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 .
Originally a Shriner’s Jeep, Bill decided since it was already had some drivetrain mods that he would take it further.
He writes, “It now sits on a altered Cherokee chassis with Dana 44 frt and rear with a 4″ lift. It is powered by a Turbo 400 and a 304 AMC. I’ve kept it original looking with a Jeep wheel and the track width is right on. This is one Jeep missed out on produceing. Drove it all last summer and just love it.”

Glenn spotted this fun toy.
“Here we offer you a wonderful and hard to find, vintage `late `70ties up to the early `80ties produced, French Tin Plated Jeep Model with Trailer. This set was produced by Joyax in France. Its a genuine model and NO replica. This is one of the last Tin Plated models which was produced. Today these models are difficult to find in such wonderful and crisp condition as the one we offer you here. The model is unused!. The Jeep is a Wind-Up model and comes with the key. The box is like new too. This set depicts a USA Fire Service Car with Trailer. An awesome asset within any Jeep collection or Fire Engine collection. Be keen on this beauty. The scale is about 1:28 Fully made of tin plated and bright lithographed material. A Very RARE find these days. Be keen on this less seen treasure.”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $4000.
This has a variety of updates.
“1945 willys jeep on a 1973 cj chassis with a chevy 4.3 v-6 with outside frame rail headers, it also has a DANA 44 rear end and new aluminum radiator. I currently has a 700r4 transmission and is two wheel drive. I used it primarily around town and to the beach, I have a t-18 with dana 20 transfer case to convert back to 4 wheel drive. It has been a fun to have around but time to move on to something different.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The SN plate seems to be missing the last number, with a line over where the last number should be. I would guess this is really a 98xxx serial number. The seller also notes that the “Jeep is in great condition”. Really? Interestingly, this has full floating rear hubs, too.

Looks pretty rough.
“I have a willys m38 body that I am selling. Not sure if it’s 51 or 52. Sorry there are no plates with this tub. The rest of the jeep is not for sale, only the tub. There are no fenders, hood or grill included. You do get the tail gate. I can deliver for an extra price inside the Houston area. Feel free to ask questions.”

This might be good for the price.
“1950 Willys CJ3A – running original flathead rebuilt engine. Body in great condition. Everything operational, roll-bar and bikini top. Garage kept, but wife wants the space for her car. Clean Title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
For $500 looks like a good parts jeep. It doesn’t run at the moment, but has a Kelly hardtop.
“For sale is a 1963 Jeep Willys CJ5 it has a steel hard top and full hard doors in good condition. Also it has 2 engines the orginal 4 cylinder and the buick v6 found in the later 1960’s willys, also it has the orginal transmission and transfer case, has a rear dana 44 and i also have an extra dana 44 with it and too many other parts to list.

There appears to be some value here.
