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 .
“The Jeep has been worked on and runs and drives well. Four wheel drive, 4 cylinder Jeep. It does need a little work, the fuel gauge needs to be replaced. A little rust on the body. The Jeep really only needs a little TLC.”
“At some point someone took the 1957 Jeep Willys body from the frame. They cut and extended the body by 13.5 inches right in the middle of the door frame. They sprayed the under body with a rust inhibitor and dropped the body on a late 80’s CJ-7 frame. The AMC straight 6, transmission, axles and etc are all original to the CJ-7 (as far as I know). Registered as a 57 Willys.
I take it out around town twice a month or so. Good BF Good All Terrains on it.
Wanted to tinker with it but don’t have much time or expertise. Now have #2 baby on the way.
A buddy said to start around $4000. Might also be interested in a trade or barter for a different 4×4 I could use as hunting rig, fence work, side by side, 4 wheeler, etc. Let me know!”
Eric noted these are DJ parts. This might interest someone.
“These parts are getting hard to find and were on what was left of are 1940’s Willys jeep. They are not needed for what we have planed so we’ve decided to pass them on. Complete engine and trans and complete front and rear axels, drive shaft, leaf springs and original wheels. This jeep has been sitting for a while so the engine and trans are locked up but we have the cylinders soaking in oil to try and turn it over. They both need rebuilt. If interested let us know at the shop in the OKC brick town area ( Jopac Industries) at (405) 795-4048 or (405) 973-8617 call or text. $400 obo. Thank you for looking.”

Rich spotted this FC with what appears to be a Utility Bed in the Bluray version of the Man of Steel Trailer. I looked through a couple trailers on youtube, without success.
