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 $7500. **SOLD**
(07/27/2010) “Motor rebuilt – with now only 500 miles; Excellent condition; All original; New seats; Aluminum top; Full roll cage; Please contact if interested. $7,500 OBO (or best offer)”
Pete (from the Old Willys Forum) forwarded a letter from Casey announcing the 2nd Annual Willys Truck and Wagon Rally in Moab on May 14 & 15, 2011.
If you have never been to Moab or Southern Utah, it truly is a treat. I lived in Utah for 9 years and traveled down to Southern Utah every chance I got, though never had a jeep during my time there. So, I had to explore on foot or by bike. There are still places I want to explore down there (For example, I have yet to hike the subway in Zion NP or the Wave in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness at the border of Utah and Arizona)
=========
Hello all,
Were doing it again! The 2nd annual Willys Rally will be held in Moab UT on May 14th-15th. You will find the Flyer attached. This year WILL be bigger and more exciting. I learned alot last year and cant wait to do it again on a much larger scale. We have plans for T-Shirts with a variation of the print on the flyer. It should turn out to be a keeper.
Please save the date and send your RSVP’s via e-mail to caseydimmitt@yahoo.com Please include # of people, Names (including screen names), e-mail, telephone #, Address, Year/ model Willys, Also specify Mens size or Womens size and how many of each you would like.
The Plan with the shirts is to finalize the design and then get pricing based on the based on your interest. At that point I will let yall know how much they will be and put the order in for the shirts . I’ll order as many as I can get orders from from you folks before I leave for the event. There wont be shirts to buy at the event and you must come to Moab to get them! Please let me know what you think of the graphic.
I plan on being there for a full week this time to see all Moab has to offer. Not sure if it will be the week prior or after the event…We may camp, we may hotel it. Who knows??? I’ll keep you posted for those that want to make it more than a 2.5 day event that it was last year.
Thanks

Here’s a buyer looking to find a starting crank. I hadn’t seen what they looked like until I saw this ad.
“Wanted – original 2 pc hand starting crank for a Willys CJ2A Jeep. email or call 910 934 3144”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
This looks like it might be in good shape.
“1960 Jeep Willys pickup. SuperHurricane, Straight Six 4×4. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
(11/04/2010) This looks like a good rig with a variety of updates. I wonder if it has an updated rear end given the Dana 20.
“Overall in good shape…305 chev v-8,t18 3spd,dana 20 t-case,pop out windshield frame,tilt steering, new seats,paint,centerline wheels,good tires, auto meter tach,runs well..lots of power,4×4 works well,has tow bar,new fuel cell, and battery box,has been re-wired, has original dash tags, clean wash. title, also has plate”
Sure, it is a mess, but it has Desert Dogs!
“Complete Has overhead valve engine out of a newer (1950s-60s) jeep. Frame broken near grill. Has Willys stamped on windshield frame. Tub has been patched a few times but it it almost 70 years old. Great for parts. Was a mudder before frame broke about 15 years or so ago. I unhooked the generator and put a battery in it last summer and it whirled over but thats as far as I went. 740-464-0363 I will consider trades. No title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1875. It was listed on eBay
This has a solid looking body, though there have been a few mods to it (and the rest of the jeep).
“Well I’m sure no expert on jeeps, but this m-38 jeep was almost given to me by a friend. This information is just as I’ve received it from him.
This jeep has just sat idle in a car port for the last 5 years or so. First I will list the minuses as I see them. It has not run for several years. It needs seats (but I have the base frames). It will require whatever sitting idle for 5 years would require. (fresh gas, tune up, fluids, battery etc). I do not have a top, or a key.
Now for some of its pluses.
This Jeep had a v-6 Buick professionally installed some years back. The install looks as if it came from the factory. (nice Job)
This jeep was running and driving well when it was last parked. It has the military 5:38 gears, axe mount, and one run “dark light”.
This jeep is almost 60 years old and not rusty. The floors, bed, and body are excellent.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,500. Pretty girl added.
(06/25/2009) This looks really nice, but I’m not sure I’m big on the palm fronds.
“1948 Willys Jeepster ,Converted To each Cruiser.All restored has some paint blemmishes,4 cylinder 6 volt 3 on the tree tranny.Have originol top ,boot and side windows clean. Was running great has 2 week cylinders needs rebuilt ”
This has seen some changes. Check out how low the front shackles sit.
“1946 WILLYS JEEP 80’S MODEL GM 4CYL WAS RUNNING BUT HAD CARB TROUBLE? NO SEATS NO TOP TODD SIX O SIX 63 4 SIX NINE 58”
http://eastky.craigslist.org/cto/2084457010.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
It runs. Has the wrong top.
“1954 Willys CJ3B , 4-Wheel Drive with plow. Needs some TLC, runs great, would make a nice winter plow truck or a restoration project. There are no brakes, vehicle has been sitting, floor pans are shot, but the little beast keeps running.”
It’s rough, but mostly complete.
“1946 Jeep Willys. This is an unrestored Jeep Willys CJ2A. Sold on Ebay and Buyer never came through…So 2nd Chance for you!
This Jeep is sold as is. Everything appears to be there: engine, drive train and transmission. I don’t know how long it has sat and or ran. It rolls and can be restored to something special or used for parts. Will ship-you pay based on formula below. If you are in the area then arrangements can be made through seller. Buyer pays for all shipping costs. I do not currently have a title. I have a bill of sale from the lady I purchased it from. You have to file for a lost title. All of the numbers match: frame, tub, motor, etc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
(11/21/2010) Here’s a rough project.
“Willys cj2a body rough, runs but hasn’t been started this year”
UPDATE: Still Available
(09/26/2010) I’d say this is a project.
“1952 willys flatfender, Chevy 4.3L engine, high performance computer, everything in picture included, plus a few extras, no axles no tires, This was a project that I never got around to finishing. It is set up for a three link suspension in the front and back, includes rear drive shaft, transfercase and manual transmission, engine runs good. No rust on body or frame. CALL ONLY, If you email – I will assume it is spam. 707-485-1806 asking $1500 or make me your best offer.”
http://mendocino.craigslist.org/pts/2031086378.html
It appears the restorer spent a great deal of time turning this CJ-2A into a militarized-CJ-2A.

