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: Still Available.

<– Day 23 – Mon. May 4th: Keeping Austin Weird | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 25 – Wed. May 6th: Beyond San Antonio’s Riverwalk –>
Ann and I at the Alamo
We left Austin today bound for San Antonio. We tried detouring into the historic old town of Gruene, but found it more tourist trap than historic site, so we continued on to San Antonio.
We arrived in San Antonio so early that we had plenty of time to head down to the Alamo and play tourist. The last time Ann was in town was during her basic training. She didn’t remember the Alamo grounds as being so lush nor could she remember seeing so much tourist -based entertainment (wax museums, Ripleys, etc). I was expecting the Alamo to have a much more sacred feel, but it’s set up to run LOTS of people through it.
As you can see there were no lines while we were there, but it is clear they are ready to handle large crowds.
The back side of the Alamo.
The surprisingly lush gardens within walls. I was expecting a more desert-like area.
Seth spotted this interesting wagon. If anyone can provide any insights into it, we’d find it helpful.
He writes, I found this very rough abandoned Wagon. What made it stand out was the independent front suspension and the barn doors. It looks stock but I have always been under the impression that the Wagoneer Panel Delivery was the first Jeep with IFS. It is obviously a basket case project but if it’s a prototype or something like that it may be worth the effort to restore.
Dan has posted the photos at the Old Willys Forum as well. He suggested it might be a factory special. He noted, Based on the gauges and rear rear wheels, it looks like a 1946-early 1950 Delivery that someone installed an aftermarket IFS (similar to the Mustang II) and cut out the back rear side windows. That said, it could be a factory special.
Hugo forwarded a link announcing Cite de l’Automobile’s July 25 & 26 Vehicles in Uniform event. The museum is in Paris, France. Even if you decide that’s a little far to travel for the weekend, poking around their website is pretty interesting. It looks like they have an amazing collection.

The second photo shows this has reversed front springs. Could be a solid jeep that just needs some restoration.
“for sale 1957 Jeep Willy SX- runs and drives, have clear title”
http://eauclaire.craigslist.org/cto/5008863020.html
This may have good potential for a restoration.
“LOOKS ARE NOT EVERYTHING. This 1958 Model CJ-5 Willys Jeep may not be beautiful to look at, but it runs great. And the price I am asking ($4200), or what I might take for it, is hard to beat. This jeep has its original 4-cylinder engine. It has a removable hard (fiberglass) top that includes removable steel doors and glass side and rear windows. Vehicle always parked within garage or carport. Tires are in good condition; radiator has been replaced and is in good condition; break pads recently replaced; new exhaust system; regularly serviced. I’ve owned this vehicle for many years and it has always started right up, even in the cold winters of eastern Idaho. With the 4-wheel drive high and low gear options, this jeep can climb just about anything and it is licensed for the highway unlike many of the recreational off-road vehicles that cost a lot more. I have a clear and clean title.”

UPDATE: Was $3900. **SOLD**
Runs and drives.
“Selling a 1960 cab over. Starts and drives. Has Super Hurricane six cylinder. These are super rare and this one is in pretty decent shape. The tires have about 100 miles on them, but are weather cracking, not enough to stop from driving. Has rust in the cab corners and floors. A great start to a unique vehicle.”
Looks like the seller will accept an offer.
“Up for sale is a Jeep Willy 1953 M38A1. Well cared for, kept in garage and comes with fitting cover. New tires, tubes, front seat canvas cushions. It has a 4-134 F Head Motor, T-90 Trans, Dana 18 Transfer Case with Warn Overdrive Unit, Dana 25 Front Axle and Dana 44 Rear. You can contact me through Craigslist email if you have any comments or questions about the Jeep. Would like to sell while the weather is just getting nice. Please make a reasonable offer.”
