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 .
Lee spotted this CJ-3b. It needs work.
“1953 Willys CJ3B with Chevy V8. Motor does run, needs fuel pump installed (have one), will fire with gas down carb.
Needs work, not a turn-key. Brakes, clutch, some wiring, have seats but need to be upholstered, no top or doors.
Have 2 military wheels to go with it as well.
Bill of Sale, no title.
Pretty solid project. Please email me with questions, put “’53 Willys” in title.”

“1961 CJ-6 Jeep. The Jeep is in very good condition given its a 1961! It drives very well and I’ve never had mechanical issues. The speedometer and gas gauge do not work. I currently have the gas tank sitting in the back so it’ll eventually need to be mounted underneath the car…I just haven’t had the time to address the aforementioned items. The Jeep has absolutely no rust!!!”

This is a project.
“Bought this for a project but have not found time to work on it so time for a new owner.
Has a Chevrolt V6 and automatic transmission. Will run and move but the wiring is a
nightmare! Interior was done in wood sometime in the past, hippy van style.
I had intention of changing to a small block V8 motor and doing the body over
but here it is. Asking $2800 not really looking for trades, I have to many projects already!
But if you have a trade offer you can run it by me, you never know! ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
No perfectly stock, but looks in good condition. The serial number is 18936, but appears to be missing indents. I can’t tell if it has a column shift or not either.
“This item for auction is a rare Willys CJ2A Jeep. This is a “VEC” (“Very Early Civilian”) model as it was produced almost immediately after World War II. The VECs share many parts with the legendary 1941 to 1945 Jeeps and is just as indestructible.
I bought this in August as something to tool around in and take out to the desert. Due to health concerns, I’m no longer able to drive it.
The Jeep starts, runs, steers, stops rides etc very well. The motor fires right up and once warmed up, it has an idle as quiet as a sewing machine. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, the clutch works great and I just redid the front and rear brakes. The front floor pans were patched in the last few years and are very solid. If you look underneath, you can see where it was repaired. There’s no major body rust and the frame is straight. I replaced the front bumper too.
The Jeep is currently registered though March and has a clear title. It is exempt from onerous emission control regulations.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
“1965 CJ6 Jeep
Miles: 66,699
Speedometer no longer works
4WD (works)
Wench (still works)
Asking Price $3,500. Will negotiate. Must be able to pick up at location.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(10/26/2012) This needs a transfer case and has an auto tranny.
“1959 Willys FC 170 pick up truck. One of 2,474 manufactured. 7000 lbs gross weight. Buick V6 engine. Automatic transmission. Needs transfer case. All parts are available. $4,500.”
I found this interesting photo on MiliBlog (http://miliblog.co.uk/?m=201102). It has some great details. The caption read “General Slim Driving a Jeep with Mountbatten”
Dave wanted to share this vintage image of an Experimental CJ-2 equipped with a Sprayer.
UPDATE: The winning bid on this was $144.
There can’t be too many of these around. I like it!
“This was bought at the Willys show in Jefferson City, MO in the ninties I just never found the right lamp to put it on. Has a tear (see picture) not very noticable and it has a few stains, maybe from moisture, some more noticable than others”
If you love fish and jeeps, these crazy trunks might be for you. You’ll need to be a size medium though.

(12/26/2012) The engine is out.
“Selling an old 1946 CJ2A Military type Jeep for parts or restoration. Most of the parts are there and will go with it, including the origional Willys flathead engine. Some of the parts have been taken off the jeep, but these jeeps are fairly simple to work on as you may know. The engine is out and was needing a valve job. It ran but smoked a little. I saw this same model go for over $8000 on ebay when restored. It has like new tires on it with full tread. The body and frame are solid but the body has a few rust spots.

Craig’s pic this week comes from the August 1956 issue of Willys News
Dave forwarded this beautiful version of Ms. Autolite perched on a Surrey.
Maury spotted this blog article by Brian Albrecht at Cleveland.com. It’s a great article detailing how some letters led David Keckan on a search for a jeep in his Grandfather was photographed.

Check out the interesting tarp setup. Looks pretty clever.
“Great view of what I think is a 1957 Jeep Forward Control pick-up in front of the Red River Jeep Trips Trailway Depot in Taos County New Mexico. “For reservations contact Jack Chambless Enterprises.” Standard size vintage postcard. Not postally used; no message written on the back. Nice crisp postcard with minor edge/corner wear.”
