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 $1500.
This looks pretty solid to me. There must be a story here ….
“52 Willy Flat fender, clean body on frame, no running gear, 2 in roll cage, current non-op, clean title, $1500.00”
It is a project still.
“Good start on project jeep. New fuel tank, seats, bumpers, tow bar, floor pan and other body work started. Everything is there just needs a little more time.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
(12/29/2010) There might be some value here. It looks like it has a MB or GPW body along with a Bobcat fiberglass hood. It almost looks like an old racer.
“For sale is my very good running 1953 Jeep CJ3A. The jeep starts, runs, shifts and drives well. It has a early 1970’s Buick V-6 engine installed. Saginaw power steering box installed. 1953 was the last year of the CJ3A before they went to the high hood model. The 4 wheel drive works but the hubs are sticking and need to be taken off and cleaned. The Jeep has some rust here and there but nothing that can not be fixed. It has an aftermarket fiberglass hood that needs a couple hours of glass work for two very minor cracks. Has a hydraulic brake lock device installed for stopping on steep grades. Needs headlights installed. Very nice roll bar. Clean title in hand. Feel free to come take it for a test drive. FREE DELIVERY WITHIN 30 MILES (Except to the islands or Canada). PLEASE – SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. I do not have the spare time to waste on flakes and jokers. $750 OBO”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $11,495

(11/22/2010) I think this has a great old-school feel to it with some practical upgrades.
“Old school custom runs great drives great looks great. I’ve never seen another one like it. The best and most fun Jeep I’ve ever owned. Dauntless V6 with headers and welded mufflers. T90 transmission shifts smooth. Spicer 18 transfer with Warn overdrive. This jeep can go 80 mph or faster. Winch, dual gas tanks, full roll bar, power steering, and power brakes. 918-261-7816.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(11/16/2010) This might not be a bad price.
“1949 jeep willys good shape manual and twin sticks with the over drive option has 33in tires and a 283 v8 out of a 57 corvette needs battery and rear u-bolt replaced.”
UPDATE: Price bumped to $3150
(04/13/2009) This reminds me of the very first jeep my parents purchased for me when I graduated high school, except it’s in nicer condition (not that the condition of this looks all that nice). The color and the cage was similar.
“1953 willy’s with a 327v8.”

Jeremy discovered just the project he was hoping to find. Congrats! You can see he has already recruited an enthusiastic assistant!
Jeremy writes, I “Found this on eWillys.com – was listed as a 1942 GPW. Sent my wife down yesterday and got it today. Turns out to be a 1943, but the frame and engine match – I am really happy with this jeep. Lots of original parts and the owner James was super nice. James was insistant that he sell the jeep as a whole unit to someone who will restore it rather than part it out. I guess he just had to wait for the right buyer. Looking forward to a long restoration.”
