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 priced at $800
(09/18/2010) Maggie forwarded this project. It looks like a good price.

(08/30/2010) I’m not sure if that is supposed to be an artistic paint job or a repair.

(05/24/2010) Brett spotted this nicely restored CJ-6 with a unique looking paint job.
“Up for sale is a RARE 1959 CJ-6. This vehicle has been restored and has no rust. It is painted and marked in air force Blue. It has a 289 V8 motor. It runs and drives well. New gas tank. This jeep also has the rare Hard top. The person I bought it from clamed it was a Flight Line jeep. I have no documation on this. This is a must see if you are looking for a CJ-6. $6500.00 or best offer.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay
(12/26/09) This build looks interesting as it has some unique touches. The top is certainly unusual and is probably a relief on hot summer days. I’d like to get some more detail pics of this one.
“This jeep has given us much fun on off-roads and hunting trips. It hasn’t been driven on the highway since we have owned it. We trailer it to and from the mountains. We purchased it from the original owner, who bought it new in 1946 and has since passed on. We have made a lot of changes since we’ve owned it. These changes include diamond plate on part of the body, and we Rhino-lined the rest of the outside body, (has a small crack in Rhino-line on hood). Includes a wider wind shield than original. (see pictures) It has a removable vinyl top that converts easily into a bikini top. Zip-off side windows can be attached to the top. Removable vinyl covered half doors. Full front bench seat with saddle blanket seat cover and shoulder-strap seat belts. CB Radio with antennae, cassette/radio player and speakers. Tilt steering wheel. Oil, temp and volt gauges but no speedometer. Roll Cage. Gun rack above windshield inside holds 1 gun. Front and rear heaters. 12 Volt system with new battery. Front wiper on driver side. Auxillary front lights. Power Steering. Front-end has a little play in steering. Buick V-6 motor with electric fan and dual exhaust. 3 Speed manual transmission. M-M front outside locking hubs, hi-lo 4×4 levers inside. Front Disc Brakes. Rear Drum Brakes. Front and rear shocks. Mag Wheels with Wild Country Radials ATV 32×11.50 R15 LT Tires. Spare tire on back rack. Cooler rack on back also. Ten gallon gas tank and extra 5 gallon gas can in carrier on back.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
“1945 CJ2A. It is the #277 making it the 277 civilian jeep ever built. It starts, runs and drives. It shifts just fine and the transfer case works fine as does the 4 wheel drive. The drive train is complete and original. The brakes don’t work, most of the gages don’t work, the lights don’t work, there is no parking brake handle. It still has the 6 volt system but when I was driving it I believe it was running just off the battery. The motor sounds good but smokes at times but then it hasn’t been run for many years until recently and then only for a hour or so. It has a MB engine in it. It may be the original engine and then again it might not as they were making these side by side the WWII jeeps when this was made during the last part of the war. It has the front frame cover, original metal spoke steering wheel, original early parking lights and the very very early square washer windshield. Of course it is the early colum shift as well. This jeep is going to need repairs and parts to get it on the road and alot of work if your looking to restore it to 100% original, which I hope you will. The body while not bad is not as good as the pictures make it look. There is alot of amature body work on it. Fine if you just want to make it road worthy, but if restoring it you’ll have some work to do. you some. As you can see there is no gas tank, no seats and no tailgate. I had picked up many of the parts to restore this over the years but I’m not including them in the sale of the jeep, however they are available after if you need them. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4250
A great looking jeep with nice mods.
“• It is a 1948 Willys CJ3A tub on a 1972 Jeep CJ5 frame & running gear
• The motor is a Ford 302
• The transmission is a Dana T-150 3 speed
• The transfer case I believe is a Dana T-18
• The front axle is a Dana 30 or 35, I’ll have to check
• The rear axle is a Dana 44
• I think the axles have 3.73 gears, I’m not 100% sure though
• It has 15”x8” black steel wheels with 32×11.50R15 Super Swamper TSL SX tires
• It has recently new Rancho leaf springs front and rear, unknown brand shocks (I’d say it has about a 3”-4” lift)
• The inside floor and roll cage were rhino lined
• It has older Mustang front seats
• Grant GT Steering wheel
• Has original speedometer gauge, the other gauges are aftermarket (tachometer, oil press, fuel level, battery level, and water temp)
• Electric windshield wipers
• Bikini top
• No radio, no heat, no power steering, no power brakes (drum brakes all the way around)
• The engine has custom full-length headers leading into dual exhaust exiting out each side, Holley intake manifold, Edelbrock carburetor & air filter, off-line dual oil filters and an aluminum radiator
• It runs excellent but needs a few leaks fixed (where the off-line oil filters connect to the stock oil filter location on the block, at the bottom of the oil dipstick, oil pan, and the transmission (I don’t know exactly where it is leaking at the transmission))
• It needs a clutch adjustment”

This has a variety of upgrades.
“frame off resroration about 2yrs ago. 4 wheel disc brakes, overdrive, modern steering upgrade, lockers front and rear, warn winch original flathead 4 cylinder. asking $ 10,000 will consider serious offers.”
This is a running M-151, though it is certainly dirty.

Gerald and I were exchanges some emails and he mentioned that his brother and he rebuilt a Mitey Mite a few years back. I think he was trying to inspire me with the Champs? Here are a few pics.
Gerald wrote, “My brother did a Mity Mite a few years back. Toughest project we ever worked on. It was a basket case literally.”
Brian spotted this ‘find’. There’s nothing like a 4wd Triumph.
“1980 triumph convertible on jeep CJ5 frame, 6 cylinder. Everything there, just needs finished. 1700.00 of best offer. Call if interested 734 770 1272”

Bonus points if you can explain exactly what a “rape date nase car” is …

It looks like the build isn’t complete. Or maybe these are old pics?
“cj3b willys jeep, a complete build from the ground up, way to much to list, have q’s email me, would like to trade for a cj5 or cj7 with a v8, or a cherokee with a lift and wheels and tires,email me any time thanks 5000.00 obo”

This appears in good shape.
“1949 Willyz Jeep in great running condition. Will allow test drive for serious buyer. Four new non-directional tires; recent paint job (orange); new front floor board; comes with canvas top and doors that are in excellent condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Apparently, the carb was changed in ’54 and there is a plaque on the dash verifying this?
“’43’ Willys Jeep, plaque on dash states that carburator was changes by army in ’54’ / Brakes and transmission gone through and repaired, good tires, engine also gone over. Gas tank needs cleaning. Price is firm, more into it than that.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
This looks good, but it’s missing the drain holes. I suspect there’s been some body work.
“Willys Jeep CJ-2A. V-8 Motor. New Tires on Polished Aluminum Wheels. Recent Paint. Rust Free.
Including: Spare Tire; Military Wheels and Tires; Extra Transmission. 5800 OBO. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD**. Was listed at $500.
