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 $5000
This CJ-3B started at $8000 this summer and has just dropped to $5000. It looks like a great price on a very nice, stock looking CJ-3B.
“For sale 1953 Jeep please call for more details.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks like a great rebuild.
“This auction is for a 1953 Willys Jeep CJ3B. We were asked by a friend of ours if we could list it for him so here is the information that I got from the owner. The Willys has a new reproduction steel body. 4 CYL “F” head motor, 3 Speed Manual trans, high and low range 4 wheel drive. The vehicle has undergone a complete frame off restoration. The motor has been rebuilt, trans and transfer case gone through, front end, complete brake job, Interior, etc… There is only 310 miles on the vehicle since the restoration. He has a reciept folder totalling just over $9,000 in body and parts alone. This is not counting the labor at all. Everything appears to have been done quite nicely! Jeep runs and drives great as it should. He does not have a top but from what I understand, these are availble at a reasonable price. The only reason he is selling this is that he is starting a restoration on a original millitary Jeep and he is going to use the proceeds from this sale to help fund the project.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,5000.
(10/12/09) Lots of mods on this flattie.
“1984 Buick V6, SM420 4 Speed manual, Dana 44 axles, Mosier shafts, 4:88 Spicer gears, Dana 18 transfer case, Detroit soft locker front & rear, new Painless wiring harness, t:h steering, power steering, 8,000# Warn winch, new Best Top, Newer 35″ GY Wranglers, 4 wheel disc brakes, racing buckets seats w/ Simpson belts, Tuffy console, CD, original steel body w/ fiberglass hood, $10,500. Miller’s US 31 Sales, north of town,”
Here’s a wonderful build, an experiment by a reader named Chad. He wanted to know what a Ford Model A Roadster would look like if Willys built it. So, naturally, he built one himself!
He writes, “Did all of it myself except the upholstery, in my home garage. It’s got a flathead V8 for power and took between 6 and 8 years start to finish. The dDrivetrain is flathead V8 adapted to a C-4 automatic adapted to Dana 18. Front axle is Dana 27 w/Corvette discs….rear is Dana 44 with one piece axles and Lock-rite geared 4.27. I thought maybe it would be a four year job, but stuff happens and there was a whole lot of headscratching to make things look ‘somewhat factory’. I used as many factory parts as I could but not necessarily the way they were used ‘by the factory’…..(those are Jeepster tailights, but they aren’t mounted that way on a Jeepster, just as an example).”
Great work and thanks for sharing!
This looks like a solid build.
“Rebuilt ’46 Willys cj-2a. new brakes, rear axle, clutch, transmission, gearbox, exhaust. 24000 miles on odometer. ’74 buick jeepster engine inside (V-6). fiberglass body. No room to store it anymore.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5650.
This looks in good shape. I wonder how the appraised value was determined.
“For Sale: 1957 Willys 4WD Utility Wagon. Daily driver until garaged for the winter. T-90 trans./Spicer 18 transfer case. New radiator/ New rear Springs/ New interior. Currently powered by a Ford 4.3L 4-cyl. Good trim. Good tires. Good brakes. Shows well. Appraisal value of $6750.00. Some extra parts. See pics. $5650.00 or Best Offer”
This looks like a nice restoration.
“Fully restored 1953 Willy Jeep $8000.00 OBO”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.
“I have a 1947, Willys flat fender 4×4 Jeep that ,due to circumstance, I am looking to trade toward a great running, registerable, vehicle, of equall value. I am a mother of three, and I currently have two vehicles that ,together, don’t add up to fullfill my needs. My Willys has a new paint job, dana 44’s, rancho suspension(front&back), fiber-glass tilt front end, roll cage, full tow package, power breaks, power steering, and more… I Hate to part ways with our jeep, but, a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do”
UPDATE: Price raised to $3400
(12/04/09) This looks in great shape for the price.
“Neat little Jeep…fun to drive…V-6 – 3 spd – 4×4 works good – Clutch, transmission & brakes good. It hasn’t been abused or rusted out & I haven’t found any bondo repairs.
I have another project and need room in my garage. My loss – your gain. This is probably the best buy for the money in Oklahoma City. I might consider a pick-up as a trade, but nothing needing paint or repairs. I don’t need another project. Tom … 405-722-0818 or Cell: 405-606-9515.”

Gerald sent me a pic of the Jeep Truck Rod below. After some searching, I found some others. There’s a great thread with various Jeep Rod photos as well, one of which I show below. I suspect this is the first of several Jeep Rods Posts as I suspect other pics will pop up based on the few searches I did this evening.
Here’s a pic from the Jalopy Journal Site:
