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 $2700. Status Unknown.

“Very nice jeep, runs and drives, needs tune up, looks great, has a 327 chevy in it, 4 wheel drive, high and low gears, 3 speed trans. New low price, must sell, bring all offers, lets deal. ”
This has some mods, but hard to tell just how much.

“-283 V8 w/headers

-5.38 axle ratio
-full roll cage
-skid plate
-tow bar
-tilt/telescopic wheel
New battery, new alternator, rebuilt carburator. No leaks, no rust, no doors, no heater, no power anything. I previously invested over $7000 in this, but then it sat in a barn for ten years. It’s running like new again, but the tires are old, and it still needs brake work. This is a turn-key, mostly complete, running jeep for the price of a project jeep. Clean title, but currently registered non-op. Make offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
The body doesn’t appear too bad.
“1947 Willys Jeep, Ford Pinto motor(powerplant), 3 speed transmission, twin stick transfer case, does not run has not ran since 1992, body is straight. Restoration is needed to complete project. This is not a military issue civilian model. Made by overland motors company. Pinto motor was a common swap due to the go-devil motor was weak.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** See more pics here: http://www.ewillys.com/?p=61299
This looks like a DJ-3A Surrey Body on a 70s CJ-5 frame to me. It was listed as a CJ-3B on Craigslist.
“We have this CJ3B sitting in our barn and it’s time for it to go. Don’t want to scrap it and would like to find someone who can put it to use somehow. Asking $700 or best offer. Not sure of any of the details of the Jeep. Needs an engine, transmission is there though not in the Jeep. Probably have some of the parts lying in/around it, so those will be a part of the price.”
No pics. Unsure what it is.
“50’s jeep Willys not sure of the exact year. No title, No motor. Great for parts.$350.00
Call David @208-861-5151”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300
The seller just needs to get rid of it. It might make a very cheap parts wagon.
“I selling 53 willys wagon that has a lot of parts taken off of. I am done messing with it so I want to just sell it with what it has left. It has a ford 8 inch rear end. no motor, trans, hood or title. I just need it gone soon. I will haul it to scrap unless someone wants to come take it off my hands.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
The seller believes this was the original body, but it looks more like a repo body to me. Also, there’s been a good deal of welding along the passenger front frame rail and along the underside of the driver’s side rail, which could indicate the original rails weren’t in good condition. Also note the modified transmission undercarriage.
“Original Steel tub, No rust, no rot, just some minor surface rust here and there
UPDATE: Was $650. **SOLD**
(03/28/2011) There’s some value here, but not much GPW left.
“I’m selling my 43 jeep project. It’s not very original. The guy I bought it from converted it to Toyota running gear. It comes with two 4.3 vortec v6s. It doesn’t have the terra tires anymore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(11/16/2010) There are a few updates to this flattie.
“Im selling my 1948 Willys jeep for $4500 obo. has a rebuilt stock flat head 4 cylnder. New Wheels and Tires. No Rust. Runs Great, only reason we’re selling is because we don’t drive it anymore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
The good news is that the tires hold air.
“For sale: 1952 Willys 4×4 with utility body on back. It is complete. It needs restoring. Tires are up and holding air. It rolls good and is easy to move. Can deliver if needed with trailer. Come take a look. This is a great restoration project for hunting, off road driving, mudding, or for the collector”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This has a winch that’s worth a few hundred all by itself.
“Willys Jeep project, purchased jeep to restore but have way to many projects going on. There is no title!!! You will have to acuire a title yourself. It has been retrofitted with a Ford 351 V8 that will need work, I put on a starter to see if it would turn over but no success. This jeep has alot of potential and with a little blood, sweat and tears this could be a fun project. Come by and take a look, and thanks for looking.”
Not all original, but pretty close.

This vehicle runs so smooth, has new brake lines, three point hitch, very rare to find a all original jeep from the World War 2 era.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
(08/27/2010) The body appears to be a GPW (I think those look like GPW tool lids in the rear).

Need a car that’s a little easier on gas than your jeep? How about this one cylinder car HOG spotted. No, it’s not 4wd and it is smaller than some golf carts, but I figured I’d post it anyway. Besides, even if you don’t like the car, check out the turn signal/running lights on the front. Those might be a nice conversion option for older jeeps.
I have never seen a King Midget. There were 3 basic models of the Midget. The first model was a one seater, like a mini-racing car from the early 1900s. The second model expanded to two seats, along with other additional options. The third model increased strength and horsepower.
The King Midget Car website has this video, which shows a variety of old Midgets:
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJv0a7dUbIU&feature=player_embedded
“I am selling a 1964 King Midget, “Worlds Most Exciting Small Car”. The car is in outstanding condition and is a A.A.C.A Senior show winner. The engine is a One cylinder, with 2 speed auto trans; the car gets 60-90 miles per gallon! The odometer reads 5,226. If you are wondering, YES, this car is street legal and another interesting fact about the King Midget is that they were only available by mail order from 1952-1970. I am forced to sell the car due to a death in the family and am sad to see this “small” gem of a car go.”
