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 $9800.
This looks solid, but I think the paint needs a closer look. It appears uneven just under the driver’s side mirror.
“This Jeep was part of a motor pool at an air museum for 20 years as a flight line/follow me Jeep. Go Devil motor runs great. No rust. ALL gauges and lights work as they should. Running on 12 volt, converted from 24 volt.
Great driver (a real head turner) as is, or an easy full restore.
$9,800. No trades. Will store until snow melts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
If this runs, it might be worth a look. there appears to be only surface rust.
“Its only missing the back set. Has the over head valve 4 cellener in it 6 volt. system. The body is veary nice. come see it. ”
The looks like a good candidate for a restoration.

Sierra County, NM, once claimed to have more jeeps per capita then any other county. I don’t know if that fact is true, but it was claimed to be the case in a 1950s article. Ever wonder how Truth or Consequences, NM, got its name? Read about it here.

For the price it is worth a look. That’s a lot of slats on the hood.

This has no title, but it looks pretty good.
“1960 Willy’s Jeep for sale, it is a CJ-5 with an inline 4 Cylinder and three speed on the floor. 4-Wheel Drive works great, hub locks work. I’ve done a lot of work on the jeep but don’t have a place to drive it anymore. It needs to be out in the country. No Title, so it will make a great hunting / ranch vehicle. It’s worth more than i’m asking but have it discounted for the title situation. $2,500 pretty firm.
The jeep runs great, in the past three years i have replaced:
The battery, The fuel pump, The clutch, The brakes, The carburetor, The windshield, The wipers, Spark plugs
The only issues i run into:
You cant down shit to 1st gear. (timing issue in the gear box that only effects a down shift)”
UPDATE: Still Available. Was priced at $2500
(02/28/2013) This hasn’t run in two years. The interior floors appear to have some patches.

Vincent spotted this stock CJ-5. It has good restoration potential.
“For sale 1963 cj 5 2 owner jeep. This Jeep has a factory hardtop with the full size doors, so the windows are much bigger and also roll all the way up and down. The body is very straight, only two small rust spots on the tailgate. Just put new fuel tank and sending unit. Also put new fuel pump tuneup and carburetor rebuild. Runs and drives very well. Very rare find!! 4 cylinder 3speed transmission.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. Status Unknown
The tub isn’t original, but the restoration work looks great.
“This Jeep has recently been completed after a long restoration. The aftermarket replacement body is approx. 25 years old-brand unknown, but fits well, The fenders, hood, windshield frame, and tailgate are OE pieces. The excellent original frame was blasted and painted, the body is painted top and bottom. The entire driveline has been rebuilt professionally (engine, trans, transfer case, axles, and overdrive unit). This Jeep runs and drives as new. The steering is straight and true, the geartrain is quiet, and there are no squeeks or rattles. The only mileage put on it was for setup and testing. It has a reman warn overdrive unit with an un-used PTO attached. I encourage bidders to come see this Willys before bidding, it is an excellent original-type unmodified Jeep.
Here is a list of new and remanufactured parts that have built the Jeep.
New: Belts and hoses, voltage regulator, steering linkage, gauges, tailgate chains, all new braking system, axles and bearings, all 5 Denman 6.00-16 tires with tubes, seat foam and upholstery, Walck’s wiring harness, fuel pump, tail light and reflector, rearview mirror, wiper motor and arm, air filter assembly, brake and fuel lines, and clutch.
Remanufactured: Engine, transmission, transfer case, Warn overdrive, PTO unit, generator, starter, carburetor, and steering gearbox”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.

lots of other s**t I can’t remember

I assembled it with mostly stainless hardware. It’s a pretty cool old jeep, It is slow like you would expect from 1940’s technology but it is a fun ride. I want to trade it for a decent Harley big twin bike.I value it at $10,000 I would trade for a really good shovelhead or evo bike. A bobber or chopper style bike would flip my switch. might consider other cool (a rusty pickup or ford taurus etc is not cool) trades if it makes sense. whatcha got?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
The front bumper has been updated, but the rest of this looks solid.
“Rebuilt motor, new clutch system, new cab, lay down windshield, new gas tank,new upholstery. Runs good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The seller indicates this is an experimental Mighty Mite? I don’t know enough about them.
“This auction is for a very rare M422E1, the general consensus is that only 10 were lengthened by 6” and became the basis for the M422A1. This was referenced by the August 1960 issue of Leatherneck. The article stated that “10 Mighty Mites are being prepared at the Detroit factory for specialized work. “They will have a six-inch longer wheelbase,” Capt. McPherson said, and will be able to handle specific communication gear.” This M422E1 was equipped with a MRC-83 radio (Serial number X1) as indicated by data plate. Also has very rare and fully functioning early tail-gate with built in seats. Jeep starts and runs well, see video on youtube by going to:

John spotted this truck.
“54 willys pickup truck solid western vehicle $4000.00 or trade?chev or gmc truck,elcamino ,ranchero,old cadillac or jeeps or something interesting with wheels”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6000.
(01/31/2013) Numbers matching according to the seller, but still plenty of work left.
“1942 Ford GPW war jeep. This is a matching numbers vehicle and therefore considered the best choice for an accurate, period restoration. Matching number Ford GPWs are almost impossible to find, due to the fact that the motor pools would change-out engines as needed and not rebuild and replace the same one.
Also, this is an excellent restoration choice due to the condition. The jeep has not been modified at all, with the exception of the addition of a roll bar, and retains all of the correct parts. Jeeps of this era have usually been modified to an extreme. After the war, bought surplus, they were used on ranches and farms, for hunting and survey work–and in recent decades, extreme off road use. Each brought its own modification.
This rare bird has a body–the tub– in rare un rotted/smashed/chopped up condition. This adds a great deal of value for the final restoration product.
It has not been run in a couple of decades, but was driven until it was parked. The engine turns over easily, without a wrench needed.
What matching numbers means: The frame # and the engine # match. There are no numbers on the bodies of this type, other than the data plate, which unfortunately is gone.
The tires are suitable for rolling around, but it will need a trailer for transport.
This GPW is the one all the serious restorers are looking for. As complete restorations go, it will be easier than most, due to the condition and completeness.
Asking 10K. The price may go down in several months, but for now that’s it, so don’t bother with offers unless you want to go on the waiting list.
Not interested in trades, I need the cash. The truck is near east Oakland, California, across the bay from San Francisco. Please reply via this ad. Can be shown during the week as well as weekends. Please be a nice person, i.e. don’t waste my time if you don’t have the cash.
See the pictures here on the link below for Photobucket.
Have a great day.
