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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
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.

“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.

“1942 Jeep Ford Frame Willys Tub. Has a M38A1 Engine, cowling is cut near the hood, dash. has been cut for speaker, front seats are GPW, has a rebuild tab on the dash, very restorable but a mixed bag of parts..”
This is a print from a 35mm slide, but you are purchasing only the print and not the slide.
“Beautiful new professional print (6″ X 4″) from an old 35mm slide of a 1956 Willys Jeep pickup being used at the Douglas County Fire Department parked in the drive way of the fire house (KODACHROME TRANSPARENCY PROCESSED BY Kodak, date imprinted APR 60). Beautiful looking JEEP, Fire Engine Red, loaded with equipment. No idea where the photo was taken. If anyone can help I’d sure appreciate it. Nothing written on the slide. Much better than scan, crisp and clear. Any glare or distortion is from my digital camera. The ruler does not show up on the print.”

“I’m selling a ’42 GPW, GPW 23679 D.O.D. 4-29-42 I bought this one for parts for myself and now have no need for it. Figured I would list it here vs. taking it to the scrapper!
The frame is in good shape, the front horns are the best I have ever seen! just the Bubba bumper on the front and the civi attachment on the rear
The tub has rot on the left rear where the tail light hole and tool box floor would have been (I’m including a tool box section from another tub) floors need to be repaired/replaced- tool box lids are in good shape, but as mentioned before the tool box’s are themselves rotted….. the pioneer tool area is in good shape, some rot but repairable, dash was cut by previous owner to remove the guages but is included and can be stitch welded back in, glove box was also removed by PO and had the original tags on it ( will give you his contact info if you need it) this one was early enough to have a flat bottom on the glove box and could be easily fabricated. Driver seat is a small mouth gas tank seat but the seat back was modified with another frame, passenger seat is F marked but will need new swivel mounts/ feet. Fenders are in decent shape, support channels are not rotted out like you typically see but the do have there share of dents and bends in them.Hood is original to this jeep, is F marked and in decent shape, some rot on the support. Its missing the left axle shaft in the pics but I have a Willys one I will include, the front left hub is off in the pics as well but is included.”
