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 .
This collection of video outtakes was filmed September 9, 1943, in downtown Philadelphia. It includes some famous motion picture actors riding in jeeps like Fred Astaire, Lucille Ball, James Cagney, Greer Garson, Judy Garland, Dick Powell, Paul Henreid, and Harpo Marx.

Jim spotted this nice looking CJ-5.
“This Jeep is a complete frame off restoration!
No rust anywhere! Frame sandblasted and painted. Both sides of every body panel soda blasted to bare metal. All body panels are original.
Has seat belts and all lights, turn & brake lights work. Temp gauge is the only thing that does not work.
New brakes, lines, wheel cylinders, clutch, gas tank, tires and fuel pump. Carb professionally rebuilt- runs perfect!
This Jeep is Parade or show ready!!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
Has an updated motor and the brakes need work.
“This is actually a Ford MB for people that know a lot about these but most people know them as a cj2a. and for the most part they are the same. This truck runs. Its has a 265 v8 in it that runs good. it has an extra gear put in the transfer case and you can get it up to freeway speeds. it has bigger axles put in the rear end to compensate for the added hp and torque. The registration is current and i have pink in my name. 4wd works.
the brakes need work. I think the master cylinder leaks and eventually you will loose all the fluid. Other than what I have described the truck is stock. I can start it for you and will include the new battery I bought and a new master cylinder i bought. I just dont have the time and could use the money more than a project right now.”

“Great hunting vehicle. 1952 willys jeep. Has new fuel pump, carburetor, shocks and tires. High rack also has a seat that matches the back.”
Marty spotted this crazy looking thing.
“I have for sale a home built street legal buggy thing that looks like an old military willys jeep. It has a FULL drivetrain, suspension, engine, transmission, dash, heater and electronics out of a 1978 Subaru brat! Does not run currently (I got it that way)! I was going to get it going but I’ve moved on to something else. It will need to be trailered or delivered for the right price. It’s all there and the top is in great shape! Engine turns over smooth by hand but that’s as far as I got with it. It does have a clean wa title and yes it s street legal!”

I don’t know how well it will clean up, but it’s a neat vintage top.
“Older Jeep top in good condition. No cuts or tears and plastic windows are solid and clear. The canvas could be cleaned and/or even dyed for better appearance.

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $800
(07/30/2015) Not sure how much value is here. No description provided.
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $3000. It’s been recently painted.
(02/07/2015) Still needs some work.
“1953 Willys CJ3B, rare / unique High Hood model jeep. Body is very good. Frame is very good. On road / off road hobby project. Don’t call expecting perfection, this is a work in progress. Have completed lot’s of work to it. 302 V-8 engine runs, & sounds good.
Three speed transmission, dual exhaust, headers. Lock-out hubs. Tires are not good, but nice aluminum rims. Have been completing shade-tree bodywork and paint. Military OD green at this point, looks good from 10′.
Overall, jeep needs little more TLC. No top, no doors. ( Period gas can and gas can holder can be purchased separately for $125.00). (Period Army footlocker for tool storage in back, can be purchased separately for $65.00). (9,500 lb. winch with wired remote can be purchased separately for $500.00).
New parts: brake shoes, wheel cylinders, some brake lines, thermostat, headlights,Optima Red Top battery, manual choke, Reese hitch receiver.
Racing seats installed. Rhino liner applied to interior. Floorboards cut out and replaced.
Buyer could take the jeep body off and replace it with an early Bronco body, which would probably double it’s value, then sell the jeep body or put it on a jeep frame / drive-train..”
For five days in July of 1961, then-Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, Canyonland-legend Kent Frost, and a posse of government folks toured the Caynyonlands area by jeep, boat and helicopter. The huge tour was Udall’s idea, which probably explains why National Geographic was invited on the trip. Udall’s efforts paid off with Utah Democratic Senator Frank Moss proposing Canyonlands National Park (learn more here). The bill was signed on September 12, 1964. What an amazing trip that must have been.
The National Geographic published the story in the May 1962 issue under the title, Cities of Stone in Utah’s Canyonland. The magazine only published one jeep photo, but they did include a map with tiny jeeps showing the route taken.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
Runs and drives, but could use some work.
“56 Willys 4×4 Station Wagon, collector’s plates no yearly tabs to buy. New fuel pump, rebuilt carb, new rear brakes including wheel brake cylinders, grease seals and guard. Last owner told me motor was rebuilt and it appears to be rebuilt as compression checks out and is uniform between all 6 cylinders. Has Willys Super Hurrican straight 6. Motor runs quite. Bought for fun and bug out, while working on it to get it on the road I realized my disability makes it to difficult and is to hard on me, so hopefully you will benefit from my misfortune. You can drive it on property to see it does drive, but this old girl does need restoration.”
