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 $5295.
This looks pretty nice.
“Engine is 1967 Buick 225 ci V6, Seats reupholstered, new fuel tank, rebuilt suspension, like-new bikini top”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3999.
The mileage seems a bit low. Also, this VIN doesn’t seem correct.
“Mileage: 8,600 – Body Style: SUV – Exterior Color: Green – Interior Color: Black – VIN: 4J34149 – Engine: 4 Cylinders – Transmission: Manual – Drivetrain: 4WD – Doors: 2
Selling Points: Great truck to drive to the local ice house!Driven very little last 8 years. In last 4-5 years major portions of the vehicle rebuilt or replaced:-Electrical system reworked-Brake system rebuilt/replaced-Fuel pump, fuel tank, fuel lines replaced. (Now has electric fuel pump).No A/C, but the windsheild can be lowered on those hot Texas days. This has been a great vehicle, but I drive it very little and it should be in a home where it is used.
Condition: It runs better now than it has in years due to the major fuel system and brake system work that has been done. However, the paint is faded and peeling. The tires will need to be replaced soon.”
When I was a kid, jeep play/race days were held all over the Pacific Northwest. Whether at the sand dunes, in the forest, under some powerlines, in a boggy area of Everett or at an ORV park, it seemed the places a club could sponsor a playday were unlimited. For a variety of reasons, those days have passed and options for holding 4×4 events are limited.
This is why I was surprised to see a new area that allows some PNW racing (and motorcycle, trucks and atvs as well) called Cadillac Ranch MotorSports. From the website, “Cadillac Ranch Motorsports was started by three brothers who had some unused land that they decided to turn into a destination for excitement. Bring your ATV, motorbike, or truck to our track for a day of outdoor fun.” Check out some sprint racing pics here and some cross country pics here.
From the pics I saw on the website, a few friends and readers have already ventured down for some their outdoor fun, though I haven’t heard any feedback thus far. Even better, it’s only a stone’s throw from my sister’s place in McKenna, so I’ll have to swing by and check it out!
Here are some images from the Cadillac Ranch Motorsports website. This image shows the area in general, which looks great for spectating — you can see an entire run.
This is a pic from a sprint race:
And here are a couple pics from what I assume is a cross country course of some type. In the second pic you can see there is a pretty good line of racers ready to take their turn.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500
(05/14/2010) The pics are a little misleading as the engine (chev 283) is pulled and needs the heads rebuilt. This includes a car trailer.
“1945 Willys MB Jeep Project. Manufactured April fools day 1945. Has Chevy 283 SM V8 11″ brakes new clutch, carb, alt, HSD distributor. 283 is partially disassembled and needs rebuild 2 sets of heads T90 tranny 6.5 ” tires and wheels. New CJ5 304 V8 radiator.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700
(06/02/2010) This appears solid.
“This is a 49 willy’s jeep in good mechanical condition. The drivetrain has been recently gone through with all new bearings, brakes, drives nicely down the road. Comes with hard top complete with slider window doors, tow hitch, and trailer lights. Has all original running gear not modified or souped up.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100.
This looks like a pretty good price.
“1951 Jeep Willys, to many new parts to list. Would be great at deer camp or running around.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
This includes a rear PTO.
“1947 WILLIS JEEP CJ2A WITH HARDTOP AND PTO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7900.
(07/08/2010) This still needs some work according to the seller.
“JEEP NEEDS FOUR THINGS DONE TO COMPLETE, WIREING,REAR MAIN LEAK,TOP INSTALLED ,8 VOLT SYSTEM. SPENT 8000 SO FAR I HAVE GIVE UP ,TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY. hAS EXTRA PARTS AS PICTURED.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2750
(09/12/09) This could look good with some paint and different seats.
“Shown is a 1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep. It starts easily and is really fun to drive and it runs good. 4 wheel drive works well. PTO works. It has lock-in hubs, 12 volt push button starter and 15”wheels. Back bed has no rust as you can see in the photos. All original except for seats, 15” wheels, new 12volt starter, alternator and battery. It has been shedded for years. We have placed the maximum number of pictures on this listing but we have other fine photos that we will send you if you are interested. This is a very nice chance at an original 1947 Willys that is a good, solid, running jeep.”
