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 Make Offer
As usual, the folks at the Israeli Bureau of eWillys have spotted another unusual vehicle. I *think* this is a combination of a CJ-3A body, willys truck/wagon fenders/windshield, a cj-3a hood and grille, and some creativity. But I could be wrong….
“Selling Willys jeep. Doesn’t run. Has a straight flat six cylinder motor. Comes with 4×4 rear PTO wench and welder generator. Frame is in good condition.”
UPDATE: The price dropped to $600
(10/12/09) I think I saw this in the Road Warrior Movie, lol. And yeah, it has no brakes, but, seriously, would you really be worried about hitting a tree in this?
“1954 JEEP WILLY’S, RUNS NICE, 4X4, M/T, NO BRAKES!!! HAS RUST AND A BUNCH OF HOME MADE WELDS ALL OVER BODY NEED ALOT OF WORK MAKE OFFER!!!”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $2100
I’d like a closer look at the bed to see what makes this a fire truck.
“1955 Willys / Jeep FIRE TRUCK, Kaiser Supersonic 6 cylinder, 4X4 works, runs well, Needs brakes bled and new home.”
UPDATE: Well, Steve couldn’t stand the thought of someone not restoring this truck, so he bought it and has offered to provide updates to ewillys readers as he restores it. Best of luck Steve!
A reader named Steve examined this Truck today. It’s got a Dump O Matic Hydraulic Dump Bed. Steve felt this was more work than he was looking for, but thought it would be great ‘for the right Willys Addict’. Thanks Steve!
Steve reports, “This was the first year for the pickup with only 2,346 4WD models built. The bed has a fair amount of body rot, but could be repaired or replaced. The cab is original and mostly complete. It’s not dented or molested. The engine is seized (but included to keep matching numbers) and the seat bottom and headliner are missing. A replacement engine is included that came from a military generator that was religiously maintained and ran on propane. The tires are dry rotted, but the frame looks good.”
Here’s the Craigslist AD:
“1947 Jeep pick-up. 4 wheel drive. Dump O Matic pick up bed. Truck is in fair condition for an unrestored truck of this age. This is a restoration project.There is rust but cab and floor are in good condition.Truck has 42000 miles. Last time on road was 1987. For more information call David at 401-465-9490”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
The body looks good from the pics. This is a project.
“This truck is is part way through a body off restoration. Their is no rust and only minor body work left to do. The body it primed inside and out with undercoat on the bottom. It comes with a rare Kaiser Fraser flat top L-6 motor. Photos are old and some more work has been done. Will consider a trade for 400cc + sport ATV.”
No pics, but this is a strong running truck (according to the owner).
“1958 willys truck with title, 6 cylinder engine 3 speed transmission, engine was rebuilt some time ago, 4×4 works good use it this year at Mt. Taylor last year for me hunting getting to old , pretty much all original body need a little work, dark green paint is ok, brakes work good , just had the heater core replaced so it does have a good heater for the winter, bought tires brand new a year ago, will drive at 55mph all day long even the light work I change it over to 12 volt system, the old 6 volt was just to weak, need to sell, $900.00 or best offer. sorry no pictures at this time email for an appointment .”
Or, from our Israeli Bureau, spotted another Tender Truck for sale. I used Babelfish to translate the Hebrew, but it was only barely understandable. So, we can just check out the pics. Thanks Or!
You can see the original article here and here’s the main Tender page, though I will be creating a Tender section soon.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
With some new paint, this would look pretty good.
“Classic 1953 Willys Pickup. 4 wheel drive, 4 cyl. original 134F engine, winch, extra hood. Good running vehicle. $2000. Rare Find!! You don’t see too many of these around anymore”
I’ve lived in Seattle. I grew up near Seattle. That doesn’t look like the Seattle I remember ….
“Good running truck. Wipers work. Lights work. 1967 Buick 6 cylinder. Converted to 12 volt. 4-wheel drive works good. About $2,000 in recent work to brakes, cables suspension and engine. Classic license plate so annual license fees are $0.00 forever. Clear title and about 41,000 miles. Jim 206-285-9522 jimibird@comcast.net”

This should move snow nicely. Nothing fancy though.
“1958 Willys pickup with heavy duty snow plow. This truck starts easily and dependably even in sub-zero weather. We used this truck for years to keep a 1/4 mile section of private road plowed. We’ve since moved to a more civilized location where the county plows the road, so the truck has been used mainly during the summer to haul firewood and logs around the property. 226 cu. in. 6 cylinder engine, 3 speed transmission, 12 volt electrical system, full set of tire chains. This is not a show truck and has its fair share of rust and dings but it is reliable and very capable.”
