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 .

(05/24/2010) Brett spotted this nicely restored CJ-6 with a unique looking paint job.
“Up for sale is a RARE 1959 CJ-6. This vehicle has been restored and has no rust. It is painted and marked in air force Blue. It has a 289 V8 motor. It runs and drives well. New gas tank.

This is a must see if you are looking for a CJ-6. $6500.00 or best offer.”

(12/26/09) This build looks interesting as it has some unique touches. The top is certainly unusual and is probably a relief on hot summer days. I’d like to get some more detail pics of this one.
“This jeep has given us much fun on off-roads and hunting trips. It hasn’t been driven on the highway since we have owned it. We trailer it to and from the mountains. We purchased it from the original owner, who bought it new in 1946 and has since passed on. We have made a lot of changes since we’ve owned it. These changes include diamond plate on part of the body, and we Rhino-lined the rest of the outside body, (has a small crack in Rhino-line on hood). Includes a wider wind shield than original. (see pictures) It has a removable vinyl top that converts easily into a bikini top. Zip-off side windows can be attached to the top. Removable vinyl covered half doors. Full front bench seat with saddle blanket seat cover and shoulder-strap seat belts. CB Radio with antennae, cassette/radio player and speakers. Tilt steering wheel. Oil, temp and volt gauges but no speedometer. Roll Cage. Gun rack above windshield inside holds 1 gun. Front and rear heaters. 12 Volt system with new battery. Front wiper on driver side.

A great looking jeep with nice mods.

• The motor is a Ford 302

• The transfer case I believe is a Dana T-18
• The front axle is a Dana 30 or 35, I’ll have to check
• The rear axle is a Dana 44

• It has 15”x8” black steel wheels with 32×11.50R15 Super Swamper TSL SX tires
• It has recently new Rancho leaf springs front and rear, unknown brand shocks (I’d say it has about a 3”-4” lift)
• The inside floor and roll cage were rhino lined
• It has older Mustang front seats
• Grant GT Steering wheel
• Has original speedometer gauge, the other gauges are aftermarket (tachometer, oil press, fuel level, battery level, and water temp)

• The engine has custom full-length headers leading into dual exhaust exiting out each side, Holley intake manifold, Edelbrock carburetor & air filter, off-line dual oil filters and an aluminum radiator
• It runs excellent but needs a few leaks fixed (where the off-line oil filters connect to the stock oil filter location on the block, at the bottom of the oil dipstick, oil pan, and the transmission (I don’t know exactly where it is leaking at the transmission))
• It needs a clutch adjustment”

Bill pointed out that this is actually a M-151A2 Encore. These were built using the M-151A2 running gear for a couple years in the late 90s. You can read more about them at the G503.com site. Here are good pics of another Encore. Here’s the discussion of the body at the G838.org site. I tried to find more info on the history of Encore, but didn’t have success, though it went out of business around 1999.
Greg pointed out this unusual M-151. It’s not clear to me if this was built from scratch or rebuilt, but it sure looks like a pretty new vehicle. In that sense, it’s a rather rare vehicle. If this WAS built from new parts, then $25,000 isn’t all that high of price to have someone built a vehicle from scratch. Including the cost of labor, building a jeep from scratch with new parts would likely land in the $25000 realm. The ad includes lots of pics.
“You are looking at a titled re-creation of a MUTT M151/ army jeep. In 1999 this Jeep was built in Clearwater, Florida for a jeep enthusiast that had a home in Utah as well. It was shipped to Utah in 2002 and used for local driving and recreational use. This vehicle has also won a few trophies in local car shows. In 2009 the Jeep was shipped back to his home in Palm Beach, Florida where it sat in storage. This vehicle is like new with only 400 actual miles. Everything is in working order and it runs like a 400 mile Jeep should. This vehicle cost over $25,000.00 to have built. There loss is your gain. I am only asking $11,900.00. I am open to all reasonable offers.”
UPDATE: Was $3600. **SOLD**
This looks good.
“1962 military style, 2 wheel drive, three on the tree, 4 cylinder flat head, rear seat, upholstery in great condition, garage kept past 18 years, 52000. miles, no rust…great shape! A fun ride !!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Here’s a DJ-3A in good condition. I’ve only seen 2 other ’65s.
“Amazing but no rust ever or anyplace. It’s been sitting for a few years and has bad gas in it and doesn’t want to stay running. Flathead inline 4 with floor shift three speed. Fun time at the parade or cruise.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700.
