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 $7300.
(01/08/10) Here’s another nice Wagon.
“Hard to find 1954 Jeep Hot Rod. 400 short block motor gives jeep great power. Jeep has only 43,824 miles, but the motor has only 17,824 miles. Two door, automatic transmission. In good condition finished interior. Cash only. WHAT A GREAT DEAL!!!!! $7,300.00 OBO.”
Have a good night. Updates Saturday.
While looking up this Crosley (which I’m not quite sure is a Crosley), I discovered the largest Mircocar Museum in the world. The bad news is that it appears closed until Fall 2011 for renovations. However, you can look through the virtual tour to see the types of cars owned by the museum.
According to NWJEEPN.com, an offroader made the mistake of going around a locked gate in order to explore some dirt roads in Clark County, WA. He was caught and punished. As part of his sentencing, he had to publicly apologize via the below YouTube Video. That seems a novel use of YouTube.

There might be some value here.
“1947 Willy’s Jeep for Sale. A great restoration project for the right person. Needs complete restore, but must see to appreciate. Call Julie at 714-496-7076”

I suspect the VIN on this is just under 30,000? I’m a little surprised that both the dataplates and the vin plates are missing. I also think those are the ford rims that don’t have the proper center size.
“This Jeep is truly a barn find. The body is in great condition and the chassis needs building. Theres only minimal rust but the engine is probably locked up. The transmission shifts and it does roll. I bought it to put the body on a chassis that I had rebuilt. This Jeep has the rare column shift that shifts fine. Floorboards are good, frame is good but it just needs alot of attention. I just dont have time to finish my project. Title in hand. Been in a barn all its life till I bought it. Its been in a warehouse since.”
No motor.
“52 jeep willy’s no motor has 3 speed trans set up for ford small block i also have seats and the tow stinger that are not shown in the pics”

There’s some value here.

I took them off thinking I may want some spare parts,.. 600 bucks and its all yours…Its been out of DMV system about 3 years , not registered since 2001”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2950.
This Texas hunter is part of an estate sale.
“1948 Willis Hunting Jeep. This jeep is for sale at an Estate Sale in Celina. Jeep is not currently running – needs some attention – but a great jeep for the hunter! $2950”
This has a few changes.
“1942 Willys Jeep with clear California Title. This cool little jeep fires right up and runs great. The Willys motor is strong and I have receipts for a new clutch and a rebuild on the original T90 transmission. Master cylinder and wheel cylinders were gone through with new bearings at that time (in 93). The previous owner used it on his ranch for the last 20 years. It was used by a local logging company for several years out in the woods so the pan had some rust issues which they fixed by welding steel plate over top of. The gas tank has been relocated. Speedo and Gauges all work except fuel.
A good project you can drive and enjoy while restoring it, or if you have a jeep already that needs great running gear here you go. Check the pictures and video closely as I am no expert and will not be able to answer any “originality questions”. Thanks and Good Luck. Buyer to pay all shipping costs. Will store here for 30 days.We will load onto your transport and can help with getting a shipper.”
