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 $7500.
This includes a rear PTO. It looks in good shape.
“Frame off restoration with new body panels, floor pans, tires, wiring harness, brakes, bearings, guages, steering wheel, tail lights, tail gate and chains, gas tank and can. I have the PTO and shaft to run farm attachments. Runs and drives great with less than 60 miles on new build.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
I’m not sure there is much value here based on the pics.
“Old rusty and taken apart. Body.frame.axles only. No motor or trans. No wheels. All of body is here just in bad shape”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
There appears to be some rust, but there still appears to be value.
“1955 Jeep! Restoration Project! Has engine and trans (may run) (all mechanical parts seem to be intact.
Asking $700.00. Delivery can be arranged with in this area. Seems to be access to many parts and items needed for restoration via the internet! ”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2400
(05/03/2011) This might be a good price.
“This original flatfender Jeep is ready for immediate off-road use or perfect for a restoration project. The engine (F134, 4-cylinder) has been rebuilt and runs well. Almost everything on it is in working order. Drivetrain (Engine, transmission, transfer case, axles, etc) is completely original and all numbers match. Transmission and transfer case are fully functional. Off-road tires (31 x 10.50) are in great condition.
This Willys came with the optional super-low gearing in the differentials (5.38 : 1). So it’s got plenty of torque to climb up and over all sorts of stuff. It comes with a service manual, bikini top, and a few other accessories. For more details or questions, call Mike at 619-459-5929.”

I’m happy to report dad has some kind of blood infection that a couple antibiotic doses seem to have solved. It’s amazing how big a difference that made, turning him from a near zombie into his normal self. So, another crisis averted. Onto the next one.
Ask and ye shall receive (another crisis that is) . . . for as I rejoiced over dad’s sudden turnaround this afternoon, I checked ewillys on my phone in the hospital room only to discover my webhost has once again suspended my account (3rd time in a year) for a database spike.
So, if you wandered over to the site and found the subtle “ACCOUNT SUSPENDED NOTICE”, that’s why it was there for about 5 hours today. And when they suspend it, they suspend it all. Everything gets turned off, including my email and my access to fix any problems.
The support folks at my webhost have convinced themselves that I understand some of the esoteric details of mysql programming, despite my emails to the contrary. Over the past few hours, emails have been exchanged in which I indicated that I could neither replicate the problem nor understand exactly what the problem was. Their response is ‘you have 24 hours to fix the problem’.
I’ve concluded it is kind of like working with the Idaho DMV (see post below if you don’t understand that reference) . . .
UPDATES will start about 9:00ish pm PST.
BTW, if you wander by the site this weekend and it is down again, it’s because I’m moving the site to a new webhost.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was no price.
(04/06/09) This might be it good shape. The rims/hubcaps aren’t easy to find.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s jeep. It has all the original metal body parts and there is no dents or rust. The body is in great shape, interior is also in very good condition, good motor and transmission and transfer case.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600
(05/30/2011) The body is fiberglass and the engine a 258.
“A real head turner! My jeep is a 53 willys body on a 78 cj7 frame. The body is all fiberglass, so no rust. There is an 1984 six cylinder 258 engine. Original engine (an older 258) was replaced with this 258 three years ago. Guy I bought it from said it was rebuilt 25000 miles ago. Has the carter 2bbl carb. Has a T150 transmission. Transmission was checked over last year. Shifts very good in forward gears. Does grind when you put it in reverse but only if you do it quickly. 4 Wheel drive works awesome. Has lockers on the front rims. The tires are 35″ BFGoodrich All Terrain wheels. The rims were painted in april of this year. Brand new custom made bumpers were installed in march of this year too. Jeep is a short wheel base car so if you turn sharply while going fast you are guaranteed to roll! That being said, this jeep has never been rolled. There is so much more that can be said about this jeep! The hood is the only odd thing on this jeep. The guy before me either hand made this or cut something up. Its all fiberglass, is a bifold, and is clamped down but the center flaps up and down while you are going at fast speeds. I have an original 53 cj2a hood that I will include only if the car sells for the asking price, other wise I can resell it.
In the 6 years Ive own this jeep I havent driven it more than 2000 miles and thats being generous. Has been garage kept. Previous owner owned it since it was put together. He was also a welding teacher so a lot of things are welded, like the roll bar to the windshield (which is metal). Only selling because Im moving to a house w/ a smaller garage and have to sell one of my toys.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(04/06/2011) This owner is selling to pay for school. To be blunt, if you read the description, you’ll agree that’s a good idea.
“i have a 1943 WW11 jeep willys for sale. iv rebilt it frum the ground up frum the body and the hole power train all rebilt. but over the time i was driving it around the house the water pump went out and it cracked the head but i put a new water pump on it all it needs is a new head. the moter runs amazeing and it off roads grat every thing works but it needs the brakes bled. it even has a 50cal bulit hole that i didnt fill in with my welder. and i have uther parts like, a nuther moter and tranz and t cace, two genaraters, carb,bellhouseing, frunt and rear drive shafts, engein block, and a rear diff with leaf springs. im saleing it cuz i need the mouney for school so i would like 4500 but im open for outher off’rs.”
