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: Price dropped to $2000.
(12/12/2022) This is a project with a rare Blue Star hardtop.

“1951 Jeep CJ3A Current condition is rough, notrunning; motor is running but not installed. would be a good parts Jeep. I have a spare willys frame from a jeep wagon with axles and transmission. I have lost interest and funds for this project and need the space. Make offer i need to move this thing from my garage.”
More-months-than-I-care-to-think-about ago (about seven months I think), I bought a cheap Affordable Bender. When it arrived, I was less than impressed with the collar (see this post). So, I called them, only to learn that the collar was designed that way and should work fine (I believe they told me “Billions” of bends have been done with Affordable Benders, or something like that).
So, I decided to test the bender before sending it back; I hadn’t expected to wait 7 months to test it!
Yesterday, I mounted it to my metal work table and tested it with a 90 degree bend, one of two I need for the racer’s main loop (it’s the most difficult bend of the entire roll cage). The bender comes with a 90 degree die, so I was a little worried wether the bender would do a 90 degree bend.
First off, it didn’t take me long to miss my old bender, the one I built from plans: http://www.ewillys.com/2009/10/08/my-tube-bender-almost-done/. But, since I couldn’t access my plan (lock PDF with no password and the author of the PDF wouldn’t answer my emails), I had to buy this AFF bender.
Here are the results of the 90 degree bend .. as you can see, it stops short of a 90 degree bend:
Ugh .. what It meant is that I had to force the 15′ tube through the collar a few inches so I could add an additional bend. While that worked, I bent it too far (I misread my level .. it went to 90 degrees which I missed, then started down to 88, so I thought it was at 88 and needed to go to 90. UGH .. had to start over).
Eventually, I got the hang of how to do a 90 degree bend with this and managed to create the loop below.
This pic shows the first 90 finished and I’m starting on the second.
This shows the second 90 done. That is all the 90s I need, so the rest of the bends should be much easier.
I still have two more bends on this loop (the bars are parallel, though don’t look that way in the pics), which I’ll complete tomorrow.
UPDATE: Dwayne posted some more pics of his truck on Facebook. You can see them below:
This image was posted a few days ago by Dwayne Brown. I am guessing the the back bed is a modified wagon back? It reminds me a little of the “Tender” wagons. Looks like a great rig!

This unusual ad appears to include an M-38A1. It also shows a CJ-3B, but not a CJ-3A, so my guess is 1953.

John spotted some vintage jeep/willys model kits at the Old Model Kits website. They seem cheaper than you’ll find on eBay.

Looks solid. It’s supposed to have a PTO, but I can’t tell if it is single or dual.

“1958 cj6 Willy’s Jeep Rebuilt 231 odd fire motor less than 1000 miles Rebuilt transmission and transfer case less than 100 miles Brand new drive shaft from inland trucks Electric fan Aluminum radiator New tires I do have a matching spare tire and wheel New seats—-etc Lots of parts thrown at this Jeep over the last few years These jeeps are like toys and are fun to work on but I wouldn’t hop in it and try and drive it to California I never drive it and kinda need the space in my shop so time to let this one go I do have a title and it’s registered antique for the road It’s a solid little Jeep and you don’t see very many cj6 out there Also this one has a pto as well I just don’t have the shaft”
The year is incorrect. This could be worth a look.

This may have some patches over the drain hole area of the body on both sides.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2. Super clean for comparisons I have seen. Pinto motor transplant. Original flat head and other parts included in pictures go with the sale of jeep. Selling for my best friends wife. He passed away 4 years ago and it sat since then. She is ready for someone to finish the final touches for parades or whatever fun it will bring. I put in new battery, tubes in 2 tires and new distributor, plugs, and a couple other odds and ends to get the lil beast breathing again. Jeep runs, drives, stops, 4wd works, winch works, it is street legal with title ready to transfer to you. Reasonable cash in hand offers will be saved for consideration later if not sold for asking price. Reminder there are extras including axles, transfer, transmission, and flat head motor.”
The body appears fairly solid.

“1947 CJ-2A Ready to go together. If you know what your looking at your the person to put this back on the road. 1943 chain drive L134 was running and driving and mounted on the chassis. Discovered a crack in the block. Engine was rebuilt with .30 over and running before discovery. I have too many projects for the amount of time I need to finish. This 75 year old warrior comes with a title. If it’s listed it’s available. I won’t answer is it available”
Doesn’t run at the moment.
