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 .
This runs and drives, but needs brakes. TJ spotted it.

“1956 Willy’s cj5 Runs and drives Does not have brakes Clean title on non op Lots of new parts Has some rust but no to bad Great ranch jeep I have a video of it running if wanted 3200 obo or trades”
I thought the front bumper on this was particularly unusual. Purpose built?

“I have a set of four old school mag wheels from an old Willy’s jeep. They are in pretty good shape. 5on 5.5, with large center hole to clear the hub. I believe they’re 15”x 10” What you see is what you get.”
TJ found this nice looking L-161 for sale. Though it is picture with a tranny, tc, and OD, it sounds like only the bell housing goes with the engine.

“Running L-161 flathead engine. I believe it’s from a 1951 Jeepster. It has been reliable, runs well and doesn’t smoke. It’s bolted to a T90 and that bell housing will go with the engine. I will be keeping the starter and alternator, but everything else goes with it. The exhaust manifold has either been modified or repaired at the pipe flange, I can’t tell what the purpose was, but it bolts up to my CJ2a. It’s still in the Jeep and I can show it running. I’ll pull it when I have a buyer. $900 obo or trade for a running L134.”
Unclear if it runs or not. Only the one pic provided.

“1955 Willys CJ5 This car has tons of life left in it for countless more miles on the road, it’s not perfect but it’s a solid start with a little work could be back cruising in no time. I’ve had it for years loved it along the way but ready to get into some different projects and focus on one rather than being spread between several project cars. Hard top Bikini top 4×4 Has removable back seat”
UPDATE: Still Available.

“I have 2 jeeps and 1 Datsun pickup were were going to use in a restore project. We have switched directions, and no longer going to complete that project. $2500. You haul. Located in Potomac.”
Sadly, I lost this auction, mostly because I was busy with Ann’s newest raised bed garden (almost finished). Anyway, it appears a bidding war boosted this rare issue to $40 and change. Thankfully, the seller published photos of all the pages.
This issue contains a little mini brochure in the middle titled “Used Car Salesbuilder, a Common Sense Review”, which might have been related to the 1950 ongoing “Willys Makes Sense” ad campaign.
Note the ad for what looks-to-be an Al-toy wagon on the last page.
The price is $99 or Best Offer. Given these include serial numbers, maybe one or more of these vehicles is still around?
