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: Was $5830. **SOLD**
I don’t see any tail lights.

UPDATE: I moved this morning’s posts to the top of tonight’s posts, but I’ll keep this ‘update’ here.
Just a few posts this morning. I’ll post more a little later.
Ann and I have to run the truck to the dump transfer station (the truck is full of garage cleaning). This is Ann’s first time to the transfer station, a place special to the family. It was at the transfer station in 2003 where dad drove the truck for the first time following his stroke. The stroke hurt his ability to use his right side, so he had to relearn the use of it.
It all started, because he was unhappy with mom’s parking job. So, he climbed over to the driver’s side while she was taking off the tarp to dump stuff. He meant to pull forward a few feet, but instead his foot hit the accelerator, causing the truck to lurch forward about fifty feet before dropping over a steep embankment.
There was a shriek from mom and gasps from employees and onlookers. Soon, news helicopters showed up to film the scene. However, the copters left the scene, disappointed by the lack of death. Because, both dad and the truck survived just fine. It took two tow trucks to pull the truck back up, but it still drives fine. In fact, it is the very truck we are taking to the dump today 🙂
This looks in nice shape.

Here’s a CJ Dealer Promotion ashtray that Craig pointed out to me. However, it’s is located in Thailand.
“You are looking at a authentic old vintage used ashtray & jeep. 6 inch wide by 2 inch high for tray. Jeep itself is 2 1/2 inch long. Made of chromed metal. Extensive oxidation to chrome. Looks like it may not polish out. No tobbaco smell.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(03/15/2012) This looks in good shape. It is a pretty early CJ-3A.
“Good condition. New floor pans. All original, including 6 volt charging system. New battery. Runs well. Does not burn oil. Tires need replacing. Soft top and doors, but no rear side panels. Odometer says 1851, but I don’t think it is correct; I have no idea of real miles.”
I can’t tell if this was a WW2 or CJ, since there has been at least some body repairs.

This jeep might just set the record for the longest tow bar. There is some value here.

“Recently retired and I have too many projects. I need to sell this one to help finish my other antique truck. This is an earlier 46 Willys with the 3 speed on the column. It’s all there and with a fresh battery and some gas it should start. I just replaced the stater switch and cleaned the gas tank. It will need to trailered or hauled and I can help with loading.”
Kevin filed this report from Moab at the end of the Willys Overland Rally, Moab 2012. Thanks Kevin! Don’t forget to visit the oldwillysforum.com to prepare for next year’s rally.
Kevin writes, “We made it to Moab from Georgia, what an experience! I traveled 1,750 miles @ 25 cents per mile.
I had my share of adventure — Tranny coolant line breaks, gas gauge peg’s at fuel, lost a gas cap and bought a non-vent cap, which caused every hose connected to the tank leak like the Titanic of gas, loose distributor, two plug wires not doing their job, busted motor mouint, spring perches broke (spot welded). All the particapants made it up the Pucker Hill, but me … oh what fun it is to get stuck and broke down. Despite all of this, I had a Great Time!!! These people know how to party and have an honest good time!
All too quickly MOAB 3 – 2012 has come to an end. So, I’m on my way back to Georgia, carrying plenty of red sand for the ride home.
One more item off the Bucket List.”
These first two pictures are of Kevin’s wagon:
Mark has a nice article at Jeeptruck.com about Don Howard, a former horse race jockey, who ran a jeep rental business out of Creede, Colorado. Don’s family has used jeeps for several generations, partly because the family has a ranch along the Continental Divide at 10,500 feet.
UPDATE: This sold. Was on eBay.
VEEPs are pretty rare. This looks unusual even for a VEEP. I’ve never seen a hood decorated quite that way.
This looks like a nice little jeep.
“This CJ2 is in very good condition, with very good 32X11.50 R15LT tires, a new Northern Industrial 9000 Lb. Winch which has never been used, a tow Bar is mounted on the jeep and has electrical connections, the stereo is a Sony AM/FM CD and MP3 player that works well, it has front High Back Bucket seats and a good bench seat in back. The engine is a Buick V6 and works well, the transmission is Automatic and works well. The paint job is custom, light tan desert camoflauge and there is chrome trim. The title is Clear. I sell it AS IS, but I know of no serious problems with this vehicle, the actual mileage on this vehicle is unknown. I have gotten too old to go riding in the desert anymore, but this is the perfect vehicle for those who still can. The buyer will need to come to Arizona to pick the vehicle up. It is located at my home about 60 miles north of Phoenix.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
Not perfect, but looks pretty solid.
“1945 FORD GPW MILITARY JEEP $7000
SAME FAMILY AND GARAGE KEPT SINCE 1963
RUNS GREAT, LOOKS GREAT, DATA PLATES IN PLACE
READY FOR PARADES, FARM, OR COMPLETE RESTORATION”
Not a perfect replica, but looks solid.
“This handcrafted mahogany wood model is an extremely beautiful replica of a World War II Willys jeep with machine gun. Weapon is optional and can be easily removed if desired, it also rotates 360 degrees. Model has an extremely detailed interior with gauges, foot and brake pedal and steering wheel that rotates. This is not some cheap wood toy, each model takes an average of 18 hrs to complete and is coated with 3 coats of polyurethane for a super high gloss finish. You will not find a better more detailed model than this. 10″ Length, 5″ Width, 5.5″ Height.”

“1963 CJ3Bwith no motor, trans, or transfer case. This Jeep has some rust but all is fixable. Has windshield frame not seen in pics. Have title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $625.
This appears pretty straight. I suspect it has some rust.
“Have a title, but not in running condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It might not be all stock, but it sure looks liek a great run around jeep for the price.
“Runs good, new tire and wheels
Needs master cylinder
Selling for a friend, Alaska Plates
More pictures upon request”
The jeep looks solid. I respectfully disagree with the claim that “it will never lose its value”, as we all know by the many “ran when parked” descriptions of jeeps. I would say they will all lose value unless maintained, which is an investment of time and money.
“1949 willys jeep. Has been restored. Almost ever part you can think of has been replaced, rebuilt or restored .Has oringmal flat head 4 cyl. T-90 3 speed. front, rear diffs have be rebuilt transmission to. Engine is stock and runs and purs like a kitten. Jeep has Military tires that are brand new including spare. 16″ wheels. Brand new best top with an extra set of doors. In side of jeep has been rhino lined. Has new heater with defroster vents. This jeep needs nothing. You can drive it in a parade, take it four wheeling this thing will go just about anywhere, or just cruise it around town. Tow it anywhere with its own tow bar. I have lots of pics of this jeep, but its a must see. It gets attention where ever I go. If you want something that will never loose value and is different than this is the jeep for you. You Can see more photos here”
