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 .
“This was a project of mine and started fixing her up but lost interest due to other projects and space. It runs and drives but the engine started knocking after I initially changed the engine oil. Its either a push rod or even a rod pin could be bad. The oil was like tar when I drained it. I have already redone the entire cooling system including Radiator refurbished and new water pump and hoses along with a new Fuel Pump. Frame is Solid and Drivetrain is excellent. I am firm on price as that is what I have invested. Not in a rush to sell it, so please understand what firm means. Its the OG Green color. Located in Corunna, MI.. Clean Title”
“1942 willys for sale was a project, has 383 stroker, 700r4 trans and np203 transfercase. Ford 9inch rear axle cut to fit with custom shafts. Has Dana 30 up front, rear axle has been moved back to fit drive train. Has everything to put together except for radiator, fuel tank rear drive shaft and brake assembly. This is a project that I lost interest in and could use the money for other things. Asking 1500$ firm trades possible if it’s somthing worth it.”
Doesn’t run, but looks like a good restoration project.

“I have a 1946 Willy jeep for sale. This truck runs and drives great, but has no breaks. It has a standard four cylinder. The jeep is absolutely cool for anyone into old cars OR military memorabilia, being the jeep was most likely used in world war 2 looking at it’s year made. ”
Colter, Karson, Ann and I having some fun at the Hurricane Ridge Visitors Center in Olympic National Park. The elevation is 5,200 feet.
The holidays are officially over for us. My boys flew home to Salt Lake and we drove back to Pasco. Ann’s got her VA doc appointments lined up for January, while I’ve got to hit the writing hard to complete some of the sections I avoided last month. Well, to be honest I managed to write only two days all of last month — too many things were happening. On the plus site my ‘editor’ aunt is enjoying the first draft of the book immensely. So, it shows promise!
One of those things (besides the boy’s visit) that kept me too busy to write was our last trip of the year, a trip to the end of the world, or more accurately to the farthest northwestern point on the contiguous United States: the end of the Cape Flattery trail. As I write this my wife and are debating if the claim is truly accurate or not, but rest assured it felt like the end of the world! (See Wikipedia’s list of extreme US points)
A map of our late December two-day trip from Renton to Cape Flattery and back.
The idea for the trip began with Karson. Prior to their arrival last week, he asked if we could take a trip to Olympic National Park during their visit. I thought that sounded like a great idea since neither I nor Ann had been in the area since the late 1980s.
On Monday we drove to the ferry in downtown Seattle, crossed to Bainbridge Island, then drove north and west until we reached Cape Flattery. We were in a hurry, as the drive took about six hours and the sun was supposed to set at 4:30pm. We arrived at the cape around 3PM, with just enough time to hike the Cape Flattery Trail to a lookout point over the Pacific Ocean. It was cold, but fortunately not too windy. Eventually, the sun dropped far enough that the we had to return to the car. By the time we reached our motel in Port Angeles it was very dark.
The obligatory selfie at the ferry dock.

Nashville Willys Dealer Neely B. Coble launched a demonstration series to show just what jeeps were capable of doing. This June 1955 article highlights his effort.
Dave shared this photo of a jeep-grille table he spotted at a lighting store in Minneapolis. As you can see in the photo, the table is built from pipe. He notes it is about 12″ wide and priced at $999. The table is designed to go along a wall or behind a sofa. The Harley tank takes up most of the width. The black piece behind the table is not part of it.
