About eWillys
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.
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 .
“I have for sale a home built street legal buggy thing that looks like an old military willys jeep. It has a FULL drivetrain, suspension, engine, transmission, dash, heater and electronics out of a 1978 Subaru brat! Does not run currently (I got it that way)! I was going to get it going but I’ve moved on to something else. It will need to be trailered or delivered for the right price. It’s all there and the top is in great shape! Engine turns over smooth by hand but that’s as far as I got with it. It does have a clean wa title and yes it s street legal!”
(06/10/2015) Seller has a Gladiator camper for sale.
“Selling this cj2a from Arizona. Body is solid but hat channels need attention. Has original drivetrain engine will run pouring gas in carb. Has five new military tires and tow bar.”

“1942 ford GPW, no rust, straight body, fenders, hood, grill, windshield, straight frame with original axles. No engine, tranny or transfer case. Awesome project.”
“These wheels are left over from my Jeep CJ when I used to run paddles, 15×15 5×5.5 bolt pattern. Should work on Fords, Bronco, CJ Jeeps and others ect. Located near Jackrabbit and Elliot, if the add is up its still available.”
I don’t know how well it will clean up, but it’s a neat vintage top.
“Older Jeep top in good condition. No cuts or tears and plastic windows are solid and clear. The canvas could be cleaned and/or even dyed for better appearance. Looks like it might fit a CJ2, CJ3, CJ3B, or possibly and M38, but not really certain which model it might fit. Fasteners are a little aged but still work. Very serviceable.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $3000. It’s been recently painted.
(02/07/2015) Still needs some work.
“1953 Willys CJ3B, rare / unique High Hood model jeep. Body is very good. Frame is very good. On road / off road hobby project. Don’t call expecting perfection, this is a work in progress. Have completed lot’s of work to it. 302 V-8 engine runs, & sounds good.
Three speed transmission, dual exhaust, headers. Lock-out hubs. Tires are not good, but nice aluminum rims. Have been completing shade-tree bodywork and paint. Military OD green at this point, looks good from 10′.
Overall, jeep needs little more TLC. No top, no doors. ( Period gas can and gas can holder can be purchased separately for $125.00). (Period Army footlocker for tool storage in back, can be purchased separately for $65.00). (9,500 lb. winch with wired remote can be purchased separately for $500.00).
New parts: brake shoes, wheel cylinders, some brake lines, thermostat, headlights,Optima Red Top battery, manual choke, Reese hitch receiver.
Racing seats installed. Rhino liner applied to interior. Floorboards cut out and replaced.
Buyer could take the jeep body off and replace it with an early Bronco body, which would probably double it’s value, then sell the jeep body or put it on a jeep frame / drive-train..”
For five days in July of 1961, then-Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, Canyonland-legend Kent Frost, and a posse of government folks toured the Caynyonlands area by jeep, boat and helicopter. The huge tour was Udall’s idea, which probably explains why National Geographic was invited on the trip. Udall’s efforts paid off with Utah Democratic Senator Frank Moss proposing Canyonlands National Park (learn more here). The bill was signed on September 12, 1964. What an amazing trip that must have been.
The National Geographic published the story in the May 1962 issue under the title, Cities of Stone in Utah’s Canyonland. The magazine only published one jeep photo, but they did include a map with tiny jeeps showing the route taken.
