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.
I’ll have to check my history, but I’m pretty sure ‘completely restored’ jeeps don’t have electric fans. Looks in great shape though.

UPDATE: Also available at jeeptruck.com : http://www.jeeptruck.com/bd/sale/adb266/adb266.html
A couple items need fixing, but otherwise this looks good.
“1951 Willys Overland 4WD Pickup…$6,000 FIRM
1951 Willys Overland 4WD pickup restored to original. Stock Hurricane F-Head 134 c.i. engine. Recently rebuilt. Runs excellent. Original floor mounted stick T-90 3 speed transmission. Hi/Low range works fine. Lockout hubs. Original 7.00×16 tires. Original owner’s manual. Restoration completed in 2005.
New glass, chrome replated, spray in bed liner, etc.
Known issues:
…engine runs perfectly, but the truck bogs down when going up hills. Believe this is a timing/vacuum advance issue??
…per original owner, the original 1951 cab was totalled in 1956 but the rolling chassis was not damaged. Another 1951 cab was purchased and placed on the original chassis. Consequently, the engine and body #’s do not match. This was not a problem when I purchased and registered the truck in California.
…brakes occasionally grab when brakes are applied
…drivers side window is off the track and is laying loose inside the door panel.”

Original tub. Looks well restored.
“Hi, I will give this a try…..I have a 1946 restored Willys CJ2-A that was done about 3 years ago. It was a 5 year project that was fully pulled apart and gone thru. It was done to original with details taken into account. It has repro front fenders, tailgate and windshield. The tub is original with welded in panels where needed. Every thing was but-welded with no over-laps, no pop rivets, not hacked. It was done right to look right and to last….no rust left! Original bolts were saved, cleared and installed where ever possible. It looks as good underneath as on the outside! It has the T-90 3 speed rebuilt, L-134 engine and the Warn overdrive. New brakes and lines, like original wiring harness etc. Too much to list. Original vacuum wipers, gauges and 6 volt electrical system with generator. It starts easy and the lights are bright at night. I am having knee problems and have a hard time with the clutch and brake up-setting my knees.
This looks good on the outside (though the tailgate appears a little odd). The cab needs some work and wiring.

“I have a nice 1959 Jeep truck for sale. I have done some updates over the years. Updates include relined gas tank, brakes, hoses, belt, plugs, tires, tow bar, paint, etc. I had it painted back to original as best as I could.
It still needs a parking brake cable and a vent window is cracked. It has low mileage and was a barn find when I bought it. It was all original and had only surface rust. It is what attracted me to it. It has the strong six super hurricane engine and does not smoke. It runs strong and the clutch is good. I was told it is a rare 1 ton model. I have a clear Texas title. The only reason I would sell it is I have a CJ-2A also and do not need two Jeeps. I think it is better than a new Razor, mule or any other ATV since it is in another class for the money. I have a bus bench seat for additional riders in the bed. Please call for a showing or test drive.”
This auction will soon be over.
“For auction is NOS jeep rear PTO drum drive for a CJ2A, CJ3A, CJ3B, CJ5 in unused condition complete with small cloth bag containing (4) mounting bolts. This I believe is the early version with the pressed paper drum, NOT the metal type. This item is very heavy (48 lbs) packaged, box measures 16″long, 10″ high, 10″ wide.”

(03/16/2012) This looks in pretty good shape.
“I have this great old Hardtop from an early low-hood willys CJ/ MB. Doors, Windshield, and top all in good condition, but will need restoration. Some glass is broken, but easy to replace as it is flat. I had it on my 47 CJ-2A, but have decided to go w/ a soft top only from now on. I never use my Jeep in the winter! This is an insulated top. Check out the pics, and give me a call. I will answer any questions I can. I will consider trades…bikes, guns, tools, guy stuff. (509)876-2354.”

(07/10/2012) The title of this ad reads “1952 CJ-2A Army Brat Jeep”. I’m not sure what model this “COMPLETELY RESTORED” jeep yearns to be, but at the very least I would expect a working parking brake in a completely restored CJ-2A or CJ-3A.
“COMPLETELY RESTORED 1952 CJ2A – due to Windshield Frame; 12 Volt System; Leather Seats; Gloss OD Paint like the Officers Used; 16″ Wheels; 50 Claiber Ammo Box for Console; 5 Gallon Jerry Can Mounted on Back; Authentic Fire Extinguisher; British Made Siren; Custom Made Canvas Top w/Plastic Rear Window; Military Axe Mounted on Side; Rubber Faced Side Steps; All 4WD Accessories work, in High & Low Range; 2 and 4 Wheel Drive. Also a new unpacked All Weather Cover for the Jeep.”

One more note about Craigslist ..
I’ve just reviewed the new Terms of Use (TOU) from Craigslist. One section is particularly interesting. It seems that general search engines (how does one define that?) and noncommercial public archives are entitled access to Craigslist without written agreements.
“As a limited exception, general purpose Internet search engines and noncommercial public archives will be entitled to access craigslist without individual written agreements executed with CL that specifically authorize an exception to this prohibition* if, in all cases and individual instances: (a) they provide a direct hyperlink to the relevant craigslist website, service, forum or content;”
*The prohibition I highlight is the prohibition of copying, aggregation, or derivative use of CL content.
Given that eWillys is intended to be a public archive of vintage jeep information with free access to all users, I feel this statement suggests that the threat of Craigslist serving me with a cease and desist order seems small at this point. Frankly, I think they will be too busy dealing with their present lawsuits.
The bigger deal with the TOU change is the ownership clause:
Now,under the current TOU, when posting any content to Craigslist you grant Craigslist an exclusive license (they removed ‘non-exclusive),
“You also expressly grant and assign to CL all rights and causes of action to prohibit and enforce against any unauthorized copying, performance, display, distribution, use or exploitation of, or creation of derivative works from, any content that you post (including but not limited to any unauthorized downloading, extraction, harvesting, collection or aggregation of content that you post).”
This means they own an exclusive right to the content you post. The implications of this are that if you add a company logo to a post, then theoretically a company could not use that logo in any other fashion without Craigslist’s consent; if you post a picture, you cannot repost that picture on another website without Craigslist’s consent; and it means, theoretically, you can not copy the text you post on Craigslist for an ad on eBay, your local newspaper, or for any other use without Craigslist’s consent. Of course, Craigslist won’t enforce this right with 99% of users. But, what if someone got control of Craigslist who had questionable motives OR Google or other websites added similar TOUs?
Will their TOU stand up in court? The general consensus is NO. Why? As Plagarismtoday points out, “The reason is that, under U.S. copyright law, the transfer of a copyright or exclusive rights to a work require a written contract (PDF). This is not true for non-exclusive agreements.”

(06/24/2012) This hasn’t been started in ten years, but looks pretty solid.
