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 $1700
(09/30/2011) This is a running jeep, though it runs on propane. It sounds like it might be a good deal, though it needs a few things.
“The Willys is a 1947 CJ2A. I picked it up near Fresno last year with no eng and trans. I found an orig T90 and Dana 18. in Wickenberg AZ. At this point I was going to restore it back to original I was unable to find a flat head 134.
I made the decision change the engine.
I changed it from a 78 truck 30k on the engine. Re-sealed the engine converted it to run on propane with Impaco 425 kit . I used Novak adapters for the trans and engine mounts a new Griffin aluminum radiator. The Willy’s starts and runs you can drive it. All it needs is a electric fan and an exhaust to be done.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $9000

Paul wrote to me a couple days ago to share his nearly completed project. I’ll bet it will be a kick to drive. He notes that eWillys “gets part of the blame for my madness.” Yeah, I’ve heard that a few times 🙂
“My project is a 1949 CJ-2A that i inherited. It has a custom tube chassis, 2wd, rack and pinion steering and 4 link rear suspension. The body is stretched and frt wheels moved forward. The 5.0 ford engine has an aluminum head and a roller cam. The tranny is a c-4 auto. The rear end is built with a narrowed 3.73 8.8 inch ford with traction lock. The fuel cell mounts under rear seat.

(06/24/2010) It looks like a nice enough jeep.
“I was a leader in the off road industry for decades. I use to own the leading off road company. when i was young I built this Jeep from the ground up in 1967. It has only about 8,000 miles on it (95 percent offroad). It has been featured in magazines like Four Wheeler (i can email articles). It has a Stainless Steel body which is probably worth the asking price alone. I had one, my brother has one and we sold one in 1968 to someone, I do not know of any others that were produced like this. It has a Buick V-6 engine (it is special, steel crank not cast) that was producing 225 horsepower for 225 cubic inches Naturally (no turbo, no NOS, no blower). It has a Borg Warner T-10 Transmission with Hurst shifter, Dana 30 open Knuckel front end with positraction (6 gear steel) 3.73 ratio, disc brakes, Dana 44 rear with positraction. And of course Rancho Suspension. The Jeep has only been driven a few miles (under 400 miles in last 25 years and that is on road) since 1985 when my dad died and I lost interest in going off road. It has a miss at 4000 RPM probably due to not being run much. It is not as slow as some Jeeps, it does over 65 MPH in 1st gear! (it has a 4speed). The fastest i have had it is about 120 MPH in 4th and it had more but it was scary at that speed. This is for an Enthusiast or collector, it is street legal but this was built for off-road.
I HAVE ADVERTISED FOR $13500 AND IT IS WORTH OVER $25,000. I HAVE NOW OFFERED AT UNDER $10,000 SOMEONE WILL GET ONE HELL OF A JEEP. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. 310 2921182 GENE my price is firm so please do not even respond if you can not afford the asking price”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,000.
It has 13,000 original miles.
“1957 Willys pickup. 13000 original miles, 6 cyl super hurricane. HY-LO- Jeep plow All original. There has been some touch up paint and there is some surface rust in bed short of that this truck is unmolested. After market brake lights were installed for State inspection requirements. There is also a Mlco Brake Lock installed as well (have no clue what this does). I am getting rid of this vehicle because it is to nice for what I need. This truck needs to be put in some one’s collection and not be exposed to anymore NH harsh winters”
