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 $2500.
It runs, but needs work.
“51′ Willies Jeep for sale- Has a Chevy 327, locking hubs on all 4 wheels, 33″ mud terrains, tow bar. Runs good, but needs works on breaks and plenty of TLC for the interior and exterior. Great project vehicle for father and son or just for fun.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
“1961 Jeep Willies, $1000 FIRM
Rough condition, needs restored or good for hunting truck
I bought 3 yrs ago as a project and it has sat.
Overheated and radiator has a leak now. Otherwise started easily and ran well.
Would not reccommend trying to start without a tune up. IE, purge old tarnished gas, new oil and filter changes. etc.
4×4 works perfectly. transmission, transfer case, differentials all work perfectly.
as far as I can tell all original equipment, eng, trans, transfer case and differentials.
These facts alone make it worth a grand in the condition it is currently in.
If you dont know this dont bother responding. No lowball offers.
$1000 is a fair and honest price and my bottom line.
I have not started it since it overheated. I am confident w some love, a thermostat and some attention itll run great.
Tires hold air and have low tread but are road worthy.
Of course it has rust. mostly surface. frame is solid. some rust to body mounts. should repair easily.”
UPDATE: Was $4300.
Given the windshield appears broken, the engine block is in the back, lack of bumper, etc, I’m thinking more like $1000 for this.
“1947 willies jeep , engine block in back,transmission still in place $4300 obo sold with bill of sale”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50.
I can’t tell if these are 15″ or 16″, but the price seems good.
“Set of 5 Wheels from a 1954 CJ3B for $50.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.

“This is a nice running 1950 4×4 willy’s wagon, All original seats, I believe it has the orginal 4 cyl motor. I bought it in Colorado so it has very little rust. there are 2 spots above the real fender. Call me for more information.”
The folks at the Bantam Jeep Festival have asked me to participate in this year’s history series. I will be presenting “The Joys & Hazards of Buying a Vintage Jeep”, appearing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with an official book(s) signing following each event. I don’t know the times just yet.
I shared this news with Paul and he responded with some words of wisdom for potential buyers of vintage jeeps. He wrote:
Please remember that sometimes a free Jeep is still too expensive. Normal people just don’t realize how much money, time and space a disassembled Jeep can suck up. Many clueless males have sadly discovered just how quickly Breaking Up Is Easy (not hard) To Do after becoming the owner of a project Jeep. Don’t even get me started on relationship problems after the Jeep is finished, just be ready for the “Why can’t my car be parked in the garage” vintage whine which is soon followed the always popular “I’m cold and rain soaked, why doesn’t this thing have a top” snivel. For a single guy taking a date out in a vintage Jeep will become an educational experience so long as no police are involved. Many women simply don’t understand that a Jeep really does have shock absorbers, it’s just that they are called passengers. Also a women with a sense of humor and adventure is mandatory to make it thru those events that seem like a good idea at the time and will provide many hours of crazy stories in the future for the grandkids but only if everyone survives.
I simply can’t argue with any of that!
On the BOOK 2 front, after writing all day I completed Draft 2 this evening. The book is approx 450 pages, when properly formatted. Ann is sitting next to me gleefully and busily bruising this draft with a red pen. She’s on page 22 already and hasn’t fallen asleep yet, so I take that as a good sign 
My goal is to have it published in time for the Bantam Festival.
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

I like this ad.
“This collectible magazine advertisement is original, not a reprint or photocopy. It measures apprx. 10 1/2″ wide by 13 1/2″ tall and is in good condition ready to mat and frame. Due to the nature of vintage paper, most advertisements will show some minor signs of aging and wear. All of our ads are packaged in plastic sleeves with a cardboard backing inside of a mylar mailer.”
