About eWillys
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.
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 .
Tim, from willysjeep.com, shared this Valentine message. You can download the full-size image from his site. He’s hoping to collect more old willys cards for holiday enjoyment. Tim also let me know that he has an agreement that will allow him to share some more great content.
Dean’s got this beautiful GPW for sale. He also has a variety of parts for sale as well, including ” a bumper, wheels, gauges, radiators, grills, tailgates, and windshields and more”, some of which are shown below.
It runs, but has to be compression started. It’s got the tool divets.

This is not running at the moment. The seller did have two of these, but must have sold one.
“1963 Willys Jeep CJ-6 for sale, $1700 OBO. This jeep was running last year, but no longer has the engine. It still has the radiator, T90 transmission, Spicer 18 transfer case, Dana 25/Dana 44 axles, with a lock-rite locker in the front axle. Colorado title. Rust in typical places (driver’s side floor, hood, rear corners, tailgate). Additional pictures available on request.
If wanted, I can include an early CJ5 tub with the CJ6 purchase (no extra charge). This would be for donor pieces. The firewall and some hat channels have been removed from this donor tub. Pictures available on request.
What is a Jeep Willys CJ-6? Well, they are a pretty rare Jeep. About 50,000 CJ6s were made total. Some people like to make these into trail rigs because of the ability to move the axles closer to the ends. They are exactly like a CJ-5, but are 20″ longer in the middle. That is pretty much the only difference.”
“This old Willys was origjnally owned by the city of Templeton, IA. I bought it about a year ago from a farmer who used it just around the farm, mostly to give his kids and grand kids rides off road. It started and ran when I got it, but was not dependable, reliable or street legal. I’ve done a lot of work (documented) to this old Willys here in my shop to make it safe, reliable, dependable, legal and most of all fun. The 6 bolt system and all of the original wiring has been replaced with a complete 12 volt system with custom wiring throughout. It has dual tail lights with license light, park lights, turn signals with dash indicator and working self cancel, horn, 2 speed custom (CJ5 parts) wipers, 2 speed custom heater blower motor with defrost tube, interior lights and a 12 volt power receptacle under the dash for what ever ( I use it to plug in my phone). The original seats have been replaced with new cloth covered seat assemblies from Vanderhaag truck parts. The passenger seat has been adapted to fit the flip seat bracket to allow access to the floor mounted tool box. Seat belts are a set of dated Simpsons out of my old race car. The rear facing functional flip fold CJ5 back seat sits atop a custom built frame and has retractable seat belts for 2 out of an old K5 Blazer. The top is in excellent condition. I put it on new last year. The 4×4 works excellent. In LOW LOW this unit will go just about anywhere. I’ve had it off road in the mud, snow, dirt, sand, up and down hills and then right out onto the road and headed for home. There’s been alot more done to this old Willys, including rebuilt park brake, new fuel tank and sender, belt, hoses, wires, plugs, carb rebuilt, custom installed CJ5 roll bar, etc, etc, etc. It’s not beautiful.”
When Paul isn’t working on his Stainless M-38, he travels Alaska repairing airplanes. He often brings along his camera and he recently sent me some of his pics. Here’s 3 images by Paul that caught my eye. Paul didn’t send any names to accompany his images, so I’ve presumptively added by own names:
This might just make a good restoration project. It even runs! Much of the rust appears to be surface rust.
