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 .

“What was supposed to be a rattlecan overhaul, turned into a full blown restoration that consisted of over 700 hours of labor and a significant monetary investment. This Willys has been a southern California native since new with very little rust, and has not had any accidents nor has it endured farm work, off road abuse or butchering by its previous owners.
It started as a solid and original foundation that we expertly crafted into what is being offered for sale now. As a father and son team with over 40 years of automotive mechanical, engineering and restoration experience, we undertook this project with personal pride and without the intent of selling it. However, circumstances have changed, new projects are on the horizon, and it is now being offered for sale. We have the clean CA title and current registration in possession.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.

The truck runs excellent. everything operates the way it should. the engine sounds like a sewing machine, you can barely hear it running.
good tread on tires.
all body is in excellent condition. one issue being is rust in the bottom of the tailgate. you can tell it has been stored indoors most of its life.
Bed wood slats are also in excellent condition.
This truck goes down the road at 55-60 mph no problem.
what it needs is to have the leaf springs re-arched, and maybe a gasket replaced on the gear box. it has a very slow leak. I always check it before it is driven though. and it functions just fine.

“this jeep is a project, it is almost finished. my son and i bought it, put some time and money in it and basicallly lost interest. between us we have 5 other vehicles so this one is just one too many, we are bored with it, and i have some work i would like to do in the garage on the other jeep. the price is negotiable of course. all that is left to make it a driver is a mounted battery, gas tank, gauges, and the drivetrain controls. the title is clear, reg is current, and its on non op. here is how it sits:
axles are original, dana 25 and 41
t-case is original, dana 18
tranny is an sm465 fitted with an advance adapter
two inch body lift
tires have full tread they are 32 inch bfg all terrains.
front hubs are warn
engine is an odd fire buick v6
body is fiberglass, windshield is original metal frame, glass has a crack in it.
steering column is a gm unit.
optima redtop battery
manual brakes and steering
the engine runs like a champ. all new ignition components, rebuilt carb, and new fuel pump. the drivers side exhaust needs to be ran. all the lights work, alternator is good, it has a painless wire kit installed. it is ready for gauges. ignition is push button start. when finished it would easily be worth double my asking price. the body and paint alone would cost 4k.”
I spent Saturday wrestling with our plumbing. A simple replacement of a spigot outside the house turned into several trips to Lowes! Simultaneously, we dug up around the pond to figure out where it was leaking. Once the pipes were exposed, the leaking stopped. Go figure! So, no updates for Sunday.
Congratulations goes to my daughter Kasia. She graduates from East High School in Salt Lake this June. She’s been accepted into a special science program at the University of Utah. However, she’ll be delaying college for a year, because she’s been accepted into the FEMA/Americorps program, the same one Karson did last year. She reports to Maryland in July. Wow, they grow up fast!
The complete remodel done in only 10 days.
On Friday the Toledo Jeep Plant unveiled a Willys MB for a Veteran’s display. What makes this story unusual is that from start to finish the team only had five weeks to find a jeep, get it delivered, and rebuild it. That’s a pretty short window! The person tasked with finding the jeep was former plant manager Jerry Huber. Naturally, he turned to eWillys to locate the jeep. He shared his adventure in an email.
Jerry wrote, “I e-mailed you a couple of months ago to congratulate you on the ewillys website and to tell you how much I enjoy it. Well, here’s a short story you’ll enjoy. About five weeks ago, I was contacted by some of my friends at the Toledo Jeep Plant asking if I could help them find a donor Willys Jeep that could be turned into a Memorial Replica for a Veterans display at the Plant. After accepting the challenge, since they wanted it completed for Memorial Day weekend, I scoured your website for potential vehicles and since we were operating on a small budget it was pretty tough.
When I spotted a 42 Willys in Texas with an asking price of $995, the folks at the Plant immediately jumped on it. The seller was so impressed with the intended purpose that he offered to deliver it to the plant in return for a Plant Tour and a couple of Tee-shirts. We rec’d the Willys at the Plant on May, 10th and the mechanics, body and paint crews went to work immediately.
The jeep from Wimberly, Texas, that is now on display in the Toledo Jeep Plant
The Jeep workers and the current Plant Management really got behind the project and gave it their full support. Special kudos to the team from Jeep that pulled of the restoration in such a short time. Finding the donor Willys was a first step and this would not have happened without your ewillys site. Thanks for all your effort to sustain the Willys Jeep heritage.”

Stock: WILLY
Engine Size: 4 CYL
Transmission: 4 SPEED

SHOW QUALITY RESTORATION AND LOADED UP WITH ALL THE ACCESSORIES. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK ON THIS JEEP IT IS HIGHLY DETAILED. HAS A VERY RARE RECOILLESS 106 mm RIFLE WHAT WAS USED TO TAKE OUT TANKS. THE RIFLE IS ITS OWN SEPARATE PIECE AND WILL COME OFF THE JEEP TO SIT ON A TRIPOD. FOR THE TRUCK DISPLAY, THERE ARE SEVERAL ARTILLERY SHELLS, RADIO WITH HEADPHONES, SHOVELS AND MORE. THE RIFLE WAS CAPABLE OF TAKING OUT A TARGET 8500 YARDS AWAY. THERE IS A 50 CALIBER RIFILE THAT IS ATTACHED TO IT THAT WAS USED FOR SPOTTING, BASICALLY THEY WOULD AIM AND SHOOT THE 50 CAL. TO MAKE SURE THE AIM WAS CORRECT BEFORE SHOOTING THE 106 CAL RIFLE. THIS JEEP WAS PREVIOUSLY DISPLAYED AT THE ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
The trunk is an interesting feature.
“There is nothing more rugged and endearing than a Willys Jeep. . .especially one from the early 1950s with some patina. This 1953 Willys CJ3B is almost completely original and has acquired some battle scars over the years. Nothing serious. . .just enough to add some character. If you’re into off-roading or just want a beast to drive around, this Willys with a factory Hardtop, just may be the ticket for you. I know I have had a blast with it over the past 18 years cruising around my property high in the Colorado Rockies. This CJ3B is listed with a starting bid of $1,000 and a reserve well below what it is worth.
This might be a good price.
“1948 Willys project

We have taken this Jeep on trail ride all over the country and had a lot of fun with it. We just don’t have the time we use to, and I don’t want to see it just sit.”
