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.
The winch alone is probably worth $500 if it works.l
“This Jeep is for parts or restoration. It is not in driving condition. The body has a bit of rust, but not much considering the age. The transmission and transfer case are installed. The engine has the head removed, but included. The jeep has an old Warn 8K winch on it, not sure if it works. I don’t have a title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2950.

“1946 4×4 Willys Jeep VIN # 22582, Never had it started, original 4 cylinder engine is free, tires are good, good windshield and frame, still on the original 6 volt system, have many new parts to go with it, this one would make a easy restoration project.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/03/2015) Engine starts, but vehicle doesn’t run.
“Up for sale is a mostly original 1966 Nissan Patrol. The engine, transmission, transfer case, drivelines, and axles are all complete. There are fold down seats in the rear, a spare tire holder and removable hard top. Only 62,000 original miles! The inside of this is complete as well, ready to restore or make it exactly how you want it. The body is in pretty good shape, not a lot of rust or dents with the original grill and headlamps. This Patrol will start, but it is not currently drive-able due to years of sitting. Once this rare vehicle is restored, or turned into a custom trail rig, it will be a head-turning classic. Serious inquiries only, please.”

<– Day 7 – Sat. Apr. 18th: No Scum Allowed | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 9 – Mon. Apr. 20th: Recovering from the Plague –>
I stuck to the bed on Sunday. I’m not terribly sick by any means, just semi-tortured by a continuous cough that won’t let me sleep or talk much without coughing. Hopefully with a day of rest, we’ll be ready to go by Tuesday.
On the positive side, I’ve had time to read a couple books. I’m particularly enjoying a book called Great Stagecoach Robberies of the Old West. As the title indicates, it is a history of major stagecoach robberies!

This 1955 article in the September/October issue of Willys News highlights how dealer Elmer Horstmeyer uses his service jeep to generate more revenue.
Blaine shared a link to this early Willys Overland history article.

All three look rough.

Runs, but needs some bodywork.
“1960 Willys Wagon, with the original 6 cylinder and 3 speed transmission, and solid axle four wheel drive. The brakes have been re-done, and a new battery installed. The old Willys runs good, and goes down the road good. The Willys still has the original seats. The previous owner repaired the floorboards and the rust above the right side rear wheel well. I added a photo of the left rear wheel well, which is the only rust spot on the Willys Wagon.”
Runs.
“1942 willys jeep for sale. Runs and drives great. 4×4 works good. Original engine and tranny. Everything works great. Lots of original parts and some extra stuff added to it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550.
Seems like a good price.
“This would be a good project or parts vehicle.”
Top rims pictured need a closer examination.
“I have 4 WWII combat wheels for a Willy MB and Ford GPW. In the first picture, the bottom two rims look goo. The top let rim has a very small amount of metal eroded away around the valve stem hole. The top right rim has holes (you can stick your fingers through) around the valve stem area (shaded area in picture)”
http://dayton.craigslist.org/pts/4984762036.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Looks to have value. No title.
I have an old Willy’s jeep CJ2A I need to sell. Been in a barn over 20 years till the barn blew down. It does not run and cannot find title but it is a solid jeep for its age.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Best Offer.
It’s a project with a DJ body on a CJ (of some kind) chassis.
“Up for sale is my completely stripped down 1956 CJ-3 Willy’s Jeep Project. This has been sitting in my workshop for long enough, so its time for someone else to take it over. I learned a lot on this project – the biggest thing being that I don’t have time for a project like this!
The engine was removed in the fall of 2013 and the block planed and bored by Monarch. The head was planed as well. You get everything you see in the pics. It should be everything you need to rebuild with the exception of a gasket kit and either a new exhaust manifold or a heat riser kit to repair the one that you see on the bench. The body seems to be from a DJ best I can tell, but the chassis and running gear is definitely CJ (i.e. it is 4WD, etc and all the data plates point to CJ).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
Contrary to the license plate, this jeep appears to have plenty of time left.
“Took out of service a few years ago it needs Front brakes and fuel sending unit. Been sitting in my garage for about 3 years and ran great when parked for repairs. It’s got all new steering joints, Lost interest after that. Three speed in-line six”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
(10/24/2014) The body looks a little rough.
“Selling my one of a kind rat rod. 1953 Willys CJ3B high hood jeep with a 1934-1936 international pickup cab welded into the tub of the jeep. The jeep is equipped with a 283 Chevy motor with an edelbrock aluminum manifold and 450 cfm edelbrock carb, close ratio 4 speed manual trans, dana twin stick transfer case, and warn overdrive. The jeep also has new rancho 2 inch lift leaf springs on all four corners. 31/10.50/15 tires on chrome wheels. The jeep has been converted to hanging pedals with hydraulic clutch, GM title steering wheel and a bench seat made to fit with the jeep. Now for the International cab I have the windshield frame in place connected to the cab, original back glass, chrome peep mirror and inside mirror, cowl windshield piece and a few other pieces and both original doors. I have a really cool old trunk I put in the back of the bed for extra storage. This rat rod does run and drive and is preaty dam fast!! All lights work and could be street driven if desired (would not recommend driving on the highway). I have a clean Colorado title for the 53 Willys”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/25/2015) Body and front clip are all fiberglass. Motor needs rebuild.
