About eWillys
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.
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 .
Roberto spotted this article in JP Magazine which discusses inexpensive ways to get into an old jeep. They cover Willys Wagons & Trucks, CJ-5s, Jeepster Commandos and Fullsize Jeeps. I think their price points align with what I have seen as well.

“Really nice jeep, good paint, Colorado Jeep, excellent frame,new canvass seats on original frames, new style carburator, engine rebuilt at napa machine shop,new gas tank, new radiator, back seat, new brakes, 1500 miles on this jeep since being redone.”
This has a spare tire holder on the driver’s side.
“One 1954 Jeep Willys in good shape. Frame is solid, body has some rust but not much. Its a fresh barn find. Hasn’t been used in 30 years. Motor runs. Needs some minor work to be driven on the road. would be great for a restoration job. Only selling because I don’t have time to do it justice. $4500.00 OBRO.”
This is a NellyBelle look-a-like. Note the bent frames rails in the fourth pic.
“”Whoa Nelly” Being a fan of Roy, Dale and Pat I decided I wanted a Nelly Belle of my own so this 1947 CJ2A turned into one. It sure isn’t “the” Nelly But I think Pat would recognize her. She is very stock, 6V, L head stock axels. Tires about 2 years old with less than 500 miles. Radiators good, fuel tanks new, all gauges work. Starts, runs and stops fine. No steering wobble. The Nelly Belle tins included of course, 20 mm ammo cans, hand fabricated doors and a cut down windshield complete with gun port. She’s ready to parade or play, biggest problem is finding people who know who Roy, Dale, Pat and Nelly are. Isn’t that a shame.”
“1954 Original Willys jeep. Needs restroration. No seats, Has vin plate but there is no title bill of sale only (will explain) There is some rust in the floors but not too bad. Original paint, shows a little over 10,000 miles. Motor turns over biut it needs a gas tank doesn’t run. Great for parts or project.”

(07/30/2011) The seller knows the whole history of this jeep.
“1946 Willy’s bought new at Al Archard Motors 224 E. Grand ave, Escondido. Has the very desirable half cab top that was originally canvas but was covered in galvanized tin back in the early 1950’s by tom Bandy’s Blacksmith shop. She starts right up and purrs ! Engine runs strong and all gearing and four wheel drive components function. It will need the brakes, steering, suspension and cooling system addressed before putting her back on the road. This jeep was built for both agricultural use and recreation. The prior owner told me stories of he and his father driving it up 395 into the Sierras in the 1950’s then returning home to use it as the tractor on the ranch. It was still attached to a plowing disc when I purchased it. This little Willy’s is perfect for parades, Tractor shows or just looking good in the yard. I have title and it is registered ‘non-op’.”
