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
No pics, but there might be value here.

Looking for Willys parts or a restorer for your jeep and are located in Canada? You might try Willys Acres at 3224 Line 7 North (Coulson) Oro Station, Ontario, Canada. They have a collection of jeeps for sale, including the Boyer Fire Jeep in the post below.
From the company’s website, “First and foremost, we are a Canadian company that takes pride in the satisfaction of restoring World War II military jeeps and being able to sell very rare jeep parts for those that wish to do the work themselves…. We restore complete vehicles. The customer vehicles in the Photo Gallery are awaiting restoration. Our facilities consist of about 8,000 sq. ft. … We have about 50 jeeps in our Jeep yard, so have a look to see if any suits your fancy.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
It runs, though the body has some dents.
“

It has $800 in new parts including; new tires, new soft top, new turn knuckles, new brake pads and new break lines.

The engine is out.
“
1957 Willies Jeep civilian version. The body is in good condition over all although there is a small amount of rust in the front passenger fender (I’ve included a photo of it), the paint and interior are in fair to good condition and the tires have 75% of the tread left. It comes with the original Hurricane 4 engine which is currently not running because we removed the radiator to start the process of replacing the rear main seal but never got it done. It also comes with the original 3-speed manual transmission. For an additional $1,500 I’ll include a Chevy V8 383 stroker and a new turbo 350 hydro transmission with torque converter. Motor includes all accessories: carburetor, alternator, brackets and pully’s. Also take a look at my 1957 Military style Willies Jeep I have for sale as well. (It’s located in Lindon)”
Brett spotted this. It’s pretty rough. Lots of pics.
“About 5 years ago it was driven around the farm Motor was rebuilt in 1974. I’m helping a disabled gentleman who still owns this and doesn’t know how to use a computer. Text or email with an offer.”

Does this have the proper rear hubs? I don’t see them (could just be the picture).
“Believed to be an “Radio Dispatch Jeep, with larger battery compartment and larger generator. Not sure of the exact year, maybe you can help me figure that one out? Great restoration project for those enthusiast. Has original engine, no transfer box, and a spare tire not pictured. It is now in a hanger at Greenfield Airport in Wright City, Mo. ”

No Engine.
“Jeep is ready for restoration. Engine block is missing. This was in Arizona until 4 years ago.
This Willis Jeep body is in good condition.”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $500.
There’s value in the rolling chassis (posi front and rear).
“I have a 1957 cj-5 roller with posi front and rear differentials, full cage roll bar, good front clip and a salvageable tub. There is not an engine, transmission or transfer case for this jeep. I do have a seperate turbo 350 advanced adapted to a twin stick dana 18 transfer case. This roller has a 4 inch Rancho Lift and power steering. No title on this jeep.
I have lost interest in this jeep, as I have my heart set on a 69 chevy short bed truck. I will consider all trades for 67′ thru 72′ chevy trucks complete trucks with or with out paper work to trading parts for parts. I need a 68 front clip, bed, or a good running 350,454………. Thank you for looking and will consider parting out, partial trades, or cash, etc..”
UPDATE: This sold for $600. It looks like a good buy at that price.
The seller lists this as a ’51, but it looks like a MB to me. Must sell quickly.
“I am selling an antique 1951 Willy Jeep, it comes with original engine. I bought it as a hobby to restore but now we are moving and we must sell it ASAP.”
**SOLD** Was $650.
This is a project or parts truck.

It looks like a black can of spray paint went wild in the cab of this rig.
“it is a 1947 Willys Jeep that has a half cab on it. they made very few that had the half cab on them. the 4×4 workes great. has a two speed transmition that works hard to cahnge over some times just needs to be greesed. just re insilated and then also it has a new battery. miles is 20961 WILLING TO TAKE OFFERS emal or text me at (360) 7758013 please do not call normally in school.”

