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 .

https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/d/classic-flat-fender-jeep/6723627172.html
“Registered (non-op currently) as a 1967 due to a motor swap, this Flat Fender Jeep is actually a 40’s or early 50’s Jeep Willys. The motor is a Chevy 283 V8 from a 67′ Chevelle. This Jeep is full of goodies and smog exempt. After owning her for more than 10 years (Originally a bachelors toy), it’s time to find a new home as there’s little room for kids & dogs in a Willys. One guarantee, This Jeep makes people smile, especially children when they see it. Like a big bright yellow Tonka toy. It’s also a blast to take to classic car shows as it’s always one of the oldest vehicles in attendance and often the most unique (not just another hotrod/muscle car in the lineup, and the only on that can go OFF the highway).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Runs.
“1951 Willy’s Jeep. Brand new tires and wheels on it. Runs good. Sells with a bill of sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500. Tim pointed out that the body may be fiberglass and I think that’s a good bet. The fenders are fiberglass.
This might have a DJ-3A body (with a few mods).
“Runs and drives very well. Awesome off-road vehicle a lot cheaper than a side-by-side. Good brakes exhaust etc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

(08/20/2018) Needs head gasket.
“RIGHT PHONE NUMBER THIS TIME.
Sorry to anyone that tried to contact me about this Jeep. I don’t know how but somehow I posted the wrong number.
1949 Willy’s Jeep. Decent shape. Rust for sure but it is still there. It has the 4 cyl. Flathead “go devil”. Just put a new head gasket on and found that piston 3 does have some damage to it. Engine still runs as is. Looks as if the prior owner took out the damaging piece and ran it. Then stopped cause the head gasket developed a leak into cylinder 2. Other downside is that the starter is not shooting out to engage the engine and turn it. Bright sides are many though! It has a in tact windshield, brand new tires, a recently gone through trans and it has been converted to 12 volt! Granted whoever did it used only red wires but still, that’s a 400 dollar conversion. Also all the gauges work or seem to!
Got the Jeep on a trade and though it is cool, I have a off-road rig already and really need the cash. Only trade I would entertain is a car hauler. 18′ or more with drive over fenders.”
Runs. Needs windshield glass.
https://eastoregon.craigslist.org/cto/d/1949-willys-jeep/6712487490.html

“I got a 51 Willy’s jeep and comes with a parts jeep also ..the running one has the Buick 6 cylinder in it. Has 5 33 inch super swampers on it with a spare .. runs and drives need some tlc carb needs tuning but it’s all complete has extra heads and tran and transfer case and other stuff that comes with parts jeep will need to be trailed home . asking$6000 obo .”
This jeep was formerly in the Portuguese Army, according to the seller. Most surprising to me is that it has a passenger side gas tank, but not a driver’s side tank. I also has a 2A windshield for some reason.
http://www.sellajeep.com/mjs/sale18/adm384/adm384.html
“This vehicle was at Portuguese army service from 1950 to 1964. From then on, it has been in the hands of private collectors. It works perfectly and its in great shape. The vehicle can be shipped to anywhere from its current location in Lisbon, Portugal”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500. Contact the current owner if you have information on this build (See the comments or email me at d@deilers.com).
This has a custom aluminum body. Note the round cargo-area wheel well in the last pic.
