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 .
This has been modded a bit.

This appears to be an early GPW since I don’t see the indent on the top of the GPW grille.

This is a no reserve auction with a starting price of $600. It appears there is $600 worth of value here.
“Has new leaf springs and shocks. Leafs were put over axles to lift jeep. Reinforcement will be needed for steering from leaf over axle change. Changed from manual fuel pump to electric fuel pump. Engine runs but needs fuel pump modification for correct fuel intake. I did drive jeep before parking 3 years ago. I just don’t have the time to keep the project going.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
It has a top, a plow, and it appears to run.

Dave spotted this unusual vehicle; This might be the ultimate hunter … It creeps, it floats, it works on natural gas.
“This auction is for Russian army creeper all-terrain vehicle – amphibious GAZ-61-S.
Represents the floating all-terrain vehicle combining the cabin of the driver and awning cargo-and-passenger cabin. Was made in 1968 at the secret Gorkiy military plant and is created for exploitation in especially difficult road climatic conditions, for the delivery of the polar explorers and cargoes, to make surveys in such places as taiga, tundra, to deliver shift services on the objects of work, for the delivery of the supply and various goods.”

UPDATE: There’s been some discussion about the engine not being stock on the ebay ad. The stock inline 6 would have been an L 166 ‘lightning’ from what i have read. However, the engine looks so nice in there, I don’t think it matters that it isn’t original.
Here’s a beautiful car that comes with a matching coffee mug.
“This is a very nice Jeepster that has just completed a very thorough cosmetic restoration to high standards. It was totally rust free having been in southern California all its life. Last year the owner brought me a coffee mug from a café in San Diego and he told me “Restore my Jeepster to match this mug. I love the color!” I think we succeeded.
The Jeepster body was disassembled down to the body tub which was left on the chassis as the floors were perfect. Body work was performed as required and the beautiful green paint was applied, color sanded and polished. It is stunning. Fenders were painted off the car to get a nice finish under the hood. The black second color was done the same way. We repainted the interior and dash as well.
The rare factory original OHV six cylinder engine was cleaned and painted having been previously rebuilt and in great running condition. This is a much more desirable engine than the four which is most Jeepsters. The transmission is a three speed with overdrive. Brakes were recently redone and work great. Tires are recent and are Coker white walls with a newer spare to match. Exhaust is great. Shocks are all new and the front suspension was totally rebuilt.
The top and side curtains are all brand new in a tan color that offsets the green and black to perfection. Top frame was repainted. The seats are older but in great shape and are black to match the trim. Steering wheel is new reproduction ….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $125
There are two rims of two different sizes.
“set of turbine rims with chrome caps. 2-15″ x 8″ & 2-15″ x 10”. big ford bolt pattern (5 bolt). $125”
I can’t remember seeing hurricane rims like this with the ribs extending into the bolt area.
“These are 5 lug wheels with a 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. $150. Call 503-256-5240 or 971-219-0678 and visit http://garydunnchevparts.com”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a no reserve auction that starts at $800. Note this has the dually connectors on the rear and the engine runs.
“1960 JEEP FC 170. DUEL WHEEL, ALL WHEEL DRIVE. 6 CYL. FLATHEAD 4 SPD. ENGINE RUNS, WAS RECENTLY USED AS YARD PLOW. 29,148 MILES. HAVE MANY EXTRA PARTS INCLUDING FRONT AND REAR CAB CORNERS. GOOD GLASS. HAS AFTERMARKET RADIATOR WITH COOLING FAN MOUNTED ON REAR OF CAB, SEEMS TO WORK FINE. PLEASE CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING AS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS. ”
This has an unusual story. This was damaged in 1962 and never run again. It has 1,231 original miles.
“For Sale: 1961 willys CJ5. Has 1,231 original miles. It was hit in the rear in 1962 and never used again. The previous owner removed the damaged rear quarter, wheel well, back floor pan and tail gate and purchased OEM body parts, but never reassembled it. The Jeep has been stored inside since 1962. I have what appears to be the entire vehicle awaiting reassembly. The transmission and transfer case were opened by the original owner and are missing some parts along with having rust inside.
Although it has been hit and needs to be reassembled, it has no heavy rust or rust-through, only surface rust. The engine and axels are in tact and the chassis rolls.
You can view additional pictures via the following link. http://s888.photobucket.com/albums/ac82/Scott273/1961%20CJ5/ I am asking $1,000. You can e-mail me or call me between 7:00am and 9:00pm, 718-344-7152.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Here’s a parts jeep.
“CJ2A 1947 willys I have had this for a long time. look at the pics. no title no motor, rolls and has trans and steering. thanks. MAKE AN OFFER!!!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
I wonder if this comes with any Fire Department extras. I don’t see any on there right now.
“This is a M38A1 ex military , ex fire department jeep. easy to restore or drive and use like it is!!!”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/17/2008) Here’s an abandoned sand jeep project. Might be some usable parts for someone. This is the same seller as the CJ-3A below.
“Sand Jeep Project. 1948 Willy’s Jeep. Dana 60 5 lug rear, postal jeep front, roll cage, seat mounts, set up for 500 Cadillac and TH400. Engines available. Have clear Washington title. $300. Call Dave @ 503-572-9725”
UPDATE: I deleted the 2nd truck I had listed, as Bill correctly pointed out that it wasn’t a WC51 at all.
I’m helping someone value this WC52 WWII Dodge Truck. I’m pretty sure the WC52 runs (only just over 10,000 were made).
Here is a pic. If anyone can provide some feedback to me, just email me privately (d@ewillys.com).
WC-52:
Randy forwarded me an announcement that Bill Mauldin has been honored with a stamp, shown below.
According to the email Randy sent me, “Mauldin, and his work, meant much to the millions of Americans who fought in World War II, and to those who had waited for them to come home. He was a kid cartoonist for Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper; Mauldin’s drawings of his muddy, exhausted, whisker-stubbled infantrymen Willie and Joe were the voice of truth about what it was like on the front lines.”
Here is a pic of the stamp, followed by Mauldin in a jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750. It includes a top. Looks like a great price. Brett noted that the seller updated the listing because the overdrive was incorrectly listed as a PTO.
(11/14/09) “1946 Willy CJ-2A Jeep, Strong 289 V8, 3-Speed transmission with Overdrive, extra Transmission & Transfer case, Rancho Shocks, 32” x 11.5 x 15 w/ Chrome Rims, Full soft top with doors, Bimi top, Front bumber tow mount, Back seat, rear rack with two 5 gal. gas cans. Lots of extra parts and accessories. $2750.”
This might be a good restoration candidate.
“1946 Willys Jeep Complete, needs to be restored! Asking $1,300.00 or Best Offer!!!! If you have any questions or want to see please call 559-307-3349.”

