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 $1650.
I’m not sure if this runs or not. Looks rough, but looks very stock.
“
1948 WILLYS JEEP,VERY RARE, MUST SELL,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
“times really are tough. must sell my 1945 willys combat jeep. the jeep is a work in progress. right now it runs good, no smoke or engine noises. it drives and it stops. clutch slips some in high range gears. throwout bearing is a little noisy. all gears work, 4 wheel drive with lockout hubs works perfect. has all new brakes and brake lines including all steel and rubber lines. carb was rebuilt. still needs cosmetics. fuel tank gally under the seat needs replace. has no orig tank, uses plastic boat tank now. no windshield glass floors are not perfect they have some thin spots but mostly solid. this jeep with another 1500 in cosmetic work is very valuable. I would take 5000 firm. as little as 3000 with a trade. looking for old chevy muscle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6200
This looks to be a very clean, nicely built CJ-3B to run well on the road or the trail.
“54′ willys rebuilt 305 chevy, Muncie 4 speed , warn overdrive, warn winch, Detroit locker. It is a nice rig… Have a brand new full enclosure and doors that have never been put on… Heater, power steering…Brand new tie rod ends and alignment… Rear rack and Jerry cans.. Ready to wheel or daily driver… May trade for?? Thanks for looking…”
One thing I did not get with my $20 seats were seat covers (here’s another link on how they mount). Kim offered to sew these together for me and, since she’s right here, I could keep my eye on them as they were being made. These were sewed from the heaviest, nicest seat vinyl I could find from Beverly Fabrics. Best of all, it was 50% off.
The Prototype, which is on the passenger seat, could use a little adjustment still, but the second one turned out great. Both just need some rider time to get stretched and pressed against the seat so they will form more closely to the seats.
I’ve been attacking a variety of little projects to get the jeep complete. One of those is the transfercase cover. Mike and I had done a little trade out of which I received a stock CJ-2A rubber boot, but after testing it out, I decided it wouldn’t work. So, I ordered a beefier and larger Dana 300 boot that did the trick.
In order to mount it, I had to build a metal cover to secure the rubber boot. I turned to my old dissected hood for some metal. I then cut a hole the side of the boot, drilled some holes along the side, and mounted it to my fiberglass.
Below is the Dana 300 boot and the metal piece I made:
Below is the hold I needed to fill:
And here it is filled. Nothing fancy:
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1000. It runs. Looks like a great price to me.
(07/13/09) I wonder how bad the inside rust really is.
“Up for sale is one of the rarest jeeps ever produced. It is a millitary M170 field ambulance. It has been converted to 12 volts. It does have rust in the bed and passenger floor. It would make a great restoration project or hunting vehicle. It runs and drives. The 4wd also works. The frame and drive train are in good condition. The driverside windsheild also has a crack in it. I do not have a title will be sold with a bill of sale.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
If you are looking for a great, unique Drag race motor (was turning 5s when it was in drag jeep in the early 90s), this might be it.
Steve says this used to be in a drag jeep with a fiberglass parkette CJ-3B body (I’ve only seen one of these – learn more about it here). He told me the name of the jeep, but my short term memory loss seems to have kicked in ….

UPDATE: Was $13000. **Status Unknown**
(07/07/09) Lots of updates to this CJ-3B.
“all new tub,arb,eng,it all new to much to list trade chevelle,”
A reader of IMCDb suggested this was a vehicle called a ‘Willys Jeep Hi Railer’. This was a snapshot from the movie “It happened to Jane”
However, based on the Hy Railers at Dave’s Willys Country website, I’m less sure this is a Willys vehicle. Am I wrong?
It appears fairly original.
“1958 Willys CJ-3B jeep for sale. Only three owners — a Virginia farmer, a teenage boy who restored it, and my dad, who bought it in 1992 to haul firewood on weekends in West Virginia. It has been sitting in my garage in Chevy Chase for the last 8 years or so. It is totally solid and runs great. Very low mileage/time since engine was rebuilt. All original except seats and tailgate and roll bar. More photos available.”
