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 .

I’ve caught up on a few things, but am still behind on eWillys. So, just a few posts tonight. More tomorrow. Also, I ordered the book proofs AND purchased www.amberpanels.com (not sure why I didn’t think to purchase that domain name sooner).
We had two blue-sky days of camping at Ohanapecosh and ZERO cell reception! The second night was a little noisy, thanks to a visit by the local Boys and Girls Club at two nearby camping spots. Oh well, at least it was pretty! Here are a few photos.
This photo op was taken on the west side of White Pass heading toward Rainier. That’s Zollie (aka Mr. Personality) in my arms. He’s 1/2 dog and 1/2 . . . cat?
Here’s our campsite with all of the National Park behind us (plus a few bears, too). I married into that bed . . . yes, we may camp, but we sleep comfortably!
I was having some fun taking pictures. No shortage of trees to shoot. I liked the way this tree fell perfectly straight, but bent with the uneven ground.
I was looking up from my camp chair and thought this would be a great shot. 30 photos later and I think I got it :-)
Zollie is pretending to be a dog, but that didn’t last long. He got to the beach and warmed himself. He didn’t like the idea of swimming. The river is crystal clear at this point . . . beautiful!
There used to be a bridge that spanned from the top of the bare spot on the right to an unseen spot to my left. It was washed out in 2006 and never replaced. It used to be a great trout spot, but they don’t stock it any more I was told.
Here I am strumming my six string . . . my attempt to keep the bears away . . . and drown out the noise from the G&B Club kids.
Sebastian’s in Colombia for a week and forwarded this article regarding a jeep train in Colombia. Here are a few photos and the link to the article (it is in Spanish).
James spotted this Fire Jeep for sale through a government liquidation auction. This auction is over on Thursday.
“1977 Jeep Model CJ-5 with fire fighting equipment, 4wd.VIN J7F83EE051601. With a 232 CI 6 cylinder gasoline engine driven through a 3 speed manual transmission and a rear mounted winch. Pump has been removed. Operating condition unknown.”

UPDATE: **Sold** Was priced at $1500.
Marty spotted this old racer with a f-head. It’s got the old mini-terras, the mismatched rims, patched body panels, and a hole in the hood (who needs a scoop for racing?). Looks like a fun little rig.
“I have a 1944 willys jeep for sale. It ran when parked but has been sitting for 2 yrs. It has an f head 4 cylinder and 4 speed with depend t case wich means you can select front, rear, and 4 wheel drive. The rear end is locked. It was an old race jeep and would take a bit of work to be street legal again. Would be a cool wheeler project. It does have windshield frame not in pic though.”
From early Monday through Wednesday Ann and I will be camping at the Ohanapecosh campground in Mount Rainier National Park. There was no cell service when we were there last year and I expect the same lack of service this year. So, I won’t be answering emails or doing updates for a few days.
The book is done . . . now just have to build the PDF, order a proof, and do some marking stuff. 🙂

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Listed as a 1942 and a CJ-3A, the body and windshield appear to be M-38 or repro.
“CJ3A – Buick Oddfire v6 – 3 speed – dana 18 tcase – dana 27 front? – offset dana 41 or 44 rear axle – 35×12.50×15 pro comp mud terrians.
I have owned this jeep for a couple years now, my wife started off-roading the LJ we have and I have a RZR-S so this has just been sitting in the garage. it runs, drives, 4wd works.:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150.
“Hard top and doors for Willys jeep. This is an aluminum top and doors made by Metro Engineering. It is a civilian version of the military “cab enclosure”. This model is an “arctic top”. The top is in good shape with all glass, but rear window is cracked. The front was modified to fit a different windshield frame, so 2 corners and the nose are missing. Some fabrication would be needed to install with whatever w/s frame you’re using.. The w/s frame pictured is included. Should fit any of the flatfenders maybe others. I am willing to deliver up to 10 miles away and maybe further with gas money. $150 O.B.O.
This includes an inline flathead 6.

This has a MB/GPW Body. The rear axles appear to be military, too.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep Project
4 Cyl overhead valve engine
Original 3-speed transmission
Over $1000 of wheels and tires”
It hasn’t run in 25 years, but there might be some value here.
“This is a complete 1953 Willy’s CJ3B. I bought it intending to restore it, but never got to it. It has all original differentials, transfer case transmission and engine. The differentials and transfer case are in good order. The engine ran 25 years ago when someone last drove the vehicle. The top of the transmission had been removed and the inside is very rusted. Likely the transmission needs replaced. The body is pretty good. The back part of the tub where the back seat sits is rusted. There is surface rust in other places. The vehicle is rough, but restorable, and almost all there.
Asking 1200.00 or best offer. Might consider a trade, but would prefer cash.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
The paint job suggests this might have been nice at some point; not so much now.
“good project for a hunting vehicle or crawler!

missing is the seats,windshield. has a winch-condition unknown.
