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 $5500.
This appears to be a blend of a 4WD CJ chassis and a DJ-5 body and front clip.
“Hunting vehicle.
Jeep.
Late 1950’s modified army jeep.
Custom metal fabwork.
Runs great.

I tried hard to avoid my wife’s cold (even left in the motorhome for a few days), but I still caught it. So, I’m taking it easy today (Sunday). Just a few updates for Monday.
UPDATE: Heres a photo showing a CJ-3A with a Mobile Drill, before it was branded a “Jeep-A-Drill”:
A page from Dave Antram’s collection.
=============================
Originally posted October 2017: Mobile Drilling, Inc., produced this brochure about their Jeep-A-Drill product. there were there models (100-A, 100-b, 200), two powered by hydraulics and the cheapest one, the 100-A, powered by a hand crank.
UPDATE II: It’s now red and for sale again: http://www.ewillys.com/2022/12/25/1950-modified-cj-3a-celestine-in-10000/
UPDATE: It appears this jeep has been re-themed into a resort vehicle.
This unusual ambulance jeep was shared on Facebook. I’ve tracked down an additional photo that shows it’s got a standard gas inlet on the side, so I think this may have been a CJ-3A.
This vehicle is located in Vincennes, Indiana (still there??). I’d really like some better photos of this. I’ll offer an Alaska Or Rust T-shirt and my everlasting gratitude if someone could get some more pics of this unusual rig.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
At first I thought this might be a Jeep-A-Drill setup, but if it is, it’s a stronger built, later version.
“1960 Willys Jeep Truck, 302 conversion, engine does not run. Original transmission, transfer case & differentials. Purchased new by DOT for core sample boring. Boring rig, bits and pump are on truck. Glass is fair, body is decent shape without large rusted areas. Frame is rusted. Clear Missouri title. Please do not text or email, call only.”
UPDATE: Mike’s updated the price to $5500

I purchased the Willys in January 2013 from the estate of its original owner. The original owner’s primary use was to plow his home and business driveways. My primary use was to plow my camp driveway and to pull a 700-pound Disc Harrow and Cultipacker combination unit to plant food plots for hunting. Because of how well this Willys operates I believe it has very low miles on it. The odometer has less than 16,000 miles but, the estate of the original owner wasn’t in a position to certify the mileage on their title transfer.
To my knowledge everything on this Willys is original except for the new parts I installed, which are:
2013: Front & rear brake cylinders, Pinion oil seal, Ignition switch, Muffler & Tail pipe, Tailgate Chains, Gasket set with oil seals, Rebuilt snow plow hydraulic pump, Suspension overhaul – leaf springs, shock absorbers, shackles, bushings, greaseable pivot eye bolts, & U-bolts.
2014: Roll Bar, Bikini Top, Rebuilt & Reupholster original Seats.
2016: Battery cables, Carburetor Rebuild Kit, 4 new 235/75R15 radial MT mud tires.
The Price includes: Door frames (soft covered doors), Frame for soft top, Myers Snow Plow, and Spare parts.”
Buz shared some photos from yesterday’s 2017 Southeast Willys Jeep Get Together. He estimated there were thirty jeeps in attendance. http://www.southeastwillysjeepgettogether.com
This first pic is actually from Merlin Hansen. It shows Rick Palchoski (Old Jeep Carbs) holding a clinic at the event.
Here are Buz’s photos:
I like this brochure. It includes some nice visuals of the Canfield Wrecker stowed in the back of the truck and jeep.
UPDATE: Still Available.
I suspect this is a 1948 CJ-2A with a 3B fiberglass body. It appears to be a Bobcat body based on the wide rim around the edge. Could be a good price.
“Willys high hood. Fiberglass tub and hood. Steel fenders, grille, and windshield frame. New gunmetal pearl paint. Buick 231 v6 with edelbrock carb and intake manifold. 3 speed transmission. Warn overdrive. Front disc brakes. Aluminum radiator. New seats. Soft with 1 small tear in back. 33’s with a lot of tread. Overall pretty nice rig.”

At least one has a rear PTO.
“1946 CJ2A less engine otherwise complete + original with matching numbers + rear PTO
1946 CJ2A runs with PTO on back of transfer case.
1946 CJ2A rolling chassis”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
This looks like a good price.

Ford and Willys made WW2 Jeeps for the military. All parts were interchangeable. This is a Ford “GPW” chassis and has many Ford “F” script marks on it.
It has been sandblasted, primed and painted. It is clean and straight with no modifications.
The rectangular plate on top of the frame crossmember in front of the rear axle is the machine gun mount. All WW2 Jeeps came equipped with this mount.
I built it as a display to show “The Parts That Make A WW2 Jeep Go”. Many of the parts are numbered, a sign next to the display describes the parts. I also marked some of the “F” script marks with orange paint. It’s currently at a museum in Rexburg.
Use it as a display, as a great start to your WW2 Jeep project or as a replacement for your bent, rusted and modified frame.
The $1750 price is for the rolling chassis only. The engine, transmission and transfer case are not included in this price.
The price including engine, transmission and transfer case is $2500. The transmission and transfer case are Ford GPW, the engine is a later Willys Jeep engine, probably from the late ’40’s to early ’50’s. Engine, trans and transfer do not work and will need to be rebuilt.
No title, bill of sale only.
I can transport as far as Bozeman, Jackson Hole, Ogden or Twin Falls”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9540.
(10/08/2017) Seller indicates it might need a better paint job.
