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 $1500.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This looks like a good price.
“HISTORY OF THE JEEP. 1950 -1975 about it was used by the DNR(still has the sticker on the window) so you know it was well maintained. 1975-1984 about it was used to plow a churches parking lot (well maintained). 1984-1 month ago it was owned by a farmer who stored it in his barn except to plow his driveway. (he was nuts about maintaining his vehicles in a good way). Now I have done the mechanical work on it so it drives and stops and all i have to do is superfisial work to make her pretty. I am willing to trade for another more kid friendly vehicle.All Original 1950 Willys Jeep. I bought it about 1 month ago to restore. I just found out I am going to have my first child so I need to restore something more kid friendly. I replaced all the brakes, wheel studs, whipper parts and have a few extra misc part to put on. The previous owner replace the exhaust, master cylinder and battery. She runs like a top and drives well. Fairly new top no rips or anything. I was really hoping to keep her but it is what it is. I am going to keep fixing it up seeing as though I have about 8 months till the baby comes so if you want to get it cheap then now is the time.”
This looks like a strong build that includes various stainless parts.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
My only experience with a 400 was the one dad installed in our motorhome. That motor easily moved the motorhome along with a trailer with my on the back of it. I can only imagine that much power in the jeep itself!
“This a nice jeep, we have owned it for about thirty years, it has a 400 SB chev eng. runs great, only selling because we don,t use it anymore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6300.
This looks good.
“1952 Jeep Willy…V8, runs ok. New tires,new full roll bar .. Blue, no rust or dents .. Some small scatches..Always garaged..Only driven about 50 miles in the last 3 years, never off road…Will take 1st best offer..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This looks in good shape.
“1949 Willys Jeep in great condition. Only a small bit of rust on the undercarriage. Otherwise the Jeep is in outstanding condition. The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner and always starts easy and runs strong. The roll bar and front and rear bumpers are custom made with a detachable tow bar and receiver adapters for winch or other uses. All tires are new. The transmission and transfer case both work well and appear to be original. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volts and has a GM alternator. All lights work and backup lights have been installed for general use or field dressing game animals. The brakes work well, but the master cylinder leaks. It has not been registered since 1999, but can easily be registered as an antique. I have not owned this Jeep very long and really don’t need it, however I have enjoyed driving it and it’s more fun than an ATV.”
UPDATE: A reader got this on the cheap.
This sounds like another one of th0se “I parked it in the woods years ago and left it there because…” stories.
“Have title for this Willys. Flathead, 4 cylinder. Hi-lo range. Undercarriage, motor, running gear. NEEDS BODY! Hasn’t been driven in 15 years. Make offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
I’m pretty sure this is a fiberglass body. ACME continues to sell fiberglass, metal and aluminum flattie bodies, as noted below.
“This was a project that never got finished. It has a Buick 231/ turbo 350/ Spicer18/ dana44 with 5/38 gearing/ Summer brothers axils/ aluminum wheels. The body (tub, front fenders, and grill) is an acme with minimum rust. Also comes with a two piece windshield and extra grill (small headlight), windshield wipers, extra u-joints and back seat Asking 2000.00 or best offer.”
Here’s a pic of an ACME glass flattie body. Note the lack of tailgate. You can still purchase these at ACME for $2500:
ACME also sells metal bodies (steel (Early MB, MB, GPW, M-38, CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B and even a mini slat grille) & aluminum), though none I see come without tailgates except for the MB bodies, but those have the normal mb characteristics.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(03/28/2010) There’s been a number of updates on this flattie.

This has a rear PTO, but looks pretty beat up.
