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 .

This looks promising.

(01/21/2012) This is worth a closer look. The seller only wants to deal with people in person.
“This is a fully original 1949 Willy’s with clean title, civilian model with 12volt electric. Jeep has extesnion on back that can be taken off to reduce price. This Jeep has been great around the ranch and does need some body work. 16″ wheels but can trade out for 15″ both with desent tires. Breaks and front wheel cylender rebuit. Runs well just needs tinkering like any 1949 Jeep. Will take seriouse offers. No shipping, No dealers, In person only!!!!
Please call Joe 719 three three O – Five 5 9 Five”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(09/11/2011) The body is a M-38, but the serial number indicates a CJ-3B. (though the 153-GB2 should actually be 453-GB2). So, I’m gonna guess that has been assembled from several jeeps.
“1953 Jeep Willys. In running condition. Serial # 153-GB2 30912.”
No pics provided.
“1953 willys & 1975 cj5 selling for scrap price would like to see someone use them. 740-381-0859”
Ann and I arrived in Mesa, Arizona, yesterday after a night of camping at Natural Bridges National Monument and a long day of driving through the desert. After a couple of margaritas and the ‘chuletas con chile rojo’ from Nandos last night, I was done for the day. So, rather than updates last night, look for some some updates in a few hours after I catch up on email. In the mean time, enjoy a few of the pics we took on our way through Utah.
On Tuesday one our first stops of the day was at Goblin Valley State Park. If you’ve ever seen the movie Galaxy Quest, then you’ve seen some footage of this unique park.
As Ann and I walked around the park, we spotted an opportunity for our own unique photo op.
After spending the night at Natural Bridges National Monument, we spent two hours touring the park. We didn’t see another car or hiker the entire time. I joked that I had rented the park for Ann for the entire morning. At Natural Bridges we hiked down to the oldest of the three bridges, Owachomo, and shot this photo.
Here is an iconic shot at Monument Valley. I always thought this was in Northern Arizona. It turns out it is just south of Mexican Hat, Utah, and just north of the Arizona Border.
UPDATE: Still Available
(11/30/2011) Here is a militarized CJ-2A.

UPDATE: Still Available
(03/13/2012) This has an automatic tranny and has a Warn Overdrive. On Sunday I asked Herm (aka Herm the Overdrive Guy) how people with automatic trannies shift their overdrive. He said the proper way is to turn the key. In other words, you should turn off the jeep and shift the overdrive. Given this has the overdrive and the buckshots, this might be worth a look.
“47 flatfender 283 Chevrolet, headers, 350 tranny, Dana 20 transfer case with warn overdrive, Dana 44s 488 powerlck in rear open front, warn hubs just fixed the usual rust issues (new rear pan drivers side floor) very little rust, lights and wipers work, good seats, 34″ buckshot style tires 100%, not perfect but turn key good runner ready for the woods or street .yes drives great and stops good to 3500 OBO two five three 273-9080 lowballers will be ignored, trades may be considered with cash, straight axle toyota , CJ 5-7”

Here’s are three postcards with jeeps by Sgt Dave Breger at postcard collectors.
On the left the caption reads, “I would hafta deliver a message to the Colonel when his orderly is sick”. On the right it reads, “‘Should bars! Get your lieutenant’s shoulder bars here.'”
At the bottom of this card it reads “He wants to ride in front. He’s getting carsick back here.”
From the blogspot of Mayamade comes this photograph of an abandoned FC in rural New York. Cool picture!
Someone created this magnet from a vintage Tonka Toy ad. It can be purchased at ETSY.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
There are some UNUSUAL Mods on this jeep. Is that a battery box lid on the driver’s side?
“Asking for 4,000 or best offer.
Body is in excellent condition with no rust.
Willys engine which isn’t the original and it needs some work.
Has slow oil leak.
Hard top comes with it.
Been stored inside for as long as I know.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7800.
This looks like a nice little wagon, though that tail pipe is awfully low.
“1957 Jeep Willys Wagon rodded out in 2001. 318/4bbl, Automatic, P/S, P/B, A/C. Not using it-needs to go! $7800 or best offer”
UPDATE: Was $8500. **SOLD**
I”m pretty sure this would not have gone for $21000 a few years ago, however it looks solid.
“nice 1948 jeep engine and transmission was done a few years back dont know for sure it was my dads clean new tires new carb lots of extra parts. asking less than midrange price $8500 (obo) a fully restore like show room.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/21/2011) This may need some work. It the seller is accurate about the mechanical maintenance, then there might be a good foundation here.
“Three years ago I parked the jeep and moved to Montana. I would love to have been able to bring it, but it wasn’t an option. It’s ran great the entire time I’ve owned it, and I’ve stayed on top of routine maintanence/repairs all the way up until I moved. Since I’ve moved it has not been started, so as you can imagine, some work will need to be done in order to get it back on the road. Please contact Evan 559-907-9498 Thanks!”

This might be a good price, though it could use another paint job.
“Army jeep, runs good, all original great shape, parade ready! comes with trailer, excellent condition!802-472-7010”
http://burlington.craigslist.org/cto/2922727275.html

Needs some work.
“Jeep willys 35in m/t not bad shape for its age. Still has 4cl flat head 3sp still needs some work but not bad 13k call or text 2500 obo ”
Looks pretty complete for the price.
