About eWillys
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.
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 .
(06/15/2010) I think it is time for me to create a post on how to take a good picture, issues of light/shadows, what to take, and what not to take ….

That almost looks like a DJ-3A body based on the dashboard.
“1947 Willis Jeep, has been completely restored. Under the hood is a V6 motor- 3.8 Commando AMC with only 500 miles. Jeep has 1974 frame and running gears out of a C-J5.

On site buy only. Will consider possible trade to S-10 Pickup 1995 and newer. My cell: 423-489-7558 and ask for Billy.”
Dan forwarded this ad. I think ROUGH accurately describes this project.
“1947 Willys Jeep with clear title. Has original engine. Motor was running when last parked. But needs work. Great father & son project! NO TRADES! NO TRADES! Not trying to be rude but I want to get rid of this not trade it for another…thanks.”

“rough willys, not sure of year, good for parts or restore, does not run, roll, or steer. It has a small v8 in it and there are a couple of mice living in it. It is in my driveway and my wife wants it gone, I can’t understand why. If interested call 860-836-4994”
(06/18/2010) Dan’s on a streak tonight. This looks like a fine price that includes a hardtop and softtop.
“I can NOT take any trades for this Willys. 55,858 original miles. She was completely undercover in a carport for last 30 years with very little in town miles, as it was used as a snow plow only which now it is not. 2 Tops – Sears catalog hardtop with doors and soft top (needs some work) with doors.
Last summer this is what was replaced: Completely new brakes, starter solenoid, seats recovered with Marine grade vinyl so that they are waterproof. We hade a tune up performed 6/21/2010 to replace the coil, coil wire, distributor cap, rotor, condenser, points & spark plugs. This is still a 6 Volt system.
This really is a classic car and as much original as is possible for a 63 year old vehicle. She does have some rust holes in the floor boards but not very badly. There is also some rust on the side steps. We are forced to sell is the only reason we are selling so that is why I can NOT take any kind of trade. I can email you other pictures if you would like.”
“All 4 wheel cylinders have been rebuilt.the cluth slave cylinder has been rebuilt. Replace the cylinoids.has new battery. 4 wheel drive. 5.25 gear ratio in rear. Dana 22s under it.runs good, drives good.entire tub has been rhino lined. Just needs bikiin top.clean title.”
