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 $1500.
Looks rough.
“Stock axles, tranny and transfer case. Previous owner swapped a 225 buick oddfire V6 in it, turns over fine just haven’t had the time to fire it up. I have a new fuel tank to go with it as well as a spare tranny and transfer case and other misc parts. Message me with any questions, thanks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000.
(07/17/2018) The body looks to be a DJ-3A body. I don’t see anything that suggest this was a 1943 MB/GPW.
“I have a 1943 Willys for sale. It is in excellent condition. It has 20,200 miles on it! I have a second set of black Willys wheels with military tires for it as well. Paint is a year old. I have the doors for it. It has the original drivetrain.(Go devil flathead engine, t90 transmission with Warn overdrive!). I have a tow bar for it, so it can be pulled behind a truck or r.v. This is the 18th and most favorite Jeep I’ve owned. I don’t have to sell, but I’m moving in a couple of weeks, so the cash would be helpful in the coming months. This jeep will not disappoint you! I will consider reasonable offers, but please don’t lowball me”
No updates today.
Vernon asked me about doing a Hatari related post. Now, put your coffee down before I say this … ready … I have never seen Hatari. Now that we are past that issue …
I spent some time looking for a way to watch the movie. It turns out there’s a website devoted to helping people find movies on different platforms: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/hatari . In the end, it appears the cheapest way for me to watch it is to rent it through Amazon or head to a local library in search of a copy. In the mean time, the trailer is available via Youtube:
To see some jeep photos, I highly recommend the CJ-3B page’s coverage of the movie. As Derek notes in his article, Jeep claimed there were 43 different jeeps used for the movie, including CJ-6s, FCs, CJ-3BS, Wagons, and Trucks and perhaps a few others?
https://www.cj3b.info/Movie/Hatari.html
The Internet Movie Car Database (https://www.imcdb.org/movie_56059-Hatari!.html) also has some still shots from the movie, including this FC Dually flatbed:
Of course, there are still plenty of Hatari items on eBay:
Hatari Posters and Memorability on eBay, like this Belgian poster:
So, while you all read this post, I’m going to locate a copy of the movie!
Looks in good shape. Front Bumper might be bend slightly upward.

“For Sale: 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A; new military style tires; new vinyl top; new Warn hubs; runs good”
Has some unusual hood vents.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/d/51-willys-jeep/6685166214.html
“51 willys 351 windser, Holley pro-jection. runs good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(08/01/2018) Has a little bit of rust. Has Cutlas Powerlock hubs.
“This Jeep has been in the family since 1950, but it is time to let it go. It is not all original, the windshield is off a CJ3A, the rims are 15s not 16s, the tires are not military tread, converted to 12 volt, and the tire mount is on the tailgate not on the side. The motor though is the original 70 horse go devil motor and as far as I know has been rebuilt once. I think it may need to be done again as it smokes some on occasion.
It has a couple of rust spots and a few dents, but so would you if you were 70 years old! This old jeep just needs some TLC and it will be good to go. I just drive it around town in the summer, probably put less than a hundred miles a year on it but don’t know for sure since the speedometer hasn’t worked for almost 40 years. New head gasket last year and new hoses, belts, etc. Have custom made canvas top and spare tire, but the tire is probably older than me. All negotiations must be in person, thanks.”
Runs and drives.
