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 $2300.
(06/12/2012) For the price, it looks like a solid runabout jeep.
“Runs and drives great.. mostly original …great shape..1962 with good title. Also have soft top at a good price

UPDATE: This sold quickly.
The front frame rails have been heavily reinforced. You gotta love that ‘hardtop’. Despite this, I think there’s some value
“Excellent running 4cyl converted to 12 volt 5ft plow, 4sp frame good would make nice plow truck also has 3 point hookup on rear, 16 inch tire with chains.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks like a fine price.
“Willys jeep , runs great, body is straight, and it also has new tires.”
The seller lives in Alaska but is trying to sell this in Los Angeles.

I guess this jeep was used to back into hunting areas, hence the cammo is only on the back.
“260 NAIL HEAD BUICK MOTOR-RUN’S GREAT. HAS BILL OF SALE, BUT NO PAPERWORK, NOT STOLEN JUST HAVEN’T HAD THE TIME.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600
These don’t appear too often.
“Bestop Jeep half cab soft top, purchased in 1970’s, still new in the box. Fits Jeep cj2a, cj3a, cj3b, cj5, m38, m38a1. Includes original instructions with measurements, black top, full doors and hardware. Jeep collector item.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Steve notes that this still has the column shift mechanics, though it also has a floor shift.
“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A that I bought from a customer of mine. Her husband bought it brand new and I have only driven it to town a few times. The gears are good and tight. It starts just fine on the 6 volt system. The Heater still works and I think they are kind of rare. When I bought the jeep She said that it had not been started for over ten years. After inspection I found thick oil in the oil pan so I removed the pan and cleaned out the old oil before trying to start the engine. At this time I took pictures of the cylinders for inspection. Two of the cylinders have marks where the rings sat over the years. The cylinders will at sometime need to be honed out to remove the small ridges which you can see in the pictures. After I had the carburator cleaned and we were able to start the engine the water pump had to be replaced with a new one and I put a new belt on at that time.
I have driven the jeep around while hunting and totally had a great time. It is like going back in time and looking at the scenery a little longer because you are traveling a little slower.”
There’s some value here.
“For sale 1957 Willys Utility with plow. Removable hardtop and doors. Needs restoration. Engine not seized and will run. Plow is in operating condition. Cash offers are entertained, I know what its worth so please have a reasonable offer. Call 518-674-0675 and leave a clear message and phone number. I dont have time to restore so am parting with it.”

UPDATE: Still Available
(01/21/2012) This is worth a closer look. The seller only wants to deal with people in person.
“This is a fully original 1949 Willy’s with clean title, civilian model with 12volt electric. Jeep has extesnion on back that can be taken off to reduce price. This Jeep has been great around the ranch and does need some body work. 16″ wheels but can trade out for 15″ both with desent tires. Breaks and front wheel cylender rebuit. Runs well just needs tinkering like any 1949 Jeep. Will take seriouse offers. No shipping, No dealers, In person only!!!!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150
This looks like a good price on a half cab that needs some work.
“Hard top for sale. Pretty old. Glass is good. Steel is straight but needs paint. Window cranks work. Latches work. Looking for $150.00 or best offer.”
