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 .
Looks like a nice build.

“53 willys high hood sbc 350/350 ,super t10 4speed, 411 gears lockers front and rear d30 front d44 rear new top and interior to much to list $15000”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Looks like a good cage.
“Full roll cage out of 1946 Jeep CJ2A. No dents, no cracks just not going to use.”
Has a couple patches along the sides. If the rust isn’t too bad, this could be worth a look.

“Up for sale is an original and unaltered 1967 Jeep CJ6. Specs: Dauntless V6, T86 trans, Dana 18 T-case, Dana 44 rear axle with factory power-lock and Dana 27 front axle. Frame is solid, body needs some work, motor did run at one point but it’s missing the carb and radiator which I still have. I do have spare parts to go with the jeep. It’ll need to be towed and I can help loading it with my tractor. An excellent candidate for a complete restoration project. $2500 or best offer, cash ONLY!”
For the right person, this may be worth a look.

“Pretty decent sears top for sale. Going a different route. Come and get it”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/24/2020) Given the sears halftop, there could be some value here if the engine fires.

“6 willys to choose from. Let’s try this again…..
1. Red fc150 $2500 frame cleaned and painted years ago still in nice shape brake lines were done at that time it’s complete will run with a little tlc:
2. Other fc150 not complete should be enough here to put it together but cab is rough no paper $1500
3. Green/camo no top cj2 $500 has paper motor rebuilt years ago will run with some tlc
4. M38 with top and plow $750 has paper motor seized:
Tom pointed out something I didn’t know. Some M-38s have patches along the top of the rear of the M-38 body over both rear vertical seams. This was a technical recommendation was the result of a problem caused by the weight of arctic tops, leading to the separation of the rear body seams.
Below are two unpatched examples:
This example shows the crude patch example:
This tub looks to have been patched on both sides:
UPDATE: View the Miss Gotham winner here. Advertisements for the summer of 1960 Miss Gotham contest also appeared in newspapers. I also have learned who won the Surrey, but I need to scan the info still.
