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 .
Marty spotted this unusual winch designed to bolt on the back of a CJ-5.

“I am selling a hunting apparatus/table that bolts onto the back of your Jeep CJ. It is a table setup with over 200 frt of rope on a crank so you extract your game out of tough areas. It’s high quality and heavy duty.”
It’s a custom project.

Travis spotted this project.

“This jeep is fresh from storage and will make a great summer project. It was last registered in 1987, I have owned it for several years and never got around to repairing it to its former glory. The frame is in really good condition. The body is starting to show its age so it has some rust patches, if you know these Jeeps you know that they were originally mounted with wood therefore the metal around the wood rusted from the moisture. I think the original color was red, but when I got it it had been painted blue. It was sold to me on bill of sale only. It is missing the engine. But it has the transmission and both axles.”
Chris spotted this one. It includes a great data plate.

“Ben-Hur trailer civilian version of jeep trailer appears to 1946 model fair condition $600 obo”
I spotted this CJ-3A the other day. I didn’t ask about the price. I *think* it had an l-head if I remember correctly. It does have the serial number tag. I was in the middle of taking pics when a guy came up and asked me questions about it, which distracted me.
The grille is bent .. not sure how well the lights would work.

“1947 Willy’s cj2a – clean title 289 or 302
yes there’s a v8 in this little Betty. still has the 3 speed and transfer case. So here’s the back story on this piece of American history. In 1990 it was a running machine. Then the body was taken off the frame – both were stored in a shed until a year ago, while it sat the aftermarket gas tank, gauges, starter and steering column went missing. The motor turns over by hand. This is a project. like I said it’s been sitting since 1990. I’m asking 1600 open to offers or trades.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** “Was $2300.
(03/02/2018) Bill shared this ad. There’s no sign of the extra gauges, so I can’t tell if this was an APU jeep or if the hood was appropriated from an APU jeep.
“1951 Willys Jeep Body Type VA Flat fenders is not running fly wheel is broke. Owner says it has new tires, rims, brakes, seat.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/07/2018) If this includes the winch there may be value here.

Includes a hardtop.
“For sale 1954 Willys CJ3B jeep. This jeep is in very good condition for it’s age and is all original.”
I’m in Salt Lake for a couple days, spending time with my kids. Karson took me mountain biking on Antelope island, which sits in the Great Salt Lake. He managed not to kill this semi-out-of-shape old man. But, it’s clear he is in better shape than I. Here are a few photos.
Ready to ride
Yep, we’ve been riding uphill for quite a while … yep, those are bison ahead. I am too tired to outrun them at this point. My hope was that they would take pity on me and not chase me down.
We made it to the top of a hill. That’s the Wasatch Front in the background. Most of the rest of the trip was downhill.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700.
Thanks to Bryan for spotting this one
“Rare barn find 1963 jeep cabover.”
UPDATE: I ran this post back in 2010. I think it’s time for a repost.
If this commercial played on TV, I must have missed it.
On a tangential note (and a completely skippable one), one of the shots in the movie appears to show Jane Goodall with some chimpanzees. My tech company did a co-project with her and ESRI (the Microsoft of mapping software) for an ESRI event in San Diego. Long story short, we had a party after the event and rented a sushi restaurant. It turns out .. well … let’s just say she’s not a fan of eating fish (she’s a serious vegetarian I believe). OOOPPPSS! I’m not all that sure she really likes people either, but perhaps it was an off day for her (though I ended up sneaking her out of the back of the restaurant; but that’s another story). So, the tip of the day is, if you invite Jane to dinner, don’t serve Sushi!
Anyway, enjoy the video:
