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 .
Gerald found two more pics Ron May’s Jeep, which show what can happen when you drive off course. You’ve seen this first one.
Pete spotted this upcoming suction on the Discovery Channel’s Auction Kings Show. Turns out, the episode is on the web. It was also for sale here for $20k.
My question is, does the auctioneer have any fiduciary responsibility to be honest? Because, to say “this is restored perfectly” is simply dishonest. On the other hand, the seller didn’t know what they were buying, so they shoulder some blame for spending $16,000 (plus any other fees) on this one. It does look great, just not as historical as implied.
Some unique customizations on this nice build.
“This vehicle is titled as a “1946 Jeep”(which would technically be a CJ2a) but has been built with a new Willys GPW steel tub as well as Ford running gear. Windshield is from a CJ3a. This was a custom build to replicate an over the top version of a GPW jeep. It was done professionally and is in incredible condition, mechanically as well as cosmetically.
Engine: Ford 302
Transmission: Ford D5
Transfer Case: Dana 18
Axles: Dana 44 front/rear
Edelbrock 1405 4 barrel carb
New Genuine Jeep Willys metal Tub, with fiberglass fenders.
Gorgeous Paint, soft top is in good codition, but leaks through two small gaps in front. I don’t drive the vehicle in the rain so it never bothered me but the one time I got caught in a Seattle summer rain storm.
Lifted with 35″ Tires on Aluminum Wheels
Custom Bumpers front and rear
Frame is painted a nice Burgandy color. See pics.
Other:
The vehicle has heat. Two heaters, actually. One under each seat.
The vehicle has working turn signals. All gauges work.
Other goodies:
Optima Blue Top battery
Mallory ignition system
Mileage: About 8,000 miles since resoted. I drove the vehicle on a 250 road trip and it did great. Vehicle tracks straight down the freeway at 60 no problems.
Vehicle is 100% new or restored. Beautiful example of a restored Willys.
Note: I am a collector, not a mechanic. I have owned this vehicle and have had no problems with it what so ever. This vehicle is is terrific running condition. Everything works on the vehicle to the best of my knowledge.
Other: Vehicle has three paint flaws. See last three pictures below. They are VERY MINOR and are NOT on the body of the vehicle. The one on the interior windshild is not rusted, it looks like it in the picture, but it is not. The body paint is gorgeous and only has a couple chips on the door sill where your foot would hit getting in and out. Pictures speak a thousand words. Vehicle is being sold as-is, where-is. I will help arrange shipping on this side, but you’re responsible to get it to you and to pay for any shipping charges. There is no warranty on this vehicle express or implied.”
UPDATE**SOLD** Was $3000.

(10/24/2010) It’s got some rust, but drives.
“1948 Willys, 32,721 +/- on the odometer. Guy who had it before me parked it in his garage thinking he would do some body work. Sat for 12 years. I got it thinking I needed another project vehicle. Wife decided I didn’t. Dumped some gas in it earlier this summer and it fired right up. Drove OK but brakes need work. Tires are good including a spare on a matching wheel. Looks to me like everything is there with the exception of a seat-bracket and seat. The lights/trim wipers, steps, etc are in a box. Body has some rust (see pictures) but the frame and drive-train look solid and straight. I have a clear title for this jeep. With a little elbow grease this winter I think this has potential as a fun summer ride. Asking $1,100.00 but would entertain any serious offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1650.
It is a project.
“I have a 1957 Willys CJ5 Jeep project. The Jeep has an inline 4 cylinder F-head 134 cubic inch engine matched with a T-90 3 speed manual transmission. It also has high and low range along with 4 wheel drive. The Jeep is currently somewhat tore-down, the half-cab is off along with the hood and both fenders. The engine and transmission are still in tact to each other and still mounted to the frame. The engine runs good but may need some carburetor cleaning. I just don’t have the time to complete the project. Thanks for looking”
