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: Was $1500. **SOLD**

Marc spotted this body for sale. It might be the same body that was discussed in this G-838 thread.
“This may be your last opportunity to own a new old stock (NOS) M151A2 replacement body. As near as I can tell, this is one of the last three known to exist.
If you know anything about the M151 series of vehicles, you’re probably aware that it is a unibody constructed Jeep. That means that it did not have a separate frame. The the radiator, engine and transmission, drive can train and suspension components were all bolted directly to the body. While that saved some weight, it made it doubly important that the strength of the body was not compromised by rust. Unfortunately,a M151 body has all kinds of nooks and crannies to trap mud and moisture and start the corrosion process, however, this M151 body is clean as a whistle! Brand new, never been used!! It doesn’t get any better than this!!!
I can deliver this body to a buyer who is traveling to the Military Vehicle Preservation Association meet at Camp Delta this year April 20-26. Camp Delta is in Lodi California.
This body would be a great start for an all NOS parts (they are all available !) constructed brand-new M151A2 Jeep with 0 miles. The only one on the planet!”
UPDATE: Price bumped to $5000.

What you are about to see is a rare 1962, Willy’s Utility Wagon. This is an original survivor and was the very first one off the production line in 1962. It has the original engine, frame, and body with matching numbers. Its teal blue paint mimics its original factory paint color. The exterior and interior is all real wood which is Koa and red oak trim. It has a Hurricane 226 motor that purrs like a kitten. This unique Willy’s Wagon is a four wheel drive with a high and low in good working condition. It also is a manual three speed transmission on the floor in good working condition. We believe this was either an ambulance or city, county, or state work vehicle because of the original light on the roof. All electrical is working and we have reached over 70mph with it for highway driving (but its not recommended due to the speed limits back then were 55mph). This is truly a rare unique piece of history because there is only a handful of original survivors left in the world and being #1 off the production line.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5800.

Don visited the Pennsylvania Military Museum a couple days ago and discovered it houses a Bantam BRC-40. Had I known this we would have made an effort to get there during our trip in 2013. Thanks to Don for taking some photos for us!
The Pennsylvania Military Museum is located on Business 322 in Boalsburg; three miles east of State College. It is one of 26 historic sites and museums on the Pennsylvania Trail of History, administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC).

UPDATE: If you know anything about this, please contact me at d@ewillys.com and I will relay the information to Rodney.
Rodney’s custom drag jeep and trailer disappeared from his Eastern Oregon property three months ago. Unique to this rig is that it is a true four wheel drive drag jeep. Since the jeep was designed mostly for drag racing, he hopes people will keep a look out for it around the west.
Whomever absconded with it has likely painted it. Here are a few specs and photos:
“-small block chevy
-manual liberty 2 speed
-tilt fiberglass body
-quick change rearend
-tittanium brakes”
UPDATE: I thought this included a Perkin’s Diesel in the jeep. I now believe the Perkins is an extra motor, because the motor in the jeep is an f-head.
This runs and drives, but will need some body work.
“1965 cj6 runs and drives very little rot needs a fender no top i have many rare parts that can go with it .perkins diesel with a 4 speed, split bench seat , Dana 44 with 1 piece axles ,Dana 30 front ,gears a lift kit ect ect but for 2500 you get just the jeep very hard to find any questions call me thanks ”

This is a late body with all the improvements.This body kit sells for $3750.00.You are getting the frame and everything else for $250.00! The frame is finished and has all new spring mounts (8), battery tray, front bumper with gussets, rear crossmember with gussets, pedal mount and front shock mounts. This frame has no rust out. All welding is completed. You will not find a better frame anyplace. This was a complete Jeep and comes with everything that I have for it except the motor. Comes with trans, transfer case, front and rear axles and much more.This Willys has a clear Delaware title in my name. All the hard work is done. I have much more than the asking price invested. I need room for another project.”

“4 Goodyear Terra tires and rims set.
The tires are 31″ tall x 15.50″ wide on a 15″ tall rim.
Tires have great tread, see pictures for actual measurements with a caliper.
Two tires have a tread depth of 0.6625″ and the other two have a depth of 0.4740″.
These tires are made for off road only. They are bias ply and have AWESOME grip in the mud. They are a small version of the type of tires that monster trucks use like grave digger, etc.
They are already installed on super wide rims with large backspacing which allows a stock type vehicle to install these tires (the rims make the tires stick out from the vehicle, making it look much wider and not rub on the inside of the frame or suspension)
The rims have a 5 on 5.5″ bolt pattern, which is the stock bolt pattern for older jeeps, scouts, broncos, etc.
The set has never been stored outside, only inside out of the weather and sun, so there is very little rust and no dry rot or cracking. ”
UPDATE: Still Available.
