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 .
Gerald sent me a link to Hans Tore Tangerud’s website. Living in Kristiansand, Norway, Hans is definitely a car lover, building a pretty sizeable site. He’s got a variety of old brochures and images, including a few Willys & Jeep Brochures.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $800
This might be a pretty good price.

I’d like to see some more pics. It appears in good shape, but the color is a bit blurred.
“1942 gpw military jeep in real good condition new tires new seats 4500.00”

This is a beautiful restoration / customization.
“In addition to all of that, this JEEPSTER runs like a champ. The seats are very comfortable. The Dodge Dakota V6 engine runs smoothly, burns no oil, and is free of undercarriage drips. Power steering and cruise control add to the enjoyment of driving. It is more than capable of highway speeds and climbs the Nevada mountain ranges with ease. All of the chrome trim is without blemish. There is no underside rust. There are no dents, dings, or gouges. The top and side curtains are in good condition. The tires are nearly new.
However, there are two things that need to be done if the buyer wants to put it into show condition. While the paint photographs well, it is not flawless. Close inspection reveals cracks in the finish. The Spoke wheels need to be re-chromed.
I can no longer afford to keep my Jeepster and an airplane at the same time. I love driving the Jeepster, but I put in hundreds of hours building the airplane, and it is the one I have decided to keep.”
I can hear Kevin already …. This sure looks like a solid wagon. I think someone will get a great deal with this.
“I have a 1956 willys station wagon, it needs a new motor or rebuild, I lost the title so no title but I can write a bill of sale, it would make a good project, I am asking 1000 but am also up for trades, I am looking for a running vehicle to get my family around, if you have any questions feel free to contact Paul 719-360-3054 eastridge_p@yahoo.com”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
There might be some value here. It’s got a PTO Winch. The body looks rough.
“Restoration potential. Body has usual rust spots but all could be restored. I was told the F134 has rebuild top. It runs but the gas tank was bad so it was started fro an external can. Standard 3-speed T90 shifts easily. Has PTO Ramsey winch. There is no top and the windshield goes onto another jeep, so thats not included. It has one seat as shown. The wheels are good and tires about a third left. There is an extra rolling frame that must go with the jeep. sorry but WILL NOT PART OUT & NO TRADES.”
UPDATE: This is/was listed as a CJ-3a, but is really a CJ-3B. Pics now listed also.
“I have a 1950 cj3a for sale or trade let me know what you have THE JEEP IS NOT RESTORED BUT DOES RUN AND DRIVE”

I am willing to deliver for $1 per loaded mile within a few hundred miles with payment up front.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay. I’ve added a few more pics.
(11/03/09) This looks good.
“You are bidding on a 1947 WILLYS CJ2A. Frame off rebuild 10 years ago, garaged & summer driven only since. Original except for front hubs, tires,. top and added roll bar.”
This was fun to watch.

Here are 3 images taken by Alfred Palmer in December of 1941. These three photographs were taken at the Toledo Willys Plant. There are other images that show the machines used to manufacture parts, but I didn’t really find them very interesting.

Sunglasses required to look at this truck! It’s a bright one. I can appreciate a seller telling it like it is. The seller did the painting and notes “I did the painting, there is no bondo under the paint. Sorry the paint is not great.”
“1955 Willys Jeep pickup, This is a pretty straight pickup. The paint is bright, but rough. Someone put a 351-C6 in this pickup, but did a lousy job. They butchered the firewall and front differential pinion shaft. It is in there and seems to run good. Please ask questions ahead of time, I will do my best to answer them, i will also try to get you any photos you want, feel free to ask.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller indicates this is a ’59, however a potential buyer (see Q/A at bottom of ebay page) felt that based on the speedometer design, this was more likely a ’56. I’d agree with the potential buyer, because this document indicates that the serial number of this jeep, 
56337 10425, makes this a 1956 DJ-3A, the 425th DJ-3A made.
“This is a 1959 Willys Jeep 2 wheel drive Gala Surrey or Dispatcher project. These are rare and valuable vehicles when they are restored, but this one isn’t. It needs A LOT of restoration, but what’s here is in fairly good shape. It would make a good starting point for a restoration. Fortunately, these are not too hard to work on. I bought this many years ago and have slowly been collecting a few parts, but I have too many projects and not enough time or money. This project has to go. This is a body & frame and axles and some parts. There is no motor or transmission. I have a correct type motor and correct column shift T 96 transmission with overdrive, but they are listed seperately on ebay and not included with this listing (see my other listings). The guy I got it from had started to convert it to a 6 cylinder motor and was going to make a sand buggy out of it. He removed the original motor mounts and put some other mounts in, but I don’t know what engine they are for. He didn’t do any significant damage to the frame, and the correct motor mounts should go right back on the frame”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
The body looks pretty clean.
“New water pump, head just machined, new fuel tank, new shocks.”
I would assume this has a Dana 44 in the rear and probably a Dana 27 in the front?
“1969 cj5 rebuilt buick 225, sm465 trans (4spd), dana 18 twin stick, dana 25 front 4.88,dana 27 4.88. dual 10 gal tanks. front bucket seat from jeep cherokee. fold n tumble rear seat new brake mstr cylinder, electric fuel pump. This has been a good rig for me great for hunting, wheelin, or just driving. No longer use so just need to sell. asking 3000.00 obo Please call me at 206-227-2302 Pat or Pete 509-533-0741.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(12/26/09) “1959 willys cj body style xtra parts has ford v8 installed. was used for hunnting and snow car. soft top ruff was listed for 2500.00 but wife says sell so price reduced to first 2000.00 takes!”
UPDATE: Still Available
(12/07/09) This is very much a project still. I love the Hayden area. I still have relatives up there and if I could make a good living up there, I’d move in a heartbeat.
“

The engine is in good condition and just needs rebuilt since it has sat for along time. Th engine is #’s matching down to the generator and voltage regulator.”

It may run, but it’s not “ALL” original.

John spent this past fall and winter doing some cosmetic restoration to this great looking GPW. John says he’s keeping this GPW for a while, so please don’t send him any sales inquiries. Thanks for sharing!
