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 .
That’s one of the lowest prices I have seen for a nice Drag Jeep. It sounds like the seller must sell this.

“6′ Snowplow blade and attachments. Manual lift. No winch. Had been previously mounted on our Willys Jeep.”

The seller also has some parts for sale too. The engine is stuck.
“Great jeep, has full aluminum top,with full doors,Sound mechanically except engine is still stuck. Cylinders look good,I suspect there may be a bad rod bearing.Think engine may be rebuild-able. Has 15 inch tires,12 volt system including generator,regulator turn signals.

The price dropped quite a bit.
“1947 Jeep runs good but needs new clutch. Sandblasted frame/tub with new primer with some surface rust. New exhaust system, new wiring.”
Here’s some a couple great pics of an early Ebro Cameador. You can view more images at http://www.angelfire.com/nb2/jeeppickups/Ebro.html.
Jeeps first started being assembled in Spain in 1952 by a company called VIASA, which means Vehículos Industriales y Agrícolas, S.A in spanish. I am not sure if VIASA ever made pickups, as I cannot find any records of them being produced. However, in the late 1970’s VIASA was absorbed into EBRO, another spanish company. The only pickup that I know of produced by EBRO was called the Campeador. It was a forward control pickup available in either single or double cab version, which was called the Duplex, as well as a van, called the Toledo/Furgon. At some time, Hotchkiss in France also produced these vehicles, but I can’t find any pictures of them. Production of these vehicles was from 1971-1985 in France. The Ebro name was discontinued in 1980.
A reader suggested I make a list of funny/unbelieveable/strange comments from real Craigslist Ads.
Here’s my top 10. Feel free to Add to them and I’ll update this list.
10. Needs a little TLC
9. This is completely original
8. I don’t know much about this, but I spent a bunch of time on ebay, so I know what this is worth.
7. The fuel pump broke about 40 years ago and we never got around to fixing it
6. According to NADA, this is worth ___(insert outrageous value here) ____
5. It’s all there, just needs to be put back together
4. this project is 95% complete
3. overall for its year the jeep is in good shape .. OR … runs great for its age
2. I was playing around in it and I broke ___ (insert about anything here) ___.
1. It ran when parked
UPDATE: This sure looks like a great price. This has likely sold.
It’s got a military grille, but the windshield appears to be a Willys.
“Runs and drives, perfect to use for hunting/trails or restore it!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This jeep looks a little giraffeish.
“51 willys jeep v6 3 speed manual 4×4 everything in working order have some parts $3500.00 or best offer”
1 is a parts jeep. Both look pretty stock.
“green jeep runs great 4 its age. yellow one is parts jeep. willing 2 trade 4 project hot rod, early 2 late 60’s car or? call me at 509-842-6670 anthony”
http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/1434351589.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
That back loop looks a little low.
“It’s a willys on steroids gm v6 converted to 12 volts, 4 speed trans, new battery, power steering, tilt wheel, aluminum offenhauser high rise intake, carb, hedders, new dual exaust, slight lift, new tires, bikini top and full canvas top and doors. and it is great on fuel. very rare and will do 80 all day long. $7500 or trade for a flats boat, newer jeep wrangler, or 4×4 ranger, or?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300
It looks rough. Apparently, the previous owner lacked some mechanical skills …
“i have a 1952 cj3 a willys jeep for sale or trade. over all the jeep for its year its in good shape but if someone was wanting to restore to original it would take a lot but something to look cool and just a fun toy to drive and work on this is a great project. right now it does run and drive and all the doors, windows and snow plow and heat works and it has a koigin metal works hard top on it that is in great shape. the things that are wrong with it is someone put a ford 170 straight six in it and to make it fit they had to cut up the floor board and fire wall a little and they did a horrible job patching it back together but it does keep the air out for the most part. they used an advanced adapters kit to put the ford in it so about and ford with the right bellhousing will bolt up to the transmission and it is the original transmission and tranfercase. the brake master cylinder leak a little and the only other thing i can really think of that is wrong with it is the front end. i was playing around in it and i broke the front spider gears so the front axle doesnt pull but the transfercase works and everything…..”
UPDATE: Was $2300. **SOLD**
I don’t think this is running.
“1946 Jeep Willys . Had a new 4 cyl motor installed in 2005 . RUNS !!Needs a battery, brakes and some TLC. has some body cancer . would make an awesome desert toy . is currently non-op but I do have the title . Also have the front fold down windowshield .

