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: **SOLD** Was $1000.
“50 something, 4 x 4 – No engine/transmission. Pretty decent shape. No papers and, unfortunately, somebody stole the VIN plate. But, this is not that big a deal and the price is right. Will consider trades, what do you have? I need a Falcon or Comet, no papers necessary, for a drag car project.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks good, though it has a broken passenger-side axle.
“90% finished ground up restoration. Including: gear inspection, complete emroned frame axles and running gear, new tires, rebuilt engine and transmission with aproximately 1500 miles on them, tub pan replaced with diamond plate, all wood supports removed and replaced with steel chanel, rubberized undercarriage, all new guages, fuel and oil systems upgrade, oversized radiator, saginov steering, clean wiring, custom bench seat, brand new Bestop soft top, and many many oem replacements throughout. Sweetest running willys around, super billit build, must see to appreciate.
Whats left/wrong: Needs paint, has some rust on tail gate and windshield frame (planned on getting new ones) rest of body is rust free, and done right, guages need to be put in dash, mirrors, and wipers need to be installed
The issue: I was playing with it on the coast and broke the passenger side rear axle shaft recently, and have decided I dont have the time or ability to repair the axle. This is a super common break with lots of online info, and replacement axle shafts are 80 bucks. I have put over 10 grand into this jeep over the past 8 years, and Im letting it go for 2500! Must see to appreciate, and MUST sell.”
UPDATE: This Sold.
It appears complete, but tough to tell the rough situation.
“ran when parked last. needs starter and exhuast. split rims. $2500 OBO. call for questions ask for gary.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4995. Last listed in summer 2009.
(05/14/2009) This looks very nice. The inside looks well updated with new gauges and more.

Go down the road at 70 miles per hour with the overdrive or put it in 4 low and the 538 grears will take you anywhere you need to go. I have pictures available on another computer, send me a message and I can email them from there…”

Here’s a non-running CJ-3A.
“1952 Willys Jeep.”
It runs and drives, but looks like it could use some work.

“I have a 1968 Jeep CJ-5 that needs to be restored. All of the body parts have been removed. There are two bodies for this Jeep. The picture shows the 2nd body that is just resting on the frame. The original body has all of the parts on it. The engine is the original V-6. All of the drive train in there. The two front lock out hubs and door hinges was stolen off of it. I have most of the parts. I am selling this as a complete Jeep. I will not part this Jeep out. I can provide more pictures on request. I am moving and do not have a place to keep it.”
This appears in good shape. It might make a good reproduction project.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(04/15/2010) Some of this jeep still has some old school paint touches. The headlight bezels look a little narrower and stick out more than a standard bezel. I’d be interested in seeing some better shots of those.

(05/04/2010) This might not be a bad price. It needs at least a few parts.

Paul writes that the days are getting longer and the temperatures warmer, allowing him to check in on friends across Alaska. While looking over one collection recently, he spotted this unusually well done transformation. Those terra tires sure looking in good condition, too! Paul, be sure to thank your friend for sharing this with us!
Paul writes, “I’ll try to remember what he told me concerning the construction / modification of this Jeep but it appears a Ford pickup cab was grafted onto the Jeep body, the four cylinder engine was replaced with a V8, Scout axles replaced the original axles and I think he said the transmission was replaced with a T90 along with numerous other modifications but you can see for yourself when you check out the pictures. With the power of the V8 this little Jeep can quickly dig holes with the tires while in low range and gassing it just about makes the Jeep jump in high range…”

If I owned one of these FC snowblowers, I’d move to a snowier climate. That looks fun!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $75,000.
I thought this customized in some interesting ways, so I thought I’d include it. I’m not sure which part of this is a 1948.
