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: This appears to have sold. Was listed at $1000.
This might be a good price. It looks like the driver’s side is rusty or banged up.

“Ok people you can get this old classic cheep its all mostly complete the motor runs so spend a little and drive it away i have done all the monkey work so you can gain from my loss.Sorry cant play any games with the price look it up i am about 3 grand cheaper than anyone else thanks.”
This has a rear PTO. This might be a good price.
“Runs, has PTO in back bumper. Ford straight 6 motor.”

This looks like a solid truck.
“Runs good. Low miles. Has been sitting in the barn a few years. Also Have an unaltered 1939 Ford Deluxe Sedan (7,500.00) including all the chrome and lights in a box. Have a running 1978 GMC Royale RV for 3,500.00. Have all titles.”

I like the description.
“1948 willys 4×4 p/u with hydraulic 2 way plow with dump box. previous owner installed 6cyl f-head motor. i just replaced plow pump and up/down valve. wheel cylinders just rebuilt and master cyl replaced. technically, this does plow snow (and some b/s artists might say it plows great)………this is a project. i did a bunch of stuff on it and would like to pass it on to someone who will pick up the ball and do more stuff on it. this is a project. UNDERSTAND, this needs work to be in “good condition for it’s age”, {an extremely overused phrase). call for more info and i’ll do my best to accurately describe it. 518-692-7758. the price is best offer UNDER $1000.- my answer to “what do you really want for it, or what will you take for it ” is $1000.”

UPDATE: Still Available
(04/11/2010) It runs and doesn’t look too bad.
“1947 Willys Truck, all original frame and body with no modifications. Rebuilt 134 CID Go-Devil engine, less than 1000 miles on it. Three speed T 90 Tranny. Spicer 18 Transfer case. Timken split axle rear end. Dana 25 front end. The gas tank is bad but I have a brand new one for it. The body isn’t the best but it is in good condition for it’s age. The engine runs great. This is a classic truck in need of a restore. $2000 Firm..”
There appears to be some value.
“1954 Willys flatbed truck. The truck is all together and is ready to be finished. 327 chev. V8, 3 speed willys transmission. 2 extra rear ends, and all necessary parts to finish my project truck. Health, and lack of time forces the sale of this truck. A steel at the asking price of $1,500 however best cash offer takes. Want this truck gone this week if possible. 503 281-9628”

This looks pretty good for the price.
“BOUGHT THIS FOR A PROJECT 15 YEARS AGO, LOST SHOP. HAS A FROZEN CHEVY 283 MOTOR HOOKED UP TO THE ORIGINAL DRIVETRAIN. HAS SOME SURFACE RUST BUT THE BODY IS SOLID. GOOD TITLE. COMES WITH A TOW BAR AND IS READY TO ROLL. 503-314-6622”

A reader named Ron wrote me the other day. He spotted a great deal on a restorable truck at a great price and now has a website with pics of the early work (I’ve included a couple pics below). Click on the photogallery to see all the pics. Ron already has a 1971 CJ-5 and his son a 84 CJ-8; you can see pics of those vehicles in the photogallery as well. Congrats on the find and good luck with the rebuild!
Ron writes, “We are in the middle of the off frame restoration of the 61 Willys. It was purchased new in 61 by a lady with a farm in Connecticut. She ordered it with a snow plow and a hydraulic dump bed. It only has 22,000 miles. I bought it from her grandson.”
Here’s the truck before restoration. It looks like a good starting point.
Here’s a look at how the rear of the dump bed frame looks.
And here’s a closeup of the dump mechanism.
No pics provided.
