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 $2750
This might be a WWII chassis. The transmission crossmember mount is early and it looks like this may have had a driver’s side spring helper.
“New transmission, full time 4 wheel drive runs good”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8900.
Not a jeep, but still pretty neat!
“1956 dodge airforce forceable entry rescue truck powerwagon. Only 300 of these trucks produced very very few left. This is a licensed California historic vehicle. Unrestored totally original truck with all the knick knacks that came with it very cool vintage 4 wheel drive truck. This truck was in the movie The Right Stuff. former movie vehicle. All lights sirens work runs and drives great fires right up.”
Steve shared this odd ball.
“Wow, it’s a Austin FX-3 BMC gas powered London taxi cab with title and meter,
asking $1200, yes, it’s a spare parts car for the other taxis we have,
Features auto jacking for flat tires, whoops, tyres…
Repowered by a WW2 Willys Go Devil flat head engine and trans,
you could put that in your army Jeep
when was the last time you saw a London taxi in the USA?
as featured in Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies.
cheaper if you don’t take the engine and trans”

Ted shared this one. I don’t follow the prices on these close, but he felt it was the best price on one he’d seen in a while.

“1985 Jeep J20 Pioneer
AMC 360 V8, 3-speed automatic transmission, Dana 44 front, Full Float Dana 60 rear axle. Reliably runs and drives, title in hand
See and hear it here: https://youtu.be/MHv6ba9Oj1U
Originally a farm truck in Kansas, then transfered to new ownership in New Mexico where it sat for a number of years. I purchased and shipped the truck to NH in December 2016. The frame and body are incredibly sound with no real rust damage, only patchy surface rust. There are multiple small dents around the body, it was a utility truck but all in all the body is good and straight. The J20 starts, runs, drives, cruises, turns and stops well. I’ve put a lot of work into the Jeep to make it reliable, fun and safe to drive. I had plans to finish and fully restore it but my military obligations have changed my plans.

Glenn spotted this rare VW Type 183 built for the Canadian Military. This particular vehicle is for sale out of Montreal. You can learn more about them on Wikipedia.
Blaine told me there used to be some companies that convert Datsun 620 trucks to 4WD using jeep parts. He provided a few examples:
And here’s another. This one is for sale:

A comment on cargurus also mentions the use of jeep parts with Datsuns:
“There were machine shops who did the conversions that individual dealer had contracts with .Datsun were built by spencer low, southbay, quadco,northwest atv. They used early jeep components dana axles and the semi tough dana 300 tease. Early models used Jeep rear end also to keep 5 on 5 1/2 matching wheels but them the datsun rears were retained with a machined front hubs to run the standard datsun 6 lug wheel.. most conversion company’s added a tag under the vin tag on the back of the driver door sil ,quadco had stamped shift knobs I’ve owned 5 datsuns 73-79 converted to 4×4 a 76 courier sasquatch 4×4 conversion.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
It’s not listed as a specific model in the ad, but perhaps it is an M-606A2? The rear passenger side filler is something that wasn’t originally listed on the documentation.
“you are about to view a fully restored 1975 Army Jeep 4WD that is sure to take a trophy in every show entered. It has the optional 6 cylinder and overdrive trans making it a joy to drive highway speeds 70 MPH with ease. It has free wheeling locking hubs for long distance travel. This Jeep is very reliable and runs like a dream. It has the heavy duty dana axles and an awesome parade siren. The 4WD works perfectly. This Army Jeep is the hit of every parade runs cool never overheats on parade duty and gets standing ovations when passing by. It has a clear Title and is ready to go to a new Home. This Jeep is a lot of fun sure to bring smiles to many who see it.”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $3500.
This model still has some jeep parts on it. You can learn more about Zamboni Ice Resurfacers & Willys here.
