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 good.
“1955 Willies Jeep Pickup.
Chevy V8 Engine

Has a tranny problem, but still looks like a very good price.
“66 CJ6 Jeep with Powerful Dauntless v6 motor, 3 speed manual transmission, Bestop Tiger Top removable soft top or just remove the doors. Super strong motor and good heater in the winter. Starts first time every time. The CJ 6 is a classic long wheelbase jeep with heavy duty running gear. The transmission isn’t working for me in 1st gear but still drives in 2nd and 3rd so test driving is still possible. 4×4 is still testable and works well.”

“1947 Willies Overland, Nova sub-frame, 350/350, comes with surfboard, great cruiser, phantom gages, upholstery very clean, Awesome conversation piece of history, blast to drive”
It runs and drives. Has a PTO, snow plow and top. body is rough.
“This is an old Jeep that will need some work. It is rough and rusty but the body is not laying on the ground. The Jeep does have some nice OEM extras. Including an original PTO that drives the front winch. Also has an old plow that I think may have come with the Jeep. It is just a manual turn and hyd. lift with the original jeep pump. Also has an original top and doors. Jeep will start and run fine day and the next time it goes to start may or may not start. So it will need some attention. Not sure what the problem is but it is still an original 6 volt system. May need new tune up parts.”

“1951 WILLYS WAGON SMALL BLOCK V8 CHEVY, AUTOMATIC 4×2 NOT RUNNING, MAY TRADE $1950 MAKE OFFER CALLS OR EMAILS ONLY”

Could use some interior cleaning, but has a great vintage look.
“1947 Willys Ratrod. Run’s, Drives, Stops and working lights. PTO winch. Small block chevy 4×4. Needs work and has some rust. Clear title.obo or trade?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Might make a good project.
“This is among the rarest of all the Willys jeeps. This is a 1951 panel delivery and there were only 154 made. This one came to me in a lot of cars I bought. I had to buy all of them to get the one I wanted so I ended up with others that I’m going to sell. This cool old ride has a 1971 model 302 Mustang engine and transmission, as well as a Ford 8” rear end (with 2.79 gears). All I’ve done under the hood since I’ve owned it is rebuild the carburetor and replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump and changed the oil & filter. The engine starts right up and runs good. The transmission works just as it should also. I put a new master cylinder on it but only have rear brakes. I believe that the front wheel cylinders are seized up. I bought rebuild kits for the front wheel cylinders but have not had time to rebuild them.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400.
Glenn spotted these funky Cushman’s for sale.
“Here is an ULTRA RARE barn find. “Two” 1957 Cushman Mailster Mail Carts and “One” Dec./1958 Cushman Mailster Mail Cart. All “Three” Carts are 80% to 98% complete.
These Cushman Mailsters were delivered to Lompoc Ca. Post Office in 1957 and late Dec. 1958 and were in service till 1965, when delivered to Sunnyvale CA. Post Office where they continued their service till retirement.
These Carts along with 47 others then went up for auction where all 50 Carts were purchased to one person who then stored till date/now.
These Carts have the single cylinder “Husky” engines, that spin freely, with the 3 speed trans.
They will/would need full restoration. These will be sold with a “Bill Of Sale”
“The “RED” Cart “IS NOT” included in this sale”
Possible trade for pre 1975 Ford, Chevy, Mopar, Willys Coupe or other of Value. Cash in or out $3400.00 OBO”
No pics provided.
“1948 willys jeep with v6 motor. needs work. make an offer”
This is another big milestone in this project. The proofs have arrived. I can already see some changes that need to be made. I’m hoping for a late November publish date, but we’ll see.
Gayland forwarded these pics from a co-worker of his who visited Colombia. It’s a Casa Willys Restaurant (notice the sign in the upper right of the first photo) located in Salento, Colombia. It’s well rated by Trip Advisor.
Bill Reiss has this 1965 CJ-5 with what appears to be a trailer wiring hole similar to the hole in the early 2A’s that had leftover military bodies. Anyone ever seen a factory hole like this on a CJ-5??
The hole is cut PERFECTLY, like it was done on a panel prior to body assembly… And the original blue paint is on the edges of the cutout. This is unusual, as I’ve never seen this before. I haven’t found evidence of an optional wiring kit/plug/whatever in the ’65 print info.
Anyone else ever seen this? Was it possibly an option?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
“54 Willys 3B with F-134 engine, T90 3 speed, and Dana 18 transfer case. Jeep has had a light restoration from previous owner(s) over the years but is still mostly stock as you can see in the pics. Everything works and the Jeep runs/drives nice. Converted to 12 volts but still has push button floor starter. Newer parts include complete wiring harness, carb, fuel pump, leaf springs, tires, battery, gauges, brakes (shoes, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, and some lines), tune up etc…. Rims have been powder coated and the seats are reupholstered. I have some extra parts as well including a tow bar, spare rim, period correct Harrison heater (needs rebuilding) and misc other stuff. Jeep has a vintage Bestop Dualmatic soft top in very good condition as well. I’m sure I’m forgetting other things but the Jeep pretty much speaks for itself. Serious inquiries only please.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8600.
(09/21/2015) Sounds like the body has been rebuilt.

New paint inside and out. needs interior and a little TLC. I have paperwork on all engine specs and receipts for all work that was done. I also have pictures of restoration from start to present. I am only selling because I started another project and I don’t want the truck to sit in storage.”

Seller is looking for the best offer.
“1947 Willys Jeep was re engined with a Mazda rotary engine (won’t run). This is a great restoration project.

Have the original radiator, a canvas military top(good shape), and 4 extra wider wheels and tires (decent).
BEST OFFER BY OCTOBER 31, 2015 TAKES IT HOME!”