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“My jeep has been completly restored from the ground up, the frame was sand blasted and coated. The body is under coated. All the running gear has been rebuilt, the motor was rebuilt completly, it is the original motor that came in the jeep when bought new,I am the second owner. I have installed newer seats front and back, new floor mats,I built a compartment between the seats with a locking top, it has 5 – 15″ wheels with open country tires, there is a swing away stair tire rack on the back. I installed a new top, it has a built in radio and cassette player with 4 speakers. It has been driven around town and in parades.”
The serial number of 154827 suggests this is actually a 1948 not a 1949. There’s been a great deal of work and money spent on this judging from the chrome and clean lines.
” Has a Pennsylvania clear title, not a reconstructed. Vehicle is exceptionally clean, starting with the body: new all steel replica tub, front fenders, hood, grill assembly and 2-piece windshield from original vehicle. Has premium tailgate with Willy’s logo and shell has a glove box. There is no body filler on this vehicle. Paint is acrylic enamel with hardener and gloss additive, wet sanded and buffed. The color is General Motors Fleet White. Paint brand was DelStar…. Any further questions you can contact me, Mario, on my cell phone at: 412.292.6152 or email to: MarWilys@nauticom.net.”
Here’s two offroad retreads we can’t get in the United States (to the best of my knowledge). They are available from technopneu in Quebec (information courtesy of Felix at our new Quebec bureau!) & in the UK as shown below.
You can see the original post on retreads here.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
It’s not a willys, but it’s unusual.
“
1984 Jeep CJ10A. runner. Produced in the US for the military only. Exported elsewhere. This one is a flightline tow tractor. Factory Nissan 3.3 litre diesel engine and auto trans. Transfer case is locked into low for heavy towing. Will move 60,000 lb loads easy. Many of the parts are interchangable with the entire CJ line. Removable top. folding window. Good interior. 2 pics are of vehicle, 3rd is an export example. No title. My plan was to do a CJ10/5/7 type of conversion/pickup etc. No time as with lots of my projects. Must go soon.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750
“One owner since ’72; never restored, but more than maintained with everything new as needed; F-four, runs great,starts right up. All gears work fine including four wheel drive and low range gear box/shifter. Brakes and gauges work fine. Some rust on driver and passenger side step plate, under-seat storage compartments, but not as much as you would expect considering year/model. Everything in good working order;garaged since ’72;all maintenence records since ’72, fifth wheel/spare, full rain/dust cover”
I believe this has a MB Grille and windshield, but the other parts appear to be CJ-2A.
“I have a ’46 Jeep Willys MB. Everything is stock. Its been my project for quite some time. Its 4×4, flathead 4 cylinder manual 3 speed. I have done a lot of engine work. Replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, starter, alternator, regulator, front brakes, water pump, hoses, belts, etc.. It still needs work but the engine turns over and runs. It has a non op and i have the pink in hand. The body is straight but it needs a little bondo and paint. This is a true classic off road vehicle. I’m looking to see what else is out there for trades. I’d be interested in an older stepside or other 4×4. either project or running. If interested contact jamesw.bridges@yahoo.com”

The cage is starting to take shape. It’s only tacked together at the moment and the ‘spreader bars’ between the front and back loop are still PVC. The lower of the spreader bars isn’t at the correct angle either, but the real bar should be in by tomorrow.
