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 on eBay.
This looks solid

(10/21/2012) If this is a 1941, it should have a squared gas tank and be a slatgrille. I did a search for a “General Ralph Pangonis”, but could only find a General William Pangonis, who supervised logistical operations during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
“1941 U.S. Army Willys MB Jeep – $15,000 (OBO)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(11/05/2012) I think this should have chrome bumpers like the jeep above. Still, this looks in good shape.
“1967 Jeep CJ6 (20″ longer than a CJ5). This is the Tuxedo Park Mark IV model, which amounts to chrome on hindges, etc. This jeep has the Duantless (hurricane) GM V6 engine which was stock, the first engine Jeep went to after the F & L four cylinder flat head engines. This jeep comes with the original hard top & hard doors, which all have new glass (i bought it from a fellow who owned a glass shop). The previous owner did a frame up restoration (no drive train that i know of). I have done the following to the jeep: new wiring harness; front disc brakes; power steering; tilt steering; larger gas tank under the rear end; changed the manual 3 speed transmission to a 4 speed with a granny gear (the tranny needs some work as 2nd gear is tough going in); replaced oil bath air filter with a dry element air filter; rebuilt transfer case; new oil pressure, temp, tachometer, fuel & volt gauges; electric heater; kenwood stereo (not a modern blue tooth/USB type, it was a few years ago). This jeep has a PTO winch on the front, will pull itself up a tree! Bridgestone mud dueler tires, you won’t need tires for several years to come. Tow bar. It comes with two rear seats, the original & an after market folding rear seat from JC Whitney. CB radio. Sad to say i am selling this jeep to buy a newer one, the newer ones are easier to get in & out of, my knees are getting old! If you don’t like the price make me an offer to buy or trade for a newer jeep that has bigger door openings!”
UPDATE: Was $5500. **SOLD**
This has not been restored. However, it has been dented.

“I just finished restoring this jeep from the ground up as you can see from the pictures. Most every new part came from ” Kaiser Willys jeep” part house.I have all receipts. Everything either new or rebuilt. Frame has been sandblasted, primed and painted. The body was redone and the underside was undercoated with bedliner to protect it from the weather.All new brakes, excluding the master cyl. brake lines, wheel cyls, shoes and e energy brake too. The engine is from a 1953 Willys Truck, F- Head, 134. Runs great ,doesn’t use any oil. Holds good oil pressure. Has new Holly Carburator,fuel punp, water pump,clutch, preasureplate and throw out bearing. New radiator. The 3 speed trany and transfer have been professionally rebuilt and so has the front 4 wheel drive axle. New stock exhaust .New 12volt wiring. Has a rebuilt heater. New chrome wheels . rear tires are new, fronts are in good condition. The windshield is from a 1950 CJ3a for better viewing with new glass and rubber.The milage is not correct since the speedometer is a aftermarket one that I already had.I have driven it about 50 miles since I completed it. Everything seem to be working good. I have tried to fair and explane everything I can about the jeep.”

The starting bid on this is $18,000. It is about 90% done according to the seller. The parts looks in good condition, but note the 2nd picture, which suggests the wires are running over the frame and, possibly, under the hat channel. I’m thinking this is a problem.
“1948 willys jeep cj2a restored & rebuilt by father and son we have owned this for apox, 25 years and have been working on the restoration when spare time came up , its 90% finished still need minor work such as seat cushions and soft top as well as a few slight items to completed – e brake hook up – dash light and stock air filter and orig windshields i have some parts that will be included , it runs well and drives fine brakes also are all new theres way to much new parts to list the body is rust free as well as frame there is no bondo under paint , a very nice example of jeep history, has movie prop 30 cal browning mounted in back witch has blaze orange tip and can not be made to fire projectiles this jeep has countless hours of work invested in it, would make a great movie prop – show car or parade truck , see photos or ask for any info needed”

This looks nice, it’s cleaned and painted with some care. But . . . here’s my thing . . .I guess when someone describes a jeep as “museum quality” and “pristine condition” I have certain expectations (despite some of the poor museum jeeps we’ve documented herein). So, if his were my museum piece, the lettering would be different on the hood (not marked 52-m38A1), the engine parts would not be all painted like they are here, and the steering column wouldn’t be off color (unless that’s a color option I didn’t know about). It also appears this should have the hinged grille, but the hinges are missing.
” This Jeep is in pristine condition and has been restored to museum quality inside and out by the Armed Forces History Museum. It includes a non-functional removable 30 caliber machine gun.”

This looks real nice, though for the price I’d expect the engine compartment to be more polished.
“This car is a real ‘head turner’! People love to see it on the street. We get a lot of waves and thumbs-up. The car starts immediately, runs smoothly and drives easily.
Chassis is solid with no rust. Body is in excellent condition. (Minor rust at the bottom of the driver’s door and the bottom of the tailgate – see photos.)
Great color combination with simulated “Woody” scheme.
This Willys Station Wagon is original and complete. Includes the rare rear seat which is often lost or removed from these older cars.
Although very nice, this is not a “concours” car. (I did, however, show it at the Marin-Sonoma Concours in 2011.) It’s a fun driver with a lot of curb appeal.
(It wouldn’t take too much to refine the car to ‘show car’ condition.)

UPDATE: Still Available
(04/22/2012) This is a good looking jeep, tough the engine compartment and engine isn’t as nice as the rest of it.
“This 1948 Willys-Overland CJ2AJeep was restored in 2003 using only original equipment. All work was done by a professional mechanic. Parts alone for this restoration exceeded $5000. Everything works! It looks and runs great. Stays in the shop when not being driven & has a Bikini Top. NADA book value for one in “High Retail” condition is $20,500. This Willys comes very close to their definition for that value.
A list of work done including receipts is available.”

It isn’t Willys, but it is a cool fire jeep.
“This is a very unique, 100% functional Fire Truck.The title reads as a 1994 Jeep Grass Fire Truck.The logos from the former Fire Dept is off, therefore you can put your own on it.All the lights & sirens work great!This is a rust free jeep.The entire under body and all the inside floors is rubber coated to prevent rust.This truck runs & drives like new,very nice jeep wrangler!This Fire Truck was well maintained and always kept indoors.
Due to it coming from the fire Dept. the title reads as rebuilt salvage because they rebuilt the Jeep into a Fire Truck.This truck was built heaver to hold the 100 + gallon water tank.This truck is a great investment to your Fire Dept or to you as a collector item,whatever you would like to use it as!
