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 .
Here’s another round of pics from the 1961 Four Corners trip his father-in-law and his father-in-law’s father took. You can see the earlier round here.
Now, for a bit of trivia, the four corners monument is actually 1800 feet away from the real point where the four states meet. You can learn why here.
And here they have arrived at the Four Corners, a place which looks a bit different than it looks now!
A reader named Blaine couldn’t resist getting a shot with this Champ. You probably remember it from this post. Apparently, it’s still available. They do sort of grow on you ….
Blaine writes, “Here is the restored Champ in Scottsdale, AZ with me standing next to it. My son wanted to show me a car lot with collector cars ,and lo and behold, here is the Champ. I’m in Phoenix for the FC Roundup right now.”

There’s some value here, but hard to tell how much from these pics.
“NO TITLE, this is a 1947 Willys that will be sold as is, $1000.00 or best offer.”
This looks pretty good. I bet with a coat of green paint this could look very good.
“This jeep is all original. Has a title and is 95 percent complete. I spent approximately 8k eleven years ago restoring it. It has been sitting outside in the weather. It needs the canvas all the way around and someone with time to work on it. If you are interested call me at 727 7485264. Thank you.”

Vin: 5526873837

Here is your chance to won a piece of automotive history! This is a Restored Jeep Willys Pickup that is in very nice condition. This Willys with the 226 Hurricane engine and 3 speed transmission runs like the day it came off the Showroom floor! The transmission shifts well trough the gears and the twinstick 4wd works great. There is no major rust in this Willys and the vehicle has been repainted and the paint shows very well!
The spare tire holder that use to be located on the bedside has been moved to inside the bed to give this truck a very clean look.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
The large speedometer indicates the body is a post 1956 CJ-3B. So, I’m not to sure how accurate the date is.
“1952 Jeep Willey high hood (very rare). Runs just fine. 4 cylinder. Mechanically sound. Ready for the road or mountain trail”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1400. A reader took a look at this and gave the following report: There was no documentation on the Chevrolet drive train components. It supposedly has a rebuilt 350, with AT and has a GM rear end of some kind. Front diff appears stock. Cab is decent outside. with some pinhole rust. Glass appears good except for drivers door. Inside of cab is trashed. No seats. No cover. No air cleaner on engine. Carb is full of dust, bugs and whatever, so it certainly does not appear that the engine has been taken care of. Bed looks useable, with. some rust on flat panels but restorable. Owner said he had a title, but he could not produce it the day I was there.
(05/25/2010) This is still a project.

(09/25/2010) See Mike’s comments regarding the titling process in Ohio (thanks Mike!). There’s been a variety of updates to this, including the lengthening of the fenders and hood.

(01/27/2011) Is it just an illusion, or is there no battery box lid?

(03/08/2011) It looks like it’s been stored a while.

(03/18/2011) It runs and is supposed to have little rust. Might be a good deal.
“I have a 1952 Willys M38 Jeep for sale. Great project, has the original flat head 4 cylinder engine which still runs, not much rust, tub is in good shape, comes with 2 different rollbars and extra parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900
(02/27/2011) Lots of customization to this flattie.
“Flat Fender Willy’s Jeep. 350 Chevy engine, headers, Edelbrock carb and intake, aluminum radiator, Accel electronic ignition, runs very strong. TH350 Chevy automatic transmission mated to what I believe is a Toyota aluminum transfer case with a Downey adapter. I believe the front and rear axles, frame, and steering to be Toyota also. Power brakes, nearly new 36×12.5×15 TSL Super Swamper radials on Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels. The tires still have the nubs on them. It has a Bestop soft top only, Simpson harnesses, Mallory gauges and electric fuel pump. I’m not sure how much lift this thing has, but the frame rails are about 24” above the ground, it has a trailer hitch. It has an older paint job and there is bondo cracking especially where they molded in the flares and hood scoop. This Jeep is titled as a 1998 assembled vehicle. $5900or possible trades for old school Harley, rat rod, hot rod, ’70-72 Chevy 4×4 short bed, ???? Reply to this ad with pics. Trade value must be equal or higher than my cash price, will negotiate for cash. I have a second ’47 Willys rock crawler that I would be willing to sell or add to the deal, email for pics/details. I ended up with both of them and am not a Jeep guy. Thanks for looking.”
Thanks to Brian for spotting this video. Though the music overshadows the narrator in many instances, there are a wide variety of images presented that make it work a look.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100.
“Large collection of Jeep willys, CJ, YJ and TJs Die Cast all different scale, some rare and old. Some Tonka, Hot Wheels, Matchbox. Must sell don’t have room for them anymore. Must see.”

Hard to tell just how bad the body is.
“1947 Jeep CJ2A, Includes everything in the pictures. Motor not in vehicle, but is original motor. Clear title and current plates. Project vehicle that needs a lot of work. Price: $800 / Best offer?”
It’s rough, but it runs and drives.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Carl wants to sell his good looking CJ-7 so he can purchase a flattie.
“This is my pride and joy. 1976 CJ7 4X4 with a quadratrac transfer case with high and low range. I started with a 76 cj7, took it down to the frame and started restoring. I spent 3 years building this jeep, invested tons of money and countless hours. I am only selling due to financial reasons.
All parts were cleaned, primed, painted, replaced or upgraded. The jeep is painted single stage John Deere yellow with Gun Metal Grey trim. Paint is excellent and just over a year old.(There are a few small cracks) Ready to go another 35 years. This jeep was designed for reliability. It has power steering and manual brakes. Manual brakes work excellent, no need to upgrade to power they work so well. The engine sound very solid and does not smoke. It had to have been rebuilt not so long ago. Transmission shifts smooth.
Will need a horn relay, the stereo hooked up and speakers, clock does not work. I would move the emergency drive switch from the glove box to the center consol. The glove box door hits the roll cage when trying to open. I have a few extra parts to go with it.
The top is gray and the doors are black. The top is not the newest but it works just fine…. view more description on eBay”
