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 .
I thought we’d seen this one previously. It uses a latch system to secure the tail gate. Looks like a good build.

I thought this was interesting due to the aftermarket dash and the doors. I haven’t seen the dash used very often in the M-38A1s or CJ-5s.
“I haven’t been able to post pics. But I have some. The jeep needs in my opinion minor body work. It has a dodge fireball v6 engine that runs. It has hydraulic pump and lines that run a very powerful wench. With a little work this WILLYS could be rock climbing or cruising in no time. I’m selling because it was a project me and my grandfather had been working on but we both don’t have much time for it and he needs some money and I want to put some money down on a used Harley.”
This might make a good restoration project. It has an interesting dash mod for the gauges.
“All stock except for 12 volted wiring. Runs good! Strong engine, 4×4 works, new upholstered front seats, full roll cage, 31″ tires, with no rust or body damage.”
“This Jeep has been totally restored from the ground up. It has a Chevy Vortec V-6 motor from a 96 Trailblazer with 30,000 miles on it. The new approximate milage on the motor is 45,000 miles. The rear axle is fully locked and the front axle is controlled by the ARB air locker. It has a 10,000 pound Ramsey winch on the front. The interior floor has been Rhino lined. It has a removable face Marine CD player/Radio with Marine Speakers in it. The Jeep Also comes with a Bikini top. This vehicle isn’t a commuter vehicle it is geared to low for highway speeds. It has a top speed of about 55 MPH.

This has some unusual features. No shortage of dash switches. I can’t tell what’s painted on the hood. The hubs appear unusual.
“I have a trick 1952 willys jeep running but lots of extras don’t know much about it but enough to know its worth $10,000 at most
call 209-586-0264 if interested
or text 209-588-3602”
UPDATE: Still Available. I didn’t realize how unusual the dash was on this one.
“51 Willys with 3.8 Liter Buick odd fire V-6, saginaw manual steering gear, 2″ lift Rancho springs, Confer shackles, back seat, Best Top bucket seats, Tow Bar, dual exhaust. This is a project that needs finished. It has sat for 10 years. motor started but carb has stuck float and leaks, pressure plate is stuck to flywheel. Wiring needs work. Not a driver you can tow it home with the tow bar. After 10 years I have come to the conclusion I don’t have time to work on this project. No trades, cash only call two zero six two two seven 9037”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on Craigslist. No price provided.
(10/08/2013) Some serious money was spent on this build.

Marc forwarded this ad. Since the wheel base of this rig was longer than the standard flatfender body & front clip length, this builder ‘stretched’ it to fit by extending the cowl sides and adding a piece to the hood.
