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 .

(04/26/2010) It’s not running.
“This Jeep needs some work done to it i have some of the parts to get it going. It needs plugs and wires which i have and a distributor which i do not have. And the carburator needs to be rebuilt or replace i have a rebuild kit. It does need some body work or just a new hood. And the windows need to be replaced. Hate to sell it but i need the money. Any questions call Jared 707-953-0259”

(04/22/2010) Here’s a GPW with a plow that looks solid, though the paint is rough.
“Here I have a 1944 Ford Jeep – I had it running last summer, need to get it running again. I have used it for snowplowing my driveway thats it.”
The paint looks rough, but I don’t see much obvious rust. It runs as well.

(05/06/2010) This is an interesting build. I bet it was modded back in the late 60s or early 70s. How about that steering wheel or the tight corners on those roll bars.
“I have inherited my grandfathers old willys jeep and unfortunately don’t have the money to do the proper restoration on it that it deserves. It is a little more than a fixer upper but it is the entire vehicle, it was never stripped for parts. My step dad got it running a couple years ago and drove it around the yard, but it has gone back to sitting. If you have any interest in it please feel free to contact me and I’d be happy to give you any info I can and or send some more pictures. If you are local we can even meet up and I’ll show it to you in person. This is not a stock willys. My grandfather did a lot of work on it himself and in its day it was an amazing machine. Has a small block V8, fold down front window(good glass), 4×4, tow hitch, roll bar, dual exhaust, and 3 speed manual, and about 114,000 miles(i think, the old odometers only went to 99,999 and then just rolled over again). I would love to see it go to a good home and the price is negotiable, but will be carefully considered.”
Here’s a parts jeep.

“1946 Willys CJ2A project for sale. I bought this jeep in New Hampshire last fall from a guy who said this jeep was “Done Right”. Well, my inexperience paired with my enthusiasm for the jeep impaired my vision. When I started sanding the bondo bubbles, I found that the whole back end was gone. I hired a guy to cut it all out and replace everything with 16 gauge steel. Now that everything is metal and this jeep is solid I am looking to sell it to someone who has the skills to finish the project and live the dream. Needs some bondo skimming over the grinded welds and where the new steel meets the old. It needs a radiator bracket fabricated to hold the brand new custom aluminum radiator that I bought for it. It needs a bracket modification to fit the alternator back on since I put a shallow water pump in. then this jeep should be ready to cruise around town and off road. There are other things of course, but you get the idea. It ran and drove when I bought it last fall. It just needs to be put back together.
the good: Has YJ leafs springs in the front which give it a big lift
Has a running 327 sbc motor
Has a muncie 4 speed
Has 34″ super swampers in 80% condition
Its all solid steel
Now its “Done Right”
Frame is Solid
Custom Dual side exit exhaust
all new brake lines”

Lots of work done here. It needs a fuel pump at the very least.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1595.
(05/05/09) The body looks a little rough, but it runs. It looks like a good price.
“1950 CJ3A, about 62K original miles, factory drivetrain, 4 cylinder flat-head, newer solex carburetor, rebuilt transmission and transfer case, new brakes, new tires, hasn’t left town for 30 years. Runs excellent, needs top.”
This appears in pretty good shape.

There is plenty of value for the price if you are near this. This appears to have some old dualamatic hubs as well.
