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 .
Both may be projects.

Here are a couple pages from the 1944 Willys Overland Annual Report. I thought their inclusion of the Willys engine as an independent product was very interesting. As you can see they really thought there was a big market for it.
It’s just amazing how large the plant was and how little is left.
This might be worth a look.

“I have a 1954 army jeep. The jeep starts and runs very well. The body and frame is in excellent condition for the year. Has been taken very good care of over the years.

The speedometer and fuel gauge does not work the mileage showing about 8000 but I have no clue on correct miles if interested or have any questions I will be happy to try to answer them.

I think the seller will have to drop the price just a bit on this one!
“40’s model Willys jeep. Buick V-6. Radiator was stolen. It also has a missing alternator. The motor still turns. The rag top may be salvagable. 4-speed tranny.”

“Got a Willy’s jeep chassis that I started to restore don’t have the time or money anymore, if you want pics I’ll send them to you, I rebuilt the trans and back axle,t the engine does turn over. Might consider trades for a ATV or f150″
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(05/07/2014) This looks good, especially for the price. Includes an overdrive.
“Hello, up for auction is my 1953 Willys CJ3A. This Jeep is an excellent example of “survivor” and is mostly original. I am the 3rd owner of this Willys. I purchased it from the 2nd owner in 2012. He owned the Jeep from 1962 to 2012. I was told the Willys was owned by the State of Maryland from 1952 to 1962 but I have no documentation of this. The mileage currently shows as 51250 and is the original mileage.”
The Willys is a 1953 according serial number but is titled as a 1952, this is very common. The build date falls in November of ’52, often new vehicles were titled as the year they were sold in. The Jeep is mostly unmolested other than a repaint some years back by the 2nd owner. The paint is close to the original color. There is rust but the body is very solid. Sections of the hat channels, body sides where the floor meet them, and the rear panels are the worst of the rust. The floors and tool box botom are remarkably solid. If properly cared for the body will last for many years. The frame is solid and shows no cracking.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(05/14/2014) Hasn’t run in a while.
“Classic Jeep, needs restoration. Restoration had been started many years ago, but hasn’t been worked on for sometime. I am unsure if the transmission or engine was previously worked on. See pictures. These are pretty rare jeeps, I am selling because I don’t have the time or space to restore it. Email if interested. We have equipment on site, will need to be loaded onto trailer for transport. Clear Michigan Title.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/16/2014) Hasn’t run this year. Appears worth a look.
“1947 Jeep Willy’s manual transmission title : parts only
very good condition, very solid with very little rust
mostly original with all working parts
original 4 cylinder runs good, 4 wheel drive works well
all lights work.
has not been run this year, could use a little TLC but I don’t have the time.
Give me a call if your interested.”

Here’s a scam I didn’t know about. The ad was pretty convincing, because the ad title “Old jeep army navy usmc” was so poorly written in terms of keywords. The seller acts as if they don’t really know what they have.
Honestly, I thought I’d scored big. However, I had enough sense to email Josh and he deflated my bubble gently. Oh well, I’ll keep searching . . .
