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 .
It doesn’t run, but appears solid. Note the custom cross member in front; I’m gonna guess this has an updated engine.
“1956 Willys CJ5. Great project. No major rust or rot. Not running but comes with everything to get it going. I have title.”

A few nights ago I reached the 10,000 post mark (each story or ad equals a ‘post’). I’ve been looking forward to that milestone for the last few months. It averages out to about 3,333 posts per year since the launch of eWillys, though actually most have been done in the last 2 years. If you figure an average of 15 minutes a post, then that’s about 2,500 hours of work (or 10 posts per day or just a little less than 104 days of straight work), though that doesn’t include the email correspondence or old posts that I update. I think I’ll take Saturday off!
No pics provided, but runs.

I’ll be taking the next two nights off. See you next year on the 2nd! Happy New Year!
One year, I wrapped all the presents using gold and silver aluminum foil into all kinds of shapes. Another year, I wrapped presents using only recyclable materials. This year, I made some jeeps and cars :-). As you can see, I don’t take wrapping too seriously.
Happy Holidays All .. I’ll have my kids for the next week (starting tomorrow morning), so updates will be occasional and arbitrary.
Looks like the side is patched. Not sure if there is value here or not.

This was supposed to be published last night (sat night) …. but somehow I never hit the “publish” button. It just goes to show you that it REALLY WAS one of those kind of nights ….
It just seems like one of those type of nights, so I’m going to save updates for the morning.
See, not only did I manage to lose my 3 month old phone tonight (by placing it on my car and driving off), but then I wrote an amusing story about it, only to have the post disappear when I published it. I think it is time for a beer … Night all!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
It’s a project, but appears as solid as the seller suggests.
“I BOUGHT TWO WILLYS AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAD PLANNED TO FIX UP THE 1946 BUT THE WIFE..WELL YOU KNOW…. ” WHY DO YOU NEED TWO JEEPS !! ” OKAY WHATEVER. THE ONE I AM KEEPING DRIVES, BUT NOT IN NEARLY AS GOOD SHAPE AS THE ONE I AM SELLING ! THE BODY IS IN GREAT SHAPE , I HAVE EVERYTHING IT NEEDS TO PUT BACK TOGETHER AND DRIVE EXCEPT AN T90 TRANNY , T18 TRANSFERCASE. THE ENGINE RAN GOOD BEFORE IT WAS PULLED BUT I PLANNED TO PUT A 283 CHEVY V8 IN IT. COMES WITH ALL THE STUFF TO WIRE IT FOR 12 VOLT. TIRES ARE 90% AND THE CHASIS ROLLS EASILY. NO TOP. THANKS , ”
Given it’s the holidays, calling tonight a Silent Night seems appropriate as I found very few jeeps for sale of interest. So, the few I found I’ll save for tomorrow.
Besides, I’ve been checking out the new Google Books search query and have found some additional family history to add to my geneology research.
Right now I’m doing a search on “Willys Jeep” using Google Books and hope to find something interesting. If I do, I’ll report it tomorrow. Enjoy your night!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a very nice build.

I have had this Jeep for the past 18 years and am the second owner. It is in very good shape being a Calif. vehicle all of its life WITH NO RUST. The 3B is in very good condition but not a “show car” it does have a few bumps and bruises but NEVER BEEN ABUSED. The 3B is very capable off road and I have been to such places as Moab UT, Rubicon Trail in CA, Ducey Trail CA, Pismo Beach, Dumont Dunes and numerous other trail in CA, UT, AZ. The 3B will stay with the newer CJ5, Wrangler, and any other 4×4 off road, 4×4, rock crawling or in the sand dunes ( I just wish I had paddle tires at times ) …”
