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 .
Here’s a Jeep Rod that needs completing.
“This would make a nice hot rod for someone who has the time to build it. Asking $4000.00 o.b.o. Call (928) eight one two – 4815 for more information.”

“I am selling my 1949 Willys Sedan Delivery Panel Truck. I have owned it since 1986. It has sat in my garage all these years waiting for me to redo. I started it up last summer and drove it around the block a few times. It has around 25,000 original miles. All Original. It has aftermarket wheels on it now, but I have the Original Rims & Hubcaps. I am asking $15,000 O.B.O. Email me for more pictures, Questions or to make an Offer. I will accept all offers for consideration. My name is Lou.”

(08/22/2010) Here’s a cool looking Ratrod Wagon.
“THIS IS A NICE RATROD.ON A 1990 S10 FRAME V8 CHEVY WITH 350 TRANS.MOTOR AND TRANS HAS 10,000 MILES ON THEM .480 LIFT CAM GEAR TO GEAR TIMING HEADERS FLOW MASTERS.YOU CAN DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE.15 MPG LOTS OF NEW PARTS NO P/S OR BRAKES OR A/C ”
UPDATE: This now lives on the East Coast. I got to examine it up close at the 2013 Bantam Festival. The work is excellent. It was bought for $9000. It has more of a surrey look to it now.
I used the IMCDb.org site to attempt to locate an image of the jeep to the right from a shot in the movies. You can see a DJ-3A from Blue Hawaii (not a very good shot). Or the same shot enhanced and cropped to the left. Here’s a link to a shot of the Nutty Professor’s DJ-3A.
This flat fender (the one on the right) falls into the ‘unusual jeep’ category. Apparently, it’s a movie star!
“ALL METAL AND 1,885 POUNDS.

UPDATE: Now listed on Craigslist
(05/12/2010) Dave spotted this Rod. The auction closed, but here’s some pics and info. That header doesn’t appear to have a muffler or cap of any kind.
“up for auction is a 1949 willys jeep pickup. it has a buick 350 with an auto trans and fat man front independent suspen. gm rear end runs and drives great lots of custom made parts very cool truck. back in the day when i learned to drive on the dirt roads of Kansas there was no such thing as a Rat Rod…..we had old farm trucks to drive…..we didnt know we where starting a trend of patching together a pile of parts so we had something to drive to keg parties and to school….this truck is a old FARM TRUCK that i pulled out from under a tree and spent a year of finding stuff to put it back on the road and i have a ton of fun with it BUT the time has come to let it go….if you are bidding on this truck you are bidding to own it….please contact Bob at 402-270-3484 thank you for looking and happy bidding”

