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 $1000
Listed as a CJ-6, this looks more like a CJ-7 body.
“New just took out of box 1986 jeep CJ6 fiberglass body”
It looks like there’s a pile of money put into this unusual rig. A couple things need fixing.
“This is a high-dollar build custom 1977 Jeep CJ that is just unreal! People come from all over to see this and get a picture with it. It is an extreme head-turner!! It will snap necks! The local police love it and offered to give me an escort wherever I need to go with it! It will dominate any 4×4 show. I own a car lot and use it for advertising. It is perfect for drawing business in.
It is an all steel body with the obvious mod, two extra doors! There is no roof with it. I was going to build an aluminum roof but never got around to it. It’s always been garage kept. The tires are 52 inch. The rims are 20 inch. It has a gorgeous small block chevy 350 with 350 turbo trans. I’ll add additional info about the rears tomorrow. I need to double check. It has air suspension. There is about 12-18 inches of travel with air. There is $60,000 invested in this. I use the term invested loosely… You will be investing though. This is an investment for your business or personal collection. The loss has already been absorbed by the original builder and myself. I can’t really call it a loss because it did it’s job. I sold a lot of cars and trucks due to the increased traffic this thing brought in.
Things it needs: the steering box mounted more sturdy. The mount flexes. It has a leak in the air suspension.
Please Call me before buying it now. It is a custom Jeep and I’m selling it as-is where is.”

UPDATE: Was $6500. **Status Unknown**
(06/07/2014) Here’s a ‘Coca Cola’ themed jeep.
“I am selling my 1978 Jeep CJ7. It is originally from Texas where there is almost no humidity which has kept it rust and rot free. It has an in-line 6 cylinder with 57k on the odm and a manual 3 speed. It has been serviced by my local mechanic and is regularly maintenanced. Garage kept, shifts like a dream and runs like a beast. 4 wheel drive is in perfect working order and has not been in any automobile accidents. The body is pretty much dent free for being all original; not bad for being over 30 years old. Any Jeep enthusiast knows this Jeep is a gem. I have title and am ready to make a deal, although I do not want to part with it. No low ball offers and no trades please so serious inquiries only. This Jeep doesn’t depreciate in value. I have a hard top with doors and also have soft half doors. New tires and red seat belts to match the color scheme. Not my daily driver, never off road, it has only been driven locally to the gym or store and is parked the majority of the winter besides a ride up the street to keep things lubed. Never been bonded, no body work has ever been done or needed to be done. Can be an excellent show car with a new paint job.”
No pics provided.

Doug spotted this ad (http://limaohio.craigslist.org/pts/3736548170.html), which led me to Rudy’s CJ Website: http://www.rudys-cjs.com
Rudy’s is located in Findlay, Ohio, and specializes in 1976-1983 CJ-5s, CJ-7s and CJ-8s (scramblers). They sell both complete jeeps and parts.
According to the website, Rudy’s forte is “selling originally rot free, unpatched CJs for you to take to the next level or personalize or enjoy in it’s original glory as it sits. Our philospophy is that all the mechanicals can be easily resolved but it is only original metal once. We do not do any fiberglass Jeeps nor do we ever patch frames.”
This seller has a variety of jeeps for sale. It looks like there’s a 2A or 3A next to the 3B, but it isn’t listed below.

Steve dropped me a note and shared some pictures of his jeeps. Both the flattie and the CJ-7 look great! If you need any help driving them, just let me know 🙂
He writes, “The blue one is a 1978 CJ7 and the Willys is a 1948 CJ2A. I’ve had the CJ7 for 27 years and got the Willys from my dad last year. The Willys has been in the family for 50 years, most of it spent with my late Grandfather in California. When I got the Willys from my dad, it was in rough shape, and I spent about a year fixing it up. I really enjoy driving both, and the Willys gets a lot of attention.”
