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 .

Here’s an unusual t-shirt that celebrated the 20th annual Las Vegas Jeep Jamboree in 1991.
“Vintage 1991 Las Vegas 20Th Annual Jeep Club Jamboree Dumont T-Shirt – size L
Item is in very good (or better) pre-owned condition.
Item has printing on one side only.
Nice condition, no stains, tears, rips, holes (unless pointed out above).
Minor general signs of use can be expected, but none the less a very nice gently used item.”
UPDATE: I got this confused with a 1942 GPW from Little Falls that was on eBay last week. My bad.
“For auction is a Willys jeep. This jeep started life as a CJ2A, but was totally redone about 6 years ago to be a WW2 MB. It has the MB2A complete body and grill. This was done over exactly like an MB. It has the Willys 4 cylinder engine, but does retain the T90 CJ transmission. It is currently set up with a 12 volt battery, but does have a 6 volt wiring harness so would be easy to convert back to 6 volt should you choose. Comes with the SCR-510 radio with antenna, and the gas operated .30 cal machine gun and mount. This gun does not fire real ammunition and cannot be made to fire ammunition. The ammo box in the bustle basket is for carrying the oxygen and propane to operate the gun. This is an older project so it is not in show room condition, but is a great jeep for a re-enactor or for driving in parades. It turns a lot of heads.”

(10/21/2012) I have only posted a pic of the nicest jeep. The vin number listed doesn’t match a 1946 CJ-2A.
“what we have here are 3 1946 cj-2a,s. The red one is the old i found it in a barn story. this came from a garage in butler pa (home of the jeep). it had sat since 1963 on a dirt floor and had sunk into the frame rails. i got this jeep in about 1993 from a friend of the family. at the time i got it the buyer from the bantam motor car museum was after it, but had so insulted my friend that they were not going to get it for love or money. it has been in her family since it was brand new. all original documentation has been lost. when i got it, i did a complete frame off restoration. every nut, bolt gear and bearing was renewed or replaced. when i built the engine, it was bored, new freeze plugs, decked, head surfaced, etc. i built it to exactly factory specs. same with the axles, transmission, transfer case etc. nothing was spared in doing this right. the body is not perfect, but is very solid. my skills are mechanical, not body work. since restoration, this jeep has less than 1000 miles on it. it comes with a canvas top that need restitching, and the front bow need some attention. doors go with it and a spare set of door frames. all original air cleaner parts are included, as well as skid plates etc. this jeep while not exactly perfect, is in ecellent shape, and very complete.
the other two are invarious stages of reconstruction. the blue one is about 90% complete. the tan one started out as a column shift jeep (no i dont have the parts) and is about 50% complete. The blue one and the red one have clear pa titles in hand. the other one is applied for and should be here by shipping time, but there is no guarantee on that.
none of this will be parted out, it is one lot only. one complete and driveable, and two more to make one or two more from.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
It seems a good deal of work has been done. However, the windshield is cracked and it looks like it could use a little body work.

What the heck happened to that grille? It looks like the headlights were pulled straight out! Tooele is pronounced ” Too ill’ uh”.
“Lots of parts will come with this. 1944 WW2 GPW made by Ford: Has title. Jeep runs and drives. Has a postwar engine and trans. Has the data plate on the glove box door.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
This is rough. The body seems like a GPW, yet lacks a glove box.
“This is a 1944 GPW WW2 jeep made by Ford. It’s OD green, neat with a straight tub and body work done. Has GPW WW2 engine (but it does not match the frame). I had this engine inspected by an expert restorer who said it’s a good block. Has GPW tcase. Missing trans and data plates. Has a post war rear axle but i know of someone selling one for a reasonable price. This one has a post war heater added but i will include part of a dash from my parts tub to replace the glove box area for free. Many free parts will come with this. No title. I bought this with a bill of sale. Wife says it has to go so no more restorations for me. But this is an excellent candidate for a quality restoration. Has some rust in the hat channels. Will provide some replacement hat channels free. Serious inquiries only please. Will consider partial trade for bantam, world war II or korean war era 1/4 ton trailer. No texts please; my phone won’t support it. call or email, thanks”

