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 .
No title and all apart. I see nothing to suggest a ’41. I like the rims.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Walter spotted this. Unclear how much value his here, but there appears to be some.
‘I have a 1947 Willys pickup, original, lacking tailgate, no title, and a 1977 J10 pickup with title, 6 cyl, 4 spd, 4.10 axles. I had planned on putting the Willys body on the J10 frame, and using that title, but I’m just not interested in doing projects anymore. Have too many, and its not fun like it used to be. I have not run either of them, so don’t know if they will or not. Not interested in trades or lowballers, or hearing a sad story about you not having the money.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000

I have this exact jeep (same numbers on the hood), though the box and top are long gone. My grandmother bought it for me and kept it in the toy closet. It jeeped the shag carpet of grandma’s house, which explains why mine is in great shape!
“You are bidding on a great Vintage Tonka Jeep, still in the box!! The Jeep appears to be in good shape. The box is in good shape for its age, although someone has written a name on one side of the box. It still has a great presentation side. This is the 10 1/2 inch version”

UPDATE: This was on eBay. Status Unknown.
If your GPA is too small, here’s the upgrade you have always wanted!
“Iam selling this 1943 Amphibious military vechicle ,it is in great shape , runs drives an floats.”
It doesn’t run, but appears to be worth a look.
“Available for quick sale: 1947 Jeep Willys. This will make an awesome project for any Jeep lover. My husband purchased this as a project a few years ago but it unfortunately wasn’t refurbished before my husband became ill and passed. It doesn’t run but most all parts are present. It has been stored in my garage for the last several years. It will really be an easy restoration for someone looking for a project. I am looking to sell asap. Please call me, Stacey, at 443-744-3624.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900
(11/30/2012) This looks like it was a VEC body. The price looks good.
“Runs and drives well, would trade for guns”
This nice truck is being auction with 100% of proceeds going to the Clark Fork Coalition which helps protect the Clark Fork Watershed.
“Original flat floor.Truck runs well. Model 6-226. 6 cylinder, 226 engine (correct engine for this model). A CID Flat head side valve engine. Engine has not been re-built, but engine has been re-sealed and gaskets changed. This is a point ignition. Body man and painter did meticulous body work. Very pretty truck. Runs well at 45 mph, geared low.
Full repairs done to the vehicle in 2011. I have a copy of the report that I can share. Basically, this is an amazing little truck. Our donor paid around $10,000 for the vehicle and then put another 10K of work into it … so with this new info it’s actually worth retail of close to 20K. Vin # 55268/11999.
Latest comp test in 2011 on the 6 cylinder engine – all fired at 110 except #3 which fired at 105 – still really good.
The only items of note: Some rust on the floor but this was covered with a plate of sheet metal in the 2011 repair. See photo. And, all cab mounts eventually need to be replaced.
I am receiving a lot of emails about this. If you prefer to talk in person please email me through eBay to set up a time. I am on staff at the nonprofit running the auction but will answer questions best I can.
Thanks,
Clark Fork Coalition”
