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
Robin spotted this unusual Franken Jeep.

(07/18/2012) This looks like a good price.

UPDATE: Still Available. Please review this thread before contacting the seller: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=682338 as it appears this jeep is being sold by the same person (the ad displays a phone number which links to his name).
(06/18/2012) This look alike a to-good-to-be-true ad. Possible scam.

This isn’t perfectly original, but looks like a solid little jeep.
“This is a restored authentic 1953 m38a1 willys 1/4 ton jeep. This model has a L head go devil engine that s running strong with an electronic ignition by pertronix. Transmission is. T-90 with the original Dana/ spicer d44 rear and d25 front axles. Most of the military bolt ons have been re-located an installed with original parts r new old stock. This isn’t perfect, it’s 1953, and it’s $5k. Perfect is $8-15k. Have all new bolt on engine parts. Frame was sealed when body was off with kbs coating frame paint. No rust on frame and all rust has been stopped, removed and repainted. Rocker panels and floor solid and floor was nearly all replaced. Has cj3a gas tank under seat which is clean and hooked up. Converted to 12 volt by p.o. And all lights and blinkers function making this a solid vehicle that can be registered. Waiting for the title to come back from SOS and will have any time now. Have an original 1953 Michigan plate that goes with it($30 value). Tire has tread but are checked and I havent gotten to replacing them. Driveable. I ought a new 7 x 15 spare which is closer to original size. Has cj5 15″ rims.
The hood numbers and unit markings are the original usmc badges I found as I sanded down the body.
I get a lot of heads turning when I take it out. It’s an awesome feeling having a jeep that no one around does. My neighbor has a 2012 rubicon $40k jeep and is jealous. It’s history and old=cool
I love this thing. I really wanted a cj2a but this project called my name. Willing to entertain cj2a, cj3a, cj3b trades plus cash or straight up if in good condition.”

UPDATE: Was $700. **SOLD**
My initial reaction to this was, “what is wrong with you people in Alaska?”. But then, I thought better of it, realizing there are just as many crazy contraptions in every latitude. Then, thinking about it even more, I thought that bringing the exhaust over the hood might just be an impractical, funky, slightly nutty, but necessary warming solution?? Any, even better, you just never know when carrying an extra body might be useful.

UPDATE: Was $3850. **SOLD**

I’m sure the CJ-3B doesn’t run, unclear on the other two.

I’m not sure how much search pulled up a UK add, but what the heck …
“The nicest tub and frame you ever saw! No added sheetmetal, welds, bondo or any media blasting of any kind. This jeep has never been left outside.
