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 doesn’t run at the moment.
“Bought many years ago and it ran back then. I installed a good battery in it and it cranked over, but wouldn’t fire. Then it quit…..I think I fried the starter or the solenoid (not sure which). The engine isn’t frozen, so it probably won’t take much to get it running again. This was going to be a project car, but lost interest. Take a look at the pictures……what you see is what you get.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a no-reserve auction. Needs a tiny bit of work.
“This rare classic is selling on a “No Reserve Auction”. The high bidder will absolutely win this truck.
Just got this rare truck in. Its a 1951 Overland Willys Jeep Flatbed Pickup. It appears to be in very good condition for the year. I have had a few of these throughout the years and they are getting harder to find and they sell fast.
This one starts right up and Purrs like a Kitten. No Smoke or engine noise and runs cool. It appears to me to be the original motor and it looks like it has been rebuilt or freshened up. It has good power for the size of the motor. The Truck drives very straight and no shakes or shimmies. It has new tires and nice aluminum wheels which greatly adds to the drive-ability. It appears that someone started to restore this and so it needs to be finished up, but the hardest parts of the restoration appear to be done. It would be a fun project and with a little work you could drive while you complete.
This would also be a great advertisement piece for your business, Imagine your company signs along the sideboards of the flatbed.
A couple of other things. It is a bit hard to shift into 2nd gear i’m not sure if its the clutch or what? I have talked to some people about it and they tell me that its my driving and that you have to “double clutch it” when you shift? Maybe you will know more about this than I do, however I wanted to disclose this. It appears that the previous owners have coated the flatbed and the floor boards with some type of coating. It looks nice and appears to be quite durable. I don’t see any major problems with rust, but there is some visible surface rust inside the door panels and on the roof on the inside of the truck (under where the headliner would be). The seat is not original but fits in the cab very well and looks good. I have the door panels that need to be covered and installed (see pictures) I also have some other misc parts that are in the picture that will go with the truck. It is missing the headliner. The headlights and taillights work but you will need to get the wipers working and a few other misc items.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
This appears to have a replacement body and a M-38 windshield.
“Good condition, Runs excellent. 5 Military Michelin Radials. ”
Not stock, but appears solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a no reserve auction. It’s not perfect, but appears solid.
“We bought this Willys from the US Forrestry Department and painted it Army green. It runs great and is as solid a Jeep as you will find. When it was painted, there was absolutely NO rust repair. We’ve used it in a couple of parades and has sat in the barn now for five years. My wife says I’ve got to clean out the barn and and get rid of items I don’t use. It was fun to own but needs to go to someone who will appreciate it better.
I’m offering this for sale on ebay only and will not sell it outside the auction. We have a shipping company and can arrange shipping in an enclosed trailer for a fee. E-mail me your zip code for a shipping estimate. The spare tire is the original tire and I bought a new spare tire mount but never installed it. I’ll put a new battery in the Jeep when it sells. Good luck and thank you for viewing my auction.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It sounds as if this has been sitting in a barn for quite a few years.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep
This has been our family ranch jeep since 1992. Since then then it has been in our covered barn gathering dust. I would like to find a new owner that will take care of this ’46 treasure. The jeep features:
– original flat head 4 engine w new radiator
– 4 wheel drive & transfer case in working order (manual locking hubs)
– tow bar and light hook up
– interior has spay in bed liner
– Camo paint job ( perfect for the hunter)
– front winch quick disconnect (winch not included)
– and years of enjoyment…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
There appears to be some value here.
“1948 Willys for sale. Complete body and driveline. Not running (I do not believe the engine is seized) and no title. Has a Borg-Warner overdrive. Some rust in tub under drivers seat. Body straight for a 65 year old. Needs a little time and elbow grease. This is a great project vehicle and a greater price. The pictures show it as I bought it, complete with leaves. I have cleaned it up a bit and took it off the frame. I put four newer tires and wheels on it. I’ll throw in two extra fenders (left and right) and a hood. Wife says get it out of the yard.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay. Initial bid is $6.99.
I purchased a copy of this book. There are some good pictures and stories of the jeeps used to make the first few Zamboni Ice Resurfacers. If you haven’t seen it, here’s my post about the Zamboni Ice Resurfacer.
Lots of rust and doesn’t currently run.
“1953 Willys Jeep does not run but will with a new battery gas fuel lines and carb cleaning it’s rough but not terrible the frame is in good shape aside from rust rolls easy shifts through all gears and has high low plus 4 wheel drive I also have the registration for it as well as the keys it comes with spare tire and tire rack back seat and grill the plow and plow accessories don’t come with it do don’t ask call 845 594 5332”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3200.
(10/11/2012) It runs, but needs some work. It appears in good shape.
