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: Accidentally had this year as the 30th year!
This year marks the 31st time the Spring Willys Reunion has been held. My hope is that next year I or we can figure out a way to attend with the tour jeep in tow.
I won a HiBid online auction yesterday that included this Mobile Drilling Inc., operation and parts booklet. I am hoping this proves an interesting document!
This was included in an odd assortment of jeep and non-jeep docs.
UPDATE: Geoffrey won this Al-Toy body auction on eBay and then got the lights working. He’s wondering if anyone has a parts to help make it into more of a complete model?? It appears he needs wheels and a windshield at the very least.
Previous pics from ebay:
This truck brochure from Canada caught my eye on eBay, because it labeled the truck as a 2WD DJ-226. I suspect the brochure is from about 1960.
UPDATE: This post now contains better photos of the brochure.
I purchased this Japanese Formula Desert Dog brochure. I thought it was interesting that both solid and outlined version of the tires were offered simultaneously. I’ll update the pics when I receive the brochure.
This is a beautifully updated wagon.

Andy shared this truck. No interior or engine pics provided. It appears the chassis has had quite a bit of restoration.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1118887306031920
“75% restored to original condition 6 volt system runs drives stops all lights work comes with the 3 steel repair panels that it needs I do not have the original seats needs king pins rebuilt and new clutch”
Unclear if $1500 buys all the parts or not. This includes a PTO with rear gearbox. Thanks to Andy for sharing it.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1853098215137637
“No title. 46′ CJ2A with PTO and misc parts as shown. The frame has a bent front rail but bumper and replacemens rail parts come with it. Comes with tub, tail gate that need work. Also includes grill and other parts shown. Message me with any question”
Bill shared this rather high price for a Nelly Belle pedal jeep.
https://www.classicautomall.com/vehicles/5120/1954-roy-rogers-nelly-belle-pedal-car
“A 1954 NellyBelle Jeep pedal car in unrestored but still in usable condition, well as long as you’re on the smaller of stature side. Perfect for a mancave or to bring along when you show off your real CJ2A. Now a bit of history thanks to Onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk ‘NellyBelle’ was among the most popular items of Roy Rogers memorabilia sold during the currency of the TV show, (and since), and jeep models were sold in various forms. A small diecast model was marketed by Stuart, and a 15″ plastic ‘Nellybelle’ was sold by Ideal, complete with a trailer, character figures and Trigger the horse. Marx made a large pressed-steel version, as well as a plastic model in its Roy Rogers Rodeo Ranch Set. The pressed-steel Marx model was the most accurate in colour to the original: with a plastic Pat Brady driving and Dale Evans in the passenger seat, it was 11.75″ long and 5″ wide, and included the cut-out below the windscreen on the passenger side through which Roy Rogers shot his gun. Saddle up pardner!”
TJ shared what looks to be a good foundation for a restore or rebuild. The price includes sales tax and title fee (if you are an ID resident). It’s being sold through a dealership.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/313826645081013
“I have a 1949 Willys Overland pickup. Clean title in my name. Perfect for building into a rock crawler. I’m building a Willys right now as a rock crawler and I don’t need two of them. No engine, no transmission. I have the bench seat for it, not shown in pictures. It has great patina. Located in Marsing, Idaho. Price includes sales tax and title fee, if you’re an Idaho resident. If not, you pay the sales tax in your state. Being sold through the dealership.”
This looks to be a CJ-2A with a replacement body. On one of the pics the CJ-2A transmission crossmember is visible.

“1947 Willy’s jeep. 4 cylinder Volvo motor, tow bar. Does not run as it needs a wiring harness. Updated frame”

“1948 Willys Jeepster. 4 cyl. Complete. After not running since the 60’s, had it running a couple years ago. New tires. New floorboards ready to be installed. Front need to be replaced. Rear are ok, but I planned on doing them all. $3500. Possible trade for ??? No projects and I have cash to put toward something worth more than the Jeepster. Clean title, non-op in my name.

This appears to be a mix of parts.

“51 Willys Jeep. All original except tires. 4 cylinder with three speed. 4 wheel drive. This Willy’s is rust free and very nice shape. All new build.

“Running and driving and stopping sale or trade ”
We stayed up extra late Friday night and were rewarded with clear, active skies! I took these photos with my iPhone (no filters, no adjustments later). However, the phone made these look much more colorful than they were to my eyes. Once I realized how cool the skies looked while using my phone, I walked around the property taking photos. We have a bunch of solar, motion detector lights, so they just added background light also.
But, before the night pics, I have one from Saturday. I was in the garden and looked over to see what I thought might be a dead cat … but, no, it was just sleeping.
Other notes … more progress was accomplished on the FC. The oil cooler fan bracket is all done, the cooler and fan attached, and the wiring ready for install. The gas pedal is nearly done, though I want to lighten the pivot portion of it.
One additional note. It seems the eye surgery I had last August has accelerated the cataract in that eye, which has resulted in some loss of vision. I’ve got new glasses arriving this coming week, so I hope that allows me to see good enough to race. Otherwise, I will have to get and recover from cataract surgery before racing … if not one thing, it’s another!
Okay, now the sky photos:
This is a beautiful, clean build.

“1949 Willys Jeep 350 SBC Chevy”
TJ shared this great Tux Park IV. It could use some new seats, but overall this appears in good shape. It even has an old club sticker on it.

“1966 Jeep CJ5 Tuxedo Park MK4 Factory Buick v6 Good tires”
Bill shared this vintage wagon. There is already a pending deal on it. There is a writeup on Barn Finds about it.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/328716846664658/
“Original, unmolested barn find. 45k original miles. In storage for decades. Purchased in Nevada City in 1953 and never left. Only two owners. A rare opportunity to own a time capsule 4×4 SUV. Not a Jeep. Something better.”
Needs engine, but if you already have an engine, this is worth a look. Seems very solid.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1472981330308422
“Needs motor replaced. Does not run currently! Motor threw a rod. Cannot be rebuilt”
Look solid. Has updates.
