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 .

Lots of photos on eBay. This looks good from a distance, but the close up photos show it’s not so nice as it first appears. Along the front there are bubbles underneath the paint for example. The windshield wipers could use polish (for the price they are asking).
I’ve included part of the text of the ad, because there’s a lot and it’s a bit over the top. For example, “As we climb into the cab of this cumbersome conundrum, we quickly realize that the restoration wasn’t just an exterior one. Sliding into the newly restored leather seats is a pleasant experience, as your eyes can’t help but take in the view across the span of this giant windshield. Of course the lack-of-hood also helps increase your viewing experience, and also makes maneuvering this rig just a little easier (mind you, we’re test driving down one of the busiest streets in Chicago..). Grip the oversized steering wheel, wiggle the 3 speed gear shifter to make sure she’s in neutral, and take stock of this wonderfully done interior! So basic and raw, yet something about it makes you feel like a kid on Chirstmas, trying to wipe that goofy grin off your face for a good 5 minutes before you realize it’s actually yours to play with.”
“I have a ford 1942 ford GPW jeep (like a willies) runs and drives, not original motor, but it is the same. body and frame numbers match, I have decided I do not want to spend the time to restore this jeep. If you are interested text me an offer. All gears work, 4×4 works, lights work.”
“I’m selling my 1955 Willys. I am the third owner, I bought the Jeep from a relative of the original owner. It runs and drives well, although it is made for the trail, not the highway. Car is in good condition except for a few spots of minor rust and some dings and dents, which are expected for a 60 year old car. Car is a 3-speed manual with a modest 4cyl motor. Car has a soft top with doors and also a roll bar. Only reason I’m selling it is because I have too many cars now and I’ve ran out of space on my driveway.”
“This is a really cool machine. 1951 willy’s panel nearly done just needs a little imagination needs interior and a few things. done is mustang II front power disc brakes ford rear brakes work .good running 350/ 350 needs some glass and finishing can use for advertising your business.

Looks like the bed has been replaced with diamond plate.
“1956 Willys Pickup. 350 Motor. Fun truck and perfect project to get finished up and driving. I bought the truck with the intent for a project and a recent job change keeps more of my time than I’d imagined it would. The truck will start but it needs the transmission and brakes need to be hooked up in order to be driven. $5,500 O.B.O. You don’t see a lot of these trucks now a days and this would be the perfect project. Clean title in my name. ”
“I have 2 willy’s pickups for sale. The 1952 has engine and transmission, starter just rebuilt and new battery. The 1949 has just the body and parts of an engine. These are in good condition. Buyer must buy both. There also is a cab of another willy’s pickup and other parts. All goes for $2500 firm.”
