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 .
Needs a couple things.

4WD has a 350 Motor / 450 Horsepower
Has a full vintage removable top
Runs Great !!! “
UPDATE: Still Available. Likely a Maverick.
(05/01/2014) Bob spotted this. I didn’t know there were islands in Lake Erie that were part of Ohio.
“1961 Willys Jeep Station Wagon. 4 cyl 3spd 76k original miles, runs well, needs tires.”

“About this Jeep:
We took this 1949 Willy’s CJ-3A in on trade from a Marine. Normally, the early 50’s jeeps would be outfitted with a L4-134 CID (2.2L) 4-cyl engine that made 60 HP. This jeep went though a restoration about 10 years back, and decisions were made. The jeep would be brought back to original it’s glory with one exception – the 60 horsepower engine would be replaced with a high output V8 from a Ford Mustang – a 289 4-bbl v8 producing 271 hp! 4WD with newer tires and runs out great, paint could use some touch up in spots.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It runs, but needs a fuel line.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A. Got it last year as a project and got a good bit done but now need the cash more than the project. I also have two seat frames (not pictured) to go with it. It has the original motor, transmission, and brass radiator. I had the brass radiator repaired and pressure tested last year and it works fine. The motor turns freely when you try to start it but the carb needs to be cleaned before it will fire. It is a 3-speed manual transmisson with a 4×4. Currently sitting on 31” tires. There is no body tub, doors, tailgate, or roof. It was outfitted as a ranch/farm vehicle and ran a little over year ago. I currently don’t have the fuel line hooked up to a tank. This is one of the original Jeeps and will make a great project for some one to finish.
The East Coast Willys Association’s 3rd Annual Swap Meet on Saturday was a big hit. Several readers submitted photos (thanks!). Here are some:
Carter and Bailey having fun at the swap meet.
Charles just purchased this pump. He was wondering if anyone recognizes it? Was it a WWII era pump?
UPDATE: Was $3200. **SOLD**
“I am selling my 1963 Willy’s CJ-5 Jeep. It is a survivor. My grandfather bought it new and it was used around the farm in Michigan until he died. I inherited it and tried to paint it, but it didn’t turn out too well. I did rewire it as the mice ate the old wire insulation. It has 23,598 original miles with the stock F134 4-cylinder engine. I have added some warn hubs, rebuild the brakes and replace the bearings that were bad. I have replacement decals for the ones that are coming off. It has a clear title in Arizona and I still have it registered. It runs pretty good, though I would recommend a complete going through to get it running tip top. It has some rust on the underbody due to the “rust-belt” of the midwest USA. The rest of the body is in pretty good shape for being over 51 years old. It comes with a full kelly metal top and homemade snow plow with two original willy’s hydraulic pumps, and some extra NOS parts that I got off a AMC garage going out of business in the 1980’s. Tires okay, but not excellent.
