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: **SOLD** Was $4000
(08/24/2011) Looks in good shape.
“1960 cj3b high hood jeep. Really straight body. It has a stainless steel fuel tank, nice seats, clean floor, and a nice vinyl top with doors. The frame is nice and straight and has a tough rear bumper. The engine is the 4 cyl. overhead valve with a 3 speed tranny and runs excellent. It also has a new battery and a towbar so it can be pulled behind another vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
Engine is out (sitting in the back).
“1948 jeep cj2a has a 4 cyl engine and 3 spd it also has the rear seat frame the engine is removed andlooks to have had some work done. All parts are there. A very straight and original old jeep that would make a good project call 402-200-0153”

“This 1951 Willy’s Jeep has a 1976 Buick V6 in it with an electronic ignition (very handy). It has the original transmission with the overdrive. It runs quite well. I have a wife and two kids. It no longer functions in our family program. It needs someone to care for it and love it. It’s been stored in a garage for the last 20 years. It has some rust only on the surface. In my opinion all it needs is a sandblasting job and some Linex. also some gasket replacement underneath. Based on my pricing research this is a good price. I am not willing to sell it for any less. Purely on principal alone.
It runs.
“42 Willy’s Jeep…Purchased to restore, just don’t have the time or the room. Jeep runs, but needs tune up. It has a flat head 6 cylinder I believe it is a studabaker, new radiator, starter, shocks. 559-240-2913”

When someone uses “good axles” as a selling point, it’s usually not a good sign.

I ran out of steam tonight …
Pete from the Old Willys Forum created and shared this mini video. It sure looks like the summer has set on Idaho.
Buz spotted this auction of old jeeps. They are in bad shape, but some have some interesting features, including the last one. I’d like to know what type of headlights those are. My first guess is that they are the same that i used on Biscuit, ’59 Olds 5.5″

Here’s a GPW that comes with plenty of extras and a tall price tag. Lots of pics.
“Up for sale is a rare and authentic 1944 FORD WILLYS MB 44 with MATCHING TRAILER. This clean and complete example was owned by a serious WWII buff and recovered from dry storage after his death . It has undergone a mechanical restoration by a vintage car specialist and is fully operational and roadworthy. This jeep is unique in that many authentic accessories are included with it, such as radios, antennas, and various fluid canisters. The matching trailer was packed with spare parts and period military items that are all included. This collector jeep is truly one of a kind and will ready for any collection, museum or parade run! Examples in this condition are non-existent!
