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 old image of a transport truck Blaine spotted. He saw it at Just-a-car-guys website. I also found another image there as well.
Robert spotted this deal. This runs and has a plow. Looks like a great price.

Bob pointed out a discussion regarding a 1962 CJ-5 for sale on eBay. You can see the original post about this jeep at the CJ-2A page.
The original ebay ad text is shown below. After a few days, the story was changed and you can view the new version of the ad here: View the ad here
“Hello, Ive listed this jeep on here before it always came within $500.00 of the reserve but never sold. So I have lowered the reserve price hoping that it will go to a new home! Ok, Heres what i know about the Jeep It was bought by an retired Gen. back in 1962. He bought it new becauseHe thought it was the Idenacal Jeep that (Patton) was killed in duing the war! Now this has been disputed here in the last couple of days! When I pulled it up on a Google search it did say that he was killed in a cj-5 Jeep? But who really knows? Ive had several e-mails that totally agree with this and some dont.Im only 48 so I dont know? Anyway He later died and it went from collector to collector. When I purchased it here in Fl. My daughter was Just sixteen working on the beach. She could never get the hang of the shifting so I took it to a Jeep expert here in town and it started its three month change over to an automatic. I still have all of the original rear end, three speep trans. clutch and the presure plate. Also I have the gear box and the drive line for the front axle. I left this out on purpose so that my daughter would not be tempted by going down on the beach with it. Anyway, after several months she was leaving work in the jeep and four men in their early twenties started commenting on the jeep and how they wanted it for themselves. So as she was pulling away from them they grabbed her and tried to pull her out of it to steal it! Luckily she had her seat belt on and they couldnt! Needless to say she ran one of them over and took off! After all of that she was pretty shook up so I bought her a new car to drive and the jeep has been sitting in storage ever since. And that was last Aug.15th. I have gone over and started it about every six weeks. The last time was this last week end. Ive been told by several people that this jeep is very rare and if put in the right place and person that it would bring up to $30,000. But im starting it at $12,000 and (No Reserve!) so what ever it bring is what it brings! I do know that it is alot of fun to drive and if taken care of it will last a long time! Please remember that it is 48 plus yrs. old! Good luck! and enjoy.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Brett spotted this nice jeep. It sure looks nice for the price. The front springs are reversed as expected. The updated rear springs seem to be pushing the rear axle forward a bit.
“This jeep is priced to sell. Great condition. Custom roll bar, four inch lift, original four cylinder, 31 inch brand new tires and rims, and BRAND NEW TOP. Must see. Note: 2nd owner, no highway miles first owner had it sitting in storage. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250
(10/02/2010) I’m not seeing the typical rust around the doors.
“1957 jeep fc150 forward control willys x cab truck 4×4, very rare truck, all there except motor and trans, perfect projest truck, is in very good condition or this year and so rare of a truck, you wont find another one this good.”
This is a project, but if the body is in good shape, it might make a good project.
“1969 Jeep Willis, clear title, runs great. We have all the parts to the jeep but a couple were taken off so that it could be primed. Jeep is in great shape. 985-969-1781 or 985-969-8341”

UPDATE: This likely sold. Was listed at $1800.
The updates haven’t been kind to the value of this flattie. I’d like to see some pics of the ‘original Ford flathead’. And yes, there really is a town named Howey in the Hills, which seems appropriately placed along Little Lake Harris!
“This is a 1946 Willys Jeep. The goods. It has the original Ford Flat Head four cylider engine and a three speed transmission with a high and low gear (granny gear). The engine runs good and starts right up. It comes with many extra parts including two spare transmissions, a service manual and a clean Florida title. The bad. Needs brakes. It has some rust but it is a solid vehicle. I’ve owned it for two years and it has been kept in my garage.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
Though advertised as a 1953, this doesn’t look like a 1953 M-38A1. It’s either a combo jeep or a later model CJ-5.
“Old Willys Jeep Runs Great, 4X4 works Good, NO BRAKES, Needs restored or can be used as a hunting vehicle or Mud Buggy. Needs floorpan work, has patch panels in it now. A little rough around the edges but restorable, Would be a good conversation piece if you own an army surplus store I guess. Would consider trading for VW Beetle or Bus or any pre 1981 Car or truck, No tools, No Boats, No Motorcycles”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was on eBay.
The hydraulics on this are interesting, including the rear PTO shield.
“SELLING MY FARM JEEP WITH 12,000 ORIGINAL MILES. HAS FRONT PTO WINCH, HYDRAULICS FOR FRONT OR REAR TO USE FOR LOG SPLITTER, SNOW PLOW, REAR MOWER ETC. PURRS LIKE A KITTEN, TWO OF THE PICTURES SHOW THE PUMP UNDER THE HOOD AND PUSH PULL KNOB ON DASH FOR THE HYDRAULICS. HAS HAND THROTTLE WHEN USING THE PTO’S. I HAVE A FAIRLEAD FOR THE WINCH BUT WILL NEED REPAIRS ON IT. ABOUT ALL THE ELECTRICAL WORKS. FRAME IS NICE AS SEEN IN ONE OF THE PICTURES AND BODY HAS RUST BUT STILL HAS LOTS OF LIFE IN IT. LEAKS A LITTLE OIL, THATS ABOUT IT. I’M LOOKING FOR A POLARIS RANGER OR M151 MILITARY JEEP. IF YOU MAY HAVE ONE. I’M 40 MILES NORTH OF COLUMBUS, OHIO NEAR PROSPECT, 43342”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $4500
(11/7/2011) Is part of the back bumper missing?
“Nice older Jeep

Clean title
