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 $4500
(12/16/09) This is mostly, not all original.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep all original call ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(03/27/2010) Check out the unusual updates on this. For example, note the welded tailgate at an angle.
“1949 Willys Jeep. $3,000 or best offer! 12 Volt System. 4 Cylinders. 4×4. The Jeep needs a little work. It ran two years ago, I did not try to start it.”
This truck was headed towards a crusher until Carl saved it. He’s not sure what he’s going to do with it, but he felt there was too much value to have it crushed. Note the custom wheel creation.
“Here are the pictures of the 55 Willys as I found it in a scrape metal collectors yard, it has its original running Super Hurricane engine 4 wheel drive components, head lights, park lights and dash all in tack, 20″ wheels were welded to the original 16’s and it spent the last few years hauling fire wood in rural Newfoundland. It had been abandoned and was set to go to the crusher when I found it and hauled it home. Not sure at this point what I will do with it, it’s safe for now.”
Leave it to Popular Science Magazine to publish a brief reference about using a Jeep to mix cement. This article (or retro-article) was issued in the Feb 1974 edition.
Dan spotted these (truth be told, Dan has spotted a number of deals tonight!) I believe these are 8″ wide hurricane rims; these have the same number of fins as my wheels.
“I have a set of four Modern aluminum wheels. They came with my Jeep CJ5 when I bought it last summer, and I wanted to go back to some stock steelies. They measure 15×8 with a 5×5.5 bolt pattern and 3.75″ backspacing. Comes with all 20 lugnuts and two center caps (have locking hubs on the front and PO didn’t have the other two anymore). They’re in good shape, maybe a little dusty, but no cracks/dings/dents, blah blah blah. All of them hold air perfectly, in fact I replaced all the valve cores about a week ago. I have 31×10.50s with stock springs (with 40 years of sag) and had no rubbing issues for what that’s worth.”

This sports a sizeable, custom bumper.
“1973 Jeep CJ-5, 258 cubic inch I-6 4-speed needs some tlc, this is an excellent running project $2000.00 208-771-1005”

This would be a fun jeep to check out.
“Every thing about this jeep is custom. Built 350 chevy motor, turbo 400 trans, detroit lockers, 456 gears, five 38″ boggers on and on. ONLY REPLY IF YOU ARE SERIOUS. I WILL NOT PART A THING OUT ON THIS JEEP, ALL OR NOTHING.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
Here’s a pair of wagons. Maybe they will equal a whole one.
“I have a 1949 and a 1958 Willys wagons for sale. They are both projects. The 58 ran when parked and needs battery cable, throttle spring and it should be good to go. The 58 has a Borg Warner Overdrive in it and a new exhaust system. I have too many projects and would like to see them gone.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This looks pretty good for only $1200. No indication as to why it needs a new tranny.
“1962 Willys Pickup 4X4. 305 chevy engine, Needs transmission.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This looks in good condition.
“1952 Jeep CJ3A – All orginal no modifications in excellent condition, no rust, 300 miles on rebuilt flat head 4 motor. Comes with hard top, soft top never installed. Slightly negotiable on price.”
