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**
Looks solid for a project.

“Selling my toy to fund another project, great running little Jeep.
Engine is the Buick dauntless V6, freshly rebuilt Saginaw 4 speed transmission, and a Dana 18 transfer case.
All new wiring, new seats, new fuel tank (mounted in back), new starter, newer tires, new exhaust, newer top w/ doors, new gauges, new HEI distributor, rebuilt Edlebrock carb, countless other new parts.
Body is fiberglass and so are the fenders and grill. The windshield and hood are steel.
Currently it needs a new front output bearing on the transfer case, which I have ordered. It is noisy and causing some leak from the transfer case. Might have it replaced this week yet.
Engine compression is strong, brakes are great, all things function with the exception of the speedometer (I purchased a new drive gear to be installed), and the fuel gauge simply because I have must have it wired wrong.
It is not a show quality Jeep, but is very clean and reliable.
Titled as a 1962 Jeep. Clean and clear title on hand. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
“VERY RARE 1942 Ford Willy’s 4×4. This (Jeep style) military vehicle was only produced for about 3 months during the war efforts in 1942. You can see in one of the pictures (although it’s not very clear) the Ford stamp on the rear gate. This will have to be a full-off restoration project but with a new battery and a little help, it should run now. It still has the siren on the front right bumper where it was used as an MP vehicle during the war. No title, as they were not titled in those days. It will come with a bill of sale and will have to be bonded to get a tag. DON’T MISS OUT…. THIS VEHICLE IS RARE and according to all the internet sites I have looked at, for it’s year and condition, it is WAY WAY WAY under priced. I should be asking a lot more, but I have my eyes on another toy. Excellent shape for the year. VERY little rust (if any).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
Comes with two engines and other parts.
“1947 CJ2A Project
-Frame has been reinforced and plated.
-factory vins are both in place and frame and body vins match
-Body needs a couple patch panels due to rust
-Includes a complete spare rolling chassis
-Dana 30 and non flanged 44 included
-Rebuilt 231 even fire engine that has maybe 20k on it. It is complete from top to bottom with belts on, carb, dist, headers, flywheel etc. You could fire it on the ground with a battery and some gas.
-SM420 in great condition with Advanced adapters bell housing to bolt to the 231. The clutch, fork, pilot and throwout bearings all there.
-Dana 18 with Advanced adapter to mate to the sm420
-Original 4cyl engine with T90 trans
The 231 V6/sm420/dana 18 combo were all in very good shape and worked just fine before removal. The 231 and 420 were removed from a friends jeep that was swapped to a V8 with an auto.
The Dana 18 Came from my wifes willys wagon that is getting a V8 and one tons.
The parts alone are worth my asking price and I am firm at $1750”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Lots of work left on this project.

“I have bitten off more than I can chew. I picked this CJ up last fall with the full intention of fixing and restoring it. Times have changed and now that I have a newborn at home the Jeep isn’t high on my priorities anymore.
The guy I bought it from said that the Jeep was running when it was parked approx 15 years ago. I was told that the body was removed and the frame was fixed and coated to prevent deterioration. The original body (’69) is the red one. The body that is currently sitting on the frame is a ’70 or a ’71. I had the option of taking the original body or leaving it, I took it so that I would have the original VIN plate. I have the original doors, hood and grill.
Any questions, please ask. I MAY be willing to part it out for the right price.”
