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 $4500.
This looks nice and has a number of additional mods not listed, including the updated column, swing pedals, and more.

(01/06/2010) “This is a rare 6 cylinder 1949 Willys Jeepster. The Jeepsters were constructed only from 1948 to 1950 and only made a limited number of the 6 cylinders starting in mid 1949. This particular car has been featured in an article in Open Road Magazine. The engine has recently been rebuilt and the rest of the car is almost fully restored. This car is a head turner. I can’t tell you the number of times someone has come up to me and asked what kind of a car this is and that they think it is one of the best looking cars on the road.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
(12/17/09) It runs and apparently stops, too.
“1955 Willys Overland cj5 RUNS AND DRIVES!!! TAKE IT ON THE BIG HUNT RIGHT AWAY! You could make this one nice project! Or… enjoy it as is! -Runs and drives! -Tow-Bar on front. -Bikini-top, Heavy-Duty Vinyl cover, -Gas Can. -Heater. -Spare tire with rim. -Lots of extra parts.
An all around fun vehicle to tool around in. Take it camping, take it hunting! Tail lights are already set up for easy connection so you can pull this behind you on the big deer hunt! You see a lot of Willys Jeeps sitting around in fields and back lots that don’t even run and people are asking crazy prices for them. Here, we have a running and driving piece of history! ”
UPDATE: Still Available
(12/09/09) It seems like there is something funky about that steering wheel, but I’m not sure what it is. The steps are missing and the back appears patched. It looks rust free.

If you like maps and history of the US, you’ll likely find this STATISTICAL ATLAS
OF THE NINTH CENSUS (1870) fascinating. Even better, all the maps are available in 300 dpi (a 256mb download)! It’s fun, in map-geek way, to see what cities were listed and which were left out (Ex … Olympia Wa shown, Seattle Wa not)
Below are a couple map examples. Click on the map to get a higher resolution version. The first map shows a mapping of the woodlands. At least in the western half of the US, with which I’m most familiar, I think that’s a pretty accurate assessment of how the woodlands appear today (though the trees are likely newer and shorter).
And here’s a geographical map:
This looks to be a mish mash of parts.
“1943 CJ2A Jeep that runs but no brakes, this would make someone a good project or get brakes working for a river buggy, it does have title and has current tag, $1500.00 CASH ONLY”

This doesn’t look too bad.
“1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A. No engine, No title. $1,000 firm. As is, where is. Coolidge AZ”

This is part of an estate sale. The price will be lowered in about 3 weeks.
“I am clearing out my dad’s estate and have for sale one ‘53 Willys Jeep Wagon. This is original. No engine changes or aftermarket changes. I mean original as in 6 volt and generator charger. Jeep has 81,050 miles, never really a daily driver. Used mainly for fishing, hunting and then snowplowing my dad’s neighbor’s driveways after my dad retired to the country. Not too much time spent on salted roads. Engine was rebuilt years ago by a professional mechanic (my dad). Machine work was done by Hatch Grinding. They milled the head and balanced the crankshaft to the rods and pistons. The F head engine runs well. The rust on tailgate is lower than I’ve seen on wagons of this age. Also has the original wood guides on the floor. Brakes don’t work right now. We have not been able to remove the master cylinder cap yet. We soaked it in WD 40 and will try again in a few days. Now for the minuses, which I feel are lower than you’ll find on other old wagons. The needs are right fender (bad dents), front bumper, grill needs to be chromed. Glass in some windows is bad. Has extra glass but could be just as bad. And, of course, as any project wagon needing restoring, a complete interior redo. Body is solid with low rust, just a couple of holes, with 1 pin hole under driver’s floor. Jeep comes with extra seats and wheels. A little work and you can drive this while you restore. I can provide 15 high resolution photos to serious inquiries. We must communicate by phone first. Starting this out at $1000. I have 3 months to sell and will lower price in about 3 weeks if not sold. Snow plow parts to be removed unless you want to buy a snow plow also”
