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 .
Joe forwarded this site. He writes, “Here’s a link from G503.com (from years ago) with lots of pics of a NOS engine found in the most unlikely of places….. the warehouse of a company that made wooden shipping crates for the Army. It’s an interesting story….. especially for those restoring their M38’s back to original stock condition.”

“This a early Willy’s jeep. This is early year with the split windshield that flips up. I can’t give you a definitely year, the data plate was removed. This was a barn find from the mountains. Body needs work but it’s all there. Was going to do some kind of project either rat rod or rock crawler. Just haven’t had the time to mess with it and I’m moving. I do have a 4cyl Willys engine that came with it, or a 4.0l straight six that came out of a 1996 Cherokee that I’ll in. This does not run right now but a great cheap start to an awesome project.

“We have three new reproduction Willys CJ3A Body Tubs. These all have a minor dent somewhere. They will fit the CJ2A as well. The only real major difference between the 2A and 3A is the 3A rear wheel house is about 2″ shorter than the 2A. It gives you more room. The body will fit either frame without a problem. These are in black primer.
We do not hold items, Ship items, or do price dickering over the phone.
Come visit the store at 6654 Lafayette Road in Chickamauga. We are on the south side of the battlefield on the main road through the center of the park. We have many other jeep parts and accessories for old and new.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $100.
Lots of tread left on these east coast dogs.

This jeep has landed on a variety of craigslists. No pics provided.
“This is a 1948 Willys Jeep with a collectors engine, a 1955 Chev 265CI V-8 that has been totally rebuilt and bored .030. It has 750-16 six ply tires, a 20 gallon fuel tank and a one piece front seat, it has a winch on the front and there are dual wheel adapters for the back. It has the one wire alternator system, an electric fan, booster springs. A big sheet of metal protects the bottom for rough going.
After the rebuild project I drove it about 5 miles, then a heart attack plus crohns disease made me park it in the shed and I haven’t been able to use it, I have owned it almost 50 years so somebody else should have it now. I have pictures but so far I haven’t been able to load them into this ad, anybody interested can let me know via email if they would like to see them. It has a complete metal body and the paint job is dark blue and gold, some paint has started to peel in storage but a new owner would paint it a color they like anyway. :-)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
(08/30/2013) Looks like the dash has a couple of former speaker holes.
“I have a Willy’s jeep titled as a 1961. This is a very solid body with minimal rust. Previous owner bed lined the inside of the tub. The floors are solid as well as the other body parts. I have the hood both front fenders tub and windshield frame with un cracked window, it also has a newer gas tank. I do not have the running gear or frame anymore just the complete body. I also have other little parts that can go with it. I would have liked to build this jeep but I have way to many car and truck projects that I would like to get done. This jeep has a CLEAN COLORADO TITLE. The last two pictures are what the jeep looked like complete. When I got the jeep it had a v8 and all of the running gear was trashed so my plan was to put that body on a newer jeep frame etc..”
UPDATE: Still Available
(10/26/2013) It’s a project.
“Needs to be put back together complete rebuild. Body has been blasted repaired and painted. Still could really use some attention… everything is there completely clean and ready for assembly.

Susan Katz Keating writes about the loss of her jeep. At one point shoe compares how her jeep viewed itself vs. how other vehicles view it. I found it funny.

Here’s a nice shot of a jeep pulling a float in a parade that Marc spotted.

This looks good. The windshield is unusual.
“Open the garage and cruise the backroads! Be the only one on the block to to own an early CJ, this is the same thing your grandpa rode in. New tires, year old paint, new alternator, starts and runs great, 65 years old but looks great and works good, Climb a hill better than most newer vehicles or ride in a parade! Lots of time and money has been invested.”
UPDATE: Was listed for $4500. **Status Unknown**
Sounds like some solid updates.
“This is a modified 1952 M38 military jeep. This is very solid and not rusty. It has a 1974 mustang II motor that runs good as well as an automatic transmission and power steering. It has axles from a 1965 CJ5 and will go faster than 45 mph. It needs the metal brake lines replaced on the axles because they are not there from the axle swap. It has the original Dana 18 transfer case and the four wheel drive works. This jeep was built in 1976 and has been sitting ever since in storage. This is not a junky jeep made for the woods to beat up and trash. With a little work this can be a great daily driver. The 1976 white top is still in very good condition. This has a clear TN title.
Is that a hunting platform on top?