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon the National Archives of Canada the other day, discovering a variety of WWII Jeep images related to Canadian forces.
2. Troopers of the Three Rivers Regiment in a jeep, England, 22 July 1942.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
(11/04/2010) There’s work to be done, but the body looks good.
“Willys Jeep with a 231 Buick V6 engine and trans complete with driveshaft to rear end. Much body work done. Needs someone to finish this awesome project.”
UPDATE: Was $4000. **SOLD**
This needs a little work.
“1951 Willys Overland on original frame and suspension. V6, automatic, tilt steering wheel, power steering. Has been on jack stands in my garage for the last 5 years. Needs some work but is in overall good condition. Does not run. Comes with a car dolly”
I’m gonna guess this is an early 50s Wagon given the flathead inline 6 cyl.
“1950’S?? 4X4 WILLYS WAGON 6 CYL FLAT HEAD ENGINE, NOT RUNNING, SOME BODY WORK STARTED, GREAT RESTORATION PROJECT. PLEASE CALL 520-818-2758 OR 520-419-4336. 1,000. OR BEST OFFER.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Hasn’t run in 20 years.
“I have a Old (not sure of year) Willys Jeep.It was my late stepdads and he has passed away and i dont see any reason to let it sit and rust. The body is rusted pretty bad but the chassis and engine are in good shape. With some sheet metal work the body would be an easy fix. Does not run since parked 20 some odd years ago. would be great restoration project. comes with hydraulic dump bed.(custom made i believe not sure). It has a four cylinder engine and manual transmission. I would say this is a 54 from what my stepdad told me before he passed away. I do have a title for this vehicle but it will take a few days to dig it up but i will write a bill of sale if needed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $225.
Not a pad price.
“This is a pair of 31×15.50×15 Goodyear Wrangler XT Terra Tires mounted on 15″ steel rims with Ford 1/2 ton and Jeep 5 bolt pattern. The rims are straight and the tire sidewalls are free of cracks. There are tubes installed and lots of tread left. Price is $225.00 USD for the pair or best reasonable offer. Cash only.”

Here are some more pics from the same source as yesterday’s pics (crated Jeeps and Seeps). These all show the assembly of jeeps at different stages in the process. Note this first image is backwards (the transfercases are all extending to the left rather than the right, unlike the second image).
Ran a few years ago …

A reader named Robert in Reno, Nevada, is looking for an engine for his Wagon.
Robert writes, “I’m looking for a Lighting L-6 161 Engine 673 Model 1950/1951 for my 51 Willys stationwagon”
If anyone knows of anything, just add a comment or email me and I’ll let Robert know.
