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 .
This has a variety of fixes.

“Good condition with original drive train. Runs great. Also have a matching trailer for $2000”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $30,000.
Seems like a solid truck in good shape. Price is aggressive. Has some mods.
“1951 Willys Pickup with original factory dump bed. California truck, no rust. 4 cylinder F head 134. Original tires and wheels 700-16. Winner at two local car shows for “best truck.” Mileage number reflects miles on the rebuilt engine. Engine was rebuilt about 30 years ago. Really nice shape for its age. I’ve got too many things with engines, too many projects and the Willys has got to go. Enjoy the pictures and give me a call if you’re interested. The truck is located in Yuba City, CA but I’m willing to consider delivering it to about anywhere. I’ve got a flatbed trailer and a 3500 Dodge so if you want it I can probably deliver it to you.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/04/2019) Lots of rust. The half cab is unusual. It’s got suicide doors, too.

“Rough little 47 Willy’s
With title
See pics for details
It’s rough but it’s a Willy’s with paperwork
So possibilities are endless”
I suspect someone priced this based on the KBB.

“Very good condition.
A number of items replaced:
Gas tank, carburetor, fuel pump, starter.

It sat in a barn for 13 years.
It was the first civilian Jeep made after World War II.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/24/2019) It’s rough. It May have a Kelly half-cab.

“1959 CJ six. This is not a CJ5 as it has a longer wheelbase. You must buy the entire jeep for parts. Includes everything you see in the pictures. Body is very rusty. Frame seems OK. Transfer case and transmission seem OK. Original steel rims. Engine is taken apart. Radiator and original gas tank is there. All for 600 bucks. No title. Parts only.”
Florida’s Tampa Bay Times published an article about local mobile businesses a couple weeks ago. One of those businesses included a beautiful 1964 FJ-3A ice cream truck, run by Carlos Velez: The Clara Rose Ice Cream Truck.
Before he opened his business, Carlos worked as a Sheriff’s deputy at a maximum security jail. Wanting a change of life, he decided to open an ice cream business, but one that was of a better quality than the standard ice cream distributors. That led him to search for an FJ. He found the perfect one and it’s a beautiful rig as you can see below.
Learn more about his FJ in the article: https://www.tampabay.com/arts-entertainment/fun/shopping/2019/10/22/9-mobile-businesses-wheeling-around-tampa-bay/
There’s a proposal to create a national registry for unique or historically significant vehicles (and boats and planes) with documented stories. Importantly, such a registry would not keep the owners of such vehicles from being sold, driven or even modified. The Library of Congress would be the keeper of the documents, specs, photos, and other information.
If the national registry becomes a law, twenty-six vehicles already listed by the Historic Vehicle Association (HVA) would be the first vehicles added to the registry. Two of the vehicles are jeeps: The Ford Pygmy (currently at the U.S. Veteran’s Museum in Huntsville, Alabama) and Ronald Reagan’s 1962 CJ-6 (along with one of my personal favorites, the Tucker prototype).
This appears worth a look. The hubs seem to be Cutlas Powerlocks.

“1948 Jeep
CJ2A
Good condition
$4000”
Neither the hood nor the tailgate have a Willys script, so the tub seems to be newer than 1960. The top appears to be for a CJ-5. Not that the steps have been modified and the drain hole removed.

“1960 Willys Jeep CJ3B
Runs and Drives
Has overhead Valve original engine and running gear
Needs Master Cylinder
Jeep is complete
Has aftermarket Cab (maybe Sears)”
Body has some rust and at least one floor patch. I haven’t seen the front loop of a roll cage attach to a dash with just one bolt on each side like this one.

“1962 Willys Jeep CJ5 Dept. of Agriculture Forest Service Brush Truck 6. I do not have documented proof that this was an original fire Jeep but if it wasn’t someone went thru a lot of trouble to make it one. Starts, runs, stops and drives well. Prior to my ownership it appears to have been re-wired and a new generator was installed.
