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 $7500
(12/03/2013) I see nothing to indicate it’s earlier than 1947, but it does look good.
“This is a 1948, not a 1945 as my add previously stated. I made a mistake when originally posting..
All original drive train. Has overdrive. Mechanically perfect, needs nothing.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
It’s setup for ice cream.
“The most awesome icecream truck available. Runs Great! Bright orange paint inside and out. Completely updated and re-wired lighting all LED. Flashing amber rooftop light. Exterior horn to blast your classic ice-cream tunes or get new age and rock some modern icecream tunes to get the kids hyped with the amplified sub in the back. That right! This truck has beats!!! I have beefed up the starting battery with a group31 semi truck battery. There is a secondary battery bank of 3 deep cycle marine batteries that power the DC converter which in turn powers the freezer. Back windows are tinted to reduce heat so the electronics can run efficiently. I replaced all the window seals with new rubber. I even installed a battery isolator so you can run the secondary battery bank until it’s completely dead and always have a fully charged ignition battery to start up with. I also have 256 color range LED undercarriage lighting that I will install this week. There simply is not any other icecream truck that come close to being as awesome as this one.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,900
What makes an Olive Drab paint “show quality”? Looks like a clean build, but not a restoration.
“This is a 1947 Willy’s CJ-3A Overland jeep, L-head engine, flat head 4 cylinder with T-90 transmission, 3 speed stick, high/low range transfer case, 4 wheel drive. Clean title.
This was a body off restoration completed in 2001, garage kept. The only system that was not an original replacement, is the electrical system, it has been upgraded from 6 to 12 volts. Generator replaced by AC delco alternator, system fuse box addition, two tail lights (instead of the original single on the drivers rear), directional kit with horn, turn key starter solenoid and grill fog lamps wired for directional, complete new wire harness. Body has no rust and has been undercoated with rubberized tar. Paint is olive drab and is show quality. Cooper military tires including spare. Jerry can and mount. Tailgate chains are dressed in military cloth and windshield had strap. New military seats. All gauges are functional, and even the emergency brake has been restored.
This vehicle is both fun to drive and show! My father and I enjoyed restoring it but since he has recently passed away I know longer enjoy it without him. Must sell!”
Looks good.
“1962 Willys Wagon in great condition. It has 226 hurricane motor with a 3 speed manual transmission. All lights and blinkers are fully functional. It runs very well and has added fog lights and reverse lights. ”

“1947 Willys Jeep. Still 6 Volt System. Runs Good. Mostly Original. 2 Parade Seats. Mileage Unknown”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
Looks road ready.
“Restored 1947 CJ2a and 1947 trailer (extra tail light was added for safety) . Jeep engine, transmission and driveline gone through and refurbished as needed.
All new: breaks, break lines, master cylinder, fuel lines, fuel sending unit, gas tank, wiring, steel wheels (except spare) directionals and all 5 tires. Trailer frame was wire brushed and painted with POR 15 and top coated, new wiring, lights, safety chains, steel wheels and new tires.
Not a trailer queen, but a nice clean, well running jeep. original wiper even works! Calls only please”
Looks good.
“This Jeep is a frame off restoration with over $5000 in new parts. Only a nice top is needed to complete the spectacle. At only $12,000 its the best you can ever get and its because I want to sell as fast as it can but otherwise its worth much more. I will leave the pictures to do the talking but further inquiries are welcome.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7900. Appears solid.
“1962 Willys “Maverick” Wagon. 110,000 miles. Four wheel drive . Original upholstery, Super Hurricane straight 6 (Believed to be original), front locking hubs and original front hubs. Starts easily and runs well. Has been driven regularly. Radio doesn’t work probably because there is NO radio. Small rip in the head liner which a professional can probably can fix easily. Recently has been running hot which means thermostat or radiator needs to be flushed.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/02/2014) Looks in good shape. I think this includes a CJ-5.
“1948 jeep restored about 10 years ago. One of the nicest around and made so a bigger guy can drive it. Turns on a dime. Too nice for the hills. But made to go hunting if that’s what you want. Nice comfortable high back seats make for comfortable ride. and has a S 10 tire rack on the back. Bikini top as well as a full soft top. Radio needs to be reinstalled. No biggy there. Drives smooth with 1200 dollars worth of wheels. And matching spare. $8500. It is one of the nicest CJ3A’s around. You won’t find one this nice for this price. And no diamond plate so no rust has been cover up. Heater fan does need to be reversed. Price is firm. Has sat for over a year. Has roll bar and is gun metal grey. I just don’t drive it or the 55 CJ5 with a snow plow so both need to go. Both have 4 cyl. engines.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/22/2016) Looks solid. Serial number of 61162 suggests it is late 1950 and not 1953.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9550.
Unique truck.
“Custom 1948 jeep truck for sale or trade.
Many new parts, I have all receipts. Text for details.
Strong Engine and Transmission, good tires. Fun truck.”
Looks solid, but I can’t quite tell how good the paint is.
“1950 Willys Wagon 4×4. Original drive train with the F 134 4 cylinder motor, T90 3 speed transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 25 front axle, and Dana 44 rear axle. Custom headliner and seats redone. Original wooden slats in floor. Runs and drives good but brakes have to be pumped once to have a good pedal. New tires, water pump, rebuilt distributor and carb. There were only 2450 produced with the 4wd in 1950 so it’s a pretty rare vehicle. Not a perfect show vehicle and has a little rust but always gets compliments everywhere I take it. Asking $13,500 or BO. Will consider trades for muscle car or 1967-72 short bed Chevy truck.”
