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 .

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. Looks like it might fit a CJ2, CJ3, CJ3B, or possibly and M38, but not really certain which model it might fit. Fasteners are a little aged but still work. Very serviceable.”
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.

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.”

“I am selling my classic 1948 Willy’s Jeep. This is a fun little car, but I should sell it to make ends meet for my last year of school. Here is a little info on the Jeep:
-It has a 1971 Ford 302 engine from a mustang in it (V8)
-Has a working transfer case to go between 4×2 and 4×4
-Has a clean Colorado Title (Vintage car registration so you don’t have to pass emissions)

Looks like lots of work was put into this Slat Grille.
“Willys Slat Grille DOD 12-24-41 National Show Winner! A rare opportunity to buy a true blue chip grade WWII Jeep! Slat Grill WWII jeeps are considered by many collectors to be one of the most desirable & valuable of all war time jeeps. This particular jeep was delivered on Christmas Eve, which is quite cool by itself. Slat Grilles are known for their long list of early characteristics. These parts are quite rare and demand big money when sold. This jeep has all those items correctly done. The list includes: NOS A/C air cleaner, solid wheels with Good Year tires, gas & amp gauge, early thin needle speedo, early round exhaust, early type radiator, hinged filterette box, zippered bottom seat cushions, early type T-84, early Ross steering box, scalloped rear axle shafts, split back seat frames, two hinge tool box doors, early type hood, early type intake manifold, early type rivet oil pan, early type leaf springs (fronts are NOS), early pedal pads and arms, early type battery tray, Purolator oil filter, early generator, & small dip stick, Willard Optima battery, etc… This jeep would be very hard to duplicate today and the cost would easily exceed $75K. If you have additional question please call.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7950
(07/28/2015) Looks like a solid build.
“I have for sale a 1952 Willy’s Jeep. It was restored about 10 years ago and still looks great. You can see in the pictures the paint is great and the top looks almost new. It has been modified and a GM V-6 engine was installed. It still has the manual 3 speed transmission and front and rear axles. It has front disk brakes and stops great. As you can see it has 60 Chevy truck tail lights, dual exhaust, and a roll bar and seat belts has been installed. The interior looks great and has a center console which is a good place to mount a radio of your choice. I drove the Willy’s to the cruise-in at Northern Tools in Burlington last Saturday evening and this little Willy’s ran great and will draw lots of attention. Even though the seats look great I have another complete set of seat covers that will go with the sale. Also included is a Bikini top that has never been installed on the Jeep. This Willy’s is a outstanding driver but with a little detail could be made into a show car. I am retired and can be reached most of the time by phone or email but please NO txt as I do not answer txt.”
