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 $600.
I’m not sure there is much value here.
“I have an old jeep. No title but I have looked into in and you can file for a lost title on this vehicle. It is a project vehicle I acquired about 5 years ago and never did anything with it. It has a chevy v-8 engine in it but it looks like it is in pretty bad shape. This vehicle could be made into a project or used for scrap or parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
This looks in good shape.
“M170 Rare model, clear title, totally rebuilt motor, 5 new tires,
Number 100 of 4000 made. Split windsheld, hood bows, manuals, spares”
This is kind of cool.

There is some value there.
“You are bidding on a 1963 Jeep CJ3B basket case.I bought the Jeep 2 years ago and lost interest in it.I cleaned the carb after i bought it and it ran fine.I would say I have at least 95% of parts.Its not perfect and is sold as is.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** WAs $3500.
This looks pretty nice for the price.
“Jeep 1949 Willys with canvas seats and top. Was restored in 1996 and has a 4 cylinder Buick in the place of the L head Jeep engine it was born with. When this was king speed limit was 45 on all Florida roads. It was made for 45 and below and is lots of fun there. Has towbar and can pull trailers easily. In low range you can idle through about anything. This is a dirt road, forest road loving vehicle and has WARN hubs. Everything works fine but needs the brakes adjusted by hand if you enjoy stopping.”
No pics provided.
“In storage past 10 years. Restorable. good transfer case. Has 1964 Buick V6”

Kudos to the seller for the detailed description.
“This Jeep is titled as a 1953, but is also noted on the title that it is “assembled by owner”. It was assembled in approximately 1964. This was a perfectly serviceable vehicle about 20 years or so ago, but was abandoned. It was garaged until about 2003, but has been sitting outside since then. A new fuel pump and a new water pump were installed a few years ago, but since the fuel pump didn’t work immediately, it was abandoned. The installer of the pump now admits that he probably got the lever on the wrong side of the cam, so I reinstalled the pump and it’s now correct. I haven’t started the engine, because the tank is bone dry, but it cranks and fires if you pour gas into the carburetor. The vehicle has a Buick V6 engine, which has less than 1000 miles on a short block. Since it’s been sitting, I have no idea of how the inside of the engine looks. The axles are not CJ2A, since it has 11-inch drum brakes, which don’t appear to be the Mercury conversion, so are probably from a later CJ, perhaps a 1969 CJ5. There are dual shock absorbers in the front, with coil-overs on one set. The windshield is a CJ3A. The steering is the Hudson conversion that was so popular, and includes a ball bearing bell-crank. The Jeep has a Bestop soft top that is in pretty good shape. It was not installed on the vehicle when it was sitting outside. The top still hasn’t been installed. It’s pretty much just sitting there, but it seems to fit fine, and includes the doors. The transmission and transfer case were new or nearly new in 1964. The transmission doesn’t shift into second and third, so I took the top off, and found some rust from moisture condensation. It would probably free up by being driven a short distance, and then the fluid could be changed. The transfer case shifts OK, but I haven’t looked inside. There are wide rims, but they are steel, which is pretty tame by today’s standards. The vehicle has two 10-gallon gas tanks, one under each seat, with plumbing to switch back and forth, and there is an electric fuel pump in series with the pump on the engine. There is a back seat that matches the front seats, and there is a full roll cage! There is a box of spare parts, and a couple of mufflers that could be installed in place of the headers to straight pipes that it currently has. This Jeep would be fine for someone who has the time to work with it. There is probably not a lot that needs to be done to get it on the road in minimum form, but it needs a lot of work to make it a daily driver. This Jeep is sold as-is, and I can’t provide an emission test, since it doesn’t run. It does have a title, but hasn’t been registered for a long time.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550.
The gas tank looks like it has the bigger filler hole like a M-38, but the opening looks to be CJ-3A.
“1950 CJ3A Willy’s Jeep with artic top. Great project jeep solid metal. Will need to be towed. Needs new battery and tires. Mechanic said it would take about an hour or so to get it running. It has been sitting for about 6 months. Clean title. Email if you want to come take a look.
The military commissioned a cold weather top, or “closure,” for use on the new M-38 Jeep Jeep which went into production in 1950. The cold weather closure, nicknamed the “arctic top,” saw action during the Korean war, and has a reputation as being the best-built aluminium top manufactured for either military or civilian Jeeps.”
