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 .

Wade is helping a family in his neighborhood sell this wagon. They are open to offers. They just kinda want it gone. They have had it for a long time and its too much of a project for them. The engine is a Chevy, and it is seized. Nothing else seems seized though. Only bad eat rust is on the bottom of the rear door, and around the rear wheel wells. Seller has more photos if needed/wanted. If anyone has questions they can call the number in the photo.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
Might be worth a look.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/25/2015) It appears to be a pretty original jeep, but it could use some restoration.
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5330466829.html
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B, all original, flat-fender, first year of the “Hurricane Four” 4 cyl F-head motor. Original 6-volt electrical system, original oil-bath air cleaner, original vacuum motor windshield wiper. It has spent its whole life in the Oregon High Desert east of the mountains, so there is no significant rust, and was driven only locally for the last 50 yrs, so it has not been “put through the wringer.” Was driven occasionally and parked in back of the house for many years, and has been in a garage for the last several. It could probably be driven away, but has rarely been run for the last 15 years or so. Probably has gas varnished up in the fuel system, and should have a hi-detergent oil run a short while before an oil change, etc. It should probably be taken to its new home via a trailer for face-lift and/or restoration. Got a bunch more pics, email-able, if you’re interested —

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
This has a Ford flathead. Might make a solid rebuild.
“This is a RARE 1952 Jeep Willys Pickup truck with a 1950’s Ford flat head V8 engine swap, the body has about 500,000 miles on it and I would guess that the engine has about 200,000 but is still in great shape and sounds pretty awesome, it still has the original 3-speed Manual Transmission with 4WD High & Low. This was my great grandfathers truck, so it’s been in the family awhile, it was last registered in 2002. It doesn’t run right now, so it would have to be towed. I had it running last summer, it basically only needs a battery and a rebuilt carburetor to get it running. Believe me this is a great project truck for anyone who has the time and money to get it done. I am asking $3000 o.b.o
I am open to trades, would be mostly interested in a 4 cylinder car.
Please text me if you have any questions or offers. Thank you!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
No engine, but there still may be value here.
“1953 Willys set up for small block chevy, needs work, great starter project, less engine. call for more info”

(11/12/2015) That appears to be a VEC CJ-2A body with a filled in tailgate. The rear axles aren’t full floating. Might be a mix of parts. The dogs look in reasonable shape.

In a seasonally perfect topic, Tim forwarded this link that included a video that has some vintage video of jeeps moving snow with Meyer plows. The video notes that Meyer has been selling plows since World War II. I happened upon a second Meyer video on youtube, featuring 1960s innovations. Finally, below the videos are four pages from a 1947 special equipment book showing early Meyer ads.

Several readers shared links to different Pygmy Articles published over the past couple of days. I guess it was a popular subject!

Nice looking jeep. I wish the pics were better.
“Complete restoration of a period correct build. This Jeep was originally built in the 70’s and then rebuilt from ground up and since finished it has less than 50 miles on it. Everything is new or rebuilt. Parade or show worthy. Stroked 327 Chevy with Muncie Trans. Engine built for torque and power but mild enough for daily driver. Body is perfect. Hardly a flaw from top to bottom. Two fuel tanks. I already have too many Jeeps and other projects to enjoy this like it should be. I know the history of this California original Jeep since the 60’s”

UPDATE: ***SOLD** Was $2700.
This might be a good find. It includes a plow, too.
