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 .

“Howdy Folks, Up for sale is my 1953 Willys CJ3B. It has original sheet metal and no rust. I restored it about 8 years ago. Everything was either rebuilt or replaced then. It has traveled about 2,500 miles since then. My wife and I trailered it behind our RV on our honeymoon. So this jeep has seen SanFrancisco, Meer Woods, The Bad Lands, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Napa Valley, and Senoma and much more. So its been around. It has a few chips and bumps, however still shows very well and gets allot of attention. It even won best jeep at the very popular ST. Marys annual car show. Beautiful trophy.
It is powered by an F head four cylinder and an manual 3 speed. It is a 4X4 with high and low range. It has been updated with an Motorola alternator, converted to 12 volts, and a solex carb. It has military ND tires that actually drive very well and wear very well. It runs just great and is fun to drive. It is painted Caterpillar yellow and battle ship grey. I would be willing to repaint it any solid color with a single stage urathane enamel for an additional $1,200. This would include everything but the frame and engine compartment. I also have US government olive drab. You may call me at five three seven one nine eight seven or email me.
I am asking $11,000. It is located in Holland NY near East Aurora. Email me for an appointment for viewing. And if weather permits a drive. I am not interested in trades, or consignments. In the photo you may see the exhaust strap broken, It has been replaced.”
Last night, Louis, who lives on Long Island, and I met up for a bite to eat. He suggested the meeting after hearing I would be on Long Island this week. Patient with my ever changing schedule, we agreed to meet around 8pm last night and had a fine time talking jeeps and life. I learned during our meeting that he has a very low mileage FC-150 and a 1965 CJ-5. He promised to share some pics with us.
So, thanks to Louis for taking the time to drive to meet me and for buying me some food!!
Brett spotted this one. It runs …
“Runs but needs carb rebuilt and a few things to run and drive. New starter cap rotor plugs wires points changed oil in front and rear diff also flushed the motor and radiator please call or text Blake for more info 801-244-9698 thanks”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
This has some old Desert Dogs.
‘This thing is a major project. It has a buick v6 in it but I’m pretty sure it is junk. I was told that the front and rear axles are welded. The body is rough, no bad rust but plenty of surface rust. I had plans to build a wheeler out of it but life has got in the way and I’m not sure when I will get back to it. I’d like $750 but I’m flexible. Delivery available within reason. May take a trade but depends on what it is. Call, text or email me if you have any questions or want to come look”
UPDATE: Sold for $3000.
I can’t tell a whole lot from the pic.

This is missing a tire and it looks as if the rear of the body is twisted.
“1962 Willy’s Jeep DJ3A. Barn find. I found this jeep and the body is in good shape for a jeep that is 50 years old. It’s got a few dents and dings, but dosen’t have near as much rust as most do. I had planned on fixing it up someday. The Jeep starts and runs, but it has no sign of brakes at all. The jeep dosen’t come with a battery. I now need money and have decided to sell the jeep. I have a clear title to the jeep. Buyer to pay $500.00 deposit at end of auction and balance within 3 days.”
This looks in good shape.

“1946 CJ-2A
Classic Willys Jeep – $3100
I am selling this b/c I haven’t the time or the place to fix it up right..
Runs.
Has F-143 Engine. I have fixed a couple things on the motor, such as thermostat. I HAVE a stock gas tank(still in the box) that I bought that will come with this package.
This Willys will need a little work, but not at lot.
Currently it is in a storage unit since I do not have room in my garage to put it anymore. Last time I ran it was when I moved it into the garage in June. (When I last ran it I ran the fuel lines, bowl, and carb dry so it would not gum up the system.)
Please reply to this posting if you are interested. Or you can call 740-739-7952, leave a message if I do not answer, as I am rather busy at times and cannot receive phone calls.
NO Solicitation Please.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(03/16/2011) Is the windshield extra tall or is that an illusion caused by the paint stripe?

“1944 Willys Jeep Project:

Have title for it.
Does need work to get it back on the road. Needs master cylinder and brake shoes (have the shoes – parts can be bought at Kaiser Willys online)
Have extra parts including another hood and wind shield
Would make a cool project for someone.”
This looks like a good price.
“For sale: 1946 Willys column shift jeep. Runs and stops, just needs finishing. Comes with working rear PTO.
This was going to be a long term project for me, but circumstances have changed and now I am forced to sell. This particular jeep is rare due to the column shift and the fact that is still have the rear mounted PTO.
Most everything works but the emergency brake needs to be adjusted and the dash light needs to be hooked up. I removed the car seats that were in it and have found some original CJ2A seat frames for it. It does have some old turn signals on it but they do not work, nor do they need to to have it inspected..
The green jeep shown in the pics is NOT for sale.
Please, no scammers or tire kickers, I know what this jeep is worth, and know what I am asking for it is fair. A very rare jeep that will make a very good project for someone.
Thanks for your consideration.”
