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 $15,000
This is offroad (or on ice) only.
“1951 race willys, v8 high performance motor, automatic transmission, trany lock, chipped, rev limitor, msd ignition, all wheel lockers, custom built, 6 sets of ice racing tires, bucket seats, tons of upgrades and performance parts, $15,000 O.B.O”
UPDATE: Last price was $1000. It sold.
The Parkette fiberglass body is an extreme rare, well made body. One of the best things about this body is that a CJ-3A windshield will properly fit it, unlike the fiberglass Bobcat body. During the 1970s, a friend of mine bought a Bobcat body, prepped it, and painted it. When he stuck on the windshield he discovered the cowl was too flat to properly seat the windshield to the cowl. To say he was angry was an understatement, because he felt he was mislead by the promises the manufacturer made.
So, after talking with the Parkette body manufacturer and getting assurances that the measurements were more accurate, he bought the body and has been happy about it ever since.
The body shownn below has had it’s rear wheel wells cut a bit. It’s got a good looking rollcage that has been attached to the frame. If this has been available when I was building biscuit, I would have started right here.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
This has some solid lettering Dogs. It sure looks like a racer from the 80s maybe.
“This is a project rig. It does not run. I don’t know what kind of shape the drive train is in. I found it in a field. I was told it used to be raced and the axles are welded up. I due have a title for it. I can’t remember the year at the moment but 46′ sticks in my head. I was going to build a wheeler out of it but I have no time or money. I’d like to see $800 but feel free to make an offer. I can send more pics. It’s currently in storage in Othello but I live in tri-cities.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown**

Now, you probably think I run eWillys because of all the money, fame, babes and glory I receive. Not true! Instead, it is a story like this one that makes the work worthwhile. Nearly two years ago I started swapping emails with 15 year old Chris Ruhnau. He had a mostly stock 1947 CJ-2A and was having problems with some wiring issues. We worked through those issues, brake issues, battery issues, and even a girl issue. Last summer he spotted a CJ-2A just down the road from him, with a full cage and more for only $1000. He couldn’t resist, so at age 16, he was the proud owner of two jeeps. Clearly, he suffered from a case of Willys Sickness.
Over the past winter he spent time working on his jeep and going to high school. This summer, he got everything finished and found his way to his very first PNW event. As you will read, he had a great time. Nice work on the jeep Chris and keep on racing!
“Dave!!! You’ll never believe this! I raced my jeep today! The PNW4WDA put on a race in Ethel, Wa. I raced twice in the obstacle course! It was so much fun. I’ve never had so much fun! In both races I got the same time… 1.61. It was really hard though because it was really soupy. I only had 2 problems, my fan wire shorted out and then my battery died, but those are minor and i still had tons of fun. everyone was coming up to me when I was sitting in line and asking about the jeep and saying it was nice. I felt pretty good about that. A guy i know that races said that he’s going to let me take my jeep to his shop and we’re going to fix my steering and he’s going to give me some brand new rancho shocks so that my fenders and battery box wont rub on the tire so much. The guy that used to be the leader of PNW4WDA asked for my email, too, to let me know when the events schedule so I can race a lot this summer!”
This looks like a good price on a nicely customized rig. Maybe it was even a former ECW4WDA jeep?

I ran across the below drag jeep that appears to be streetable based on the brakes lights and the caption on the picture.
