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 .
I wonder if it runs?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
It’s rough, but runs.
” You are bidding on a 1966 Jeep Willys. It was originally bought as a project vehicle, but I just don’t have the time right now for something like this. I hate to sell it because it could be really cool if fixed up.
Id# 840528695
Original 52,000 mi
4 speed with granny gear 4×4
Starts right up summer and winter; this truck is a champ. This truck was a special order #D-3823 This is a all original. Willys are hard to find and a restore would make this truck one of the best for its rareness”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $800
A little work and this might make a good deal.

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $3000
(02/08/2012) The body looks in good condition. The seller doesn’t want to cut it up for a planned rock crawler project.

“Will take best offer, this jeep ran perfect, the last time it was parked there a long time ago. The jeep is in Monroe Connecticut. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT I ALSO HAVE SPARE FRONT AND REAR AXLES, PLUS A PLOW”
Here are four different custom hardtops built during WWII and used in Alaska:
1. From “Attu WWII Photos” comes this unusually designed hardtop. I don’t think I’ve featured this previously (at least, if I did, I couldn’t find it). (It turns out this and some other photos are at the CJ-3B ATTU Hardtop Page)
http://www.hlswilliwaw.com/aleutians/attu/html/attu-wwii-pg3.htm
2. From Flickr and www.throughtheireyes2.co.uk comes this odd hardtop. The author of the throughtheireyes website collects photo albums from soldiers and publishes the photos. He has some very good photos there.
3. Here’s one more hardtop from a 1944 expedition.
4. Jimmy Stephens and his jeep with hardtop in Adak, Alaska.
http://stanstark.blogspot.com/2011/08/war-in-alaska-pieces-of-puzzle-fit.html
Each of these posters is purchased separately from three separate eBay ads. This unique top is not something I remember seeing. Anyone know anything about it?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
You don’t see too many jeeps with Suicide doors.
“After about 12 years, way too much money and 1,000s of hours of sweat, I have completed a rebuild of this CJ2A.
Engine Components: new plugs, points & condenser, adjust timing, re-core radiator, rebuild starter, new flywheel, new coil, rebuild generator, new relay, completely rebuild the transmission (all new gears, synchronizers and bearings), all new wiring (front to back), new Solex replacement carburetor for the original Carter, new voltage regulator, plug wires, front lights, ignition switch, battery, horn.
Suspension: new springs and shocks. A steel plate for bed ( I put it under suspension because without the extra weight (250#), it beats you up), new A/T tires, new brakes and lines, Pitman arm, Tie rods.
Body (here is where it gets interesting): sanded and repainted original tub (there were 5 layers of paint to get off which included the original red that CJ2A’s came with).
I picked up a 1974 mailman’s carrier off of a ranch and fitted the top and windshield onto the CJ2A. This gave me an enclosed cab with a rear door and electric windshield wipers. Since the original doors slid on rails, I decided to hinge them and make them suicide doors. I had to custom build some latches. In response to some questions…YES, the top can be removed!
I added spot lights in the back so that I can have some light while closing gates. Put new padding and covers over seats. Painted the inside of the jeep. Remounted the spare tire carrier. I am sure I did some other things to it but I believe you get the gist of this project!”
UPDATE: Was $5500. **SOLD**
“31k original miles
Original F head 4 cylinder engine, with maybe 5 hours of use since rebuilt professionally. (Rebuit this year.) My mechanic went through the whole thing from front to back, top to bottom.
New hoses, fuel lines, gauges, battery, cables, professionally rebuilt carburetor and clutch kit.
I purchased this jeep from Southern Missouri intending to use it on my farm, but it takes up too much room in my garage and I just don’t use it like I thought I would. When I bought it, it hadn’t run in years, but the body and frame were unbelievably clean. It had been used on a large hunting ranch by a hunting club until it stopped running. They said it hasn’t been on a road for at least 30 years. Thus the clean condition underneath.
It was painted the camouflage many years ago, but the original Indian Ceramic (orange) is still pretty shiny where they didn’t paint or where the green has peeled off. Because it was used in the woods a lot, there are plenty of dings in the fenders, etc. It does have a decent homemade roll bar. (I read that there were no stock roll bars made for these.)
Another rarity is the steel hard top. I was told that it is worth $1200 alone, in any condition. It includes steel doors in decent condition and a lift gate. (Lift gate window is missing and latch doesn’t function properly, but looks easily fixable.) The top and doors are included with the sale.
It has the stock triple stick manual transmission: one is the 3 speed + reverse, next is 2 or 4WD, last is high – low range. And the low range is VERY low on this thing. I have been told that because of the low gearing, CJ-6’s are highly sought after as rock crawlers.
Well, I’m way over budget. So my loss can be your gain. I’ve spent almost $8000 on this since last year, primarily on mechanical refurbishing.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
Looks nice.
“1965 kaiser willys jeep tuxedo park mark IV – cj5a restored and runs good! Must see”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800. It seems to have a Worman hardtop.
(01/11/2012) Abe forwarded this. It does not run. It appears to include a plow.
“late ’50s Jeep CJ-3A currently not running, mostly complete, 6 volt system. It comes with an aftermarket Jee-Cap aluminum top and doors with opening windows. The body tub is rough, and someone has replaced the rear corners with welded steel panels. Ugly but functional. The frame seems solid and all the mechanicals are there. Great winter project. I will include several Jerry cans, extra radiator and voltage regulator, and the tire chains this jeep came with.
The Snowbear plow in my other ad would fit this nicely. Package price $1,400.
Cash is great, but I might also be willing to trade this Jeep for a 1993-2000 Honda TRX300 4×4 fourtrax (NOT AN EX!)depending on what it needs, even not running or totally complete. I would also consider a ’98 or newer Ski-Doo Grand Touring, depending on condition. Send me pictures with your reply.
I am also listing a 1979 Honda XL350, a Snowbear plow, a Honda Recon four wheeler, some Honda enduro plastics and a utility trailer in other listings. Please take a look, as I will do package deals for any or all of these items.”
UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**
It this runs it might be a good deal.
