become a finer more patriotic citizen of this great nation. And one day (most likely when you are not looking) the symbol of this land of freedom, yes a bald eagle, will fly over your home and smile down on it. Now by this time you are thinking “I need this Jeep in my life!! But what has been done to it so far?” Well gents I am glad you asked. After rescuing this beautiful thing from an untimely death in a farmers field I (with the help of my amazing father-in-law a mechanic of over 40 year):
ran all new brake lines
all new brake pads
all new brake cylinders
all new master cylinder
rebuilt the transmission
rebuild the alternator
replaced front and rear bumper
replaced all shocks
bought 5 new rims with 5 like new tires (worth about $1000)
bought a new muffler kit
cleaned up the radiator
rebuilt the starter
up graded to a 12v system
and much more….
The Jeep come with many parks, far to many to list everything in fact. Some will need to be replaced and some just cleaned up a bit. The engine is free turning and ran before we disassembled the Jeep.
After all of this work there was a very unfortunate loss. Try as we might, we were unable to save the body tub. However… we did manage to save the very soul of this glorious beast; the iconic Jeep grill.
There is not to much more needed to bring the beautiful creation of the American auto industry back to life. This is why it is the PERFECT starter for someone looking to begin a new year as a “Jeep guy.”
Begin your dream of having an easy project jeep, with restoring a piece of the American dream.
Please call with any questions. I am asking $3800 OBO. Thank you for your time and God Bless”

“This is a Project Vehicle – Willy’s Jeep Forward Control Pick up, 4×4, Not Running. No tittle, will provide a bill of sale. I’m asking 1500. o.b.o/ Make Offers”
Jim spotted this one.
“This is a project. It has a good 4 cylinder engine,fresh rebuilt trans. It does need to be put back together as it was being torn down for a rebuild. It could still easily be put back on the road in a weekend. It comes with tons of spare parts. I bought this with every intention to do a full build.
You can easily have this thing running in an afternoon hook the carb up ,add a battery and fuel I know this thing will run.
It is a full blown project but you don’t find a willys with a title for this price often”

(12/08/2015) Can’t see a whole lot from the pic.
“Up for sale or trade is a VERY rare Jeep CJ6. For those of you unfamiliar with this model; the CJ6 is a rare elongated, or stretched, CJ5 (Almost a small pickup bed behind the seats!) Her Buick Dauntless V6 runs and drives and has just under 35k original miles!!!! She is by no means perfect though. She will need some electrical work to be road worthy (indicators and brake lights need work), some DEFINATE body work (holes in driver and passenger floor pans, small dents, needs new paint, etc), and a rebuild/tune on the carb. This list is a minimum. Please don’t come expecting a perfect Jeep…as there is no such thing. She will need a labor of love, but one lap around my property with the wind in your hair, shifting old clunky gears, and the classic old school smell of unburned gas coming from the exhaust, and you’ll be hooked.
Has an old school steel hard top and doors, but the top is pretty beat up. My plan is to rhinoline the entire body and run it around old town FoCo and up the Poudre Canyon with the top, and doors, off this summer.
I am by no means desperate to sell her. I’m working on her bit by bit, but free time is a hard thing to come by these days. Looking for something turn key and ready to hit the road. Possibly another Jeep, hotrod, cruiser, ATV, UTV, enclosed trailer, camper? Sky’s the limit; what ya got?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200
(09/04/2015) It doesn’t run. VEEP manufacturer Hadley Engineering was based in Costa Mesa.

Jay spotted this trailer. Looks like there may be some value here.
“50s era military utility trailer.

Not towable at this time. Needs tires. Trailer has been sitting 25+ years.”
