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: Price dropped to $2900

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1000
(12/23/09) There’s plenty of rust lining the edges of the body.

This seller has a few different items for sale.
“Ramsey PT1-J Dual output single stick Power Take Off (PTO) for a Dana Spicer 18 Transfer Case (Xfer Case) connected with the drive lines and u-joints to a Koenig 8000# PTO driven winch with steel cable. Both have been drained the refilled with fresh fluid and all the grease Zerk fittings pumped full of grease.
This is a special order item for some CJ2A jeeps and is very rare to find in such good condition. The winch alone has been listed on Ebay for over a $1000. The PTO goes for over $150 for a rear output without the chain housing.
I also have a couple Dana 18 transfer cases and T-90’s if interested (not pictured) extra of course.
If you have a functioning Warn Overdrive for a Dana 18, I may be interested in trading. Also interested in other trades for equivalent valued items used for defense.”

It’s certainly not a perfect body, the outside does appear to be pretty straight and rust free.
“Willys MB $350. Not sure of the year because the tags are missing but it is definitely military because of the lack of a tailgate, storage boxes behind the rear wheelwells, ax and shovel cutouts, and the 50 cal mount on the frame (my favorite part). Tub needs a new front floor but otherwise is in great shape. Includes tub, windshield frame, hood and frame with running gear minus the engine.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(12/31/09) Here’s another hunting jeep out of Texas.
“runs good, new tires, new battery, body in good shape.”
This looks like a good price on a canvas top. The price on the bows, however, seems a bit high to me, though I haven’t bought bows separate from a top.
“

One item I often see on older jeeps are cracks, patches and general ugliness along the front 2 feet of the frame rails. Sometimes, patching simply isn’t enough and an amputation/replacement is in order.
Over at Pirate 4×4, there’s some great pics of a rebuild that were posted during 2009. Below are just a few of the many pics posted regarding this surgery. If you want/need to do this to your build, I suggest you visit the site and check it out.
View all the pics and information here. Here are some excerpts:
The Surgeon reports, “The front frame section was kinked I think from an incident with the tow bar hitting the ground at speed. It was like that when John bought it. The frame pointed at the ground and the front shackle lay flat against the front bumper meaning no suspension. I cut the fubared frame off and built a new section and front bumper out of 2×3 box tubing.”
The patient prior to Surgery, a 1947 CJ-2A:
Here’s a closer look at the problem. Note how the frame still trends downward rather than traveling horizontal.
And, a closer look:
The front of the frame has been removed:
In this photo, you can see the new sections, build out of 2″ x 3″ square tubing that I would guess is 1/4″ thick.
And here’s another view:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
As usual, the folks at the Israeli Bureau of eWillys have spotted another unusual vehicle. I *think* this is a combination of a CJ-3A body, willys truck/wagon fenders/windshield, a cj-3a hood and grille, and some creativity. But I could be wrong….
“Selling Willys jeep. Doesn’t run. Has a straight flat six cylinder motor. Comes with 4×4 rear PTO wench and welder generator. Frame is in good condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
“The motor runs strong with new electrical, and it only needs a rear drive shaft It is a (Project car) buyer picks up.. 450 obo the motor is a ford 240 with a holley two barrel carb.”
UPDATE: This was listed for $800. Read the comment for an update.
Clean out the fuel line and replace the fuel pump and you might have a running CJ-5 for under $1000.
“
Willy’s CJ5, 4 cyl, 3 speed. Has fuel problems, does not run. Needs work, a good project Jeep. Has clear title. ”
UPDATE: The price dropped to $600
(10/12/09) I think I saw this in the Road Warrior Movie, lol. And yeah, it has no brakes, but, seriously, would you really be worried about hitting a tree in this?
“1954 JEEP WILLY’S, RUNS NICE, 4X4, M/T, NO BRAKES!!! HAS RUST AND A BUNCH OF HOME MADE WELDS ALL OVER BODY NEED ALOT OF WORK MAKE OFFER!!!”
