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: Price dropped to $1650.
(07/05/2010) This looks good, though it needs the gas tank replaced.
“Selling a 1947 Willys CJ2A. Runs good and the 4 wheel drive works great. All lights work, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals and dash light. Heater works great. Steering is sloppy, interior floor could use some work, seats torn up (not original). Fuel tank removed, using portable boat tank now. I do have two fuel tanks, but they need work. Inner windshield frame needs work or replacing. Have extra windshield frame, modified to single glass. Windshield wiper motors need replacing. Would make a great wheeler or great for restoration project. Have title. Asking $1650 OBO. Am looking for guns, Ford Bronco or Ford F150 short bed (only 4×4) in trade, either part or straight across. Don’t have what I am looking for, shoot me an email with pictures, most I can say is NO. Rigs must run. Let me know what you have. Call Phil at 503-359-4520.”

UPDATE: Mathew noted this is still for sale.
(06/22/2010) This looks pretty nice, though something unusual has been done to the hood. There are 2 bolts/rivets on both sides of the hood that seem to warp it slightly. There is also a motor issue.
“Real nice old jeep. was restored about 10 years ago. Body is in great shape… didn’t require any patchwork. Interior was PROFESSIONALLY Rhino Lined. Not the cheap imitation stuff. Completely new wiring harness, 12 volt. New Gauges. New seats, new upholstery, new rear seat. New Tires. All new switches. New brakes, New heater. No expense spared. Everything was gone through, and it has less than 5000 miles on it since completion. Needs some motor work / new motor depending on how handy you are. An exhaust seat let loose on the number 3 cylinder. Didn’t do any damage to the motor, but it needs a new one pressed in. I’m not handy enough, nor do I have the time to do the work. Top end is off the motor. Winch not included. Comes with a rollbar, new bikini top.”

UPDATE: Still Available — If anyone goes to see it, can you get me pics of the CJ-3B fiberglass body? Thanks!
(04/25/2010) According to the seller, the body is in bad condition. However, the seller claims to have a replacement fiberglass body. If it’s a CJ-3B fiberglass body, that would be a rare item to have.
“195? Willys CJ3B Jeep, now a project vehicle at this point… As seen in the pictures, the body is basically gone. The engine is a Dauntless 225ci V6 2-bbl with dual exhaust. There was nothing wrong with the engine when parked, but it hasn’t even been turned over in years. The transmission is a Muncie car 4 speed that has been addapted to the Buick engine. A Warn overdrive unit is attached to the back of the Dana 18 transfer case. The frame is in excellent shape, with a Rancho 4″ lift. The axles are a Dana 27 front, Dana 44 rear, 5:38 gears, both open. I do have a complete new fiberglass body for it, and an original (good shape) steel Willys grille. If you want the original four cylinder engine and T90 tranny, I have that too. I’ll be available the weekend of April 23 – 25 to show it, if you’re interested. Mike 330-998-3583.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
(03/22/2010) Nice, very nice. But, it does need the floor boards replaced due to the transmission install. It’s unclear just how much work is required.
“1954 Willys CJ 3B highhood with the following: Chevy 327, 4bbl, high torque starter, headers, new clutch, newly rebuilt SM465 4-spd with “granny low”, Advance Adaptors to a rebuilt Dana 18 transfer case with upgraded intermediate shaft, Warn overdrive, new drivelines fr/r, Dana 44 front and rear with Detroit lockers, 4-wheel disk brakes, tilt steering, full cage, bikini and full top, racing bucket seats and 5 point harness, custom front bumper with receiver mount for portable Warn winch. (winch not included), towbar, 33″ (?) Swampers on American Racing wheels, Warn locking hubs front, upgraded axel shafts (forget brand)……red….Hummm…. That’s all I can think of right now. It looks great and everything works. Only thing it needs is the floor boards replaced from transmission swap. Have the floor boards.”
UPDATE: Was $4000. **SOLD**
(08/21/2010) Last night I spotted this Truck for sale. The seller, Brian, doesn’t provide much detail, however he does provide a link to stories about his Truck. And let me tell you, they had me laughing (in that kind of Oh SHIT manner). For example, two stories involved failed brakes in precarious spots. Oh, and throw in a 15ft drop over a rock face and, well, you get the picture. Visit Brian’s Willys Blog.
“Back in the Spring of 1976 I bought my 1960 Willys Jeep pickup. It’s been at the center of many fine adventures, including driving it to Seattle from Bozeman in 1980. Recently, though, it’s pretty much been relegated to my garage and I think it’s time find someone who can care for the old guy the way he deserves. You really need to see this truck to to fully appreciate this virtually all original vehicle. If you’re interested in some of the adventures see my blog at http://geezergleanings.blogspot.com/ I’ll be around most of this weekend. If you want to check it out let me know.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8800
(08/13/2010) This looks great.
“NICE WILLYS JEEP NEED TO SELL ASAP PLEASE LOOK ALL ORRGINAL EVERY THING WORKS NEED TO SELL 310-930-2719 california car always lived in palm springs ”

This is on eBay.
“Here is a 1950ish CJ-3A Willy’s Jeep. This is a parts Jeep only. I do not have the title for it. I will write out a bill of sale for whoever buys it. What you see is what you get. It does have a good windshield, hood, grille, front fenders, seat frames, and some other small parts. The tub of the jeep is average for the jeep of this age. There is no motor, transmission, steering column. I do have a soft top for the jeep, but it looks like the jeep looks…rough. I bought the jeep like it is for a parts jeep, all it has done is sit in the shop collecting dust so its time to sell it.There are several good parts on this jeep and would make a good parts jeep for someone.”

I’ve spent most of the weekend coding and reorganizing content so that readers can use the menus to navigate ewillys differently. I’ll be launching this updated system sometime next weekend. One small is example of today’s efforts is that you’ll now find Trucks and Wagons have their own categories and areas.
Two new areas will include (1) a how-to area, which will integrate readers submissions and web content, to help builders/problem solvers with their vehicles and (2) an “identify” area which I’ll be building out to help people identify their jeeps (by grille type, body type, data plates, serial number, engine type, and more).
I’ll be back to regular updates tomorrow.
