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: **Status Unknown** Was $3500.
Top is in poor condition, but this appears worth a look.

“For sale by owner is a 1948 Willys CJ-2A in Harvest Tan with Sunset Red wheels. Meticulously restored three years ago back to as close to factory specs as possible. My fun with this beauty is over and it has been sitting covered in my warehouse for several years. Except for the occasional car show or parade I don’t get it out much. The original L-head 134 cubic inch engine has plenty of power. Original 3-speed Warner T-90 transmission was rebuilt and rock-solid Dana 18 transfer case is flawless. No internal engine work was performed as each cylinder had compression between 105-109 psi. Carter carburetor overhauled by a professional using an authentic kit and parts.
The engine has been swapped over to 12VDC but still uses a generator. Factory oil-bath air cleaner, engine oil filter/canister. Includes the optional factory Jeep grill/radiator brush guard. The driver’s side vacuum driven windshield wiper motor works as it should. New wiper arms, frames and blades. All lighting is as it was from the factory including the hard-to-find glass front marker lights. The radiator was removed, cleaned, tested and reinstalled. A complete new wiring harness was purchased from Walck’s 4WD and installed. The harness wiring is loomed to factory colors. The only non-factory item installed in engine bay is a Harbor Freight oooga horn I wanted. However, it is mounted using the original horn mounting bracket in the original horn mounting holes in the fender.
Looks good.

This appears to be a good price. These are hard to find in this price range.
“1981 jeep Cj 8 scrambler wearing mostly original cameo tan paint with original graphics. It has the 258 4.2l straight 6 cylinder and a 4 speed manual transmission. Shows 61440 on dash. But actual mileage is 161440. Jeep has like new tires. Runs great, carries good oil pressure and doesn’t smoke. This was the first year of the scrambler, very few are still around. Very solid jeep with very little rust. Jeep has been all over, wouldn’t hesitate to drive anywhere. Have clean and clear title in my name. It has a original jeep equipment whitco half soft top and soft doors.”

“1947 Willys truck with 350 chevy engine. Must see to appreciate.”
It runs.
“2nd owner. Odometer is 7,256 miles (yes, still works. Read on).
Purchased late 70’s, used at summer lake cabin on weekends. From cabin to lake shore and back to cabin (1 city block away). Down the hill, reverse, up the hill (hence low mileage on odometer).
Original Willys Super Hurricane inline 6 cylinder, 3 speed stick, Hi/Lo 4X4.
Engine starts easy, runs pretty good. Smokey, needs ring job.
Also needs: cosmetics (paint, some rust), brakes (none), passenger floor board and door, gas tank, original upholstery (except driver’s seat).
Still a solid rig. Great fixer upper (hate to see it go for parts).”

Looks like the driver’s side has been patched.
“The Jeep is in very good shape. It is in original condition with a few additions. It has Dualmatic Locking Hubs, a 12v system, leather seats, and a stereo that I haven’t been able to get it to work. Since the photos were taken, I’ve switched the tires and wheels from the wide rims to normal rims and tires, I’ve added seat belts, front and back, and I’ve added a back seat. I just had the entire brake system rebuilt. It runs good, starts great, and like all old jeeps, it jumps out of second gear if you let of the gas. It does leave a spot of oil in the driveway, but other than that it is in great shape. The $4,000 price is firm.”
