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 doesn’t run, but might be worth a look. The underside looks good.

I was looking for something, can’t even remember what at the moment, when I ran across this picture of jeeps at a race in Cripple Creek, Colorado, on Hemmings. That lead me to the Denver Public Library Digital Collections where I found a variety of pics.
Here is one image of kids on a jeep as part of a war bond effort.

Kerry spotted these pics on a friend’s facebook page. They are part of the Fotos Antiquas de Medellin and may have come from this Facebook page.
Mark reports that the recent edition of Hot Rod Deluxe Magazine has a variety of jeep pictures in it. Here are a couple. I have yet to pick up my copy.
Mark writes, “Found this cool copy of Hot Rod Deluxe magazine – May 2012 edition while in Barnes and Noble the other day. This nice little gem features a ton of Willys cars, trucks and quite a few Willys Jeeps as well. See pics attached. Page 6 features the first Four Wheel Drive Grand Prix in 1965 with allot of Jeeps in the pic. Page 33 features Bob Panella’s huge collection of Willys cars and trucks. Scattered throughout the rest of the pages you will find race jeeps and tricked out jeeps from back in the day which are pretty cool.”
This has nothing to do with jeeps, but Steve forwarded it thinking I might like it. I did. I figured some of you would too.
According to the attached text of the email, “Check this out… a hand-formed all-aluminum Willys Coupe! It’s amazing what some people can do with an English rolling wheel, sheet metal brake and a lot of skill and knowledge. No, he is not going to paint it. I love the polished flames! It’s got the right stuff under the hood, too! The hood scoop has yet to be installed in the photo below (Look closely). This is Walt Austin’s aluminum Willys coupe at Jim Hume’s shop, south of Bellingham , Washington.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Nice.
“400 Small Block Chevy, 400 transmission, New Tires, New Wheels, New Winch, New Brakes,New Top

UPDATE: SOLD*** Was listed at $3500.
This might be a very good price. It looks quite solid, despite needing brakes.
“1945 jeep gpw new engine needs brakes”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800. Relisted 6 months later.
This looks pretty good for the price. The body looks fiberglass to me.
“1948 Jeep runs and drives good power steering and brakes, hard top and bikini, six foot snowplow, chains and towbar.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
This has a M-38 windshield and I think it has a glove box on the dash, too, so I think it is a M-38 rather than the CJ-3A indicated by the seller. Or, it is a mix of parts.
“66K Miles. Decent condition. Comes with Tow Bar & Soft Top. Less than 500 miles traveled in last 10 years. Runs great; but, needs brake work.”
Looks solid.
“Customized 2 door panel with a 6 1/2 inch chopped top. Has a stock 350 Chevy engine, with an Edelbrock intake and a 750 Edelbrock carbuerator and Edelbrock valve covers.

This is a CJ-3A rather than a “US Army” Jeep. It looks in good condition and comes with hats, too. The seller seems to be a digit short of a full phone number ….

