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 $1650.
The paint looks rough, but the body might be in decent condition.
“1948 willeys cj2a , 6 volt, 4 cylinder, rebuilt trans. new brakes and rear pto good running condition”
UPDATE: Rich reports that this sold today for $1400 on 4/1/2010.
“Selling a stock 1957 Willys Dispatcher Jeep. Flat head L 4cyl. motor with 3 speed transmission. If you are familiar with the DJ3A you know that it would have been a 2 wheel drive, column shift jeep. This one was converted to four wheel drive with a T-90 transmission and transfer case. The Jeep starts instantly, moves and shifts perfectly through all 3 gears plus the 4 wheel drive high and low operates with no problems. The brakes work 100% however the brake lights and turn signals do not. It will need a windshield, tires, rocker panel repair, and floor repair. The L head motor has the original 6 volt system with a generator that charges as it should. There is a cabin heater under that dash with a variable speed electric fan that works perfectly. The seats are in pristine condition and may actually be original. The original Data plate is on the firewall and the frame numbers match. The odometer reads just over 28,000 miles. I have a clear PA title in hand and have driven the jeep down the road at 45 miles per hour. It does need work but is a great foundation for restoration.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(05/15/09) “Great Classic. Comes with gun racks, game carrier new tires and camo paint. I’ve had the Jeep for over 25 years. It has served me very well. Almost everything on it has been redone and it’s ready to roll. OPTIONAL – custom made crow’s nest tower blind – $1500. I also have a new (still in the box) 9000lb Warn winch with cradle and wiring – $600.”
You are likely unfamiliar with the Willys Jeep WWII J-8. Constructed in an underground bunker in Los Alamos by the same scientists who constructed the Atomic Bombs (they needed something to do on their days off) during WWII, this unique piece of WWII history wasn’t released until decades later by the folks at Chrysler. (ok, so I made that last bit up — hey, it will be April Fools on Thursday — but I didn’t make up this Ad).
“Custom World War II Willy’s Jeep Army Edition J-8 Lookalike. Why shell out over $50K+ for an authentic Military J8 that you cant drive on the road when u can get this 4 door version for tens of thousands less? ….”

“1952 Willys Arctic Top Jeep. It has a good running Buick V6 from a conversion 15 years ago. It has a 3 speed manual T90 with Dana 20 t Casr. Dana 27 closed knuckle front axle and a 44 in the rear , both have 5.38 gears. Hudson steering conversion. It runs and drives good. Big 11″ drum brakes and A GREAT HEATER. Custom so it actually throws heat. SHE IS NOT PRETTY. made as a hunting rig so it is reliable and driveable. Top comes off in 15 minutes or so. OLD SCHOOL build all the way. Great rig. In the last year it has been driven to the Tricities and back. It is in Ellensburg now but I will drive it back tomorrow night. It is that good of a rig. Primitive and Jeepish. Trades: The only trades I will entertain would be an enclosed trailer 6 X 12 Minimum in size or a Honda CR500. Maybe a Supermoto if its got a plate. Thats it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950
It looks like 1 1/2 parts jeeps, but this may be a good price if the body isn’t too bad.
“Two Jeeps, one complete 49 CJ3a with clear tittle. Engine is moisture locked, but didnt run when it turned over. Drive train is fine, clutch, trans and tranfer case all functional,solid frame and body. The second unit has no body, but a complete running gear and motor. This motor has been been rebuilt with many new parts and a 12 volt system, but is also moisture locked, this frame is solid and has a complete PTO with shaft.”
UPDATE: This is now listed for $1900
(03/11/2010) Brett spotted this. It has been patched a bit, but it sounds like it still rambles around well.
“This is a 1947 Willys Jeep it runs and drives awesome. The 4 wheel drive works great it is a 3 speed manual. The interior has been rhino lined doesnt look bad. The gas tank has been moved to the back behind the seats. All the lights work. The tranny shifts smooth. The body doesnt have rust wouldnt take long to be ready for paint. The hood is not original it was made looks pretty good. The windshield is plxy glass. The tires are 31″ and are about 75% tread on them. The jeep has been up at the cabin since 1993 stored in the garage used in the summer. The motor is a Chevy 6 cylinder. The oil pan does leak but would be an easy fix. This jeep would be a perfect hunting vehicle or pull behind your motorhome or whatever. It does have the hitch on the front for pulling it around. If you have any questions feel free to call me 801-821-1464 thanks. If you do win the auction i will need a deposit within 48 hrs of the auction. Shipping prices will range from $300 to $800 depending on your location. I will help with loading of the jeep on a transporter if needed just let me know.”

(03/22/2010) It runs and drives (the seller is getting it a tune-up). It sounds like the body might be rough. No pics, but it this might be a deal.
“Tan Jeep in ok condition. will be doing a tune up on it over the next few days and that should cure the problem it had with starting. once it starts up the vehical runs strong and works well. it comes with a new, in the box wiring harness made specifically for this vehical from Kaiser Willys that I never got around to installing. let me know if you’re intersted and we’ll get a time set up to look at it. also email me if you want pictures. it was buried in the garage when my roommate cleaned up last weekend so it will take time to dig out. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(03/23/2010) This looks like a great restoration project for someone not looking to do an entire project at once. Note the owner has a notebook with the original documentation about this.
