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 .
Andy shared this project. It includes a Sears style half cab.

“Car is not running. Needs to be restored. Engine is out in pieces. See pictures. Needs a good home with someone who is looking for a fun project!”
This unusual build needs a valve job.

This maybe worth a closer look due to the classic deep dish slot rims and, possibly, the special aftermarket inset CJ-5 angled dash.

“1953 Willys CJ3b flatfender project. I have owned this project for about 10 years. It was purchased with no title. It was bought by a friend for parts and then i got it from him. Body is pretty solid for a 1953. It had a v8 it looks like. I found the original mounts for the stock F134. They will need to be welded in. I have a block installed for fitment. The Willys has the original Trans and transfer case installed. Missing the 2 driveshafts. I was told it Has an upgraded steering box and bigger brakes. I have fenders they are not mounted. Grill is not mounted. The rims and tires are loaners from a friend that i will have to return. I have some rollers to load. This is a project vehicle. Sold as is with no paperwork. It had tags on it so it was registered at some point in its life. Has california id tag on firewall. Great project for offroading or Rockcrawling. I am open to offers.”
It’s a non runner, but still might be worth a look.

“1948 CJ2A runs amazing. Has rebuilt Chevy 153 4 cylinder, Chevy 4 speed manual transmission, and Chevy steering. Brand new aluminum radiator with shroud, new hoses, and thermostat. Freshly rebuilt carburetor, new brake lines throughout, newer tires, newer battery, new fuel pump/lines/ and filters. Just replaced head gasket, oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket. Very reliable and a blast to drive.”
TJ shared this shortened truck. Note that the seller does not have the title, but has contact with the original owner who has paperwork of some kind.

“I have a 1951 willys pickup, I bought from a friend, got it to restore but don’t have the extra funds for parts, was willing to sell for less because of an injury but all healed up now but still willing to part with for the right price. The motor should be good, it was restored and ran when parked in the yard around 20 years ago. Someone had taken the radiator off and belt somewhere over the years, but i do have the radiator. It rolls but haven’t worked on the motor so don’t know if it will start or not. I know these trucks go for much more in same condition. Asking $1,000 OBO I do not have the title but can right bill of sale. Also can have original owner provide paperwork if any concerns.”
UPDATE: Still Available? I haven’t seen this ad on Facebook since 2019, but it just popped up as I was searching for something else. I suspect this sold, but you never know….
Has a variety of updates. Appears to have an overdrive.

The big spring project, operation Raised Garden #2, has finally concluded. The auto irrigation system is ready to go. Now, Ann just needs to finish planting and I need to put away the tools leaning against the shop (and paint the fencing around the propane tank).
Since first buying the place we’ve struggled with what to do with this dead zone between the shop and the guest house. Ann’s idea for 2nd garden area there looks like it will be a good idea. Here’s a before and after photo:
On Sunday, I returned to working on the FC. I finished a cover plate for the Wilwood hole (formerly the original shifter hole), and I built a bracket for the oil-cooler/electric fan setup (no pics just yet). Though I need to catch up on other projects waylaid as a result of the garden, I should have more time to work on the FC again.
I purchased this Japanese Formula Desert Dog brochure. I thought it was interesting that both solid and outlined version of the tires were offered simultaneously. I’ll update the pics when I receive the brochure.
Buz shared this uniquely colored yellow and white Willys MB. It looks like a detailed restoration.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/942586697312531/
“Purchased as a non-running Jeep from behind a barn in Memphis TN. Rebuilt as a project during Covid lockdown. Flat-head 60hp Go Devil engine converted to 12v, and new wiring and gauges installed throughout. Disk brakes added to the front to aid in drivability, and the front seats have been extended rearward into the rear fenders to allow a little more clearance between the steering wheel and the driver. Frame is powder coated. Axles, transmission/transfer case, and motor are all powder coated then rebuilt. Body work and painting performed off-the-frame at Fenix Automotive (https://www.fenixgarage.com/), and the full underside of the body is painted the same as the top side.”
UPDATE: As Chris notes, this is a post 72 CJ6, not a 1964.
This looks good on the outside. No interior photos.

“This is a beauty! It would be the perfect restoration project. 4×4 2 door, Studebaker “big six” 353 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder engine, chrome wheels. This was made by Willys Motor Company. We have the original grill. Rear seats are original. Front seats are comfortable bucket seats. It has the original rear sliding windows. It doesn’t run. One tire is deflated and it will need to be replaced. There is crack in the front passengers side windshield. If you need a recommendation for a local company that can move it for you (they also deliver out of state), we have on”
Appears worth a look.

“Rare Willy’s High Hood. New wiring, fuel pump, fuel lines, and gas tank. Good tires. Has soft doors. Fun off road. Max speed is about 45 mph. Clean title. Asking $7500 or best offer.”
My impression is that AJ’s bodies had more of a standard step. The steps on this body are more similar to the Bobcat/Parkette designs. However, I think this is similar to some other bodies built in the midwest by a yet-unidentified manufacturer years ago (probably some entrepreneur or small shop).

“Very nice fiberglass body tub for a flat fender Willys Jeep CJ2a CJ3a. Believed to be an AJ’s body. Asking $1,200 or best offer.”

“1946 CJ2A. This jeep has been sitting in a shed for close to 30 years. Has some kind of a 4cylinder Chevy engine in it. But it’s not mounted. Transmission has Chevy adapter installed and is mounted to the engine. someone was trying to install a power steering rack in it but it doesn’t look safe and will need to be replaced. The jeep is in overall good condition. It’s straight has minimal rust, minus the rot in the storage compartment under the passenger seat. There is NO PAPERWORK, NO ID TAGS NO LICENSE PLATE seats and fuel tank are gone as well. sold as parts jeep only. Tires hold air but are 30+ years old. I’m throwing in A spare tire with stock rim, two L134 Willy’s jeep engines (both buildable) one has a 2wd transmission bolted to it incase you wanted to build some kinda 2wd rat rod jeep..?”
