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 $3800.

Plenty of surface rust. Ok, Im not sure why, but that hardtop has a bit of an alien feel to me. Maybe it has just settled funny on the ground or something.
“47 willys was running about 3 years ago, comes with a hard top. $2000 cash,”
UPDATE: I thought this had been patched on the passenger side, but the seller notes that the metals stripes have been added to prevent damage during difficult terrain. The body was professionally repaired.

William, the President of the Tennessee Flat Fender Club, recently contacted me with some kind notes about my book. I told him I had been planning to do a post about the club, so he provided me some information.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
Looks like a good band for the buck.
“Jeep Willys 1952. Good mechanical condition. No rust. Clear title. Iowa license. Price Firm.”
This looks solid, but needs a little bit of work.
“1947 CJ 2A, bought 10 years ago from a farmer who painted the tub and did minor mechanical work to the jeep. Since owned I have replaced the following parts:
Crate Go devil engine with less then 500 miles on it since installation
Transmission ( 3 speed)
clutch
gas tank
radiator/ fan/ belt
4 new 16 inch tires
4 new 16 inch rims
all new brakes
new Brake Master cylinder
new parking Brake
2 re built front locking hubs
3 new pedals
1 new steering wheel
horn
4 new leaf springs

new exhaust system
Jeep is 100 percent road ready and off road ready, 4×4 works perfectly in high and low. Engine runs perfectly no smoke lots of power.
The Body has not been touched since I purchased it 10 years ago, it is painted Red and has some signs of rust under the paint and a few small dents and dings, The frame is straight.
All body lights work along with headlights and brake lights.
The jeep is a CJ 2A ( has ID tags) with one exception the farmer I bought it from put a Cj 3a windshield frame on it. The glass in the frame has been replaced with new glass and new wipers were installed the wipers work off compression of the motor.
The Tub itself from the outside is in fair shape, the seats are newly covered and have no ware or tare . The floor in the tub is plated and the seats are NOT mounted correctly as per the year and model.
This jeep is 100 percent mechanically good to go. I have no more time to put into this jeep, it has been garage kept since I bought it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
Looks like a good foundation for a build.
“1953 CJ3b with body in very good condition. Very little rust in this Jeep. Floor has been replaced with new panel so no rust. Running gear in good shape Dana 44 rear and 25 front. No motor, trans, or transfer case. Good wheels with almost new all terrain tires”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2800.
That’s sure an odd pairing of seats.
“This Jeep runs well, but it does have a few mechanical issues. The Jeep has a new Beard Super T1 passenger seat. Both the driver and passenger seats are equipped with Crow 5-point harnesses. It has a new Optima red top battery. The fuel tank and gas pedal have been replaced. The tires were recently replaced and are new Big O brand all terrain tires. The body is being sanded down and then rolled with Dupont’s roll on bedliner. The Jeep also has a bolt in rollbar.”
