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 .
Runs and drives.

There sounds like some value here if the floor replacement was well done.
“1954 CJ3B Willys Jeep Project. Clean title in my name. Sandblasted and painted, rhino lining in floor and bed. Front half of the floor was replaced including the tool box floor and hat channels. Seats are like new. Has Saginaw steering. I have the original front and rear ends, both in good shape, as well as those from a donor CJ7. I have a Dauntless 225 V6 with flywheel that came from a cj5. Started easily, ran good, no smoke , knock or strange noises. Have headers as well as expensive aftermarket motor mounts and expensive aftermarket aluminum radiator with cap and tank for automatic transmission cooling. New signal and tail lights, roll bar, new gas tank with cap, other odds and ends as well as take off parts. No transmission, but comes with a D18 twin stick transfer case. I have a disassembled Warn 8274 winch that needs rebuild kits and motor rebuild or replacement. I also have a Dana Spicer 23 rearend from a GPW.”

“I have my Willys CJ2A Jeep up for sale. Do not have the time or room to complete. You can read the full ad description under the Nashville CraigsList auto for sale. To many new things to list but the jeep starts and runs great. The High/Low and 4 wheel drive work good as well.
See the Nashville ad or call if you have any question. NO TEXT, NO TEXT and NO TEXT”
This ex-DJ-3A convertible was changed to 4×4. It looks to be a 1958ish or later model. Still, There’s at least some value in the parts (There are some DJ-specific parts I could use — bumper, windshield, side mirror, shifting assembly). The hood looks tight, though has a few dings. The tranny cover plates look good. There are some top pieces left.
“Little willys jeep. Motor is free, think it will run. Came factor as a 2 wheel drive an collum shift. Has been converted to a 4×4 front axel an has a 4×4 transmission an transfer case to go with it.”

Craig spotted this one. Given the snowplow, there could be some value here.
“For sale as-is as pictured not running”

Rough for sure!
“This is a parts or if you are ambitious! 1946 cj2a, it is in rough shape but there are lots of good parts. No title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
“This is an original Willys with a clear NJ title. It sits on the original frame but has a mustang II front end done years ago, disc brakes, and a 440 moose with the 727 torque flight trans. The truck is all there and not rotten. It did have work done years ago and shows its age. There are rust spots in the frame and body but the truck runs and drives.
This is a real Willys not a glass car. It has an older resto but still cool. Just looking to see if there’s interest. Not giving it away don’t need to sell it.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

It was a long, but productive day yesterday at the swapmeet. We had the opportunity to speak with a wide variety of people about eWillys and the Alaska Or Rust venture. I was pleasantly surprised at how many people (old, young, men and women) agreed that it was a cool idea. Many folks wish they had their old Willys together so they too could make the run with us. Still others had driven the highway and had lots of suggestions on places to see. It was a great way to spread the news about the trip.
Even better, four of the participants (me, Rob, Marty and Wade) had a chance to all meet at the same time. Somehow, we never got a photo of all of us though. Here’s are a few photos we did get:
Me and Wade (he’s in full beard mode .. I was hearing rumblings that it will be coming off soon????)
Me and Paul Barry of Willys America, who had a booth a few rows down.
Marty Tilford, me and Rob Stafford at the AOR booth. (from Saturday)
My poor attempt to show the crowd size. All the rows were full of shoppers and lookie-loos. Pics are like this are one reason I miss having Ann along (of course, there are many other reasons, too!)
