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: Was $9000. **SOLD**
“Willys Jeepster 1950. Just rebuilt engine, new radiator, new gas tank, runs great! New top. New wiring harness. Interior no cuts, gauges don’t work except speedo and trip. Lights, blinkers work. Needs paint! Tires plenty of tread but are older. Windshield wipers don’t work (cable needs replacing)”
Might make a good run about jeep.

“This is a great running example of a survivor Willys…with a Chevy v6 under the hood it has plenty of power and reliability…all other driveline is either original or rebuilt….climbs like a goat…paint job is what I call a working paint job because there are a few minor spots on the body that can use some attention…all blinkers, head lights, running lights, tail lights and gauges work except the fuel gauge…some of the windows need replacing but flat glass is easy to do…I had full restoration plans for this Willys but my job has slowed down…having said that I am not desperate to sell so please no low ball offers…”
UPDATE: UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This may be a 3A chassis. The body is a big of puzzle. I’m guessing replacement that went along with the non-script hood.
There may be some value here.
“Ford V8 (not sure if its a 289 or 302). Its got everything and was running prior to the trans and transfer case removal. Have most of the drive shafts.
Including the Advanced Adapters Ford v8 to T90 transmission. (full assembly, bell housing, clutch)
What you see is what you get. Have 2 different windshields you can choose. I don’t have a title for the jeep. FYI: Front tire will hold air for a week or so its easy to get on a trailer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**. Was $3500.
There could be value here. Note the WWII reference.
“I have an army jeep from WWII for sale. Used it at my farm house but no longer have the farm so it has been sitting in my yard. Hasn’t been started in over a year. I don’t have time to mess around with it anymore so I am selling it. Asking $3500 Obo.”

(11/12/2014) It’s been in the family for a while.
“It is not a stock motor… I do know it’s a V6. I have the top frame.. Seen in the photos leaning next to the jeep on the right.
The radiator hose is off and the fan is off. It needs a battery and fan belt, radiator hoses. Plus it looks like the passenger side wheel bearing is leaking and needs repaired.
My dad had a mechanic working on it. My dad past away. The mechanic told me he did get it running. I am not able to check it myself.
One side is cracked on the windshield. I am asking $7500. I will accept the best offer I get.
It is located in Oakridge. It is inside out of the weather. It has been kept inside
since my dad got it over 40 years ago.
If you’d like to make an appointment to take a look you can reach me on my cell. I will return your call if you leave a message.”

“1945 Willys MB, ford 4cyl motor out of a 72 ford pinto, original t89 transmission, had it running, driving and stopping in the summer but the gas tank is disconnected at the moment. This Willys is solid but has seen its fair share of work in the past 70 years. Gas tank well and rear fender compartments are rotted everything else is solid. Front and rear bumpers are lally columns. There is NO TITLE and I do not believe it was ever titled it has been on a farm in MA since mid 70s and at a bear camp in Maine prior to that.”
In July 1943 the Ordnance Department released a jeep to the Washington State College (now University) for farm testing. A year later the College produced a bulletin titled “The Jeep as a Farm Truck-Tractor for the Post-War Period.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a copy of that document online. But there’s a hard copy at the WSU library (which is only a couple hours from me). Anyone have copy of that?
In August of 1944 the Spokesman Review published this article based on the information.
This CJ-5 is shown navigating a closed road in 1973.
