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 $1200.
Here’s a running CJ-5 for only $1200. The rims look a little unusual.
“1959 jeep willys cj5. 4cyl 3 spd runs but needs brake work. Original hard top and both doors included.”
These are the first stainless 1/2 doors I’ve seen.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(11/21/09) Lots of upgrades to this jeep. Not a bad price. There are some minor issues the seller lists on the craigslist ad.

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $1500
This looks like a great price!
“1951 willys pickup in good shape call for details.1500 obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
The seller indicates they have lots of parts. The price is $1500, though I don’t know what that price covers.
“This is for the serious jeep builder dont waist time com see what you need we have parts of all kinds hoods,fenders;running boards, cabs,motors ,and much more cal for directions 208 462 2906 .This is just one of many complete bodies. for sale”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850.
It includes an Overdrive. This looks like a good price for it.
“1955 Willys M38-a1 for sale. $1895.00 It has Warn Overdrive, 134 F head. Runs but smokes some. 20 gallon stainless steel gas tank with electric fuel pump. All 12 Volt with Ford alternator. Had to sell to my wife to a buy a new Welder. She wants to sell it to put money back into savings.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7800
(12/28/09) Here’s a modified CJ-3A.
“4.3 Chevolet Vortex fuel injected V6, TH350 automatic with 700R first gear, D20 transfer case, D44 rear end with pos., D30 front end with new drive line, New power brake unit from Jets, Power steering with flaming river shaft, Flaming river tilt wheel, New brakes – new brake lines – new wheel cly.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Note that the front end appears lengthened. That looks to be a tilt fiber glass front end, though I don’t remember seeing them looking that stretched. The body might be a M-38 body as I see some tool indents on the passenger side. The front end has some warn hubs similar to what you’d see on a 70’s CJ-5. This might be a pretty good deal and an interesting project.
“this is a 53 willys it runs great it has been converted to a 250 inline 6 so the front frame has been lengthend 6 inches , it has oringinal axles tranny and transfer case, i also have a bihimi top for it with doors, it runs super just looking for a cj5 or 7 1500 obo or trade for???”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(11/30/09) The seller has two other old jeeps, yet can’t say what year and model this is? It looks in good condition.
“Old Willys Jeep- 4×4 WW2 body style- Runs and drives good. Currently have two old Jeeps and I need more garage space”
Many thanks to Tim from the WillysJeep.com site for sharing these unusual images. He notes he has many more. I suspect over the next few months as the site grows it will become an important library of information. Thanks Tim!
The timing of these photos is fascinating, as early 1959 was the ending of the Cuban Revolution and the assumption of control of Cuba by Castro. Based on a few searches I just completed, it appears Fidel was a fan of jeeps and there are multiple references of him riding in a jeep.
And, in the last photo, that is Fidel himself.
Here’s a pic I’d like to get. After recieving the pics from Tim, I did a little research. Here is a video of an image of Fidel and Che Guerva posing in a Jeep in April of 1959. Unfortunately, I do not understand what the narrator is saying.
