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 .

This doesn’t run, but appears pretty solid and utilitarian.
“We bought this Willys thinking we get around to restoring it… Well here we are and my bosses idea of restoration is “sell it, I’m too busy. Does not run, looks to be complete, clean title, great project car.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This is an old Air Force Wagon that, according to the seller, was modified with a V8 by the Air Force. It’s a neat bit of history. Apparently Mercury supplied motors for an unknown number of swaps into wagons.
“This is a pretty rare super solid Willys Wagon. She came from an Air Force base in Wyoming and was used as a crash tender. The original engine was not fast enough for the military so a Mercury flathead V8 was adapted quite nicely to the original drivetrain. I couldn’t tell you you when she was last in service but I know this vehicle was stored in a hanger for quite some time. The body is extremely solid! This is an easy retoration. She runs great and drives straight. I have spent years collecting parts for this beauty and everything goes with her. Way too much to list, but my asking price hardly covers the parts and transportation costs to get her to Syracuse. If you’ve been seriously looking for a Willys Wagon to restore, this is the one. I searched the country to find her. Please don’t ask me to sell the engine separately. The military bought these vehicles with the intention of swapping motors and Mercury provided a limited amount of them and I wouldn’t want to ruin the historic significance of that.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
“I have a 1952 Willys CJ3B “High Hood” Jeep For Sale. Does not run, engine, transmission, transfer case, chassis are all there, the body is in poor condition, but restorable. I have some extra parts I would be willing to let go with it. Asking $400.00″
UPDATE: Was $2000. **SOLD**
This looks solid.
“1954-55 Willys CJ-3B Universal Jeep w hard top and doors original manual included”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1800.
(06/03/2012) As best as my poor spanish will translate, the seller knows this is a project and doesn’t have the money necessary to put into it. The brakes don’t work. Body appears solid on the outside.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
(02/21/2012) umm … The jeep I am looking at in the pictures doesn’t jibe with the ‘great condition’ claim.
“1953 Jeep Willys
Great condition.
Jeep runs and drives, 4×4 works, tires and rims all original. Just needs a paint job, and get the seat reupholstered. This is a rare jeep and is a great project vehicle. California pink slip in hand and tags are already paid for and current. This was supposed to be a father son project car, but things came up and we don’t have the time or money for it.”
UPDATE: Still Available. The year has been changed to a 1945.
(02/02/2012) Runs, but needs work.
“I have a 1949 Willys. Flat head 4cly. It does run, but needs a little TLC with the engine and body/drive train. She’s not purrrfect, but she is old school and very cool! Call Cori 503-752-5538 for any questions or more pics.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
(03/27/2012) It runs.
