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 .

‘Spring over axle conversion. 36″ Mickey Thompson tires on aluminum wheels. Original 4 cylinder engine and 3 speed standard transmission. It is in good condition. Runs and drives but needs some work.”

This looks in great shape especially for an old Ohio vehicle.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This looks like a great price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This might be a good price despite its not running status.
“I have a 1947 Willy’s Jeep for sale, The Jeep is not running and am selling because I don’t have time for this project. I have the title in hand. It would be a great project for someone. The model is a CJ2A it is not the orginal motor and has an extra set of tires, I am asking $1000 or best offer, Can help deliver in the Cedar Rapids area, ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
I’m not sure I’d say the body is in “great shape”.
“An old red and white jeep willys the body is still in great shape the engine has most parts needs some work perfect piece of history needs new windshield. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
This is pretty beat up. Note the old Desert Dogs.
“Complete 47 Willys for parts maybe. Engine not stuck. No title. Broken frame in front. CJ5 Tub No Title $300. Windshield Frame $75. Full Roll Cage $150. Will consider trades.”
It sounds like this has seen a pretty thorough rebuild.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Looks in good shape.
“I HAVE OWND THIS FOR 35 YRS ALWAYS SHEDDED NO RUST ABOUT 300 MILES ON $2500 ENGINE/ STARTER OVERHAUL 24 VOLT 100 AMP GENERATOR AS A COLLECTABLE IN VERY NEAR FULLY RESTOREABLE CONDITION I’M ASKING FOR THE BEST OFFER OVER $6,500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
It drives and runs. Note the driver’s side entrance has been trimmed down and the back appears to have an addition of some kind.
“For Sale is a 1943 Willy’s Jeep Model MB. This vehicle has been used on a ranch for the last 30 years. It has a flathead 4cylinder engine,( I think it is the original), 4Wheel drive, comes with a snow plow with hydraulics. Tires are all snow type, (one is a little dry cracked on the side but hold air). We have a clear title and bill of sale from 1980. This vehicle is a little rough but does run and drive good. It would be good for a ranch or for restoration or for parts for someone who has another one and needs original parts. Because it is a 1943, jeep history says it was built for the Military so it may have seen time in WWII.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $1200.
I can’t tell if these are $1200 each or $1200 for both. The VEC has the indents but I can’t tell for sure if it had a column shift or not.
“GOT 2 JEEP WILLYS BOTH PROJECT CARS ALL COMPLETE. BOTH HAVE STANDARD TRANSMISSIONS. ”
This looks like a solid truck, though it needs the wiring finished and there is some rust.
“1949 Willys Jeep Truck, 4×4. flat 4 motor, 3 speed column shit. I have converted to a gm alternator and 12 volt battery. Tires are good and body is in great shape. The only rust is on the bottom of the doors. Truck starts, runs and drives, but needs a tune up and wiring finished.”

It looks like someone bought this last fall (2009) , added some seats, cleaned up the front, and is reselling it.
“Needs new tires,just put in new seats,and will be adding the windshield in few day(not the glass).Jeep runs great and is pretty quite,so it would even be great for deer hunting. It is 4w dr. Does not have a title. but have all the info to obtain one.”

Just a couple updates tonight. The kids have me sufficiently worn out, so I’ll wait until tomorrow to add some listings.
Paul sent this awesome pic of the most unique radio flyer I have ever seen. Paul reports from Alaska, “Sunday, August first, I went to an outdoor car show even though the weather forecast predicted heavy rainfall. Naturally, with the low lying gray clouds and the expected rain the turnout was less than in years past but with the summer season drawing to a close there were still quite a few interesting cars, trucks and motorcycles but what caught my eye wasn’t any one of these. I’ve attached a picture of this impressive ehicle, just looking at the picture causes me to grin and when I watched it being driven down the road to the show I about fell over I was laughing so hard.”
Mike’s built a nice looking truck.
Mike writes, “This is my Baby. It took 3.5 years to build it was going to be a restore but it couldn’t be done. So I took a 1/2 ton chevy truck frame and narrowed and shorten it. I dropped in a 454 chevy and many other goodies. It is a show winner and a great off road toy.”
Here are a couple pics.
UPDATE: Price now $1600
(07/17/2010) This might not be a bad price.
“1950 willy’s jeep 4×4 —–chevy 350 in the jeep—turbo 350 tranny in the jeep–it has a painless wiring kit–power steering —vac booster–CB radio—updated guages–tilt steering wheel—newer soft top—- it has 539 gears —-fender wall headers w/mufflers also have many extra parts such as mtr–dana 44 axels—I have the front clip for it, the pic shows no clip because of motor swap
