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 .
Not 100% original, but looks good.

(07/23/2010) I don’t see any indications this is a VEC, but it’s in good shape.
“1945 WILLYS JEEP CJ2A . SMALL BLOCK CHEVY, VERY CLEAN, RANCHO SUSPENSION. WARN OVERDRIVE. MUST SEE!!”

(10/19/09) There is quite a bit of work left in this, including some body work to make the body meet the fenders.
“If you are interested in it…please call do not email or text and I will give you directions. Do not offer me anything less or I will counter with a higher price then I listed it for the price is firm… It just needs a few things like seat belts and a couple of tabs and braces welded on.

It has custom headers cherry bombs and all it needs is a little work on the shifter but runs awesome. Price should be a lot more.

(12/17/2010) This looks like a nice rebuild.
“51 Willys Jeep totally stock running gear completely rebuilt and replaced from the pressure plate to the tips of the axles. 3 speed transmission, transfer case and both axles have been completely gone through and rebuilt with 11″ brakes added and firewall mounted brake pedal. I have $4000 worth of receipts from Back Country Products for the running gear rebuild. This Jeep is all about Nostalgia. The motor is a 1955 Corvette 265 small block Chevy – very rare only 700 Corvettes built in 1955. This motor NEVER HEATS UP even in our hottest weather, wish I could say that of the street rods I have built. With an Enos wiring kit, batt relocated in the rear, nice bucket seats up front with driver seat adjustable so any size person can drive comfortably (I’m a big guy) a custom rear bench seat with 3 sets of lap belts for the grand kids, Corvette chromium yellow paint, a black and white striped bikini top and you begin to see this thing is for show and go. In 6 years since this project was completed I have put exactly 512 miles on it. All hauling kids over to 7-11 for slurpees – well its not far to 7-11. Always garage kept and never once taken off road, that’s why it looks the way it does today. If you don’t want to have people point and stare this is not for you. This thing draws as much attention as my street rods (had two motorcycle cops pull along side and talk Jeeps at a stop light today). This thing pulled the Bonanza High School freshman float at their homecoming this year. I am out of room and want to go off roading with my son and his rock crawler, my wife won’t lend me her Toyota Four Runner for such foolishness. It would be a sin to cut this up into a rock crawler. While it will do off road anthing and more a 51 Willy was designed for I am looking for a more aggresive off road rig and just can’t bring myself to start with such a beauty that is doing what is was built to do. Asking $5800 or trade for more aggressive off road vehicle or a Polaris Sportsman EFI. I don’t have to sell and I don’t have junk so don’t even go there with your offers. Don’t tell my grand kids… boy am I in trouble. Serious persons can call Gene 702-379-3980

