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 .
“1948 red willy’s jeep. L-Head flathead 4, T90 3-speed tranny, Model 18 transfer case. Cracked steering wheel, original. Top speed roughly 45!!! Down a hill, might do 48.. Typical cruise speed 25.. Clean and original but not good for daily commuter unless you’re going to the grocer.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $300
This appears to be a good price.
“I have a Ramsey PTO Winch that came off of a 60’s Willys CJ-5. Its in good shape and all parts are there: winch, control box that bolts to transfer case, fairlead, and the driveshaft. The labels are hard to see in the pictures: The one on the control box says – PT1-J;The one on the winch says – Model # 1200-R (I think), Capacity 8000lb, and the Serial # (hard to make out). Looking to get $300 dollars for it”
If wiring the lights is all that’s left, then this might be a pretty good price. The body appears to be a replacement body, so it’s likely in very good shape.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300
I’m guessing it doesn’t run at the moment?
“For Sale a 1943 MB Willy Jeep this is unrestored but has all the parts, except combat rims. I just dont have time to get to it and would like to see it go to a good home.”
It’s an unusual roll cage. I like the ‘hot rod’ head cover.
“JEEP WILLYS 1945 RUNS AND DRIVE GOOD.”
UPDATE: Thanks to Craig for updating on the sale of this Truck. It sold for $5200.
Here’s a beautiful truck.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This is a very rare WWII 1947 Willys. I put jeep in the title for locating purposes only. IT IS NOT A JEEP MANUFACTURED VEHICLE. It is a 1947 WWII willys, with original engine and drivetrain. The body was hand built by skilled craftsmen in 1974 in the philippine islands. It has a complete stainless steel body. The engine was rebuilt about 3-4 years ago by an ASE certified mechanic. It runs and drives like new and has no problems that I am aware of. It has been used mostly in shrine parades and ridding the grandchildren around on the farm. It has been stored in a climate controlled shop most of its life. It naturally has no rust anywhere on it. The tires are very old and do have signs of dry rot, but have excellent tread and if not going on a long trip, should be fine for several more years. I have heard that several were built in the 70’s, but I wouldn’t think that very many are still around. The vehicle comes with a full enclosure and as far as I can tell all the snaps and attachments are in good working order. The vehicle has never been wrecked or disassembled whatsoever. The miles showing on the speedometer are true and correct. There are no dents that I have seen at all. There are some very lite wear scratches in the stainless body from getting in and out or wiping dust off without the proper cloth. Again these are very lite and would probably not be noticed, but I did want to mention them.”
So, you have an extra $100,000 and 3000 hours. What do you with yourself? Randy Grubb decided he’d build a Hot Rod out of a long haul truck. Popular Science magazine highlights Randy’s efforts. Though it has nothing to do with jeeps, I thought it was worth mentioning.
What I really liked was the before and after pics. In the before pic, you can see how he arranged the parts so he could visualize what he was building. Any of us who have done projects like this where there aren’t specific instructions/directions can relate. I can’t tell you how many times I put on and took off the jeep body to make sure it fit in the right spot, not too far forward, not too far back, not to high, was it straight — then stand back and ponder and take a few pics and adjust and ponder …. details, details, details. It’s all part of the fun :-).
Despite it’s fun design, this wasn’t just some show vehicle. When Randy was finished, he drag raced it at 100 mph. Now that’s a HOT Rod!
I’ve included the before pic (taken by Randy’s wife). You can see the after pic result and read all about the transformation at Popsci.com.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Here’s an unusual find.
“How about this boys! A 1956 Willys with backhoe. Someone said it is a factory military, is it? I don’t know, you tell me. Flat head 6 cylinder, 3 speed trans., 4 wheel drive. It runs and drives BUT has no brakes. I have a rebuilt master cylinder for it. The backhoe works great. Need to replace some hydrolic lines but it works the way it is. She is a rare one boys! Bring $5000 cash please-NOTHING LESS-and a trailer and she’s yours! ”
These appear in good condition.
“6 tires and rims 4 mounted fit jeep,ford,scout,chevy the 2 other rims are 8 lug. Tires size is 31×15.5×15. Call David @ 360-607-6258”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It looks like someone filled in the driver side indents.
“Newer crate motor, runs fine, needs minor work. Front passenger window broken. Brake master cylinder stuck from sitting.”
