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: Still Available.

“1946 Willy’s Jeep. Mostly stock, has L-134 engine serial number indicates a Willy’s factory remanufacture. Buckshot bias ply non-directional tires 99%, perfect tires for the Jeep. Tons of traction, look old school. Pictures make the Jeep look amazing, in all fairness it is not. Has rust in the usual spots, hat channels and tool box. Tons of new parts, shouldn’t need much to keep puttering around. Price is the price, otherwise will keep. Includes spare running take out motor, transmission and transfer case (both would need a rebuild). Spare axles what not. Also, optional- M416 military trailer with almost no rust, needs tires and paint. Would include with the Jeep for $700. Must sell Jeep before separating any items, thanks.”
Not updates today. Updates will resume on Sunday.
This 1955 Willys News includes a center article on the use of Jeeps in case of atom bombs.
I’m not entirely sure what this ad from the September 1955 issue of Fire Engineering is advertising, but the jeep looks pretty interesting. You can find an archived issue of the magazine online (though you’ll need to pay to access the info).

MEASURES ABOUT 6.5 X 8.5 INCHES.
THIS ORIGINAL ITEM WOULD BE NICE TO FRAME

Seems a reasonable price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
Looks in good shape. It’s missing the grille parking lights and front bumper.
“Frame up restoration. The jeep was purchased by my brother in 1968. I started the frame up restoration in 2009 and was driving it in 2014. Frame powder coated and rebuilt motor, transmission/transfer case, brakes, steering. New front axles, radiator, springs, shocks, steering wheel, tires and others. I have records for $16,000+ out of pocket. Some minor cosmetics remain to be completed.
We are downsizing from our 9 acre home and shop and must sell … The Jeep is a real classic at a bargain price.”
Looks like it has had some body work. Includes a Sears Bradley trailer.

“L-134 Go Devil motor. Model 100 Koenig PTO winch, Sears aluminum full cab. General David Bradley Ben Hur type trailer. Jeep drives good. Clutch, brakes, transmission and 4 wheel drive all work as they should. All gauges, heater, lights, blinkers, wind shield wipers work. Motor has a miss at idle. Hate to sell but need to buy a house. $6,500”
The seller has some other parts, including a running f-head and tranny.
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/pts/d/agoura-hills-jeep-cj5-hardtop/7065509098.html
“Original hardtop AND doors from a 1963 Willy’s CJ5. I believe it will fit any older CJ5. Original white paint. No rust other than light surface corrosion where paint has been dinged. A small dent in passengers side rear corner.
Pictures of doors will be supplied for serious buyer. They are in the garage rafters and I will have to dig them out.
If you happen to be doing a restoration of a CJ5 and need a motor and tranny I will have the excellent running original F134 motor along with 3 speed transmission available in the near future and would make a great package deal for everything. Motor is 100% Complete and is running still in the vehicle. We could drive it to show how well it runs. It would also come with a brand new radiator, hoses, air cleaner etc.”
