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 .
Here’s a great price on a running CJ-2A with a working snow plow. The top is rather funky.
“For Sale a used 1946 Willys-Overland Motors CJ2A Jeep with hydraulic snowplow. Runs great, solid engine and drivetrain. Needs minor exhaust work. 54,810 original miles on engine and drivetrain.”
It’s hard to find a running CJ-6 under $2k, let alone at $1k. Of course, the ad doesn’t say it’s running, but I can always hope.”
However, for mystical reasons that remain unclear, it occurred to me tonight to search for other ‘Willys’ cartoons by Bill. Here’s the results of my search. (send me others or links to others if you know of more ….

“1953 Willys M38A1,2300cc ford 4 clyinder engine, 35in. bucshot mudders, aluminum wheels,bikini top,needs battery but runs and drives good. Moved out of the country, must sell.”
“.. Vehicle runs beautifully and drives straight. Everything is operational. This is noted ALL ORIGINAL 1948 Willys metal body and frame. Sandblasted and repaired with METAL as needed. Body is not perfect, I wanted to keep as much original parts as I could. I am a perfectionist with attention to detail, and though the jeep is not perfect, it is close. It is a great turn-key jeep that is ready for a collector or a special person to enjoy. This is a dependable vehicle that starts when you want it to, so you can enjoy it instead of having to work on it. Parts are still available for this vehicle if ever needed, part supply information will be provided ….”
“Item up for bid! The Willys “G.I.JOE JEEP”! This is a production of Edmund Angelus Automotive In Roanoke Virginia. Accessories Sold Seperately. This unit comes ready to hit the trails and back country, it comes complete with removeable top and doors. Doors have roll up windows. Comes with working heater, Bikini Top,Snow Plow. Roll Bar,Back-Up light, Axe, Shovel, & Snatch Block Brackets. The engine has the factory Super Sonic head on it, which gives it very noticeable throttle response! For a Four cylinder, this little unit runs really strong. The floors were patched by a previous owner, yet are quite suitable for what the vehicles intended uses are. The brake were completely reworked, the lines were purged and re-serviced with Dot-5, Which is a Silicone based fluid, way better than regular Dot -3, as it is not corrosive!…”
This is a pretty fun looking jeep (maybe it’s the scoop?). I’m wondering if it’s got floating hubs in the rear? Something is sticking out.
“1947 lifted willys with a chevy small block 283 v8. standard 3 speed transmission, twin stick transfer case, 31 in. tires, roll bar. runs strong. also have soft top to go with it.”
While surfing this weekend, I came across MudDuck Central that is full of various stats, some I’ve seen before and some I haven’t. One of the more interesting stats was a table of axle strengths. You can see the graph here borrowed from this page. The one thing that caught my eye was that the Dana 30 is actually stronger (due to it’s slightly larger axle size) than the front Dana 44. Anyone run across this before? And does anyone know if the front Dana 44 housing is stronger than the Dana 30 (in some measurable way)?

“1945 jeep fenders. shed stored. great shape.”
http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/grd/1098944413.html
The owner has set the starting bid at $8,000. This jeep comes with a pretty good story posted on the CJ-3B page. The speedometer on this CJ-3B shows mileage of 7,150 miles.
“This auction is for a 1962 Kaiser Willys Jeep CJ-3B Jeep and trailer. I spent three years getting this jeep; the story is on the link below. The thrill of the chase was intense, but I’m selling it to conentrate on my business and my family. It is a one-of-a-kind vehicle; probably one of the nicest old Willys flat fenders in the country. It turns heads and makes thumbs go up!”