This looks good, but still needs some work according to the seller.
“Early 1951 Willys Pick Up with a small block Chevy and a T-90 with overdrive all original running gear. Dana front axle and Timkin rear diff. New custom built gas tank. It’s your turn to have fun with this truck. I have had my fun and it is your turn to make it yours. I have completely painted the frame and body. I also replaced some small things here and there. It is a very fun vehicle and gets alot of looks. Current on registration and road worthy. It needs your love and attention to finish. This all steel body truck needs a some love and attention with a few things like the wipers do not work and needs center buttons for door handles, carpet and headliner. I have put in the power steering upgrade so mark that off you list. I do have a very hard to find Willys Overland tailgate that I have been rebuilding and spare tire holder that have not been painted yet. As a bonus I have a T-18 four speed transmission for and upgrade at an additional cost. If interested I can take more pictures. I am not interested in trades or partial cash with payments”
It runs and drives, but is rough.
“1948 WILLYS CJ2A/FORD GPW SCRIPT JEEP, it has a 1948 Willys CJ2A title, serial number JC2A 179377, CJ3A hood and CJ3A windshield and CJ3A grill, A 1942 FORD SCRIPT TUB and FRAME NUMBER IS GPW 13101 and a 283 Chevy V8 with a four barrel carb, motor start easy and runs good.
My mechanic drove it and gave me this report, the V8 makes it really squirrelly, way to much power, it jumped out of second gear once. I do have another T90 with long input shaft if the buyer wants it. It has power brakes, after market steering, 30 X 9.5 X 15 inch tires, after market racing seats, the Ford Script tub has rust in front floor area, rear floor and tool boxes do not have any rust, it has original “F” foot rest, “F” door strap eye bolts, steel gas tank in place of rear seat, (good thing as no hole cut in side for a CJ2A gas tank neck) 12 volt battery and alternator, the front fenders appear to be MB as they have the headlight arm hold screws still on them.
I can get a correct title with the GPW 13101 frame number if someone wanted it for $250 extra, (not included in this auction) it takes about 30 days to get one.
I do have a WWII windshield, hood and grill that I will make available to the buyer for extra money, if they want them, but they are not included in this auction.
Certified funds must be paid within 7 days of auction end. Payment must clear my bank before jeep can be picked up or delivered.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(09/20/2010) There’s certainly some surface rust.
“70,000 miles. Runs. Body is solid. See pictures.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
(01/10/2012) This looks nice.
“1955 Willys pickup. Factory color Transport yellow. older restoration. has been sitting in garage for several years. Will need some attention but could be a dependable neat old truck. 6500.00 OBRO
If interested please call or text 7five7-six9six-21eight9
I am reposting this to add additional information so as not to waste my time or yours. Ive owned the truck for the last 12 years or so. This truck is the finished product of a compilation of aquired parts (new and used) and assembled together using the best of what was found. It is titled as a 1955 as that was the original truck that I started with. The bed and rear fenders are reproductions from Willys America. The cab is from a 61 truck. The engine is an original super hurricaine flat head 6 that was rebuilt to stock. There is a two barrel carb and intake on it which I believe to be a rare option for this truck as most that you see are the single barrel carbs. During assembling the frame was wire brushed epoxy primed and painted black. Floor pans in the cab were patched and the floor was sprayed at Line X in Yorktown. Line X also sprayed the interior of the bed, the insides of the rear fenders, and the underside of the bed prior to its installation. The truck was painted Transport yellow which was a factory color option. the truck was put back close to original but taking a few liberties as to personal preference. The seat is not stock and is out of an s10 pickup. This truck has not been registered in the last five years or so. It will not leave my house as a driver. In order for it to be road worthy it will need to have the carb rebuilt. (gas is rough when these vehicles sit up for a while). The brakes will need to be bled off. ( again a product of sitting in my garage) and one tire will need to be pumped up, or have a tube put in. Even though it has been off the road I still try a couple times a year to start the old girl up move it around in the driveway just to keep everything lubed up. The last time was this past summer. when these pics were taken. Please understand that this is not a show truck. The cab is not falwless and im sure that you will find many imperfections in the fit and finish of this truck. That said it is a neat old piece and if the above mentioned items were addressed it would be a neat driver. If after reading this your still interested feel free to give me a call. ”
UPDATE: ***SOLD*** Was listed at $1450
(06/10/2010) “This is a 1953 Willys jeep. I have too many projects, was going to build this, but don’t have time now.
It has a chevy 283 V8 with Mallory solid state ignition, high flow aluminium water pump and a two barrel carb, runs great, plenty of power..
Has new brake master cylinder, good tires(these are new since the pics were taken), needs soft top, doors are good though. Twin stick transfer case and three speed manual trans.
It needs to have the custom sterring box mounted better, it works but flexes more than it should, easy fix…
It also needs to have a VIN inspection, I had one done by a Local cop and that wasn’t good enough, it needs to be by a state patrol. I will garentee that you can get a title but it will be sold on a bill of sale only.
I have a plow for this availible very cheap…
Would make a cool offroad toy, I was going to fit into the bed of my F-350 for hunting…
Body is very rust free for it’s age, I have the willy’s seats, but weren’t comfortable for me so I have a couple bucket seats in it.
I also thought this would be very cool to put a tdi diesel or similar into and get 40mpg in a classic 4×4..”