UPDATE: SOLD.
“Extremely rare 1962 FJ3A Jeep. Serious inquiries only. One of 46 FJ3A’s produced in 1962. Originally the laundry truck for nuns at a private girls’ college near Toledo. I’ve owned it since the ’70’s. Runs and looks great. Garaged and stored for years but driven summers to Cruise-ins. So ugly…it’s cute.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
I don’t see indents, but it has a column shift. The SN# 10928.
“1945 Willys Jeep with snow plow; Runs OK but Drives poor, needs to be completely restored, not road worthy. 4X4 works. This is an early column shift Willys. Production number is 10928, this willys will be worth more once restored because of the low number. Comes with some new steering parts that need to be installed. Michigan title.”
It runs and includes a plow. The hardtop looks in good shape too.
“1961 Willys / CJ Jeep – 4 speed manual transmission, factory 4 cyl. eng., mileage unknown.
Runs but not well, might need a carb rebuild / tune or something, As you see it is how I bought it, I bought last year to use as plow truck for my property but am sick of tinkering with it I just dont know enough to fix it. Has Factory plow set up on it (works), the engine does not knock, has newer clutch, tires are ok, 4wd works, transmission seems good.
Interior is pretty much gone, body has rust, not the prettiest thing but parts wise and mechanically there is alot of good value here. It needs brakes, battery, radiator, maybe carb rebuild, knowledge and some time. Would be great for parts or with effort a good plow truck
Email me for contact info or any questions, thanks.”
http://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/2144315676.html
I’m not sure there is much value here.
“Was running in 2009. Wouldnt take much to get it going i dont think. This is how i bought it and I just dont have time to mess with it. The starter is off so that needs to be put back on and it needs a battery. I do not have the title. $750 obo. Call or text, text is preferred but you can also email”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
The color scheme and signage is unusual (in a good way I think).
“This 1960 Willys Jeep has only 16,000 miles on it. It is a 6 cylinder. The outside has some rust around the back corners of the cab. The interior is like new. It needs some work — the starter needs to be rebuilt or replaced and the brakes need some work. We have the original owner’s manual and service manual.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“1947 Willy’s CJ2A with Original Bantam trailer model T3-C serial # 6147. This Willy’s was purchased in Wisconsin after a frame off restoration approximately 100 miles ago. Always garaged, orig. tub, no floor rust, 12 volt conversion, solid frame. Engine is fantastic, starts everytime, little/no smoke. After months of winter storage no signs of oil leaks! Extras include a complete CJ2A frame, skid plate windshield canvas, (for transport), transfer case, PTO shifter. This Willy’s needs nothing other than a bath, I will post more pics after I clean her up. Bantam trailer is very cool, primed and ready to paint. Frame is in excellent condition, shackles are great! I think this is the original coupler, (fulton) I have lights and reflectors, as well as the original data plate. The serial numbers on the frame match the Cj2A body.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900

UPDATE: Price dropped to $700
(01/05/2011) Bob forwarded this ad. It has no motor or trans, but does have a S-10 sub-frame.
“This is a 1950 Willys Jeepster it is a project no engine or trans. It does have a Chevy S-10 front subframe on it already and a mopar rear end. I have the bows for the top, windshield frame and other parts under canvas. There is a rust hole on the passenger front corner that I have a patch for off another Jeepster . For better pics go to Buzzysrods.com look under cars for sale. Call Jeff 307-575-2626”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1700
(01/05/2011) This appears to be a lefty at first glance, but I can just make out the bow holders on the driver’s side. Also, I was able to lighten up the passenger side and I see no indication there were bow holders on that side, but it does appear their was a spare tire holder there. I suspect the corner is weak or rusted.

From Craig’s (from thefcconnection) never ending collection of unusual Jeep images comes this rare shot of the San Juan Scenic Jeep Tour Wagon convertibles. Jesse forwarded this image to me along with a snapshot of an uncompleted transformation of a Wagon the company had partly modified. You can see the earlier San Juan post here.
Technically, it was Dave Beamis who was modifying the wagon. He worked for San Juan Tours years ago. Dave would go on to start Crystal River Tours and his son, Dave Beamis, started and runs Crystal River Lodge with his brother.
Jesse reports, “all of the Scenic and Crystal River Tours FCs and Wagon Jeeps were repowered while in service, because of the altitude and amount of weight of the passengers, they removed the flathead Hurricane 6 and replaced it with the Chevy 250 or 292 inline 6 engines, with an adapter.”
Here’s the picture from Craig:
From Jesse is the image of an in-progress convertible wagon. Jesse notes, “this a picture of another wagon body that I bought. It was there, it was cut, but never hammer welded to be finished, Dennis said that when one was wrecked they would have extra bodies to replace on the running chassis. Notice this was on a 4×2 frame.”
This might make a good project if the engine is ready for assembly. The Az weather has probably preserved the boy pretty well.
“great resto project. engine was machined by napa, needs to be assembled. seats need recovering. will make an awesome crawler or hunting jeep. have title on hand. call 928-627-2407 after 6pm. or email.”

This is a real nice rig with custom suspension and more. You can’t build it for that price. If I remember correctly, the previous owner sold it after building a new jeep. I believe the front end was stretched 12 inches as well. I remember that because I was curious about how far to stretch my front clip, so i saved an image of it, which you can see at the very bottom.

Here’s an image of the same jeep 2 years earlier.
