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 $6300
This a beautiful jeep with a most unusual feature: The body is aluminum.http://www.ewillys.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

FRAME OFF RESTORED….2361 MILES SINCE COMPLETED…V-6 3 SPEED MANUAL 4WD…CAN BE SEEN AT RIVER BENZ MOTORS.
UPDATE: Still Available.
If the seller really has 3.56 gearing, I’d like to know more about the tranny. I also wonder if the OD trans is really a warn OD? Seems a bit redundant to have both 3.56 gearing and the OD. Toledo Or is west of Corvallis, Or, almost all the way to the coast. Given the location, I imagine the seller will have to drop the price.

Brian found this good deal. Here are Front and Rear Lockers that appear to be still in their boxes. There’s a review of PowerTrax No Slip Lockers at Rockcrawler.com.
“#9204302700 powertrax no slip traction lockers. FRONT AND REAR. i bought these for a 1946 willys with original danas, sold it before i could put them in. OVER $800 NEW. WILL FIT MANY MODELS.”
Jim, take it away and thanks for sharing!
So I got a call today, woman says she has a1953 plow jeep she wants to get rid of. She said her deceased father, a mechanic, owned it for more than 40 years and used it to plow his business etc. When I hear plow jeep, Im thinking piece of rusty crap thats been worked to death etc. I have a driveway thats 1/3 of a mile long and I will need a plow this winter so I went to take a look.
Man, was I shocked, a completely (except orange paint) original 1953 CJ3B, 6 volt, uncut, runs great, has brakes, chains on all four studded tires, nice original seats, 15″ stock wheels, no rust to speak of, super straight, soft top frame with a tarp over it, still has the snap in carpet kit. Some one had obviously loved it for many, many years. Under that layer of dust is a really nice jeep and after a long heart to heart talk, its now mine for very little money!
I brought it home and tested it out. Everything works great, brakes, heater etc but there is a weird knocking on the engine, seems to come go at time so Im thinking someone dropped a bolt or something into the carb and it is knocking on top of a piston. I will know for sure when I pull the head in a few days but overall it is in excellent condition. I couldnt tell you the last time I bought a flat fender with a full on complete snap in carpet kit, very cool!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
This looks to me to be a CJ-2A. It runs, but doesn’t stop well. It’s got some rust issues.
“1944 Willy’s jeep – $1800. For sell 1944, not sure of the year, Willy’s jeep. No title available. It has a flat head strait 6 motor. No brakes, 4 wheel drive works and runs perfect. ”
This looks good.
“Jeep is in excellent running condition. Remanifactured carb. New brake wheel cylinders and new master cylinder. Relined gas tank. Engine and transmissions in excellent condition. Military tires with spare. Many new parts.”

I’m gonna guess this was a CJ-3 with a MB/GPW grille. It appears this might have been at least a decent jeep at some point.
“selling body as whole, or sell fenders, hood, windshield, grill and radiator seperate. call for any question @ 480766-0402. all for $1,000 or make a offer!!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200.
This looks in good shape.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep, 4-cylinder, 3-speed, recently tuned-up, 32″ tires, chrome rims, full-cage rollbar, front and rear tow receivers, new 12-volt battery, electric wipers, front stabilizer shock, rhino-lined inside, WILL CONSIDER TRADE FOR TRUCK WITH PLOW.”
It looks like this might clean up pretty nicely (for the buy it now price of $1,395).
“This is an awesome original example of in all original condition with everything there. It was taken out of service due to charging issue in 1997 and stored. Can be road ready with very little TLC or do the complete restoration. There is light surface rust at the roof gutters, rear wheel openings but other than that it is a very nice California Willy’s. I have a number of projects going and have to move my shop so it must go.”
This seems like a very nice CJ-5 for a pretty reasonable price. There’s a long list of new and rebuilt parts put into this rebuild.
“1955 Willys Jeep. Has undergone a frame-off restoration. Here is a list of items rebuilt or replaced in this 4 year process: …. The Jeep has been parked for the past year. It has appx 300 miles on engine. Contact Scott at 575-910-5020”
