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 $2995

Jay went to go look at this jeep and provided the following description. Thanks Jay!
The frame horns are a little screwed up in frontand has a rebuilt studabaker straight 6 in it instead of the ford motor.correct tranand transfer, runs good. The tub is the cleanest gpw tub ive seen except 1 hole that was cut in dash for a radio??. easily repairable. Very little rust except for a little by the axe/shovel location.Still has tool box lids, data plates on glove box, gas tand and sump, two original front seats. Frame number was “welded over” when motor mounts were changed for motor. Front crossmember was modified to drop radiator a little. I don’t think he is that negotiable.
Here’s a description from the sellers:

I am the third owner of this jeep. There is some rust by driver door where the shovel use to be mounted. 303-433-7928”

Pete, from the Willys-Overland Jeepster Club, emailed me a comment regarding Jeepsters the other day, teaching me something I didn’t know about Jeepsters (No Factory made 4wd models from ’48 – ’51). He had a link to his website, so I checked it out.
I finally figured out what Santa rides in when there is no snow for his sleigh … he uses a bright red Jeepster! Drop by JeepsterClub.com and learn more about their organization.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.

This CJ-5 looks nicely stock and appears in good shape.
“1959 Willy’s Jeep. Less than 60,000 original miles. Runs great (4 cylinder) and in excellent condition. No top. PRICE REDUCED to $2,700.”
It needs a starter (according to the seller), but is otherwise good (well, at least that is implied). The price seems right.
