About eWillys
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.
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 .

Good news! I will be extending eWillys in its current form through the end of 2020.
You might remember that on January 1st of this year I mentioned I was planning on ending or making changes to eWillys in the spring of 2020. I’ve decided to delay any changes until December of 2020.
The principal reason for this is to insure that Ann and I have a smoother transition from life as we know it into our new lives in 2020, should things work out like we believe they will. What this means for you all is that you will accompany Ann and I on these upcoming changes. I know this is all a bit vague, but that’s the way it has to be for now.
“1942 Press Photo Airborne Infantry handling Jeeps via aeroplane, Washington, DC. This is an original press photo. Trucks – United State. Washington, D.C. Members of The Airborne Infantry acquire great skill in handling of “Jeeps” via aeroplane. Here are men of The Airborne Infantry practicing placing a “Jeep” in an aeroplane and removing it. The aeroplane fuselage “Mockup” is exact scale of an actual aeroplane. Sent A and O list Chicago to west coast. Photo measures 8.5 x 6.75 inches. Photo is dated 2-28-1942.”
This CJ-5 has the early 0-10 King Seeley speedometer. I think this has a great, vintage feel to it.
“For sale is my 1955 Willys CJ5 Half Cab. Mostly original.
4 cylinder, manual transmission (3 spd)
4 wheel drive
Tow bar
Tow hitch
Solid sheet metal, no rust through
6V battery system
Fender mounted spare tire
Gas can mount. (no can included)
Runs, drives, and just about everything works except for the speedometer.
Very off road capable. I’ve had this in the hills a number of times. Tight turn radius.
Would make a great hunting vehicle.
If the ad is still up, I have not received cash for it and it is available. Please don’t just email me and ask if “Is this available?” I will not respond.
If you have specific questions, please send me your phone number and I will call you and try to answer them the best that I can.”
“Straight from an island off the coast (now on the mainland) is a 1953 Willy’s Jeep.
Desirable CJ3B model (only manufactured in ‘53 and ‘54.)
Partially restored; body rough, but engine, frame, and drivetrain solid. Many new parts added to frame and motor. Bag of new parts and manual goes with it.”
“This Korean War Era Jeep is in excellent restored condition. One piece windshield. Flat front.
Extensive restoration on the drive-train: seals, bearings, front and rear differentials, transmission, transfer case, brakes and military PTO are all in 1st class condition. Engine runs well. Starter rebuilt.
New canvas top and plastic side windows. New authentic seat covers. No rust on frame or body.
Tool kit. Army repair manual. Additional restoration parts.
The late owner was unable to complete the restoration. However the work is 95%+ complete, and with a few weekends work and the correct unit stencils this classic Jeep is ready to join the 4077th or unit of your choice.”
