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 $8700

EAST MEETS WEST – 6000 MILE JEEPSTER EVENT By Glenn Byron
Sometimes we take for granted the many benefits our membership in WOJC [Willys Overland Jeepster Club] pro- vides. For example, that booklet you received titled “ WOJC 2010 ROSTER” is just something that arrives. Larry & Shirley Wozniak volunteered a bunch of time and effort to get this quality product to club members. Using it as a tool is a bonus for paying our meager dues. Let’s look at where this can take us. Recently, in planning for a cruise to visit our 50th state, Hawaii, I noticed a scheduled one day port call in Honolulu.
Just for kicks, I grabbed that Roster to see if we had members there. Garage tours and visits with other enthusiasts are always great sidelines to get away from usual tourist activities. Sure enough, all of Hawaii has one lonely WOJC member, Randy Spangler, right there in Honolulu. A quick email to Randy to intro- duce myself and inform him of my visit, yielded a friendly response with encourage- ment to see what we could put together. Nothing concrete, just loose parameters to keep both of us available as all the unknowns could allow. Our first port was Hilo, on the big island of Hawaii, with Honolulu, on Oahu, the following day. “Call me from Hilo and we’ll see what the cards hold” was Randy’s invitation. Here’s how it came down.
ABOVE: Randy Spangler’s Island Cruiser, a ’50 Willys Jeepster mounted on a Chevy Blazer chassis- A great performing unit for Boulevard or Beach.
Three couples on a cruise ship make too large a load for a Willys Jeepster, so careful strategy had to happen to be sure no one felt compromised. The girls were anxious to see Waikiki Beach, and with great personal sacrifice, I crossed that off my list. The other two guys, though not car oriented, agreed to back seat status and a full load resulted. Contact with Randy was made from Hilo and plans laid down for Willys Jeepster to meet Golden Princess at the dock in Honolulu. How’s that for a welcoming committee? Heads turn when ever we put our Jeepsters on display, but this may be a first! Randy’s 1950 Jeepster is especially suited to the hustle and bustle of Oahu gridlock traffic.
Here’s a ‘from scratch’ wooden jeep beautifully assembled. Lots of nice detail work.

I ran across this pedal jeep today. I looked through some of the pedal cars at the CJ-3B Page, but didn’t see anything similar. Anyone know what kind it is?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
“1951 Willys Overland Wagon. 265 Chevy V8 3spd 4X4. It does need restoration but is very complete. Runs and Drives but not on the road. Fenders, Front Bumper, And Tail Gate are off but included. It will need to be trailerd.. $ 2500.00 Firm. Or Possible trade on a New or fresh 350 Chevy motor plus cash”
Looks solid.
“1948 willies military jeep runs has plow and soft top no emails (920) 980 1069 $4000 or make offer”

UPDATE: Still Available
(03/16/2012) Moving and needs to sell.
“Just found out I am moving, if this does not sell by the end of the month I will take it to the scrap yard and avoid another month of fees on storage. Come load it up take it home. have about 2 dozen more pictures. I Have a WWII production, late model 1941 willys MB, not a first production with a slat grill.
-T 84 transmission
-dana 18 transfer case
-Dana 25 front axle
-Dana 27 rear axle
The previous owners put a v8 and cherry bomb exhaust in it and ran it like that. The motor is junk. The body needs work but Kaiserwillys . com sells new body panels and full tubs for what you want to replace. The floors are rotted through but the side panels fenders, hood and frame are solid. Someone welded around the bed and put a roll bar on for hunting purposes. Rims are solid not split. This would be a good for restore if you wanted to put it back to original, but when completed a 1942 MB goes for about $22,000 on average as most that hit the streets in the US were battle damaged. Or if you wanted just to get it running with a new engine and seats and take it trailer riding. This is a WWII military piece of history and I cannot bring myself to junk it. BUT I could sell the frame, transmission, transfer case and axles and scrap the rest and make $800, I just don’t have the time to put into the restore while working 60-70 hours a week. I was going to put a 1.6l VW diesel engine in it and run it around town… I have that for sale as well on another ad. Text 210-551-9739 OR email me(Do not call I don’t answer numbers that I do not know). I have about 20 more pictures I can email. I will help load you will need a trailer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“This is 5 available 16 inch wheels for a Willy Jeep Wagon or Pickup for sale individually at $30.00 each OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“hi – i normally dont sell jeep parts but i bought some vintage jeep parts for my own project and got these really neat vintage hubs too and i dont think i will ever use them – so here they are.
these i believe were called ” summer-time ” hubs that were installed on the front of many old 4×4 jeeps for when either the jeep was going to be towed or for when the weather was nice and you werent going to use 4wd for a while – these hubs here just have bearings inside of them and were sold in the 1950s at dealerships from what the former jeep employee had told me.
these are really neat and the insides were still clean and greasy so theres no rust or damage to the needle bearings and theres no cracks or anything bad about these. they could still use some cleaning on the outsides and maybe some polishing to make them look real shiny again but they dont look too bad right now.”
UPDATE: Was $3100. **SOLD**
This is an odd truck
“Was last regestered in 2001 as a 1950. It’s got a super hurracane 6 cylinder in it that runs good. hi and low range trans. 4-wheel drive works. great for farm, ranch, deer lease
This looks nice for the price.
“4 wheel drive, flathead 6 cylinder, new transfer case, runs great! Price is $6,500 or best offer. Call (575) 418-0105 or (575) 854-2505”
http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/2902524569.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Looks solid, but certainly not a “Army Type CJ”.
“1949 Willys Jeep, 4 Cyl, 6 volt, 41,964 original miles. Army Type CJ, This Jeep is in very good condition and runs great. Asking price $8000.00. If you are looking for a good hunting vehicle, look no farther. ”