UPATE: Still Available
(03/11/2010) This looks like a good price. I’m not sure if this is a DJ with an extended rear mod or a CJ-3A with a the wrong year??
“1963 Willys jeep. Off road use only, not street legal. Great hunting vehicle! Motor runs good, has 4 wheele drive. Asking $2000.00 Call Frank @ 520-730-7487”

UPDATE: Last priced at $2750. **Status Unknown**
(12/22/2010) This looks like it is missing the tranny cover. This has one of the angled dashes that I believe to an aftermarket option. I’ve seen this on several jeeps.
“1953 jeep for sale. 4 cyl. 1976 pinto motor automatic. Thanks for looking!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000

UPDATE: Still Available. Price bumped to $3200.
(06/22/2010) You gotta check out the mods on this jeep. I can’t remember seeing a cable roller installed quite the way this one was done. Check out the front fenders, too.
“Ok here goes… To the best of my knowledge this is a 1944 willys military jeep. Vehicle has no title and is being sold as parts. Gussett no. is 244,0xx. Some one has done extensive modification to this jeep ! get ready ! Its got a f-85 olds six cylinder engine (non running) A PTO SHIFTER AND THE PTO GEAR BOX FROM A CJ JEEP. (Drive line currently to PTO gear box is hooked into axle winch). The pto gear box seems firm but the Pto shifter wont shift with normal pressure, im not going to force it ! possibly will need dismantled and gone threw or may just need cleaned Extra rear axle converted to a winch with lots of cable, the winch cable is to the front of the jeep thru rollers. Electrical plug in socket in rear panel( I beleive this is origional) IT ALL SO HAS A CORVETTE T10 BORG WARNER TRANSMISSION, WAS FOR 1963 IMPALLA 409 SS or corvette 327 APPLICATION ORIGIONALLY ( T10148B T10D-1) the transmissions origional tail shaft is now replaced with the transfer case and PTO to make every thing in sinc. There are a lot of extra parts that go with the Jeep,i wont list but you will see in pics. this jeep also has a tilt steering colum ! I beleive it has a m38 windshield. Ive discribed jeep the best i can, between pics and discription you shoud get a good discription, That said vehicle, or parts come with no warrenty . If jeep doesnt reach reserve, but if i so choose to still sell to higest bidder, the transmission will not be included in sale, but will be included for a additional 600 dollars.”

UPDATE: Master Cylinder, Handle, Hinges and heater are sold.
I’m cleaning up the garage and have items I’m not going to use. Perhaps someone needs them? d@willys.com …
This is a 1949 CJ-3A drain that sits under the hood and is supposed to act as a drain for water that sneaks in along the rear of the hood. It’s not in perfect shape (some dings), but I can’t remember seeing one for sale. $10 + shipping.
Brand new spring bushings (1955-1975) (6 total) free +shipping
Dana 18 parts. I can send gear numbers if necessary. Make offer.
Leftover dana 20 gears. Make offer.
Specifically, it seems one of my fingers is either broken or dislocated (two different diagnoses) while playing basketball today. The worst part was that we had just barely started playing. I had hoped the swelling would decrease enough to allow more efficient typing, but that did not happen.
However, there was some good news. Not only did I make the shot, but it was the ring finger on my left hand that was damaged, a finger I have no further use for anyway. That poor finger has been more damaged, on and off the court, than any of my other fingers :-).
UPDATEIII: Now on ebay http://www.ewillys.com/?p=53328
UPDATE II: You can view larger pics here: http://jpegbay.com/gallery/000807963-.html of this fake ad. The seller will only take payment via Google Checkout because he is in such a hurry. Paul points out something I missed — this has an 8″ lift … or not! Thanks to John for detective work on this one.
UPDATED: John alerted me that this GPW is also listed for sale in Chicago. Since neither ad mentions the jeep being in either city, be on a scam watch just to be safe.
This could be a reasonable price. Appears in good shape. The hood blocks are in a strange location.

I was checking out Wes’ Offroad Action site the other day and ran across this amazing photo. There is no evidence to support the rumor that the driver was texting just before this occurred (in fact, texting was a few decades away yet). But, I’ll make the claim anyway. See kids, particularly my kids, don’t text and drive off road!
