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 .
This has a nice cage and a PTO winch.

(08/28/2012) This has the expanded windshield mod. There looks like some nice cage work done, too. I’ll bet this was a Fresno area jeep at one point.

“This 1947 Jeep Willys was purchased in 1986 and has no title. it does however have a colorado VIN inspection and was cleared. it can be titled in any state … just needs some paperwork done. the VIN inspection and a bill of sale which i will provide. it was used very little for hunting on private roads so it wasnt titled in colorado. it was a project my grandfather wanted to do 25 years ago. it runs great has a Buick V6 231. it has chevrolet steering. the brakes work … just need to be bled as it has been sitting in a shed for some years now but i have been running it and with some TLC it will be a very nice vehicle again. we have a spare tire for it but it was flat so it is at the repair shop now being fixed. buyer accepts responsibility for shipping or pick up. we deliver vehicles anywhere, $1.50 a loaded mile”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
This includes a Warn/Saturn overdrive. It’s a project.
“I have a 1951 willies jeep it is the shortest jeep made. It has a Chevy 350 engine in it that was rebuilt not sure on the exact mileage but the miles are low It has a spool in the rear end The body is in fair shape given its age The previous own wanted to get rid of tail gate to give it a smoother look a used a lot of bondo so the bondo is chipping off It had the original trany and t- case behind the 350 motor and ended up cracking the housing So I found a 4 speed trany and a t- case for a Chevy 350 to put in it Just need to put it in have some drivelines made and give it a tune up and it will run I’m asking 3000 obo. This is a great project and dont think it will last long Also have half doors”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
This runs, but needs brakes. The roll cage looks good.
“V6, 231, 4 speed, M21 Muncie, runs good, need brake line.”
UPDATE: **SOLD ** Was on eBay
“Nice frame off resto back in 2000- 2004. Only has 4400 miles on it now since build. Everything is new or rebuilt. Rides great at 65mph with 35s, not like most jeeps. It has 1983 toyota axles front and rear and the front half of frame is all toyota and toyota power steering. toyota front seats with covers. It has a fresh sbc 327, 4 speed with a np205, full soft top, 5-35 inch kumho venture tires, 8k ramsey winch, lock box with cd player, all gauges lights wiper heater work, really nice paint, full cage, speakers in rear, back seat turns around so u can sit backwards and shoot…. Its a fast fun reliable willys jeep. Indoors all its life, driven on saturdays and at car shows only, hasnt been offroaded.”
This may be a rare DJ-6, though it’s had some work done to it.
“I’ve had this jeep for a few years and am moving back to the beach to a place without a garage to work on it. It’s a little rough around the edges but i drive it all over. It has very little rus for a a California jeep, the corners where the feet are and the front fenders are all that have rusted through spots. It is a factory 2 wheel drive but I have almost everything to make it a 4×4, has a Buick 231 v6 which a prior owner put in to replace the original 225 v6. I put on a new holly carb, 4″ lift, 33″ bgf km2s, all new steering joints, shocks, all new accessories, edelbrock intake, headers, glaspacks, had the turbo 350 auto transmission rebuilt, cv driveshaft, 8 point roll cage, fuel tank, fuel pump. It starts right up and drives reliably every time. On the down side, it could use a new motor, it has a little low compression on one cylinder and burns oil, the wiring is all funky but it works, the brakes start to fade with lots of use and the steering is loose. Some of this is due to 4 wheel drum brakes and an old, crazy way jeep did their steering back then. I’ll throw in a set of 3/4 ton gm axles (corporate 14 bolt, 10 bolt without brakes), extra driveshafts, 5 complete 12 bolt, 8 lug, 37″ HUMVEE wheels with good tires and 2 extra rims. I also have an extra transfer case if you want to run a left differential axle. I also have a tow bar and lights I’ll throw in if you want to tow it. With a little time and knowledge this will be a truly and awesome jeep. As it is I can’t go anywhere without people stopping me. As you can see I’ve got way more in to this than I’m asking. $4k is an awesome price for this project so I’m firm on the price. The only trades I will consider are for a 450+ street legal super moto, a beat up but rideable full size harley, or possible a 71 model chevy truck or blazer. This is a very rare jeep and finding a project like this that you can actually drive home in is even rarer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a nice looking jeep.
“This jeep has always started. it is in great shape for its age. always kept indoors. It has a top, heater, wench, hubs, AIR lockers, airtank, reciever hitch, welder, two fuel tanks, duel exhust, great tires, rear seat, roll bar, camping rack. new extra best top. Has just about everything to rebuild the engine (new in the boxes) I was going to rebuild it 20 years ago but the jeep still purrs. I have had the jeep for 40 plus years! There is a small dent in the back where a trailer tounge hit the back. I drive it only a couple times a year. I noticed some oil leaking out of the hubs. There is a tear in the passenger seat. Been sitting too long. Everything works. I can get off a four wheel drive road, get on the freeway, use overdrive and cruise at 65 mph. Been a great jeep. Miles may not be accurate. I would like to be payed within 7 days after auction. I think it best to contact me and we can make arrangements for payment and delivery. We can possible deliver the jeep for a fee.”
