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 $1200.
It’s rough. It’s also later CJ-3B, as it has the large speedometer.
“My dad has a 1951 CJ3B. Its a work in progress. It has a ’79 Buick V6 motor. Military PTO winch on the front, shaft driven. There are 7 16” tractor tired on ford pickup wheels that goes with it. Its a good project that some one can finish. We didnt have the time or money to finish it.

This might be a good price.
“cool little jeep… 4×4 works very good, I was told it needs a head gasket and they are easy to replace? $1200 or best offer…”
Lots of mods done to this flattie.

UPDATE: Joe purchased this jeep. Congrats!
This looks good.
“1959 Willys Jeep. with 4 cylinder original engine, 4 wheel drive. Very nice condition, runs great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The seller provides a good description of the issues. The underside could use some cleaning.
“1965 CJ5 – rare Tuxedo Park edition with even rarer bench seat, rear side seat cushions, and three speed on the column (works great – and fun!). Tires in great shape. Body very very good, and unmolested. Interior good. Registered in CA with current tags good til Spring 2012. Everywhere you drive it, people give you the thumbs up. Great summer fun.
I purchased this vehicle on Ebay a few months ago. It was listed by the seller as having 29,000 ORIGINAL miles. That might or might not be accurate. Much of the Jeep (it’s very much in original condition) would lead one to believe that mileage – but it cannot be confirmed, and it is not out of the question that the odometer may have been replaced. The seller (who sold it to me) was either unaware of, or failed to disclose, some issues with the Jeep. It required $2,000+ in repairs after it arrived in CA. I’ve had all the work completed by an expert and certified Jeep mechanic and it runs well now. This Jeep needs an owner with time to love it. I love it, but just don’t have the time. Since I purchased it: Complete brake job front and rear – drums, rotors, wheel cylinders. Carb rebuild. New alternator and voltage regulator. Differential service. Transmission and 4-wheel checked. All fluids replaced. All hoses checked (good). All lights now work – signal, brakes, front and rear lights. Compression is excellent: 125, 130, 125, 130.
NEEDS: Wipers not working (all hoses are in place). Gas gauge half-works (enough to keep you out of trouble). Temp gauge doesn’t seem to work. Heater not working. There’s some rust underneath, as this Jeep is a 1965. The floorpans at the front seats look liked they’ve been replaced. The fender wells are amazingly free of rust. The Jeep is its original color, but there has been some touch-up work done) The dashboard is wonderfully unmolested. There’s only a few holes carefully drilled (between the odometer and the left side of the dash). They appear to have been for a mounting bracket. The body is VERY straight and the Jeep looks great for a 1965. Most Jeeps of this era have been so modified, it’s nearly impossible to find one this original. It drives very straight and true. I’ve had other CJ’s. This one tracks very well – better than most.
I am selling it as is. With my purchase price, transporting it to CA, CA registration and $2100.00+ in repairs, I have a lot into this Jeep, but I don’t have the time to love it. The minimum price set on this Jeep is way below what I have into it. It is a very good deal, now.”
UPDATE: Was $5500. **SOLD**
(07/16/2010) My only question is, why park it facing a tree for pics?

UPDATE: SOLD. Was listed at $2000. It sold quickly.
This looks in good shape.
“I have owned this jeep for over 20 years, and never drove it. I bought the jeep with a blown engine, and had the transmission and transfer case totally rebuilt, and I also rebuilt the engine starting with the block. I had the block magna-fluxed and found out that one cylender had to be sleeved, so we had it done. New crank, cam shaft, piston and rings, also had the valves done and the head checked and rebuilt. The flywheel was also turned. I put the short block together, and that is where I stopped.
The front part of the frame was sandblasted, but the whole frame was cleaned and painted. The The body was also worked on, any rust was cut out and new metal welded in. There is no body putty on the body, I have photos of the work we did to the body at each step. I have all of the parts painted including all the headlight parts, radiator and shroud. The windshield frame is painted black, and I have the rubber seal for the windshield. Some of the windshield hinge parts have not been painted, but all the parts were sandblasted, and coated with a primer that you can sand to remove any imperfections. The photos show the dust that is on the jeep and seats, but the body and paint are like new. We welded shut all the holes for the soft top snaps and such, I did not plan on installing a roof. This was going to be a sunny day vehicle!
I bought the seats from a parts dealer and had them re-upholstered. The light color you see on the seats is dust, not mold. The seats will clean up perfect.
I have all of the engine parts, and diagrams that I drew so I could remember how to re-install all the wiring. The carb has not been re-built.
I thought about parting this jeep out, but it would be a shame if it were never completed (I was so close!).”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $800. Eric notes that that winch is a hand crank rather than a PTO driven winch like I originally thought.
