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: **Status Unknown** Was $20,000
Here’s an early GPW.
“WWII 1942 GPW jeep Ford Script. #10100 frame, engine and data plate all matching number. Replacement body but original body with it. Many original “F” marked parts. Meticulously restored by master builder and parade ready. This was the owner’s “keeper jeep” before he passed away. Has gun mount and clear Florida title. More photos on request.”
At #10595, seems like an fairly early Jeepster.
“Here is a Willys Jeepster I bought recently. Flat head 4 cyl, 3 speed with overdrive, 98K miles. I’m really more into early Ford Broncos, so I’ve decided to sell the Jeepster. This is the second one I’ve owned. She is a good driver. There is some rust in the floors and rockers, I have new in the box floor pans and rocker panels if you’re wanting to restore. Plus some other extra parts including an aluminum radiator. Personally, I would enjoy it the way it is. She also has 5 new tires.
I installed a new clutch last week and bought a new 6 volt battery. She runs, drives and stops as a ’49 Willys should. I have the front and rear side curtains. The top frame is complete and in good condition, but needs a new skin. This is the only Jeepster online below $10,000.00. If you come see it, you’ll buy it!! Tennessee title in my name.”

Ted shared this eBay auction. It’s a beautiful jeep. It is missing the bow holders on the driver’s side and the spare tire mounted on the passenger side, but those are minor quibbles.

“This Willys is a Cj2a that has been completely restored from ground up.With the motor being all standard it has not been run much. I Ordered a new steel body mostly for the rust issues under the tool box and hat channel.By the time I replaced the channel and floor I was getting up in labor and cost.
I completely disassembled it and started with the frame and worked my way up. The list that follows of new parts installed to make it drive on the highway and be safe to operate. I upgraded the brakes, from 9″ to 11″” self adjusting; And new dual master cylinder. Converted it to a single wire Alternator to get the 12v needed for modern lights and all new cloth wiring.Rebuilt the steering box with new sector shaft, and the jeep does not wander going down the road. All steering is tight.I replaced most all the bolts.The list of parts is long and I did not cut corners on the restore.

Appears to have a plow, too. Seller calls the top a Tuxedo Top, but that’s a Meyer hardtop.
“I have a 1965 jeep CJ5 Kaiser Willys my dad bought new in 1966, also have a 1966 CJ5 for parts. The 65 has the original hurricane 4 motor that runs good, transmission and transfer case is good as are the axles, steering etc. Make no mistake it will need to be restored but everything to do so is here, the tuxedo top had been restored and ready to paint. Will take best offer over $1800. Call or text only, I will not email”
It has an aftermarket 3B tub on a custom frame.
“Willys 3B Jeep with a custom boxed frame. The jeep has a hard top with the hard doors. There is a Chevy 350 mounted on the new custom frame as well. The tub is the remanufactured heavy duty metal tub. New hood, fenders, nice grill, tailgate, custom steel bumpers with heavy duty tongue. This is an unbelievable project, it just needs someone to finish it up. New disk brakes, hubs have been rebuilt, fluids changed in the axles. The pictures in this ad were taken prior to having a custom boxed steel frame made to handle the 350 engine. Too many new parts to mention!!!!! Make me a reasonable offer! Will consider trades such as equipment, tools, tractors, lulls, skid steer, trucks, diesels, trailers, lumber, center console boats, inboard boats. I am open to trade up with cash.”