UPDQTE: **SOLD** Was $18,500.
I’ve spent a good chunk of time in Watsonville. I built a ballet studio there. I actually danced in a Nut Cracker Ballet during that period, too. That was for ex-wife #2. Hmmm … Let’s talk about the truck instead …. Here’s a beautiful truck. Check out the bumper in the last pic.
“47 Willys Pickup; 327; 4 Speed; 4 inch chopped top; 6 inch extended cab; power steering; new upholstery; sprayed on bedliner; driven 200 miles since completionk; $18,500 OBO;”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Here’s an unusual flattie.
“1947 Willys Jeep body mounted on a Chevy S-10 2wd chassis. Front power disc brakes. Chevy 383 stroker motor with roller rockers and forged domed pistons. Turbo 350 trans. Runs and drives great. Needs lights wired and windshield to be street legal. Lots of new parts. I have a title for the Willys Jeep. $2500”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Here’s an aluminum flattie body on a modified Ford Bronco chassis. As I mentioned in a post last week, the vented hoods are very rare. I’m not sure if that’s aluminum or steel.
“Unique aluminum bodied CJ2 Jeep. This is a professionally built for off road, but very streetable CJ2. It is a real eye catcher. It features a highly modified 1974 Bronco chassis with 4 wheel disc brakes, dual master cylinders, urethane bushings, power steering, trans. cooler, power steering cooler, etc. It sits on, like new, 35X10X15 Goodyears. Power is supplied by a fresh 351w ford with edelbroch manifold and newly rebulit edelbrock 4 barrel, connected to a modified c-4 trans.and headers. It is an older construction, but is done right! I prefer cash, but will consider a trade for a nice cj or wrangler or ? and cash. ”
UPDATE: Was $13,000. **SOLD**
(06/16/2010) Here’s a beautiful truck. Moreover, this is the truck the previous owner used to tow his 1926 roadster to car shows.
“My father passed away last year, but he left an extensive car collection behind. Up for auction was one of his last projects, a 1948 Willy’s pickup Resto-mod. My dad purchased the pickup about 3 years ago and completed the modifications 3 months after that. He painted the truck with a Satin black finish with hand painted flames. It has 360 C.I. putting out roughly 300 HP with an automatic transmission. The interior has been re-done with new headliner, carpets and seats ( red…see photos ). The gas tank has been modified and sits in a galvanized steel bed.
I am not an expert on this vehicle, but my dad was maticulious about his cars. In the last 6 months we have had to sell most of his car collection. All paperwork and history of vehicle modifications has all been kept on this pickup. Great running daily driver, in fact my dad used to tow his 1926 Roadster to car shows with this truck.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Here’s a cool, custom 4 door truck.
“What you see here is a 1948 willys crewcab custom conversion, the back doors are suicide mounted. The conversion was done about 10 years ago and has held up very well. The interior has a stock bench rear seat, with a storage well beneath it. The front seats are cavalier buckets(grey) that do not match the buckskin on the rest of the interior. The truck has been on the road for the better part of decade and needs some freshening (to your tastes). The drivetrain is a Fresh rebuilt 454, .030 over with .500 lift cam and big oval heads, has performer intake with new performer carb, headers and a light porting on the heads. This thing is a tourque monster! will burn the tires at will.Tranny is a turbo 350 rebuilt approx. 2000 miles ago with a shift kit and billet internals, transfer case is np205 gear drive with 1350 rear joints, 1310 front joints. Front axle is scout 2 with disk brakes, rear axle is ford 9” 31 spline with spool, both are geared 3.73.Body exterior is painted flat black with a ton of custom pinstriping and paint work, looks like it has been tattooed!Paint is about 5 years old and has some issues (passenger rear door opened up at 60 mph, cracked a little but held up well!) but is still real good looking , especially if you like the rat rod look.Only reason its for sale is to fund a new project.Happy bidding!
UPDATE: price dropped to $6000
(07/15/2010) This is one of those odd title situations — I can understand on a non op why an owner might delay getting a title, but I don’t understand it on a vehicle that is driven around …
“1960 Willys wagon, 2 wheel drive. Converted to a bone stock Chevy 350 V8, auto trans & Chevy 10 bolt rear end, (not a Mickey Mouse job). Has “I” beam front drop axel, rack & pinion power steering, drum brakes all around, BMW wheels, new tires, tilt front body, new carpet, FM CD player, reverse arched front leaf springs, lowering blocks in rear, surf boards & racks, redwood headliner, dual quiet Flowmaster type mufflers, electric & stock engine fans. no leaks anywhere! Temp does not get above 160. Runs like a champ! This is NOT a show car, but what a blast to drive! I have the title, but it is still in previous owners name. It has been signed off and I have bill of sale from him. I will also give bill of sale. Tags good through Oct. Question? Please ask! ….. Please email me through Craigslist or @ www.stevierayvon@aol.com. I will get back with you as soon as I can. ..Located in Lakewood, Ca. 90715. Thanks”

This is a great looking Wagon … but who actually appraises vehicles and why don’t the know what they are doing? I mean, it appraised at $19,000? That is nuts.
