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 $4400

“Rare model. Only 50,172 made from 1955 to 1975. It has a 20 inch longer wheel base than the cj5. Original Dauntless 225 v6 Buick Fireball manufactured by Kaiser.

Extra windshield with motor and misc moldings.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3300.
(09/24/2014) Seller says this ‘will’ go fast. Unclear if it currently goes fast.
“1949 jeep willy– must see!! It will go fast! A very nice project, no rust, clean title, need to connect the gas tank, front lights, I have many extra parts ( new & original) Again this is a PROJECT.. ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS! Also you will need a trailer to take the jeep… Thank you“
Mosquito abatement departments powered a large number of jeep sales. This June 1955 article highlights the sale of jeeps to the Chicago District’s South Cook County area.
Whether dragging wood or ferrying kids, this april 1956 article in Willys News reported that jeeps were used in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, no pics were included.
Looks like a comfortable place to sleep to me.

These three jeep models are sold by the same seller. I particularly like the Bushwacker jeep with its Desert Dogs, Hurricane Rims, and Military parts. Quite a mix!

“Very nice Willys Jeep. I inherited my Dad’s 46 Willys so I need to sell this one. It has a tilt steering wheel, stainless steel front bumper, new electric wipers, power steering, good motor, transmission and transfer case, Solex carburetor, custom seats, new wheels and tires, new battery (12 Volt system), new springs and shackles, new wiring and alternator, new Best Top. This jeep is in excellent condition.”

Looks like a great price.
“Right Hand Drive 1972 Jeep DJ5 232cu.in. (3.8L) straight six engine runs strong. New steering gear box, steering dampner, tie rod ends, rebuilt carb. Comes with mail tray, this Jeep is route ready. Any REASONABLE offer will be considered. Serious inquiries only please!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Runs and drives.
“I have a 1983 DJ5 Mail Jeep that I got in trade for sale. It has the 2.5 GM 4cyl automatic 2wd. It is Right Hand Drive. It runs and drives, has decent tires. I have the mail tray but it is not bolted in. This vehicle was being used to deliver mail until about a year ago. Could be used on mail route, farm, made into a cool 4wd or a rat/hot rod. I have read that the 4×4 running gear from a CJ5 is a bolt in and that the frame on the DJ is actually stronger than the CJ frame. I am asking $1500 cash obo. I will negotiate lower price in person and your best deal will be showing me cash. I will consider trades. Call or text only between 7am and 10pm only please. I attached a couple of pictures of what people have done with these.”
