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 .
These looks like a good price.

This might be a good parts jeep. The windshield and frame look good.
“NO TITLE. 1949-51 Willys Jeep CJ-3A. Last registered in 1988. According to the guy I bought it from, it was being used for pulling a brush hog (mowing) until recently and the last registered owner was in the West Texas (Abilene) area. Jeep is intact with good windshield, headlight bezels, grill, hood and other parts. Also, engine is dis-assembled but appears to be complete. It is a flathead 4 cyl. As you can see, all tires are on the vehicle and hold air; spare is also mounted on the side and appears that it is new, although weathered. Plenty of good parts available; transmission and transfer case; engine; front and rear axles; tow bar and rear step with trailer hitch, and a PTO. According to my internet research, this was specifically built as a farm use vehicle, hence the PTO and what appears to be a belt drive. I bought this from a friend who became disabled and needed the money, but I have too many other projects to take on this one at this time. Questions? e-mail me.
This looks solid and has some body dings for character.
“Regretfully, I am selling my 1942 Ford GPW Jeep. This authentic WWII beauty is registered and regularly taken out for a jaunt around the neighborhood. The floor boards are solid and the brass plates are all intact. Keep it as is for a head turning, open air cruiser or turn it into a priceless father son restoration project. I am asking $6000. Send me a message for more details or to see it in person.”

(08/23/2010) Here’s a nice looking flattie.

Sam, from Flatfender Willys in Colorado, mentioned a few months ago that he figured out how to easily install an off-the-shelf Rack & Pinion into a flattie. He’s installed over 10 of these over that past few years in various rigs with great success.
A number of readers asked for more information. However, Sam chose to delay the information so that he could work with the maker of the R&Ps to develop a Rack designed especially for Jeeps — from old flatties through Wranglers.
What you will see below is the protoype built by the company that Sam has installed into Craig’s CJ-3B. These are early pictures of the process. Once Sam finishes testing this prototype, they’ll be available for sale.
1. This first image shows the Rack tucked neatly under the cross member.
2. Here is an underside look at the setup.
3. Here’s a look at the 7/8″ tubing (I think I have that right). The basic Rack was originally designed for a 4000lb truck and then was modified for the Jeep to insure it was strong enough to handle a variety of situations.
4. For the typical installation, you’d leave the stock shock mount (if you have a mount there), and cut the plate flush with the frame. Otherwise, you can just bolt the plate into position. In this case, Sam had made a change to the suspension and moved the mount down.
5. This image shows that the Rack has an even lower profile than the stock system. Note how far lower the stock system extends.
6. This image shows the 1/2″ plate to which the Rack mounts. shows the Rack doesn’t extend far outside the frame.
I don’t know anything about this particular jeep except that it is called the “Dixie Flyer”. It seems to be a modified MB with a ‘Courier’ sign in the front and some modifications to the fenders. It also appears to have a gas tank on the passenger side (I think that is what is sticking down under the passenger?). I found this image on the European Center of Military History’s Blog.
UPDATE: Was $2000. **SOLD**
