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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
**SOLD** Was $750.
“running out of room at my shop and it needs to go. has all original drivetrain. has the overhead 4cyl. needs a hood, seats, and windshield frame. has good p78 buckshots on it.”
This is a nice price on rims.
“Set of 4 chrome wheels that came from Jeep CJ. They are used but still very usable. As is $50.00 (253)380-6760 ask for Ken”
It looks like there’s been a few mods on this CJ-3A, so some type of posi or locker seems possible.
“1951 willy 4cj5jp reg-10/31/2009 has a v6 with 1000 miles, new wheel cyl and rebuilt master. needs tires and wheels but runs with the ones on it. lights are new but need to be wired. I think it has a posi rear because 1st and second leaves great dual tire marks. thanks Jeff sell_barter@yahoo.com”

UPDATE: Since I was heading to Seattle, I decided to stop by and check out this old racer (Also, it was a great excuse to head east out of La Grande, Oregon; Great drive!).
This is a total old school racing jeep. The builder took a stock jeep, threw on some desert dogs, upgraded the engine with a buick v6 (leaving the stock exhaust manifolds), threw in a roll cage, vented the carb into the cowl, and that’s about it. The builder’s son felt that there was a dana 44 in the rear that had posi, and maybe the front too, but he didn’t know for sure. Unfortunately, the weeds kept me from being able to get a jack under the jeep to test whether it had posi or not.
“46 willys,231 buick v6,full cage roll bar,ex race jeep,needing alot or a wealth of parts $400”
I spent some time this evening cleaning up some older posts that didn’t have working links. While doing this, I’ve discovered that I didn’t have any posts regarding my ‘rough draft’ of the roll cage. I put this together early this year using some PVC. Here are some images from different angles.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It runs, it plows, and it appears pretty darn stock. Can’t tell much about the condition from the one distant image.
“1948 Willys Jeep with 6 1/2 ft meyers snow plow. Have title and also comes with soft top and tow bar. Original 4 cyl engine with new tires and custom dual exhaust.”
It’s not worth $2500, as it doesn’t run. Might be worth a closer look if the price drops substantially.
“1949, dont know much about it bought at estate sale have orginal title dosent run, bodys in good shape. email or call 254-223-2737”
Siva has updated his blog with a recent trip to the Jawadhu Hills by a few members of the Jeep Thrills jeep club. One of the more interesting differences between jeeping in the U.S. and jeeping in India may be summed up by Siva, “Jawadhu hills has around 270 mountain villages, people in these villages needs to walk for 4kms to 20kms to reach the main road.” So, the terrain may be remote, yet you may still find yourself passing the occasional pedestrian or stopping for lunch at a local village after traveling over difficult terrain. Thanks for the update Siva!
I tried to locate the Jawadhu Hills, but instead found the Javadhu Hills near Vellore that lie between two rivers, Ponnaiyar and Palar. Is that the correct location? Vandavasi, where you had breakfast, is near there.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
“Runs good has new master cyl. new brakes, roll bar, tire mount, hitch, tow bar, has snow plow, original 4 cyl. 3,500 or obo”
