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.
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.
Seems like a good price.
“1946 Willys jeep ex sand drag racer set up for street legal. This vehicle is show condition. Can be used for show, off-road or even street rod. Upgraded to small block Chevy, turbo 350 transmission, front disc brakes. Lots of chrome and polish. I have to many vehicles and must downsize.”
Is this jeep still available?
Hi Tad,
I just checked Craigslist to see if it had been relisted, but it hasn’t. I suspect it sold and have updated the post. If I see it relisted, I will drop you an email.

Wow. I want it
I purchased this willys and It has been a nightmare from day one. The engine was shot and leaking oil from the timing cover. The main and rod bearings were worn down to the copper base material. I rebuilt the engine to the tune of $2000. The seller had the underbody steamed cleaned just before I arrived to buy it, so I could not see the leaks. Who ever installed the turbo 350 used household window, clear silicone to seal the pan. It leaked. The trans needed to be disassembled to clean the silicone balls from the valve body. $500 fix. The dana 20 transfer case wae sealed with the same silicone and leaked oil everywhere. Another $500 to disassembled and resealed. The two diffs had 4.88 in the rear and 3.93 in the front. Another $700 fix. The willys looks better in person than the pics shows, but mechanically it was total junk. I hope to have it back up and running this summer…..
Hi Rich,
So sorry to hear all of that!
I once bought a Buick V6 engine that was supposed to run, but the seller suggested that I rebuild the engine just in case. I pulled off the heads when I got home and #1 cylinder turned out to be full of rust and some debris. In fact, the crankshaft spun some (as the seller demonstrated), but the kicker was that the crankshaft didn’t spin all the way! Lesson learned for sure!!!
