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 $1700.

Includes rubber mat in floor, canvas cover, and two flags with masts that mount on trailer. Bill of Sale. Located in Mooresville, NC. $1700 – Offers considered.

Given the serial number, this appears to have been rebuilt at some point.

“This Jeep has been garage/basement kept at least the last 40 years. Last ran in 1989, stopped using it because the brakes failed, peddle went to the floor, don’t know what’s wrong. Original 4 cylinder engine and transmission. Inspected in 1985. Being sold as is, where is.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $28,000.
This was on eBay back in 2013. I don’t know if it actually sold at that time or not.
“Fully restored with a 283 v8 it has a warn overdrive. It also has a Bimini top and soft top with doors”
I would guess that the price isn’t a serious one. Has Alaska plates.

“Can look as nice as the 1942 Willys seen on the cover of Military Vehicles Magazine February 2018.
If you have the interest this is the project for you!
Parts all original. All new tires.
Runs great, purrs like a kitten. The rest needs some TLC.”
Not sure what’s left here that’s good.

“For sale is a 1954 Willy’s Jeep. It is a project and will need very little to be finished. A fresh small block 350 has been professionally installed along with a lift kit. Dana axles, aluminum radiator, almost everything is included to finish. Very solid, it was a frame off resto.”
The hubs are likely still good. Not sure what else is.

(11/27/2018) Needs some work. I like the tool box/side box on the driver’s side. Looks handy.
“Jeep fc170 1956. With Chevy V8 runs very good. New tires. 4wheel drive works good.3 speed transmission. Needs work on brakes. It is a runner that needs work.”
My family spent the weekend celebrating Dad. Friends and family gathered together on Saturday afternoon to hear my overview of Dad and share stories about him. I think Dad would have enjoyed the laughter and lovely memories shared by all. Here’s the front of Dad’s flyer.
With that final event passed, life should return to normal, at least until mom decides she wants to move.
We don’t foresee many trips this summer, except a few couple-day drives, so I hope to get some good work done. We will also be spending the summer looking around to see where we want to land when we buy a house (assuming everything goes according to plan).
Finally, if anyone has any interest in Rusty, the 1956 DJ-3A that’s been partly restored, drop me an email. I don’t see any way I’ll be getting to Rusty anytime soon (Biscuit will be the first project I tackle once I have a garage again). So, I’d like to find a home where someone can use it. Here’s Rusty’s rebuild thread: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/rusty-dj-3a/?orderby=date&order=ASC&more=1
Photo of Rusty before work was begun.
A regular reader, who I’ll keep anonymous unless he’d like to come forward, thought he’d add a few items to my jeep collection, so he sent me a box with all these items in it. So, I big THANK YOU for the donation.
