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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
I always laugh when I see the “it ran when parked” comment.
“This is a WIlly’s jeep that is a project. I just want the thing out of my garage. My husband bought it from my brother five years ago and promised to have it running within a year. Now I just want my garage back. $1200 OBO…price is not firm
When the jeep was parked it was running with the new motor, but it needed new wiring. The jeep does have the hood, tailgate, and door frames…”
The seller is in the rockies somewhere ….
“I have for sale a 1948 Willys Jeep that I have owned for some time. I no longer have time to restore it and am looking to sell it to a good home. The motor is newly rebuilt and has only a few miles on the rebuilt motor. I have an extra block, head and two crank shafts to go with it as well as lots of extra parts. I am asking $3500 but will entertain any reasonable offers. Call me with any questions, no trades please. More pictures available upon request…..Make me an offer I cant refuse. 719-221-2210”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
Looks good!

This looks nice. It’s got some nice upgrades.
“48 Willys CJ-2a in beautiful condition. Buick 3.7 V6 with 4-barrel carb, original twin stick T-case and 3-speed transmission, power steering, heater, full cage with nice paint. Nice new top and 31″ tires, bikini top as well. One of the nicer flattys you’ll see around and gets lots of compliments. Moving to Utah and can’t bring it with. Runs perfect.”
The pics aren’t the greatest, but it sounds like this is in excellent shape!
“1965 Willy’s Tuxedo Park 20Th Anniversary CJ 5 These jeeps are very rare!!! 225 cu V-6. Holly 400 cfm 4 barrel carb on an Edelbrock manifold. Headers, Overdrive, Full Cage Roll Bar, 11 inch Brakes, Duel gas tanks, Front locking hubs,Tilt and Power Steering and an after market heater. Here are some pictures. I`m going to put it up on a lift and get some pics of frame and running gear for those of you that want more. It`s never had a break or crack in the frame. I even have the original key that came with the jeep when purchased new. It had a single shift transfer case that my dad changed the shifter handles on. You know how those old school folks are. This jeep was set up right. It has a long stroke motor with small primaries in the carburetor for good low end torque and good gas mileage and secondaries for good performance. Its the only 225 I’ve ever seen with a 4 barrel. Not to say they’re not out there. It has 39.000 original miles. With a little cleaning and a nice paint job it would look like new. It has a little dent in the hood and at the bottom of the door. When I say little I mean very little.This jeep was my fathers and he took very good care of it. He passed away 2 years ago and its been sitting outside. It was in the garage for the first 42 years of its life. Its going to be hard to see it go. I would like to see it go to someone who would take care and enjoy it like my dad did. I will send you more pictures if you want. Thanks for looking and hope you like what you see. Steve.

UPDATE: Mike has informed me that this sold. I”ll leave this here so the comment thread stays intact.
Mike writes, “It has a new 12 volt motor with a core that was fixed at a shop. It is nice not rusted or beat up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This old military jeep is in excellent condition for a 63 year old vehicle – runs great, but needs some brake work before driving. Bought as a restoration project that never got finished, so the jeep also comes with a lot of parts and extras … (extras listed) ….”
UPDATE: Now listed on eBay for $3800
This has got a fiberglass body.
“4×4 fiberglass body with steel grill hood and windshield frame, flathead 4 cyinder, runs great!, will consider trade or part trade for a full sized p/up with 8 foot bed road worthy. some work needed O.K.”
UPDATE: There were two projects, but it appears now there is only one.
“Willys Jeep Project – CJ3A Tub on a CJ5 frame. Tub is straight, perfect floorboards. Brand new Hurricane 4cyl with T90 trans and T18 Transfer. Dana front and rear. Great Crawler project. For more information call (530) 743-7215 or reply by email. $1000 OBO……?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
I found this ad interesting because the seller says he got an appraisal of $12,500 from Southern Motors (a car seller?). It appears to be restored, however the pics make some of the parts of the body look a little rough (it could be the pics). The drive train and transmission sound stock to me.
“1948 WILLYS Jeep, 406 CI Motor, 4 BBL, 194 Camelback Early Corvette Heads, 3 Speed Trans, 538 Axle, Completely restored inside and out. Engine and Transmission rebuilt less than 500 miles on rebuild. Lots of power. New LTX Ms Michlin 31 X 10.5 R 15 tires.”
