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 $2000
(01/31/2011) This ran when parked … was only 25 years ago.
“1942 Willys Jeep for sale. It ran when it was parked 25 years ago. Has mostly original parts. ”
Here’s a great shot of an unusual wooden hardtop for a CJ-2A. The wood appears knotless, too.
Here’s a cool image from 2006 taken in Iceland that I found on this Flickr Site.
You can see an imagine of a CJ-3B falling apart here, but the image is copyright protected.
Last night installed a free App for my Android phone called CraigsNotifica Craigslist. There is both a free version and a $9 version. (here is something similar for the iphone, but i’ve never used it)
What this App does is allow you to create different searches of one or more craigslists to auto search for items and then notify you if someone uploads an item that matches.
For example, I have a ‘Willys|cj2a|cj3a|cj3b|dj3a’ search string for 6 different craigslists in the northwest that allows me to now keep tabs on local jeeps.
I also have a search on any free stuff listed in the Boise Craigslist (partly, simply because it’s amazing what people will give away).
Here are a couple examples of screenshots.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5300.
Nice looking, but doesn’t start at the moment.
“1964 willys jeep cj3 new paint has been stored in heated building for four years new wheels & tires new battery has bad fuel will need fuel system cleaned/will not start”
It sure looks like a lot has been completed on this project. Get the body built and you’ve got a nice CJ-6.

It seems nice enough, though not sure why they’d pull off the original steering wheel and put the sport wheel on it.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(10/27/2010) There’s been plenty of work done on this rig.
“Up for sale, like the title says, 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. It has been an on going project but it is time to let go. Spring over axle lift with American Racing rims and 35″ tires. Full size spare. 6 point roll cage, bucket seats, with 4 point harnesses. The axles have been swapped. Dana 44 in the rear and is locked with a mini spool and the front is a Dana 30 open with disc brakes. The motor is a Ford 289 V8 out of a 66 mustang, runs great. Front half of the frame has been boxed to handle the power/torque. Transmission is a T-18 from a 70’s ford. Low 6.32 ratio 1st gear. Transfer case is a Dana 18 twin stick, adapted with an advanced adapters kit. 4Lo 1st gear this thing crawls and does great! Custom drive shafts. Full soft top with doors. Like I said this is a project….right now it runs and drives great, however, the passenger seat needs a bracket built, and I had to cut the floor board for the transmission to fit so some of the front floor board will need replaced. I am currently working on fabbing both but it wouldnt take much to button up. This toy has plenty of power and could easily have more. I will attach a picture but if you want more feel free to email and ask, I have plenty.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500.
