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 $650.
Could have some drivetrain value.

(07/29/2016) This has full floating rear hubs and a PTO. It runs, but clearly needs work. I’ve been reading through a bunch of late 1960s Four Wheeler magazines and I’ve been surprised to see how popular the rear truck-like bumpers were on southwest 1/4 jeeps.
“Ex military, 95% rust free, nevada title 1965 289 cid ford v8, original lock ohts and pto winch (no brakes) $2,400 will consider part trade have a wall phone and thats all call for details any time, leave a message”

“1947 CJ Sand/Mud Dragster with 9 inch Ford rear with spool. Model 44 Chevy front/narrowed. Ford top-loader transmission. Pro-shifted / 1 3/8″ input shaft. Aluminum / paddle tires. Complete less engine. This is a modified jeep intended for off road use only. Not suitable for street use. Text for current pictures.”
Looks like it has a DJ-3A grille.

This photo from the November 21, 1957, issue of the Spokesman-Review shows Ben Carlin and Half Safe following his trip around the world.
Marty let me know about this unique way of carrying oil and grease.
This Spicer Ad appeared in the July-August 1944 issue of Army Ordnance. Looks like a Slat Grille is coming over the hill at the top of the ad.
UPDATE: Ted got a hold of this a few years ago. No one seems to know who modified or for what purpose. Now he wants to let it go. If interested, email him at willysted@charter.net.
He wrote, “I was lucky enough to a be in the right place at the right time and have some interesting items to trade towards purchasing this really unique Willys body. Not really sure on origin or history on this oddball as it came from a buddy of mine who also didnt have much history on it, but I knew it was really cool and thought it would be the ultimate foundation for a great Yard -plow Jeep.
I thought it would be a great Jeep to have all your tools, torches, jacks, etc etc in to minimize walks back to the garage to get something while working on stuff out in the woods or yard. I was going to start with a good rolling and running 2a frame and make it mechanically sound and mount a Plow or Snow Scoop on front with a rear mounted PTO winch hoisting Boom on back of Jeep for a great little Utility Jeep.
Unfortunately my unfinished projects and Jeeps that need attention have got me forced to part with some of my future projects that Im never gonna have time for. This Body is very unique and definitely deserves to be restored and put to use somewhere. I think with a good rolling and running 2a or 3a frame and some work it would be a great Winter project for someone looking for a cool Willys build. My loss is going to be someones gain.
Make me an offer !!! Email any questions and I will try to help”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
(08/03/2016) Looks like most of the jeep’s history is documented.
