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 .
The passenger indents suggest this has a replacement body. It looks good.

“Willy CJ-2A 1948 runs drives needs some TLC have all the replacement parts 4X4 cash no trades have a car cover for it… runs and brakes… title in hand.”
I suspect none of these run.

“Couple jeeps left and a ton of parts”
It lacks a title. I assume it includes the plow.

“1946 Jeep Willy, no title.”
The steps have been modified.

“Good running jeep. Solid. Older paint. Runs drives and stops. Brakes have not been serviced in awhile so would do so before putting on the road. 4×4 and high low work. Roll bar. Windshield has small crack. Has front tow bar. Tires are good. Clean title. Comes with spare tire.”
Engine runs, but body is shot.

“1949 Willy Jeep. Starts, runs and stops. All there including original 4-cylinder engine, carburetor, radiator, 16” wheels and seats. Frame is good; body is shot (at least everything from the front seat back). Starts right up. Kaiser-Willys sells an entirely new tub, or you could restore the front end and just replace the back. Located in Lancaster, PA near Park City Mall. Comes with waterproof car cover. $2,580 obo.”
TJ shared this one. It includes a Warn winch. There may be value here.

“1966 jeep CJ5. Buick 225 oddfire. Warn overdrive. 4.88 gears. See pictures for details. Will not sell sight unseen, you must come and look at it before I will entertain offers. Cash only. Clear title, ran when parked, but that was at least 10 years ago. Kept undercover since then. I have had a huge response to this, so if I don’t get to your pm, sorry.”
This appears to be a DJ-3A convertible that has been changed to 4wd (I think it’s 4WD).

“Have brand new wheels and tires Runs and drives, but no gas tank Hood and windshield and interior have been taken apart but I have all the parts labeled and bagged Msg for more info and pictures”
Might be worth a look.

(Joe-in-Mesa took this video and most definitely earned his ride in the Tour Jeep)
After 3200+ miles of driving over the last 9 days we finally arrived home on Tuesday. Yes, we are tired and exhausted. It has been a LONG three days.
After Saturday’s rescue by Joe and Jan, we loaded the Tour Jeep onto Joe’s trailer and renewed our trek north, but within twenty miles we realized the brakes on his trailer still weren’t working well for us. After testing out some different truck towing modifications (more gain, more effort). We decided it was time to go to Joe’s place and see if we could make the other trailer work better.
Joe, meanwhile, had towed the trailer back to his house. Along the way his truck alerted him to a brake fault. So, it wasn’t us that was having a problem.
By the time we reached his house Saturday night, we were tired and frustrated. Two trailers weren’t working correctly, a heavy jeep needed to be Brough home, and the future weather forecast meant we needed to get home by Wednesday or risk the passes getting bad again. Thankfully, we had Jan and Joe to share some drinks, eat some food. and forget about life for a while.
On Sunday morning, Joe and I tackled the trailer issues. Our first task was to debug the running light issues. Why were some lights working and some not? After trial and error we learned it was a combination of grounding and loose wires. It was a big win when we got all the lights working!
While completing that task, we discovered the trailer wasn’t wired correctly for either of our trucks. That’s when we both learned that 7 blade plug-ins have at least two different wiring options (there could be more, but I haven’t deep dived on the topic). So, rewiring the trailer for OUR trucks, helped solve additional issues.
Once all that was done, the trailer brakes worked correctly. By Sunday’s sunset, we’d completed the work and done a half-hour test of the trailer (with FC aboard) around Phoenix.
Monday at 5am we left for Salt Lake. It was a long, somewhat nerve wracking drive given what happened on Saturday. Thankfully, things went smoothly despite encountering rain, snow, and some hail. We arrived just at sunset to and an-all-too-short visit with my sons.
Tuesday morning, again at 5am, we hit the road again. This time we were less worried about the trailer and more worried about the weather, as we had at least six passes to summit. At about 6:30am we reached Snowville, where we ran into fog an 0 degree temps.
The moon was bright at 7am, while the world around us was frigid!
I wondered just how long of a day it was going to be, but once the sun broke over the mountains, the temps improved, as did the road conditions. It was smooth sailing after that.
We must thank Jesse and Andrea for their “most excellent” hospitality and their support for buying the Tour Jeep. And, we can’t thank Joe and Jan enough for their incredible selflessness in coming to our aid, entertaining us, boosting our moral some, and helping us get the trailer road-worthy again. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Unsure if there will be updates on Thursday morning or not, but Friday for sure.