This is a neat mailer.
“Original mailer non color folder , 8.5 x 3.5 folded , 8.5 x 11 unfolded . Shows Jeep from Russ Cooley Service Station , Hillcrest , Binghamton , New York.”
Pascal just purchased this jeep. Though it is four wheel drive, the serial number suggests it is a DJ-6. I looked up the serial number and I found one site that suggests the serial number is a DJ-6. Anyone know the DJ-6 serial numbers?
Pascal writes, ” I’m writing to you because I bought another jeep last weekend. (Yep my wife is still loving me…for how long? For a jeep life I hope!). I’m pretty sure that’s a DJ-6 1965 even if seller told me that was a CJ-6 1962. Serial number is 8605 10062. It’s also stamped on the frame.
It has two fuel tanks. It looks original. It also has 4×4 and I think a Meyer hard top. The mileage reads 29xxx miles. The motor’s serial number is 4J418884.”
UPDATE: These sold on eBay.
I believe this answers my question about the DJ-6 serial number. The DJ-6 model number is referred to as 8605.
UPDATE: Bill has an updated price structure for his book.
(10/31/2012) A couple weeks ago Glenn wrote me about a book he ran across call the “Doug and the Old CJ” by Bill Nelson. Based on Glenn’s recommendation, I wrote Bill and recently received a signed copy of my own. I still have a few books in front of it, but I’ll write a review once I finish it. I leafed through the book and it includes a nice collection of illustrations, too.
Bill published the book in 2009 and according to him, ” It was loosely based on my boy’s adventures with a 1960 cj5. Beyond a good kids story, I tried to present many mentoring lessons, shop safety, thinking out problems, it is ok to get flustered when talking to a girl, the proper way to talk to a girl, the value of knowledge, setting goals,and general constructive living.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
“Willys Truck (1960) Sits on a shortened Ford F150 4×4 frame and running gear. Motor is machine shop rebuilt fuel injected 5 liter (302). Trans is Ford AOD rebuilt at Norcal trans. A few of the features are a shortened bed, Mazda pickup rear sliding window grafted in, 280ZX hood inserts, custom headlight housings, minivan back seat serves as the truck bench seat and more. There was a fair degree of customization to the truck, however the motor, except for a necessary .030 bore increase at the machine shop, and the tranny was kept as stock as possible for durability’s sake.
I finished the truck around 5 years ago. I never used it a lot, but 2 ½ years ago it began to sit while I looked for myself a house. Now I’m in my house and it’s parked in my garage going to waste. The truck runs and drives and 4wheels very well but it needs some of the aftermarket mistakes and design mistakes I made, corrected.
There is less than 13,000 miles on the rebuild. Nothing was wrong, I just found that I am more interested in building the stuff than using it.
The paint needs re-done. I cheeped out on the paint and it didn’t survive the snowy winter that it set out side while I finished my garage. It needs a window replaced, replacement aftermarket power windows installed (I have new replacements), and aftermarket windshield wiper motor replaced (I have the new replacement). This should be considered a project truck as it has things to fix. The pic was taken approx 4 years ago.”
This has a fiberglass body. There’s some value here.

This looks solid.
“Up for sale is my 1952 CJ3A. Body is in great shape, for being 60 years old. Just a little bit of rust in the driver’s side floor. Tub and fenders are uncut. L-134 flathead 4-cylinder rebuilt two and a half years ago. Runs great. Transmission is a T90. Clutch is good, and shifts fine. Front and rear end are the original 5.38:1 ratio. Soft top, with doors, is included.
Engine picture shows a paper-type air filter. That has since been replaced with the proper oil-bath air cleaner. More pictures are available to anyone seriously interested. Need to sell ASAP. Low retail in the blue book is $5,175. Drive it as-is, and go almost anywhere, or restore it. Just an honest, bone-stock ol’ flatfender.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This has a few light mods and is missing its windshield.
