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 on eBay.

Looks like a nice truck.
“What I have is a 47 Willy’s Jeep truck, built in Toledo at Willy’s Overland.. It’s a 2wd truck. 1947 was the first year for the truck and the 2wd ended in 50, and they went with all 4wd. units. The drivetrain is all mid 60’s Chevy, sbc v-8, Powerglide(2sp) trans, 10 bolt posi rear end. The frame is original, straight axle, with new king-pins, w/cyl., frt shocks, rear air-shocks, electric fuel pump, electric cooling fan, tires and battery. This truck was originally built in the 70’s and has many “old school” innovations, crank-open sun roof, 8-track AM/FM radio, power antenna, air-shocks, all Stewart Warner gauges, new gray leather bench seat, rear Sleelie wheels w/baby moons, and center dump exhaust manifolds.
This was a frame-off resto, painted frame with new fuel and brake lines. The body is covered in a nice patina nostalgic Lacquer paint, not a spot of rust.! The front end, hood, grille, fenders are all welded together and filled to form a sweet “tilt frt end”. The rear bed is a thick white oak, and the bed rails are rough sawn red oak. The tail-lights are 73 Vega. This is a “one of a kind” unique truck, 1st year build, 2wd., fun smooth driver, get’s a lot of attention at shows. Truck needs very little to be totally done. A must see if sounds interesting ! Asking $9,000 obo. Check the pics, more if requested. Just putting this out there, have another interest in mind. Thanks, John.”

(06/17/2014) Nice looking truck.
“For sale is my 1956 willys overland pickup. The truck was given a restoration in 2004 and started life as a ranch vehicle in Wyoming. I have all sorts of documentation to include research and build with original manufacture Manuel’s and repair Manuel’s.
Original engine was replaced Chevrolet I-6 in the 60’s. Vehicle displays 96,000mi. New chroming was done in 2005, as well as color matched bed liner sprayed inside cab; bed; and fender wells. Fuel tank; mechanical pump; sending unit; and fuel filter were replaced in 2011. During that time I also added an eclectic fuel pump to supplement the mechanical (for priming system). Brake service was completed late 2013. Vehicle runs/drives great, I just do t have the time to use it like it should be and between kids and other toys it’s gone on the back burner and doesn’t deserve to be there. This is a very rare truck and I challenge you to find one with this much care for this price. My loss is your gain.
There may be some value here.
“Up for sale is a true barn find Willys! 1950s CJ 3B. Think it has the bigger L head engine but not positive. It is very rusty & has no title. I have no papers of any kind. A friend of mine found it in a barn in upstate NY while picking. He said they hooked a battery to it and it cranked but they did not try to start it not knowing the condition of the oil. I can verify the motor turns freely & is not seized. It’s the original 6 volt system which I don’t have a battery for. It’s all complete including the rare/custom half cab hard top with doors. The one door is off but should be an easy fix. Has a cool in cab heater. Original drivetrain including twin stick transfer case. It rolls fine once the tires are filled up. They have been holding air for 2 weeks now. Great for parts or restoration. Call or text Jim if our serious. Delivery may be possible for a fee if you don’t have a tuck & trailer once paid for. Rusty & crusty but original & complete Willys!! Complete with the bull dog hood emblem!! $1500 obo. Cash talks come get it!!”

(10/21/2014) Looks like a good price.
UPDATE: Was $9500. **SOLD**
(07/22/2013) This looks good.
“Totally restored 1950 Jeep CJ-2 I need room in my garage so I want to sell it. Asking $9,500 I have $12,000 into it. but i have had my fun with it so time to move on.
1,500 mile since the complete restoration.”
Looks good, but needs a battery at the very least.
“Restored M38A1 1955 Willys M38A1. Has been sitting on jacks in garage for about 20 years. Selling as is. Was driven frequently for a short period until it was finally parked. Probably just needs a new battery, gas and oil. Clear title.”

How about that passenger heater!
“Barn Find, very original, needs a full restoration. Engine runs great, was replaced in 81, has brakes, shifts well, clutch good etc. Has some rust in the passenger floor, the wiring is scary, needs a complete restoration. The hard top and doors on this rig are probably worth as much as the Jeep, in amazing condition. Clear title, cash talks, I can trailer it to you if you live within a reasonable distance for the cost of fuel.”
