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 .
This looks like a strong build that includes various stainless parts.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
My only experience with a 400 was the one dad installed in our motorhome. That motor easily moved the motorhome along with a trailer with my on the back of it. I can only imagine that much power in the jeep itself!
“This a nice jeep, we have owned it for about thirty years, it has a 400 SB chev eng. runs great, only selling because we don,t use it anymore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6300.
This looks good.
“1952 Jeep Willy…V8, runs ok. New tires,new full roll bar .. Blue, no rust or dents .. Some small scatches..Always garaged..Only driven about 50 miles in the last 3 years, never off road…Will take 1st best offer..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This looks in good shape.
“1949 Willys Jeep in great condition. Only a small bit of rust on the undercarriage. Otherwise the Jeep is in outstanding condition. The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner and always starts easy and runs strong. The roll bar and front and rear bumpers are custom made with a detachable tow bar and receiver adapters for winch or other uses. All tires are new. The transmission and transfer case both work well and appear to be original. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volts and has a GM alternator. All lights work and backup lights have been installed for general use or field dressing game animals. The brakes work well, but the master cylinder leaks. It has not been registered since 1999, but can easily be registered as an antique. I have not owned this Jeep very long and really don’t need it, however I have enjoyed driving it and it’s more fun than an ATV.”
UPDATE: A reader got this on the cheap.
This sounds like another one of th0se “I parked it in the woods years ago and left it there because…” stories.
“Have title for this Willys. Flathead, 4 cylinder. Hi-lo range. Undercarriage, motor, running gear. NEEDS BODY! Hasn’t been driven in 15 years. Make offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
I’m pretty sure this is a fiberglass body. ACME continues to sell fiberglass, metal and aluminum flattie bodies, as noted below.
“This was a project that never got finished. It has a Buick 231/ turbo 350/ Spicer18/ dana44 with 5/38 gearing/ Summer brothers axils/ aluminum wheels. The body (tub, front fenders, and grill) is an acme with minimum rust. Also comes with a two piece windshield and extra grill (small headlight), windshield wipers, extra u-joints and back seat Asking 2000.00 or best offer.”
Here’s a pic of an ACME glass flattie body. Note the lack of tailgate. You can still purchase these at ACME for $2500:
ACME also sells metal bodies (steel (Early MB, MB, GPW, M-38, CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B and even a mini slat grille) & aluminum), though none I see come without tailgates except for the MB bodies, but those have the normal mb characteristics.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(03/28/2010) There’s been a number of updates on this flattie.

This may have a Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear.
“It runs and drives has a soft top the motor is a 350 Chevy it has a 400 turbo auto tranny the running gear has been up graded to a CJ5 the paint is in great shape, this is a nice project for the self restore”
It’s not a complete jeep.
“jeep is a project and not complete it is missing a grill, and moter . jeep is also in pieces price is fairly firm but bring a trailer and cash and go home w your new jeep.”

(04/17/2010) How about those tires? I have never before seen those tires.

Comes with dessert track tires and a set of 13 plus paddle tires. Has bucket seats, roll cage and KC lights. For more pictures please email.”
UPDATE: Tom noted that this is no longer on KSL’s Website (and I confirmed it). I can only assume it sold, but that seems like a pretty quick sale given (only listed one day) the price.
Brett found this mostly stock CJ-3A.
“Completely Rebuilt inside and out. To many extras to list. Very Clean”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.

This might have been listed previously, but I can’t locate it. It looks familiar. This has a great old winch.
