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 .

(04/27/2010) This looks like a well modified truck.
“Rare 1949 Willys Jeep Truck; Straight – New paint; Chevy late model 3/4 ton running gear; Chevy truck 4 spd – 205 transfer case; ARB lockers front & rear; 350 Chevy motor; Power steering.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(05/20/2010) This is a nice color scheme.
“‘1950’s Willys Jeep Wagon. In excellent condition inside and out, runs like a champ. 3 speed, 4 wheel drive, original drive train, 302 motor, 2 tone green. This jeep would make an excellent Hot August Night Project. Must see to appreciate.”
I spoke with Bob over the weekend and he mentioned stopping by 4 Wheel Drive Hardware’s 13th annual Jamboree in Ohio. He estimated there were over 300 jeeps and plenty of things to look at and do. Among the things he learned was that the Butler Pennsylvania Tourism office wants to produce a large Jeep Festival during Aug 12-14, 2011, where they hope to hold the largest Jeep Parade ever held (and over take Colombia’s Guiness Record).
From Butler Tourism’s website, “Bantam Jeep Year-Long 70th Birthday Celebration Kicks Off Summer 2010: Jeep enthusiasts, automotive and military history buffs and thousands of visitors will make their way to Butler County to celebrate the Bantam Jeep’s 70th birthday throughout 2010 and 2011. Butler is the birthplace of the Jeep. The Bantam Jeep was developed and produced in 1941 by Butler’s American Bantam Car Company in response to the U.S. Army’s request for an all-purpose military vehicle. Nearly 3,000 Jeeps were produced at Bantam’s Butler factory.
To celebrate the Jeep’s 70th birthday, a year-long celebration will begin June 2010 and culminate with the first Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival August 12-14, 2011. The festival will feature off-roading opportunities, historical displays, a Jeep parade/cruise and other events. ”
I sent an email today to the office of Tourism and was surprised to see a response within a couple hours, which included an offer to keep us updated on the festival progress along with this attached pdf brochure.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
“I have an old Willy’s I need to get rid of. Its been stored inside for at least 30 years. I aquired it several years ago, never found the time to do anything with it, and trying to make more room. It has a very rare Worman Jee-Cab hardtop on it as well. Was told it ran when it was parked, but I have never tried anything with it. If interested, please reply though craigslist, as my email goes directly to my phone.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $875
This looks like a pretty low price for a running CJ-5.
“Jeep runs strong has a 304 fresh rebuilt runs an drive have a clean title. 4×4 works only thing it needs is body secured to frame better it is bolted but could be stronger but is driven as is. asking 875 i have spare parts for jeep. needs radiator an fan but came with an electric fan an recently got a radiator for it. needs master cylinder cuz front brakes dont work the best but still stops!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was an in-person-auction.
No details on the Jeep, though it appears to be missing a radiator, so I suspect it doesn’t run. The auction occurs Saturday, July 31, 2010.
This is a project..
