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 $5000.

Looking for Willys parts or a restorer for your jeep and are located in Canada? You might try Willys Acres at 3224 Line 7 North (Coulson) Oro Station, Ontario, Canada. They have a collection of jeeps for sale, including the Boyer Fire Jeep in the post below.
From the company’s website, “First and foremost, we are a Canadian company that takes pride in the satisfaction of restoring World War II military jeeps and being able to sell very rare jeep parts for those that wish to do the work themselves…. We restore complete vehicles. The customer vehicles in the Photo Gallery are awaiting restoration. Our facilities consist of about 8,000 sq. ft. … We have about 50 jeeps in our Jeep yard, so have a look to see if any suits your fancy.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
It runs, though the body has some dents.
“
1957 Military Style Willies Jeep. Runs great, lots of power and is a fun little jeep to drive. It has a Ford 289 V-8 engine, the original 3-speed manual transmission, 4-wheel drive. It has $800 in new parts including; new tires, new soft top, new turn knuckles, new brake pads and new break lines.

“
1957 Willies Jeep civilian version. The body is in good condition over all although there is a small amount of rust in the front passenger fender (I’ve included a photo of it), the paint and interior are in fair to good condition and the tires have 75% of the tread left. It comes with the original Hurricane 4 engine which is currently not running because we removed the radiator to start the process of replacing the rear main seal but never got it done. It also comes with the original 3-speed manual transmission. For an additional $1,500 I’ll include a Chevy V8 383 stroker and a new turbo 350 hydro transmission with torque converter. Motor includes all accessories: carburetor, alternator, brackets and pully’s. Also take a look at my 1957 Military style Willies Jeep I have for sale as well. (It’s located in Lindon)”

Does this have the proper rear hubs? I don’t see them (could just be the picture).

There’s value in the rolling chassis (posi front and rear).
“I have a 1957 cj-5 roller with posi front and rear differentials, full cage roll bar, good front clip and a salvageable tub. There is not an engine, transmission or transfer case for this jeep. I do have a seperate turbo 350 advanced adapted to a twin stick dana 18 transfer case. This roller has a 4 inch Rancho Lift and power steering. No title on this jeep.
I have lost interest in this jeep, as I have my heart set on a 69 chevy short bed truck. I will consider all trades for 67′ thru 72′ chevy trucks complete trucks with or with out paper work to trading parts for parts. I need a 68 front clip, bed, or a good running 350,454………. Thank you for looking and will consider parting out, partial trades, or cash, etc..”
UPDATE: This sold for $600. It looks like a good buy at that price.
The seller lists this as a ’51, but it looks like a MB to me. Must sell quickly.
