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 .
The dash on this is unusual.

“Full custom, ground up build with new store bought high-end parts! It is registered and in my name as a 47 Jeep even though the whole thing was built new just a few years ago. There has been absolutely no expensed spared in this Jeep. Body is a very well built and thick fiberglass body, never to worry about rust issues again, ever and it has no cracks anywhere, it is so thick that even the hood close with a thump! The frame is a late model Jeep frame, boxed and reinforced throughout.
Engine is a 350 Chevrolet 4 bolt main, steel crank, forged pistons, decked, lined bored and balanced. Cylinder heads have been completely gone through including larger valves, springs, retainers, studs and roller rockers. Quiet Gear drive, with a mild street cam for long hours of idling. Aluminum radiator with temp controlled electric fan, never gets hot even after running all day. Electronic ignition, hooker headers, chrome or aluminum everything possible on the engine. Transmission is a professionally built power-glide automatic with a manual shift valve body, aftermarket transmission cooler and heavy duty torque convertor, this transmission is bullet proof. Drive shafts are new with heavy duty u-joints and retainers.
Front and Rear differentials have I believe 4:11 gears, been too long and cannot remember, disk brakes in front with Warn hubs and large drums in the rear. Wilwood master cylinders with steel braid throughout. The chassis has an aftermarket front sway bar that is easily disconnected for trail riding and full oscillation. Power steering with remote reservoir make the huge Mickey Thompsons turn easily. The suspension springs are, medium duty in the front and I have two sets for the rear, both included. At the moment I have extra firm springs in the rear for dune driving, in an hour they can be replaced with the extra soft springs for trail riding. Dual shocks (Chrome) in the rear and single (Chrome) in the front. Steering linkage (Chrome) is very tight with absolutely no play at all, this Jeep drives very well and tight going down the road.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Nice build.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(10/07/2016) It’s not running. It looks to have a Buick V6 with an Edelbrock dual plane intake. It’s not clear to me what the hydraulics were for (not much need for a snow plow in Clovis). This does have the aftermarket dash (I’ve yet to find an ad for it) and half doors, similar but not quite like the harris Dura-Door (seen below). They were made in Bakersfield, so that explains why they are seen on so mostly California jeeps. Here’s an example ad:
Now for the ad:
“Jeep Willys does run. Body’s is in decent shape. I bought as project but ended up getting another project (a Harley) and can afford to do both so I’m selling the jeep. It will need to be towed because it has no brakes. Well the brakes are there but they have been sitting for years. It has a engine swap some kind of v6. New battery. Carb was just redone by CADs on Fresno. Needs lots of tlc. But is a really cool jeep. I’d be willing to sell or maybe trade for small truck or Harley parts and cash. My
Bike is a 98 Dyna FXD so I need Evo parts. Like a pumped up engine. In no rush sell and need no help selling. Jeep is on non op.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,900
(03/29/2015) Has some unusual customizations. The Dash and windshield are both altered.
“Facts: Engine – Chevrolet 350, 3 speed w/ overdrive, winch, air compressor, 28 gallon gas tank, micro lock brake system, power steering, radio/c.b., 2.5″ body lift, 33″ tires, custom paint job. Custom everything around ever corner of the Jeep.
The gentleman whom I bought this Jeep from a year ago really did a fantastic job. He stripped it down and rebuilt it part by part while fabricating along the way. He was a true craftsman. It’s a head turner and random people will be asking you questions or giving you thumbs up on every drive you take. The straight pipes really sound amazing. Why am I selling it? There is too much going on in my life at the moment and I simplifying a bit.
If you’re interested or have questions, shoot me an email. No joy riders or bums. Bums with $ – ok!”
