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 .
Alright football fans. Mark spotted this unusual jeep. A Texas Christian University fan of some type painted this flattie. The paint appears to be in decent shape still.

There might be some value here.
“1949 Willis Jeep. PTO Wench. Will Run. No title. Great Deer Lease Vehicle. 4X4 $1,000.00 obo. Phone calls only please. No text or emails please. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
It is missing a few parts, such as the front parking lights and hood latches.
“For sale: 1948 Willy’s Jeep, ALL original. Yes, runs! $1,800 or make me an offer. Take a look at the pictures, shoot me an e-mail, lets talk.”
UPDATE: Was $5500. **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This looks pretty good.
“I am selling my 1954 Willy’s M170 USMC medic jeep. There were less than 4000 of the Jeeps ever made and less than a couple hundred thought to still be in existence. This Jeep is partially restored and needs to be finished. Email me with any questions and I will answer right away.”
This one cracked me up. The seller notes it is both fully restored AND it needs brake work. So, I’d say this is sort of restored.
“
1955 Willys Jeep. Runs great but needs brake work. Fully restored, great to use for hunting, recreation or even to put in a parade. Get a Jeep with history for less than a used ATV! Call 715 302-1364 with questions or to make an offer.”

The red body could be a DJ body, given the DJ-like speedometer, rather than a CJ-2A body. It might explain its good condition.
“This auction is for two Jeep Willys flat fender jeeps with many many extra parts. The red has a three speen with the overdrive unit and drive shafts and a late model tilt steering column. It turns very easy. The body is not too bad on this one and the black inteior is very nice. The green one is complete with the pto set up. The motor turns over and the last owner says it ran great when parked. There are many many extra parts included. I will provide bill of sales. No title. Unsure of years.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This was the seller’s father’s project who recently passed away.
“This Jeep is a 1948 Willys jeep, painted camo. It has a flathead four cylinder engine. This belonged to my dad who bought it planning to restore it, but he recently passed away. We are selling off some of his things. There is no top, just what you see in the picture. I think it ran when he parked it where it sits a couple of years ago. If you are looking for a four wheel drive project or parts for one here is a buy for you. We do not have a title for it. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The seller provides some good details.
“1957 NARROW TRACK. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR. HERE IS THE STORY—I BOUGHT THIS JEEP FOR PARTS BECAUSE I AM RESTORING TWO OTHER FC150’S. THE GUY TOLD ME IT RAN GOOD, IT WAS HIS DECEASED FATHERS. IT WAS SITTING OUTSIDE FOR 7 YEARS WHEN I LOOKED AT IT. I PUT SOME GAS IN IT AND A FRESH BATTERY AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP. WHEN I TIRED TO DRIVE IT ON THE TRAILER IT JUST KEPT LOCKING UP IN THE FRONT. HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW WHY. WELL I BROUGHT IT HOME AND STARTED TO MESS AROUND WITH IT . I DID NOT HAVE THE HEART TO PART IT OUT BECAUSE THE MOTOR RUNS SO GOOD. NO SMOKE EITHER. HE DID TELL ME THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AT SOME POINT IN ITS LIFE.
I TORE THE FRONT END APART AND FOUND THE RIGHT AXLE , RING & PINION, CARRIER ALL BROKEN. DON’T ASK ME WHY, BUT I REPAIRED IT ALL WITH N.O.S. PARTS. I PUT SOME NEW SEALS IN , REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE SHOES, LININGS, WHEEL CYLINDERS, ETC.—ALL GREASE & OIL LEVELS DRAINED AND RE-FILLED. I ALOS GOT NEW RUBBER BRAKE HOSES FRONT AND REAR. PLUS NEW STEEL LINES FRONT AND REAR & A RE-BUILT MASTER CYLINDER. WELL IT RUNS AND STOPS WELL…..”
