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 .
There looks like value here. That’s just like one of my seats, but it has the original cover on it.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(07/05/2013) This needs a wiring harness.
“This is a 1948 Willy’s CJ2A Flat Fender 4×4 Jeep. It looks like it was fully restored in the late 80’s. NO RUST!!! It has a Chevy 350ci Carbureted Engine out of a 70’s Chevy C10 truck transplanted in place of the anemic 4 cylinder these originally came with. The frame has been fully boxed in order to support this HP increase. The motor runs perfect! It has the original Borg-Warner T90 3-Speed Transmission and the original Dana Spicer Model 18 Transfer Case. It also has fairly new wheels and tires, long tube headers, soft doors, aftermarket bucket seats, Pontiac tilt steering column, Warn manual locking front hubs, and dual gas tanks.
For a 65 year old Jeep it is in awesome condition. These old Willy’s are getting extremely hard to find and will continue to increase in value. I bought this as a project and have completely removed the wiring harness. This would make a great father/son project. I am not in a hurry to sell and the price is firm. The only reason I am selling it is because I don’t currently have enough time to work on it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250
(08/09/2012) Here’s a rare project Surrey.
“1964 Jeep Surrey Gala(DJ3A) 2 wheel drive version of the CJ3. Unique model, not very many made. Has the 134CI flathead that runs pretty good. This model has the 3 speed stick shift on the column instead of the floor. This Jeep has already been soda blasted and is ready for restoration. Would be a good father/son project.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/24/2012) This is a former railroad FC.
“Rare Jeep FC 170, Runs great must see to believe. 6 cylinder, 3 speed 4×4
Open to reasonable offers. Will take possible trades and cash.
LOOKING FOR A 1965 or 1969 GTO project car.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
(07/14/2013) I *think* these are both for $1000.

One jeep is a cj3b”
I’m taking the sunday off. We had a long, but beautiful drive Friday. We found jeeps, great food, and beautiful scenery. If you ever have the time, I highly recommend the trip from Randle to Trout Lake and Beyond.
Below, I’m learning about the finer points of barbed wire. Yes, those are all different strands of barbed wire. A complete report (and more jeeps) tomorrow.
UPDATE: Steve noted that we passed Trout Lake, not Troutdale. Given our successful drive, I can verify his correction 🙂
Ann and I are traveling to Seattle today, but instead of taking our usual route over Snoqualmie Pass, we decided to do some exploring while the weather is nice.
So, we plan to go along the southern area of the state through some towns (Bickleton, Glenwood, and Troutdale) where neither of us has explored. From Troutdale we plan take forest road 23, which winds through the Cascade Mountains, to Randle. We thought this would be a good opportunity to explore the area for future camping trips.
To give some perspective, normally it is a three hour, 173 mile, trip from Pasco to Randle. Given we’ll be stopping, driving slowly, etc, we be much longer.
Here’s our expected path. The dotted lines from Bickleton, where there is a carousel museum of some kind, indicates a cutoff we hope to make to Highway 97 and Satus Pass. There we want to have lunch at St. Johns Bakery. It’s a well regarded food stop in the middle of nowhere that’s part of the St. John Monastery.
I’ll report on Saturday night if we made it (or not report if we didn’t make it out . . . lol)
Here’s a 1954 ad that features a couple of Willys vehicles.

UPDATE: **SOLD**. These were listed at $2500.
“For sale two 1942 ? GPW ford WW2 jeeps .I was going to part out both Jeeps as they are loaded with original F marked parts ,but in my opinion both rolling frames are way to nice to be parted out and a great start to someone restoring a WW2 Ford in need of an original rolling frame or original tub. The first frame is in excellent original condition with lots of original paint and correct running gear . Frame id number is GPW101852. Machine gun mount ,original springs ,rear pintle hook and bumper gussets all there.
The second frame is also very respectable for its age with lots of original paint in tact . There is one area in need of repair in back of rear drivers side spring ,which was a common problem area on these jeeps. Can easily be repaired. ID number on this frame isGPW69089 with a star after the last number.
Both tubs are there but in need of replacement floor panels and some work . I have definitely seen much worse brought back to life. On the greenish looking tub there is an excellent pair of original F marked fenders and hood ,along with a decent drivers and passenger seat frame. There is also a rear seat frame that is rough at best .The Blueish tub is about the same with original fenders not as nice, but a very decent hood. There are no grilles included ,no body tags ,and widshields are rough. also no gauges. There is also one correct T84 transmission – transfer case with e brake assembly included ,and one good running motor .It has a GPW stamped head but not sure if its just the head or a military motor. No carb. Basically what you see in pictures is what you are getting and anything else I can find related.
$2500 for all of it.”
