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 .
A reader emailed these pics today. There’s a variety of creative ideas on a jeep that’s been thoroughly rebuilt. My personal favorite is the spring plate solution, seen on this first pic. I’m going to make me some of those spring plates this winter. Also note some of the storage solutions as well. Thanks for sharing pics of Red Dog!
“Just thought I’d ad my 3a to the many great ides on your site. Mine is a ’50 3a body and frame with a 225, t90, d18, D30 and D44. Everything is modified.”
UPDATE: Bob also snapped a picture at Phil Nelson’s Place in Columbiana. You can see it below.
I’ve never been there, but these are some great pics of the place from Gerald.
“A small display outside of Phil Nelson’s place in Columbiana Ohio. It is truely a treasure.”
Speaking of Bob, he has created a calendar he calls Broken Down Heroes. You can see some of his images here http://www.ewillys.com/?p=14615 and more here. You can get the calendar from a variety of sources, including Calendar.com.
The images span a range of vehicles likely trapped in their final resting place. Of course, there are a few jeeps sprinkled about his photographs.
It’s been modified some and beat up some as well.

This may be a good price considering a recent rebuild.
“1959 WILLY’S CJ5 JEEP EXCELLENT RUNNING ORDER WITH MINOR RUST MAJOR OVERHAUL 6000 MILES AGO ON THE ORIGINAL HURRICAN “F” HEAD 134 CID ENGINE”
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/1479657179.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2450.
It’s missing the lights upfront. It looks complete and original.
“1953 M38A1 4×4 jeep. Runs and drives. Rebuilt transmition and transfer case, 24 volt ignition system. This jeep is mostly original and would make a good restoration project as it has all original components in good shape with a solid frame and very restorable body. All parts for restoration are still available for this jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This is non running, but loks in solid condition on the outside.
“Ive owned this Willys for 15 years. Its not been driven and in storage for the last 10 years. From South Dakota. Has some rust . but not like most of these you see. Not modified, Orig flat 6 motor. Complete, everythings there, Will need some work to get it back on the road due to long term storage, Motors not locked up, but brakes are from sitting. Most all of thses you run across are shot and not worth messing with.This is a complete . orig wagon. have more pics, Price is firm,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Yeah, it needs some work, but it’s got a nice, old look about it.
this old jeep is complete its been sitting along time…everything worked when it was parked and had $1000.00 worth of front end gears and etc etc done to it…whats it worth….i dont know mutch about it except the 89 year old guy who told me to sell it has had this for many many years”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $500 — I love this one.
(08/30/09) What’s this chain drive? There’s no transfercase. I’ve not seen anything like it.
“1947 Willys Jeep. Fold down windshield frame (Has Willys Script) . Has a chain drive set up on transmission. Full time 4 wheel drive. 16″ Wheels. Has custom foolproof brake setup on transmission, instead of on the wheels. Has a rebuilt 1978 Ford 2.3L 4cylander. I dont think it has been fired since rebuild becuase it has no spark. I Believe it needs a new distributer. Has VW radiator with electric fan. Nice swivel bucket seats. Tub is solid. Everything has been reinforced. I bought this from an old master mechanic that did alot of work to it, and then it sat in his garage for many years, without ever being run. No paperwork. DOES NOT RUN! A GREAT PROJECT OR ALOT OF GOOD PARTS!! Needs to be finshed, i have too many other projects. It would be a great hunting rig when running. Better/ Stronger than a fourwheeler, and still small enough to fit on trails. $500 FIRM. No Tire Kickers. Call 882-1505 if intrested”
