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 $1500.
There appears to be value here. I suspect the seller means the front end is original looking, not original.
“This jeep has a Buick 2.3 V6 engine runs great needs minor work. It has a brand new soft top and doors. It has an original 52 Jeep willies fiberglass front end. It has $1000. Worth new tires.”
The Diamant Family from Great Britain toured the United States during the summer of 1966 using a Jeep Gladiator. They saw quite a bit of the country and had a fantastic adventure.
Seller also has a good looking Jeepster.

Beautiful paint accented with rhino features both exterior and interior. All glass and rubber moulding has been replaced, cranks runs and drives as it should. Finished and sealed pine bed liner with the coveted trademark WILLYS tailgate. Comes with original bench seat and many extra parts- grill, heater wipers etc. if desired.

The restorer spent over two years completing this project and it shows.”

“1946 Willy’s JEEP
I have a clear Texas title in hand
Original manual
Spare tire
functioning fold down windshield
4wd of course
3 speed manual transmission
**********
Front trailer attachment, making it super easy to haul anywhere without the need of a trailer*************
I bought it last year from a guy who had been using it on his deer lease for a very long time. He was injured and quit hunting so let it go. Per him he was either the 3rd or 4th owner. I’ve used it on the ranch a few times but that’s all. It has functioning lights and all. I went to start it up this week when I pulled it out to take the pictures and it started right up. Keep in mind it hadn’t been touched since February this year! Motor runs perfectly and starts up on 1st try! Can be made street legal.
I paid $2200 for it late last year but have no longer have use for it. I will take $1600 in hopes for a quick hassle free sale!”
It runs and drives, but doesn’t stop. No title.
“as far as I can tell this is a 1958 Jeep Fc 150 forward control truck that someone has taken the bed off and put a boom on it runs and drives, the 4wd drive works good also, it is rusty but would make a great woods toy, has Dana 44s it has plenty of torque, in four low it will about snap your neck! Great for a hunting club. Selling as is no warranties, with Bill Of Sale only! Thanks for looking make me an offer.
Runs and drives but brakes don’t work!”

Appears solid. Some more pics would be useful.
“Willy’s Jeep CJ2A 1945/46
One of just a few Willy’s Jeep CJ2A with a transmission of three on the tree column shift. I have had this Jeep for over 4 years, love it but unable to spend any time restoring it to it’s original glory. This
Jeep is stock and has most original parts. Lights work, gauges work, seats are in good condition with no rips. If you are mechanical and can put sometime in to restoring this gem, I have seen them listed for over $30k fully restored. The reason I put 1945/46 down for the year, is because the vin number of
11433 falls in to the year of 1945, vin’s 1001 – 11824. So, the vin number puts the Jeep in to the year of 1945, yet it’s written on the Title as a 1946 Jeep. Go figure? I bought the Jeep in 2011 from a CHP
Motorcycle Policeman who kept on his farm south of San Jose. Like I said, I bought the Jeep as an
investment because of it’s unique one of a kind transmissions, 3 speed column shift. I’m not going to waste my time with tire kickers, so serious inquiries only please.”

Ann’s son Daniel exploring the London Mill area in Mosquito Gulch.
Making a long story short, Ann and I drove to Omaha (non stop for 24 hours) to retrieve her son Daniel. On our way back we decided to take a slightly scenic route (he’s never seen Colorado or Utah).
After all our driving on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we knew how those Pony Express riders felt as they raced across America! This was taken Wednesday evening at a rest stop near the board of Nebraska and Colorado.
With that in mind, we left Colorado Springs on Thursday on a northwest course to Alma. I then planned to head east over 13,000ft Mosquito Pass, drop into Leadville, and continue onward to I-70. Mosquito Pass sounded like it would be a harmless little pass, but we discovered the name belies the difficulty.
We started in Colorado Springs and drove west toward Grand Junction. I’d hoped to cut across Mosquito Pass.
Mosquito Pass’ history is as old as Leadville. It was built in 1877 for $25,000 by the president of the St. Louis Smelting and Refining Company to serve Leadville miners. The wagon road was desperately needed to bring in supplies from the Denver area and ferry smelted ore out of the Rockies. the road was crucial for Leadville’s transformation into a boomtown by the late 1870s. In 1879 my great great grandfather joined the crowd and built the Billing & Eilers smelter (which became the Arkansas Valley Smelter, the last smelter in Leadville).
In 1881 my then fifteen year old great grandfather Karl Eilers and two of his Denver friends decided it would be neat to visit Leadville. So, during the summer they hopped on some horses and rode the one-hundred-mile route. They traveled from Denver to Breckenridge, up over Hoosier Pass, and then over Mosquito Pass. How many kids get to do anything like that these days??
Leadville and the tales of my grandparents fill some of the pages of my newest book, so I wanted to make the journey over Mosquito Pass to see what they saw. Since the weather was perfect and the pass was open, I decided this was a great time to do it. I just didn’t know I needed a better 4×4 vehicle!
Started on the east side of the pass on CR 12.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800
(08/18/2015) This might be a good price.

Needs batter and an oil leak fixed.
“I have a 1948 Willys Jeep that was passed down to me from my grandfather. I have no use for it and it is more of a collectors item. Mechanically it works perfect. The only maintenance that needs to be done is a oil leak repair and a new battery so it will need to be towed away at the buyers expense. The leather seats have no rips or tears, the interior needs a little TLC as well. The winch on the front is fully functional. It also comes with a spare tire and a towing hitch. The engine is a standard 3 speed. I’ve seen these run from $2000 as body frame only and $25,000 fully refurnished. I have the title in hand as well. Cash only.”
