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 $30,000

This is a CJ-3A with a M-38 body and some stainless additions, such as the grille and jockey box.
“You are bidding on a beautifully restored 1949 Willys Overland Jeep. It was aquired by a father and son in Utah who did much of the major restorations between 2000 and 2003. During that time it also ran one of the Moab courses. In 2003 it was purchased by a collector in Connecticut who did little more with it than store it in a heated garage. I bought it in 2007. The chasis, engine and drive train are original CJ3A (civilian) and the body is a steel M 38 (military). It has after market front lock out hubs. It is painted Subaru Electric Yellow. The electrical system is 12 volts … reach seller directly at 860-966-0292”
Sometime back, Dan’s grandfather had replaced the stock CJ-5 steering with a Hudson steering mechanism. However, the bell crank has seen better days, so Dan decided to upgrade to a manual saginaw. Upgrading to the manual saginaw is rare these days (see various steering upgrade options here), so it’s a nice treat to have Dan document his work for us. Thanks Dan!
Dan writes:
Here is the Jeep soon after I picked it up from my grandfathers old ranch. I had already started to disassemble it. It’s a 1955 CJ5 which he purchased in 1959. About ten years ago he told me that his best guess was that it had about 500,000 miles on it. It has seen a lot of abuse and he made many modifications to it. That’s a Hudson steering wheel and column.
As you can see in this close up, the frame is broken clean in half just in front of the divers side front wheel.
The bellcrank where he relocated it. It was just about ready to literally fall off. All the welds were broken and only one bent bolt was holding it on.
Jim’s giving us an early look at the VEC CJ-2A he pulled out of Crawford, Colorado. He’s planning on listing this on eBay very soon (unless he gets a good offer before then). He’d really like it to go to someone who will give it a good restore.
He writes: “I pulled this CJ-2A out of Crawford Colorado. It has an early serial number, three on the tree, tool indents, 3 piece agri dash plate, early wire steering wheel, 6 volt, very little rust, runs great, motor is super quiet. The serial number is 17614.”

If you can use some of the other Wagon parts, this might be a good way to get an Overdrive.
“1954 Willys station wagon, two wheel drive with the original straight six in good running condition with 3 speed standard trans with OverDrive. Rebuilt brakes. The Willys needs restoration so please don’t ask if it can be driven across Country….car has a good California title and is currently registered non-op. It comes with all glass, spare door and parts, all 5 correct rims (not in photos)t. Everything is still on the 6 volt setup. Mostly complete, it is missing the back seat, front lower cushions and factory radio. Being relisted due to a idiot who wanted it then did not have any money ”
**SOLD**
It looks in pretty good shape.
“It runs very good. Excellent Condition. Brand New Battery. Kept Very Well. Very good Tires. Includes a soft top
This has some great upgrades, though it’s a little high for my tastes.

Hurray! Thanks to both John and Joshua (who gave me the original glass covers). Now, I’ve got glass, honeycombed light covers with some real chrome covers (as opposed to my painted ones). This has been one of those lingering projects that it’s nice to have completed.
More updates later (after I eat some dinner).
This includes a set of 4 terra tires. Is this a race jeep for PNW racing or mud bogs? The tires look great.

“Just prior to this sale all systems of this Jeep were gone through by a professional mechanic who made sure everything is working perfectly. This work included a new turn signal switch and a new electric windshield wiper motor on the driver’s side. The passenger side has the original hand operated windshield wiper. …. The drive train is all original and in very good working condition. A Petronix electronic distributor keeps the 134 CID engine running smooth and strong with less maintenance. The transmission and transfer case work perfectly….”
