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 .

“willy’s 1958 military jeep. i also have bought a new hood, 2 fenders and bunch of other parts for restoring that. goes with it. 2000.00”

This appears in good shape. It looks like it has a Spring Over.
“283 Fuel injected. Runs and sounds great! Large fuel cell, flow master, dual exhaust. Clean Title. Eager to sell make an offer.”
The top looks good and it comes with a warn winch. This might be a good price.
“’59 Jeep Willys 4×4, 4 cyl, 3 speed, runs good, new top, has off road lights, comes with Warn 8000lb 8274 winch. head gasket just replaced, needs radiator installed. I have radiator. $1500.00 OBO serious inquiries 205-504-2970”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550
Here’s a project. Are those hubs on the back? It might have a full floating back end.
“1948 Jeep Willys a project to finish or willing to part out. Has an iron duke motor with less than 35,000 miles on it. Selling for $550 or best offer. Make a good enough offer, we can’t refuse.”
This Jeep has some personality. It’s a bit beat up, but I like it.
“This is and old Jeep that has been in the family for about 30 years and has just been used on private property to stay out of the weather when hunting which is great and push snow. The engine is the 4cyl. Hurricane with 3 speed manual trans. It starts and runs but has been sitting for some time and will need a tune up and the pinion seals show some leaking. The electrical system is the original 6 volt but starter has been rewound for 12 volt. Generator does not work but alternator does. Snow plow is homemade but does the job. The odometer shows 63827 but stopped working long ago. A water line can be seen but that was years ago and is dry at this time. With this said it would be necessary to trailer home and do some TLC before being roadworthy. I have a clear Missouri title in my name that will be reassigned over to you with a bill of sale. You can email me at floods@earthlink.net Thank you Duane.”
Here’s a pretty good price on a very nice Jeepster.
“Stock – original – complete • 4 cylinders, 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive • In storage for the last 20 years • Complete mechanical restoration done by professional mechanics • Have all receipts • Excellent interior • Converted to 12volt • New Cooker tires • Excellent mechanical condition • A lot of fun – drive it anywhere • Call (415) 710-1898”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500
(12/03/09) It’s unclear what 10% still needs to be done on this project.
“1947 jeep CJ2A 90% restored runs grate would make a nice 1st car or toy to hit the beach or hills with.”
Here’s an example of a restored Ford GTB Bomb Truck that is for sale (see unrestored one below).
“I am posting a Ford GTB Navy Bomb Truck up here for a friend. He is open to reasonable offers over $8,000. The truck was completely restored and looks very sharp. If you would like anymore information you may contact Randy Lamers at Lamersann@wmconnect.com”

Dan forward me this Craigslist Ad — neither of us knows anything about them. Someone has got to be looking for these. These look like they’d make an unusual project. (see a restored version above)
“I have 3 GTB Ford / Burm Jeeps for sale. 2 US Army cargo and 1 US Navy bomb truck. One cargo has incorect bed other has correct bed. Would like to sell as package. Email for questions.”

Paul made good progress recently with the radiator installation. I’ll let him explain …
Paul writes, “During the past few days I’ve been busy scrounging metal, making parts and playing with the welder but the end result is the Willys has an M 151 radiator installed along with a V type firewall to radiator brace and a hood hold open rod. I also picked up my new radiator from the local military surplus yard in addition to a used shroud and the necessary lower mounts. The new radiator will reside safely in the house until it’s time to be installed after I quit taking things apart for modifications and redesigns but the size of this radiator is just about perfect for the room available under the hood. I’ll have to spend some time at the local autoparts store mixing and matching coolant hoses before the engine is plumbed to the radiator and I also have to go shopping for a low profile electric fan (a puller is what I’m hunting for) but both of these tasks can be solved with reasonable amounts of money so I’m feeling pretty good with my progress so far. ”
