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 $2500.
(08/21/2013) This has some unusual mods.

UPDATE: Still Available
This has the ‘Fresno’ modified windshield. The passenger side tank inlet is unusual. The body is fiberglass.
(04/23/2013) “Project Jeep, Fiberglass body, fenders and hood – no grill . Comes with second stronger CJ3A frame, also comes with 4.3 liter Chevy V6, T90 transmission, ands D18 transfer case. Everything’s here for a nice small Jeep.
Please be aware there are two spots over the rear fender wells and one over the cowl that need some fiberglass repair. If you’ve ever done body work with Bondo this isn’t much different. Please contact me with any questions and I’ll respond as quickly as possible.
Does not have title, but can supply bill of sale. This vehicle has been off the books in California for more than 25 years. Comes with VIN plates. If you’re affraid of doing a little paperwork with your local DMV then this isn’t the Jeep for you. Priced lower, because I don’t have the time.
Will need grill and radiator.”

The seller would prefer to sell locally. I’ve seen this listed elsewhere.

This jeep has got the heightened custom windshield
“1947 Willy’s Jeep This has a 1956 motor in it, front tow bar, soft top & bikini top, removable doors. Runs good. 406-822-2061”

UPDATE: There were two bids. This sold for $1556. It was a public impound auction held on eBay.
The most interesting item on this jeep might be the plates. The serial number is #12718. This has the taller windshield, but split, which is unusual. The soft top door has a rather large window, too.
“$145 lien sale processing paperwork/listing fee will be added to winning bid.
The following is a lien sale auction. We are a public impound facility and this vehicle was towed under the authority of the Oakland Police Department and has been unclaimed. The vehicle is being auctioned to satisfy our lien. Since this is a Lien Sale Auction, there are no license plates with the vehicle. The winning bidder will receive California Lien Sale Paperwork in order to register this vehicle and receive title.
This lien sale auction is being held pursuant to California Lien Sale Civil Codes 3071 or 3072. All vehicles are sold with no guaranties or warranties and are being sold to satisfy A & B’s lien. The purchaser is solely responsible for necessary repairs to insure compliance with California and federal standards. (see ebay for more info)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Check out the paint job on this jeep. Also, the windshield glas is extra tall. I think this might have been a very nice jeep at some point.
“Runs and drives, 4wheel drive woks fine, Hurricane 4cyl engine. Hood and passenger seat not pictured but I do have them. Passenger seat needs to be redone. Its a great starting point for a great rig. I thought I’d have time for it but I don’t”
UPDATE: Was $7600. **Status Unknown**
(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 is an amazing machine

4×4 high and low
Warn M6000 winch
4.3L Chevy V6 completely rebuilt
SM420 transmission
538 gears front and rear axles.
Full roll cage

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(08/15/2012) Take a close look at the pics of this. It’s unusual. I like the body work on the hood which more tightly fits the old mb/gpw grille. It appears to be a CJ-3B body. I’ll bet completed this might look good.
“1948 CJ3B Custom Off Road Body(solid) Built like a tank!!The back corner of the frame is bad but can be welded. The rest of the frame is fine. 255 Buick V-6 Motor. Runs and drives. Been sitting for 2 years but all body work is done. Just needs paint. I hate to part with it. No time to fix it. Needs to be put back together. $3000 or trade o/b/o.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
(06/05/2012) Here’s another of the nice flat fenders with the unusual top and expanded windshield. Looks very nice. I’d like some better pics to compare with the others, like this one and this one.
