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 $2500.
Here’s an unusual flattie.
“1947 Willys Jeep body mounted on a Chevy S-10 2wd chassis. Front power disc brakes. Chevy 383 stroker motor with roller rockers and forged domed pistons. Turbo 350 trans. Runs and drives great. Needs lights wired and windshield to be street legal. Lots of new parts. I have a title for the Willys Jeep. $2500”
UPDATE: This was $700 .. now $1200
(10/10/2009) It’s not street legal. To call it a “great project” might be stretching things.
“CHEVY V8 350 W/350 TRANS NEW BRAKES FRONT AND REAR TOP COMES OFF NOT STREET LEGAL GREAT PROJECT WHATEVER YOU WANT TO USE IT FOR RUNS GOOD DOES NOT SMOKE NEW BATTERY AND WIPER MOTOR TAG IT AS A ANTIQUE AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE IT INSPECTED LOTS OF POWER CALL BILL FOR DETAILS 757 6422202 (THIS IS NOT STREET LEGAL AND ALTHOUGH IT RUNS DRIVES AND STOPS IT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND WILL NEED TO BE TRAILERD!!!!!) …..”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Here’s an aluminum flattie body on a modified Ford Bronco chassis. As I mentioned in a post last week, the vented hoods are very rare. I’m not sure if that’s aluminum or steel.
“Unique aluminum bodied CJ2 Jeep. This is a professionally built for off road, but very streetable CJ2. It is a real eye catcher. It features a highly modified 1974 Bronco chassis with 4 wheel disc brakes, dual master cylinders, urethane bushings, power steering, trans. cooler, power steering cooler, etc. It sits on, like new, 35X10X15 Goodyears. Power is supplied by a fresh 351w ford with edelbroch manifold and newly rebulit edelbrock 4 barrel, connected to a modified c-4 trans.and headers. It is an older construction, but is done right! I prefer cash, but will consider a trade for a nice cj or wrangler or ? and cash. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
It runs! And includes the lawn chair I imagine!
“No Body, Runs, Drivable,Kaiser Super Sonic Motor,4 Cyl,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Assuming the data plate belongs to this jeep, I’d guess this jeep to be a late ’46 at the earliest — not that it really matters given the custom mods.
“NO TITLE NOT SURE IF IT WAS BUILD BY SOMEBODY OR IT IS ORGINAL WITH THE BED.WHEN I BOUGHT IT THE OLDER GENTELMAN SAID IT IS A 1945 BUT I’M NOT SURE WHAT YEAR IT IS IT’S AROUND THAT YEAR FOR SURE. HAS A FLATHEAD 4. HAS 3 SPEED TRANS IT RUNS AND DRIVES IT JUST DON’T HAVE BRAKES.HAS LOW AND HIGH RANGE 4 WEEL DRIVE ALL WORKS DO HAVE WINDSHEILD TO GO WITH IT.”
Greg spotted this old Burma up for auction in Denver. There’s something about the placement of the headlights that makes me think these vehicles appear hunched over in some way, ready to bear their load.
“1943 Ford Burma Jeep. Unrestored as shown. Stored at least 10 years, either driveline or engine, or both siezed or locked up from non-use, so expect motor and driveline restoration is also needed. Does not run or drive. Rust on stake bed areas, as shown.
“US Navy” marked on the engine cover data plate, Also visible is “149958” which is the title VIN number, and other number appears to be “90148”, but not guaranteed. Other data plates are nearly illegible, sorry.
Sold with title, SALVAGE Colorado Title. Vehicle was used off road on a mountain property for many years, and was not driven the last several years. It was easier to replace a long lost title as a salvage vehicle, otherwise the vehicle would have had to be brought into running/driving condition and submitted for inspections, etc. So for now the vehicle is not intended for registered highway use in Colorado, until the new owner brings it into running/driving condition, meets any other guidelines necessary, and applies for previously salvage title. Please check with your local authorities if you intend to restore and/or make road worthy for public roads, or if any inspections or other procedures would be required.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
This is how NOT to stretch the front of the jeep to accomodate a longer frame ….
Just a couple updates tonight. The kids have me sufficiently worn out, so I’ll wait until tomorrow to add some listings.
Paul sent this awesome pic of the most unique radio flyer I have ever seen. Paul reports from Alaska, “Sunday, August first, I went to an outdoor car show even though the weather forecast predicted heavy rainfall. Naturally, with the low lying gray clouds and the expected rain the turnout was less than in years past but with the summer season drawing to a close there were still quite a few interesting cars, trucks and motorcycles but what caught my eye wasn’t any one of these. I’ve attached a picture of this impressive ehicle, just looking at the picture causes me to grin and when I watched it being driven down the road to the show I about fell over I was laughing so hard.”
The shipping on this from Argentina would be a killer — However, I can’t say I’ve ever seen these for sale in the US. You can learn more about the JA-3UB here (though the translation is rough).
Here is an example of a IKA Jeep with an unusual soft top.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
This is very cool, though the seller is a bit off on their history. I’d like some better pics.
“This is a Willy’s Jeep. After the war there was too many left over so Willy’s started to put implements on them.I think that it is in the era of the 50’s This is a ditch witch. It will need to be picked up.”
