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: Price dropped to $2700.
(01/06/2020) The body is sitting on a later model frame.

“Might trade for something interesting and equal trade. Starts runs and rolls. Needs brakes bled, radiator repaired and wiring completed. Seats and welding on frame. I am too big for the small Willy’s tub.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown.
Prices vary from $18,000 to $500.
I took Sunday off, so no updates for Monday.
Late Sunday night Washington’s Governor shutdown all restaurants/bars, so we’ve plunged deeper into a unique time. Thankfully, Ann and I are well suited for hunkering down for a month (though I’m estimating nothing will be back to ‘normal’ in the US for another 8 weeks at least). As long as we have internet, and I see no reason we won’t continue to have internet, I’ll post eWillys updates.
Our biggest issue will be Ann’s mother-in-law, as her health continues to deteriorate. In ordinary times, her last ditch opportunity to live would be through the use of a ventilator to help her breath. However, if, like Italy, ventilators become a scarce, she will likely be denied the use of one, which will seal her fate sooner rather than later.
If you want to track the rise of COVID-19, I’d recommend this site: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 (During my time in Silicon Valley, I worked with ESRI and its ARCGIS software, which is what powers the overlays on the map .. they have some cool tech). As test kits get dispersed, I expect US numbers will rise quickly.
For those considering going to Easter Week in Moab, according to my son, Utah’s Governor is urging Grand County to shut it down (part of his job is to work with cities and counties of Utah to manage emergencies like this). There have also been votes within Moab to shut this year’s event down. FCA has already pulled out this year. So, don’t be surprised if it doesn’t take place.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700.
Not sure how much value is here. It’s got plenty of rust.
“Flat Head 4 Cyl. Engine

A real barn find!

This 4 Wheel Drive Booklet was likely produced between 1955-1957. An accompanying order form (seen at the bottom) suggests it was likely a 1957. The booklet was assigned form W-640. It’s not in the best of shape, but it also wasn’t very expensive.
The is a much better version of this booklet as compared to the earlier version from 1952.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Maury spotted this DJ-3A brochure, form number W241-6.
“You are bidding on an old and original undated 8 1/2 x 11″ folder that is advertising the Jeep Dispatcher. It is in excellent condition with some minor storage stress.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Maury spotted these. The Warn “Summer” Waffle-style hubs were the first type produced by Warn. Warn followed that up with the dimpled version. Learn more about these and other “summer” hubs here.
“We found this in a old Jeep we were restoring ,Willys Jeep Warn Hub . Condition very good in the BOX”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6600.
Appears solid.

“AZ and CA owned, Can sit for 6 months and starts in seconds. Drives great, 4 wheel drive works, sounds good with no smoke or leaks.
Early 1953 Willy’s had 3 features that later months and years did not have. Hinged Grill Welded Fender seem 4 Straps on Battery cover
Has back seat not shown in pictures 44,392 miles Comes with an after market steel Roof, Doors and Windows that bolts on.
Someone that knows M38a1’s will enjoy seeing this one. Had the 12 volt conversion, but the rest is very original.
Gauges for gas and voltage are not working well Seats are old Suspension looks original (meaning rubber is failing) I had fun, now someone else will. Clean Title Licensed in CA No Smog needed”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1800.
(01/20/2020) Engine hasn’t been run in at least ten years. Body has some rust.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/169188861005316/
“For Sale: $3,000
1947 Jeep Willys CJ-2A
Clear NM Title
Original “Go Devil” L-134 engine
Original T-90 transmission
Original Dana 18 transfer case
Body has some rust that will need to be repaired or used as a parts vehicle for another project. Engine ran when previous owner had it but parked it about 10 years ago after water pump started to leak. I have not tried to run it since getting it but engine does rotate and has non-contaminated oil.
The Bad: The passenger side storage is rusted (very common) and the original owner welded on a spare tire mount that has cracked the body right next to it. No seats, the previous owner welded in some seats that were complete junk so I started removing them.
Prefer e-mail. If you want pictures of anything let me know, I have lots of them.
Not looking for trades or willing to entertain low ball offers.”
That’s one of the more unusual hood bumps.
