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 $1200.
It might be worth a look.
“1951 willys…runs..has new solex carb…converted to 12v…new alternator… new starter…needs a clutch…clean title…non-oped…glenn”
It sounds like the seller wants more if it includes a title.
“Old Willys Jeep. Not running. best to just check out the pictures. Will not part out the jeep but you can if you buy the whole thing! You will need a flat bed and you can get a tille for the right price!”

The seller believes the engine is original. However, the ID# starting with 4T indicates this was originally used in a late 48 or early 49 truck (thanks to the 2A page for that info)

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(12/19/2012) This seems a little strange. The seller bought this twelve years ago from someone in Arizona. It still has the Arizona title. What’s strange is that instead of new pictures, the seller appears to be showing pictures from Arizona, which I think means the pictures are twelve years old? You gotta love the tiny rope around the bumper, lol.

I haven’t seen the movie Uranium Boom, but it received a rating of 6.5 stars at IMDb. There are a couple items from the movie on eBay.

<– Day 4 & 5 – March 21 & 22: Joe and Joe in Mesa, FC Roundup Part I | Overview | Day 7 – March 24: Bernie’s Hotrod FCs and A Train Stop –>
Just a few updates today (Sunday). Saturday was busy and a lot of fun at Jesse’s house. People were coming and going all day. There was plenty of good food, with hot dogs and beans at lunch and some delicious midday ribs from James in the afternoon. Blue sky and temperatures in the high 70s created perfect temperatures whether you were in the sun or the shade. Below are some of the day’s events.
After a group trip to Mother’s for dinner, we returned to find Bernie’s stunning FC combo:
Colin, George and I spent some time checking out Colin’s Jeepster:
Bob restored this beautiful column shift CJ-2A:
The ladies all jumped into Jesse’s refurbished Tour Jeep for a picture. He’s almost finished with it.
We celebrated Jesse and Andrea’s 50th anniversary and the FC-Roundup’s 10th anniversary.

Thursday March 21: We spent Wednesday night in Flagstaff, slept in, toured Flagstaff, then drove to Phoenix. It wasn’t all that interesting, as the only thing we documented was a stop at Pita Jungle in Flagstaff.
Friday March 21:
Left to right: Joel, David, Joe-in-Mesa
Ann and I dropped by Joe’s house in Mesa on Friday morning before heading off to the 2013 FC Roundup. While Joel has been around jeeps much of his life, Joe is newer to them.
Joe’s initial jeep goal was simple: militarize an old CJ-2A. So, he bought a running CJ-2A with a rough body. Then, he found a GPW body with a great body and frame. His plan was to put the body onto the CJ-2A frame, but his plan was thwarted when he discovered the frame and body matched. With Joel preaching “thou shallst not separate a matching body and frame”, Joe decided to focus on building up the GPW to an originalism state and just patch the floor of the CJ-2A.
As Joe began looking for parts, he found a T-84 transmission and transfercase. Though Joe only wanted the tranny and tc, the seller gave him a price on that plus CJ-3B parts that he couldn’t refuse.
So, a story as old as time, Joe’s one project has turned into three 🙂
The GPW has a few interesting items of note. First, the passenger side was cut and replaced with a swinging door. The door is better than bubba quality and looks like, based on paint comparisons, that it has been with the jeep a long time. Joe has decided to keep it as a conversation piece.
Also of interest is a hinge welded to the bottom of the Ford script seat frame. I suspect that’s a mystery which will never be solved.
After a great time with Joe and Joel, we headed west to central Phoenix and the FC Roundup.
