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: Price dropped to $3000
It’s probably a bit much for a non-running project.

You’ll remember we first met Dan and his CJ-5 from his discussion of his Hudson Steering to Saginaw Swap.
Dan has provided us with some additional coverage of the resurrection of his Grandfather’s jeep. This might just become a series :-). Besides, I’m a sucker for anyone will to take the time to breath life into the family jeep. There’s plenty of people who would have junked this CJ-5. Thanks for sharing Dan!
Dan writes, “One of the great things about a Jeep project is that you can work on all the little things while you save up for or look for those parts for the big jobs. Here is a brief look at some of my smaller repairs. First, here is the project Jeep. A 1955 CJ5. [editor’s note: the front shackles were reversed on this CJ-5 which produced some understandable discussions about whether this was actually a M-38A1. Clearly it’s not :-).]
Starting with the gas tank, after cleaning all the surface rust off of the gas tank, I discovered a series of little holes. Now you can easily find an after-market steel or plastic tank, but for about $5 I may be able to fix it.
Here is the gas tank all cleaned up and patched with epoxy (JB Weld). If it works than I saved about $100. If it doesn’t work, well then it didn’t cost me too much to give it a try.
UPDATE: These are no longer for sale. I keep this post just for ideas.
Jim writes, “I’m tired of not having anything out there anymore for Willys. For example, the only replacement seats you can get for an early Willys are either military or black vinyl. How boring! There are no more bikini tops of any variety – everyone pretty much runs the same boring top. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This is a nice looking CJ-3B, but what’s going on with the rear springs?
“1964 CJ3B Jeep runs & drives – 4X4 works – has F134 motor, an extra transfer case, and a metal top with doors. Will take $3,500.00 OBO.”
This jeep has a variety of upgrades, though it’s having some difficulty with 2nd gear.
“I am selling my cj3a to make room for my other projects. It has a 4 bolt 350 chevy with an sm420 truck 4 speed, dana 20 t-case, dana 44 rear end and stock front. Brand new 33.12.50 BFG mud terrains. Completely rewired with painless harness. Needs brake work and the rebuilt 4 speed still has trouble shifting into 2nd. Does run and drive (I drive it to work on Friday’s and weekends). Call for more info. Jason 720-275-8121”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
“1948 FLAT FENDER WILLYS. 350. 4 SPEED. roll cage. 427 gears. 4 wheel disc brakes. on board air. spare tire carrier(gas cans). 2 fuel pumps 1 electric 1 mechanical. a 8274 warn winch. duel flow master exaust. LOCKED FRONT AND REAR. TOW BAR. LIST GOES ON AN ON”
UPDATE: Was $2995. **SOLD**
The seller lists this as a 1953 GB2. I thought that was a mistake until I did a search and discovered that this probably means this jeep is part of the second round of serials numbers for CJ-3Bs. In other words, it’s a pretty early CJ-3B.
“1953 Willys GB2. B style so room for new engine. 12 Volt System. Valve stuck in the original flat head. Tranny, lock outs, and diff good shape. Good wheels and tires. I don’t have time to rebuild. Great project. Licensed as collectable. $2,995 or BO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s the first jeep I’ve ever featured from Puerto Rico and what a beauty it is.
“For Auction Beautifull 1960 Jeep Willys, it has been in the family since new, only one owner. It was recently restore by professionals. Everything in great working conditions.
UPDATE: A reader provided some pics. He notes it’s in pretty good shape, but the seller is ‘a bit difficult’.
“Solid jeep stored indoors,no rust built in tow bar, v/6 buick engine,plenty of power,asking 2000.00 obo call mark at 480-217-1386. has license plate and i have a clear title.”

Here’s a very nice looking 1942 MB (or is it a GPW?) that a reader spotted in Boise a couple days ago.
