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 .
Looks like a good price.

(08/25/2010) Here’s a non-restored, beautiful Wagon.
“This is an UNRESTORED, original Willys Wagon. It has been maintained but not restored. The mileage is actual, and it drives as good as it looks. It is not a mint vehicle. The paint has been refreshed at some time, but the old paint was not removed. I suspect it was getting faded. There is very minor surface rust, but I could find no spots that have bubbled through. The vehicle was either factory or dealer undercoated, and this coupled with dry climate and inside storage has preserved it. I had started some detailing under the hood, but there is plenty of work to be finished.
This wagon was originally purchased from Bob Jones Motors in Denver. It was taken to Montana where inside storage and infrequent use preserved it. The interior is unbelievable. the seats are still near perfect, and the grass cloth headliner is uncut and in perfect condition. The wind welt has begun to deteriorate, and I ordered new to replace it. I couldn’t bring myself to do it, as the original red fleck pattern is no longer available, and it is factory original. This has to be one of the best preserved original Willys wagons of this vintage. It comes with an original owners manual, and it’s original jack.
The wheel covers are from a later model. They came with the vehicle, they look good, so I left them on. As far as I know the only non functioning system is the wipers. At some time they were converted to electric, and the currently don’t work. All of the necessary parts to reconvert to vacuum come with the vehicle, along with a number of sare parts that I have gathered over time.”
Another good looking wagon courtesy of HOG.
“You are bidding on a 1950 Willys Overland Jeep station wagon. I recently purchased this vehicle and have done some detailing consisting mainly of touch up of chips in the paint and restoration of the steering wheel. This Jeep is very attractive and draws lots of attention. It is an older restoration that has held up very well. The body is very solid, and the upholstery and headliner are beautifully redone. The paint color is the original Willys adobe beige and tends to look a little lighter in my pictures. I would not hesitate to take this car to area shows although it is not perfect.The exterior trim is good, but the bumpers should be rechromed. The optional wrap around rear bumper extensions are a desirable extra. The woodgrain panels are very nice, but they are not real wood since the Jeep was the first all steel American station wagon. The glass is all good, and rubber has been replaced. The undercarriage is very clean with only the normal light surface rust to be expected on a vehicle that is driven at all. The engine is the original Hurricane 4 cylinder and runs very well. However, a person who is used to driving modern cars will find it to be under powered and primitive handling. It is a Jeep and handles like one. It would not be easy to find a better and more original Jeep than this. As you can see, the wheels and tires are not original, but otherwise there are no significant modifications. The mileage shown is not correct and probably not a good indication of condition since extensive restoration was done. Feel free to ask questions, and you are welcome to inspect the vehicle. The buyer is responsible for transportation of the car, and I will help in any way I can. If you want to talk to me directly, I can be reached at (618) 684-3707 (days) or (618) 426-3449. The winning bidder should pay a $500 deposit within three days of the auction ending with balance upon pickup of the vehicle. Deposit can be through Paypal , or the buyer may make other arrangements by contacting me.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This looks like a nice build.
“Has 350 motor. 350 turbo tranny not four wheel drive,has corvet rear end. 4 inch lift kit. Just to many bills not enough cash. Too many projects this one is on the chopping block.”

(09/17/2010) I consider this a THEFT at this price.
“Selling a restored 1961 Jeep Willys. Was restored about 3-4 years ago. Body is in great shape. Runs and drives perfect. Has been used for parades and driving around town. Asking $3500.00 No Trades.”
This sure looks straight and solid. This appears perfect for a restoration if the underside is solid.
“Hard to find 1946 Willys Civilian Jeep with LOW miles – only 36,000 actual, original miles! Clean body. Needs windshield post for full restoration. Runs and drives. Good brakes, new battery. 4 cylinder, 3 speed. This is a rare vehicle and won’t last long. Would make a great restoration project!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** $7500
(09/07/2010) Looks solid, though it is missing a couple items on the dash.
“Jeep in very good condition. runs great. converted to 12 volt from 6 volt. have old parts. transmission rebuilt 3 yrs. ago leaks a little from seal.”

(08/22/2010) Rick is selling his CJ-2A. It looks like a solid runner with some good updates.
“231 V6 AMC (Similar to Buick V6); 4 Speed with External OD; New Soft Top; Extra Stock Wheels and Tires; Gas Tank Rack; Spare Tire; Winch; Full Roll Cage; 4 Core Alluminum Radiator; Converted to 12V.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2995.
(09/20/2010) This seller has mower and snow plow attachments. Note the rear PTO. The tub and fenders are fiberglass.
“Good condition. Original flathead 4 cylinder starts and runs good. 3 speed transmission with hi-lo and FWD shifts good. Frame is solid with no rust. Tub and fenders are fiberglass. Hood, grill and windshield are steel. Has hydraulic lift on front and rare pto in the back. Included are a manual angle snow plow, and 59″ wide finish mower that hooks up to the rear pto, a steel half-cab which I purchased but never used, a light duty roll bar, original wheels and other parts. The speedo cable has been broken for as long as I have owned it so I have no idea how many miles are on it. The oil pressure and water temp gauges work. For the past 7 years or so, I have used this cool, old jeep to mow my lawn, plow my 100′ driveway and occasionally ride into town (5 miles) but now I have lost interest and purchased conventional mower and snowblower to replace it. Some work on the wiring for the headlights and turn signals will need to be done to make it street legal again. I will take $3500 for everything for the first person who shows up with the money and I’ll also consider offers for the jeep without the attachments.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
(08/24/2010) This appears in good shape. I suspect it’s an older restoration.

(06/15/2010) This jeep has seen a few updates.
“1942 Willys off-road jeep. It was converted 3 yrs ago to a Chevy 4.3L V-6, Ford T-18 transmission with sought after 6.32-1 granny gear and Dana 18 transfer case. Axles are a 3/4 ton Dana 44 front with detroit locker and a Dana 60 rear. They have both been completely rebuilt and narrowed with Moser axles and bearings, Heavy duty Tom Woods drive shafts front and rear with a CV style u-joint on rear. This is one of few Willys Jeeps that have been converted to coil spring with front and rear triangulated suspension. It has a awesome, smoothe off road ride with incredible articulation with no bindage. It has dual exhaust, edelbrock carb, power steering, 33” Thornbirds, hydraulic clutch, and a large marine battery. Has a massive 200 amp alternator to run 1000 watts of lights and a Warn 9000 winch with a removable cradle to plug in front and rear. The entire drive line since new only has a couple thousand miles on it and has never been street legal or taken to the beach. This Jeep has only been used in the Winter on a 200 acre deer lease for the past few years and stored inside during the summer. I’m no longer paying the high prices for deer leases and decided to sell my Willy and buy a street legal CJ7. Im firm on the 7000 and if it doesn’t sell, I’ll just convert it to street legal.
