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 $2500.

This has a tempest slat 4 cyl. It looks like someone did a nice job of installing the updated steering column as well. Here’s a built example of the same motor.
Here is a link to a Jalopy Journal thread about 4cyls. The Mercruiser 3.7 and the Ford 2.3s seemed to be a favorite for fun 4cyl installs.

“

The internet is being flaky at the motel, so no updates tonight. I’ll catch up tomorrow.

HOG pointed out these unusual tent trailers. This comes from an article at Jpfreek.com about outfitting a multi-day adventure.
UPDATE: It turns out this was a MB (was listed as a ’46). And it sold to the first caller. It was listed at $2500.
There’s value, but I can’t quite tell how much. The might be a WWII body.

Bob is selling his truck. It has NO rust and has a recently rebuilt engine. It would likely make a great restoration candidate.
“Pickup has been in barn the last 6 years, has been run periodically, no rust. Bought for retirement project, now have no time for it. It has: Rebuilt 4 cylinder engine (original was a six),3 speed with high/low 4 WD, manual overdrive, clear title.”
UPDATE: Was for sale for $1900. Status unknown.
There might be some value here. The seller wants to get rid of this.
“Hi , I’ve got a 1952 Jeep Willys that has been sitting in my garage for quite a while now. It’s not in great shape , but for the most part still pretty solid. Has some rust , has a hole in front drivers floor board. It’s a 6 volt system , but if I remember correctly , my father in law told me it was converted to 12 volt. All the glass is original , as well as the body and interior parts.It’s interior has been mostly gutted. The motor is original to my knowledge and was overhauled not long before it was put in storage. It’s full time 4 wheel drive , but the front axle was taken out by my father in law , I believe to help with fuel mieage , when he was driving it. I have been wanting to fix it up , but with bills and kids , it’s not going to happen for a while longer. ”

Ooops. I guess I was tired last night! After a few updates to ewillys, i went out for some Pho Noodle Soup, came back to my motel room (I’m in Salt Lake for a couple days) and planned to do more updates. Instead, I closed my eyes for just a minute and … boom … I was out. So, I’ll sneak in some more this morning.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

(02/22/2011) Kind of a strange place to park this jeep?
“1958 Willys jeep cj6. 4 cylinder 3 speed. Lots of new parts. Good running and driving jeep. Perfect for a ranch or hunting truck. 3000 or best offer. Might trade for straight axle Toyota 4×4 or muscle car. Thanks for looking.”

The bumper on back looks unusual, but I can’t see much more than that. Also, it doesn’t look like the Ballard area, but maybe the jeep is located elsewhere?
“This Willys has had new drive train installed has only 500 miles on it. new warn winch and hubs.

“it is pretty rough but does run. engine has been replaced with a 70’s mustang in line 6.”
UPDATE: Joe reports this is a VEC CJ-2A. **SOLD** Was $850.
“1946 Willys Jeep with TITLE!! Desperate need of restoration. I last remember using this vehicle in the 1970’s, for pulling trees, hauling & just having fun. I understand that it needed a fuel pump back then, and unfortunately… No one has moved forward with Willy’s care”
After initially purchasing this CJ-2A, Diego shared some pictures with me. It was pretty rough and I knew he was had plenty of work ahead of him. He recently completed it, especially considering the rough condition of the original, has turned out really nice.
Diego write, ‘I finally finished my project after almost two years. It has sometimes been a pleasure and sometimes a pain in the neck, but at least I’m pretty happy with the results. And even though is CJ2A post war jeep, I gave it a military theme. I always like the military style.”
Well done Diego!
You can see the entire transformation here.

HOG forwarded this. Who thinks up these things? What’s the thought process like? Well, I have this jeep and I have this boat … what to do, what do …. maybe I should install the boat on the jeep frame, but not make it able to float. Brilliant! Whoever did it gets a point for daring to do something really different.
“Who doesn’t want a 4wd JEEP powered 17′ Stick shift Galaxy boat! I wish I had the time to put this thing back on the road myself, but my lack of time and loss of storage is your gain! What I have for sale here is a 1974 Jeep CJ5 with the body cut off and a Galaxy 17′ boat hull attached!
It has been in storage since the early 1980’s. It was really well done! No it’s not amphibious but it is fun and you know there will not be another one at the drive thru or out on the trail! It ran and drove when it was put away but needs some work to go back on the road now. The 258ci strait six Jeep motor turns free and the manual transmission feels ok. The brakes need to be gone thru totally, the master cylinder is missing but is a stock jeep piece and can be bought at any auto parts store, all of the mechanical parts are actually readily available because they are jeep.
Its a fiberglass 17′ Galaxy hull that can be painted or polished back to a shine! I flat towed it from where it was so I know everything spins and turns. Unfortunately THERE IS NO TITLE OR PAPERWORK for it so it will be sold with just a bill of sale for the Jeep vin number. This is 100% as is no warrantee no guarentee!”
It’s a bit dirty, so I can’t tell the condition of the body.
“i have a badasss 1949 original willys jeep its got a 283 high performance chevy small block in it. its on 31s and its got dual exhaust with cherry bombs the body condition is perfect! very clean and extreamly powerful it runs perfect theres nothing wrong with it. also has a 2 inch block lift on it im selling because i need a new dirt bike i am up for some trades but only for equal value im asking $2600 if you are intrested in buying or trading txt me at 928-308-6291”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
Does anyone recognize that top?
“Pictures show it all. The only thing that is gone from pictures is the front finders. This is Just a body and frame, No engine or transmition.Jeep goes for $200 and hard top goes for additional $100. Take one or both”
It’s not entirely stock, but looks solid.
“For your consideration is my 1942 Willys MB Army Jeep. I restored this Jeep several years ago and it gets used very little so I have decided to part with it. When restoring the Jeep I took the body off of the frame and installed new brakes (wheel cylinders, pads, master cylinder, brake lines) and painted the frame. I also undercoated the body. The engine is a flat head four cylinder but I am not sure it is original to the Jeep. I was told it was probably a little later model engine and that it had been gone through. The only thing I have done to the engine was to install new plugs, wires, distributer cap, rotor, etc. I also had the carb rebuilt and converted the Jeep to a 12 volt system with new electrical wiring. The engine sounds very good and does not smoke or use oil. The transmission and transfer case do work. I had the transmission rebuilt and it works well but it is sometimes difficult to get into second gear. It seems to be getting better with use. All gages are in good working order and the speedometer is new. The seats have been recovered as can be seen in the pictures. I also installed a new correct fuel tank and the Jeep has new tires on it. This Jeep is missing very little to make it complete. I do not have a top or top bows, what you see in the pics is what I have.”