Here’s a buyer for some CJ-5 fenderwell headers.
‘I am looking for some fenderwell headers for a small block chevy 283 that are made for an early CJ5 Willys Jeep. I am doing a conversion and need some soon. The exhaust needs to run outside the frame rail. I need some that fit CJ’s from 1953-1971, I’m not sure if the later years are the same or not. If you know whether the conversion headers from 1972-1986 Jeeps will fit the earlier models, please let me know. Let me know what you have via email.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
There’s some work needed here.
“1942 Jeep by Ford rare example of this ex-military 4 wheel drive vehicle. Needs total restoration, clear Texas title in hand, $850.”
This looks in good shape.
“Very original, runs good, fresh military style paint, new interior, new top. Good solid running jeep. Call Alex- (909) 292-7375”

The engine needs a head gasket replaced.
“Selling a nice project car to make way for another. It’s a rare 1951 Willys Jeepster that is reported to be one of the last off the assembly line. It has a 6 cylinder f-head 161 cubic inch engine in it that runs but needs work (head gasket). Also has an overdrive transmission for good fuel economy. Odometer shows 80K miles. Has radio and heater … The Jeepster is in overall good condition. I bought it a few years ago from a fellow in West Virginia with the intent to restore to original. Another car’s caught my eye so this has to go … The front floors have been patched, the rears are good as-is. The body has minor rust but is very workable. The frame and suspension are in great shape with just the average surface scale. All lights work.”