“SELLING AS/IS IAM THINKING BILL OF SALE ONLY I WAS TOLD THE GUY THAT OWNS IT SEEN THE TITLE YEARS AGO BEEN IN FAMILY BOUGHT NEW WITH A PLOW ON BACK NEEDS RESTORE BODY NOT BAD NEED MORE INFO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1966
Robin spotted this funny ad. The price looks good. A beard is recommended.
“Here it is… One of perhaps the most amazing 1966 Jeep CJ5’s ever built. Why you ask with a slightly skeptical tone??? Well I’ll tell you why my friend: because I’m the guy trying to sell it soooo, naturally, it is the most amazing CJ5 ever built and it could be all yours for a mere $1966. But I’m not biased at all…
I suppose your next question would be: Why are you asking $1966? If you have to ask that, well, I just hope you can make the connection all on your own… Now on to the magical details this little beast holds within!!
Year-1966
Engine-The good ol’ Willys 4 cylinder that would keep on chugging through a nuclear holocaust.
Trans-3 speed manual, plus reverse!!
Brakes-manual
Steering-manual
Transfer Case-you guessed it, manual
Body-amazingly straight, no rust!
Full roll cage
Seats-yep, got them too
Wiring-all pretty new
A few more tasty morsels to chew on: It has new brakes on three wheels, the fourth drum didn’t want to slid off as easy and my buddy doing the brakes apparently wasn’t in the fightin’ mood to persuade it, hence why there is an extra set of pads sitting in the back. Maybe you will have more motivation. And some WD40. And a hammer.
Yes, it runs. It needs a new carb though, they are about $130. I wake up every morning with the best intentions to order one, then I look out the window, see a squirrel, and the thought is lost until the next morning. It has happened more than you know and I honestly don’t see it stopping anytime soon. Long story short, you’ll want to buy a new carb! Now for some Q & A time!!
Q: Can I test drive it?
A: Nope, unless you fork over the cash. In that case you’re free to do whatever your little heart desires. I don’t have registration on it and don’t plan on putting any on it. I will fire it up so you can hear the rumble of all those ponies though.
Q: Do you have a top for it?
A: No. Tops are for wimps. It has a rollcage, that’s plenty.
Q: Would it make a good daily driver?
A: In my opinion… Heck no! If you want a daily driver buy a Civic. This is late 40’s technology that somehow made it into the 60’s. If you are looking at buying a manly vehicle such as this I feel this shouldn’t need to be explained this to you.
Q: Do I have to have a beard to own it?
A: No, but highly recommended.
Q: Why are you selling it?
A: I was drinking, bought it from my best friend, now it is taking up precious real estate in the garage. I want it gone. I have no desire to drive it as I’m a big feller, which does not mix well with Jeeps.
Well that ought to get you started, it needs a little tinkering but it is one heck of a solid Jeep! Now lets talk about the price… I’m motivated. Want it gone. Like yesterday. As previously mentioned I’m asking $1,966.00 but feel free to throw out a number. I won’t get offended, I’ll just tell you no if I don’t like it. Pretty simple really. If you get offended that easy, I feel sorry for you.
Trades you ask? Sure, I’ll entertain trades. No vehicles though, trying to reduce that count by one. Got something nifty? Worth a lil’ something? Just let me know.”
This has an unusual dash. It looks like the entire dash plate has been replaced.

This might be worth a look.
“I have a 1951 Willys Wagon for sale. This is the rare Parkway Conversion model which has the “barn style” rear doors but with rear side windows cut in from the factory. This is a 4 wheel drive vehicle with high and low range for a total of 6 forward and 2 reverse gears. The body is in very good shape with a few small areas of rust on the exterior. The drivers floor board has been repaired previously and will need to be redone. The engine has been replaced with a Ford y-block. The engine runs strong. The battery is new. The brakes do not work. I have a new master cylinder that I will include with the sale. I am currently restoring another Willys wagon back to original and then I was going to do a “restomod” with this one. I am storing it at a friends house in Wills Point and they are in the process of selling their home so I have to move it. I wish I would have started with this one first as it is in much better shape than the one I am working on. I live in Allen and as I said the vehicle is in Wills Point. I have included a link to my Photobucket page and a Youtube video so that you can see more pictures and a video of the engine running. I do not want to drive out there to meet tire kickers. I want to have a solid deal and then plan on meeting the buyer out there with their trailer and then complete the transaction. I will provide a bill of sale. If you want any further information or pictures let me know and I will provide whatever I can. If you have been looking for this type of vehicle you know this is a good deal for a wagon with the body in as good as shape as this. Please send an email if you are interested and I will respond with my phone number.
I have also included a picture of what this can look like when completed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
Can’t tell much from the pic.
