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 .
Can anyone tell what’s painted on the hood? It’s listed as a 1959, but I don’t see anything DJ here.

Looks like a good parts jeep price.
“For sale here is a 1949 Willy’s Jeep. I inherited it from my dad, who had plans for restoring it. Being a student I do not have the funds to restore it. I don’t know much about it other than it was a barn find from Indiana. So it does have some rust damage to the body. It is a rolling chassis. It was fitted for a small block ford engine and transmission. Both of which are still in the chassis. Comes with original Willy’s hood and tailgate. I have also a small block ford long block for it as well. I believe it is the 302 with a roller cam but I honestly have no idea. But the long block was purchased from a ford salvage yard and my dad intended on putting it in the jeep at some point. I will throw in this motor and whatever other parts I have for the Jeep, included in the asking price.”

Glenn spotted this one. It’s listed as a 1953, but has a 2A windshield.

Joe spotted this running project.
“I picked up a willys jeep as a project couple months ago and found myself with no time to work on it so I’ve decided to pass it on to someone who wants a fun running and driving project. The jeep has a sbc v8 mated to the original three speed and transfer case, original dana 25 and 44”

Poor thing.
“I have an old Jeep Willys free to first taker. Was in great shape before barn fire. Had a flathead v8. Not really sure if there is anything salvageable but it does look cool.
You haul. Would love to see it gone by this weekend.
No title (also unsure as to exact year).”

It runs, but has no title.
“1940 Willys jeep with original motor and transmission, 3 speed transmission with 4wd and the engine is a flat 4. No registration or title because it’s so old it’s only possible to have a registration but I don’t have the correct one. Runs and drives to a certain extent. Lights aren’t wired up, has a 6 volt system and seems like it was in the process of being turned into a 12 volt system, breaks don’t work, probably needs a master cylinder and all new wheel cylinders. Open to trades, $1800 OBO”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
It doesn’t run.
“it’s a 1949 cj-3a, motor ran fine before it sat for 3 years. I have kept the hood on and the intake has been covered up the whole time. It has had some starter and brake line work done (brakes are not working).
I recently put on new plugs and changed the oil, but haven’t had time to do much of anything else, that is why I’m selling it.
Overall it is in pretty good shape, definitely would make a solid platform to restore from. Gas tank is ok, as are the seat frames.”
