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 .
The top isn’t in good shape.

This is another story about a jeep from the Gus and the Model Garage series published in Popular Science Monthly. This particular article was published in June of 1955. In this story Gus learns about the oil float in the old Willys motors.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s an unusual item. The auction ends in a few hours.
“This auction is for a Original US Field Phonograph from the WWII era. It has typical damage on the outside from use in the field. Since condition is relative please look at the pictures provided. It is complete and plays. Great sound! The arm is a little sticky as it goes across the record but could be easily fixed, Probably just needs lubed. These were issued to combat units by the Special Services Division to build morale amongest the troops. This look great in a Living History or Reenactment.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Has an unusual dash.
“PLEASE THIS IS MY SECOND TIME LISTINOriginal Willy Jeep. No reserve auction. 3 speed manual. The car runs and drives. This Jeep was restored in the early 90s. It comes with 2 mechanics books for the specific model which will help if restoring.This was the last year Willy made the Jeeps. It still has the original 6 cylinder Buick engine.

Any one with negative or zero feed back will have to contact me before bidding or your bid will be deleted. Will help ship world wide at buyers expense. Good luck.”

This is unusual and in good shape.
“GAZ-69 took the place of GAZ-67B in 1953 and remained on assembly line till 1972 practically without changes. First cars have been produced in Gorkiy city (before 1930 and right now – Nizhniy Novgorod). Then, in December of 1954 production of GAZ-69 has began in Ulianovsk, UAZ. GAZ-69 production on GAZ lines has been cancelled in 1956. Officially GAZ-69 became UAZ-69, but new name didn’t get accustomed even in official papers. The engine of the car was taken from the famous “Pobieda” GAZ-M20. Strangely, the vehicle was not supplied with side mirrors. The only small mirror in the uppermiddle of windscreen was useless in tarpaulin covered car because of small rear window.
Before 1970 there was only rear window in the canvas top, then 2 windows appeared on every side.
New brakes installed, bought from Bulgaria. Headlight deflector/black-outs included. Canvas top needs restored. Will drive to dock for shipping. Shipping and payment to be set-up by buyer. Vehicle has just over 1,000 kilometers original.”
Looks solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(06/21/2012) Looks like the rear bumper was in the way of the exhaust, so it was sliced off. I’m sure I would’t put too much weight on the tow ball.

Jeep is a late World War II production with a mixture of Ford and Willys parts. I am asking $9,499 OBO including all of the rare original parts and a lot of spare parts. Can provide bill of sale and current California Historical Plates. Buyer is responsible for pickup and shipping from 92630.
Take a look through these Pictures while reading the general description. This is a Great Jeep for a full frame-off restoration or just pop the parts on and drive. I have almost everything for this jeep and it includes many rare original parts such as the blackout lights and BO Markers and taillights, spare tire carrier, jerry can brackets, canvas mud doors, Spartan Horn and Rear seat.
Jeep is complete without any cutouts or modifications to frame or body. Body is structurally sound and solid. (Found Small Cutout near Fuel Filter-see Photos)

Bumper gussets are original and intact with minor welds from having attached bar stock for a tow bar. See detailed pix

(05/31/2012) This looks solid.
“This Jeep has been in my family since the early 1960’s and was used for hunting. It was purchased from Archer Brothers in Hayward CA. It will go anywhere you point it. Comes with a Warn 8000 lbs. winch. For the hunter, this Jeep is perfect. Unlike a side by side, this is street legal and will take four people just about anywhere your gutsy driving will take you. The motor runs great but needs to be painted. The body is ok but has many small dents from previous hunting trips. For the restorer, it could use bodywork, fresh paint on the motor, and new upholstery on the seats.
The Jeep was torn down to the frame and sand blasted, primered, and painted with PPG epoxy gloss black paint.
Here’s the list.
Stock L134 Motor
Rebuilt Stock transmission
Rebuilt Stock Transfer Case
New High Torque Starter
New Water Pump and Hoses

New Fan Belt
New KYB shocks

New Clutch
New Intermediate Shaft in the Transfer Case
Tilt Column
GM steering box
Heavy duty steering
Warn 8000 lbs. winch
New speedometer gauge and cable
The front Dana 25 axle was rebuilt 15 years ago. Maybe 300 miles are on it.
Rear Dana 44 was rebuilt 8 years ago and has Detroit locker with Dutchman 30 spline axles.
Comes with the rear rack and two Jerry Cans (High Lift Jack Not Included)”
This picture comes from Elizabeth, Colorado. Conrad is checking out the beautiful scenery and, perhaps, contemplating the sale of his jeep, because “Lizzy” was sold a few days ago to her new owner Mark. This CJ-2A is very stock and even has its original black paint (quite rare).
Mark plans to take good care of it and preserve it as is. So, despite being sad it had to go, Conrad is happy it is going to Mark and Mark is thrilled to get it. Even better, Mark and Conrad have become friends.
This isn’t a book so much about a jeep as it is about the burning of a jeep. The story centers around a court case, in which a man and his father are being tried for burning an army jeep.
I have yet to read it, but it’s on my list.
You can learn more about this book at Amazon.com.
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD** Might have been used in the movie Prince Avalanche.
The seller just bought this, but now wants to sell it. No indication as to why. I’ve never seen one with a top like this (but I don’t’ follow them too closely).
“This is a great deal. I purchased this jeep 2 months ago for $6000, but now I need to get rid of it.
Runs really well.
THIS IS A VIETNAM ERA JEEP WITH AN AFTERMARKET BODY AND ALL M151A-2 RUNNING GEAR AND POWER PACK.
THE ACTUAL YEAR IS UNKNOWN, PROBABLY IN THE 70’S, AND IT IS TITLED AS A 1993 WHICH IS PROBABLY THE YEAR THE BODY WAS MANUFACTURED.
PAINT IS PRESENTABLE BUT CLEAR COAT IS PEELING IN PLACES, SOME SCRATCHES, AND NO MAJOR RUST.
THIS BODY IS QUITE TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL AND MUCH HEAVIER GAUGE STEEL.
ORIGINAL FUEL TANK IS OUT OF VEHICLE AND WILL NEED TREATMENT FOR RUST REMOVABLE AND INSPECTION FOR ANY LEAKS – IN THE MEANTIME A NEW 7.5 GALLON MARINE POLY TANK IS BEING USED.

UPDATE: This seller has redone several different CJ-2As like this. I may be mistaken, but it looks like the same paint that was used on the body was used on the motor.
“ENGINE:ORIGINAL 4 CYLINDER WILLYS FLATHEAD ENGINE, NICE RUNNING-ORIGINAL 6 VOLT SYSTEM.STARTS,RUNS,SHIFTS & STOPS GREAT.ENGINE HAS NO KNOCKS,TAPS, SMOKE,OR RATTLES.FRESH OIL CHANGE & LUBE.BRAKES ARE REAL NICE AND STRONG.SMOOTH,QUITE,STRONG RUNNING ENGINE.TRUE MILAGE UNKNOWN ON THIS 64 YO.

Unclear if this runs.
“Ideally I want to trade for a motorcycle(sport bike or similar preferred) I’m even willing to pay a little out of pocket for the trade if the bike is nice.”
