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 .
As mentioned in the post above, I found Mike’s website related to the sale of his CJ-6 and trailer. He documented both the updates he made to his jeep and updates done to the trailer. He’s implemented a number of creative ideas to support the modern family’s use of a trailer. I highly recommend browsing the website for ideas.
As mentioned above, Mike created this site to follow the build of his CJ-6 as well as other CJ-6s. There’s plenty to read and links off to other sites as well. You can also view his trailer blog here.
Below you can see Mike’s fine build was showcased in JP Magazine
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
That’s one dirty windshield! The jeep looks rust free on the outside. This might be a good deal if the jeep will start.
“1962 Willys CJ5, been parked under a shed for 10 years. When parked was in running condition, motor and transmission are both original. Have title. A second 1962 Willys CJ5 is also incuded, it is in pieces and was being used for parts, all parts are still with jeep. Great for someone looking for a restoration project.”
It sounds like the seller might be desperate.
“MUST SEL by January first! Getting a divorce and need the money for a lawyer! Happy new year to me! Make me an offer! No “reasonable” offer refused! Will be posting pictures soon! Call 920-470-1198 or email.”

Here’s a buyer seeking rims.
“WANTED – Narrow stock wheels for an early cj2a, cj3a or military jeep. Must be 15 inch by 4.5 wide (skinny wheel) on a 5 hole, 5.5 bolt pattern. Will pay top dollar. Rob @505.203.6528.”

It doesn’t run. It appears to have some old school 10 x 15 slot rims.
“1955 Willys Wagon. 327 motor, auto trans, Has HEI. Wont’ start. Willing to trade for 2 wheel auto dolly.”
I believe this is a Dana 25. This would be a quick and easy way to upgrade to a limited slip in the front, assuming the gear ratio matches what you have.
“Willys Jeep front end with brakes, fits willys jeep cj-5 and M-38, m-38a, 1944-1953 upgraded limited slip upgrade, in very good shape, extra seals for knucles. Local pick up only or pre paid shipping”

Here’s some spare rims.
“Here are a set of wheels that came off a Willys Jeep but will fit others. They are a 15 inch wheel and about 10 inches wide. These look alot alike but are actually 2 different styles of centers. One is slotted and the other is solid – 2 of each. There is some surface rust on these but not pitted. Tires have minimal tread but may make good rollers or something. $100 for all 4 OBO 360-513-9824”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller provides a very nice overview of the jeep.
“This is an extremely rare 1942 Slat Grill Jeep. Depending on where you look, different sources indicate that between 25 and 300 of these Jeeps are known to exist today.
The number plate on this Jeep shows that it is number 113424 (the 1’s are punched as I’s-see photo). This is the numbering for the Jeep, and does not indicate that 113,424 of these were made. Rather, the first 25,000 Jeeps ever made were Slat Grills, and the vast majority have been destroyed. I have had this Jeep for several years, and it has a clear California title. There are no registration issues since it has been registered non-operational so that no back fees accumulated while I stored it.
From what I can know and can tell:
I bought the jeep with an F-head motor and replaced it with the correct L-Head motor, but the motor is an aftermarket Kaiser Motor rather than a Willys. The motor which is in it is a Kaiser Supersonic, and since its rebuild 12 years ago, has been run for only a few hours. Unfortunately, I no longer have the rebuild receipt but it was rebuilt professionally…..”
