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 never seen one of these, but I can’t say if this is rare or not.

UPDATE: Fixed the link. Thanks Glenn.
Dan wasn’t sure if this was a Traveler or a Parkway, but it sure looks good. It also has a government plate on the dash.
“A true classic! It’s been in the family for almost 50 years, and now it needs a good home. Between 1999 and 2000 I spent over $25,000.00 on improvements, including New Goodwrench 350, transmission and transfer case replacement, performance radiator, front and rear axles, odometer and speedo, and much more. Since I’ve only put about 2500 miles on it in the last 12 years, it’s time to let it go. I have all documentation. Also, a PTO with winch. Runs and drives great! Tires were new as well, but they have become quite weather checked, and should be replaced. Buyer responsible for shipping.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200
(01/14/2013) Looks like a solid jeep with a nice top. The front blinker lights are unusual.
“For sale or trade. 1948 Willys Cj2A. Not the original motor or steering. Good little hunting rig or restore project. I use it every summer.
$3200.00 I am keeping the jerry cans and holders, but the rack was made for the willys and will go with it”
It runs. I can’t say I ever thought of melding a CJ-5 and CJ-3B this way.
“1953 cj3b Buick v6, runs great. NY registration. great project.”

This is a project. It looks like the frame and running gear are post 1972 CJ-5.
“Project vehicle. Does not run. I’ll never get to this project. Was thinking I would find a running cj5 and swap this body onto it since the current frame has been cut/welded, etc. The body has been cut and welded a fair amount too on the floor pans/firewall/etc. Nice top and very little surface rust!
CJ5 frame, axles, Dauntless v6 engine with Willys CJ2A or CJ3A body.
Reply by e-mail if interested. I check e-mail in the evenings.
Would consider trading for a complete running LS1 or LS2 or possibly a rebuilt Inline 250/292”

After repairing a few more sonny-do-items around my parents’ house, I got a chance to pull the engine, transmission, and transfercase. As usual, a variety of expletives bounced off the less-than hallowed walls of the garage.
During the removal process I discovered that power steering box moves some when turning to the right. I *thought* it was a good idea to use the stock ’73 CJ-5 mounting unit to mount the steering, since I would have thought Jeep’s engineers would have been able to get that right, but it seems my place was misplaced. So, part of the rebuild process will be improving the mounting bracket.
On a side note, my father was busily managing the process from the kitchen. Everytime I went in the house he’d ask, “Is your transmission an automatic.”
“Yes, I’d say, but I’m changing to a T-18.”
“You know,” he’d say, “the manual is shorter than the automatic.”
“Yes, I’d say.”
“Ok, well good. You just need to be aware of that.”
By the time we had our third conversation about it, I was WELL aware! 🙂
Here are a few pics:
The cobwebs and dust on the hook suggest the garage’s engine pulley hasn’t been used in decades.
The engine is about to be freed.
The jeep sits just high enough to allow me to pull the tranny and tc out from under it. I’d like to say it was stellar planning, but it was really dumb luck.
There she sits, looking like she’s bleeding a bit. She and I had some good times, but our divorce will soon be finalized. Time for some thing different.
Marc forwarded some search results form a Canadian Archives website that included this neat photo of Major General F. F. Worthington standing in a jeep with a very unusual top.

(09/29/2012) This has some rust and could use some maintenance. It appears to have lots of good details.
“GREAT PROJECT. 4 WD. Converted to 12 volt. Body rust. Very good to excellent mechanical condition. Motor needs to be oiled and turned. It has been sitting for a while. Needs seats and windshield gasket.”
