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 weekend Chris McKay, aka MInnesota Chris, will be heading to Salt Lake City with a trailer, then up to Sandpoint, Idaho. If you need something shipped, he might be able to help you out. contact him at Nscustoms@hotmail.com.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
This has MB/GPW parts, a CJ-3A windshield, and an M-38 body. The half cab looks to be a Beck or Kemco.
“1945 cj5 jeep willys in need of full restoration but is a great project jeep! only needs magneto and a battery to run”
This is season 1, episode 3, by Mark and Tom Smith of Jeeptruck.com from his series with Drew Norman at his Jeep Farm in Phoenix. Drew Norman does a budget makeover of a 1957 Willys Jeep Truck.
UPDATE: This should have posted this morning, but the newest version of WordPress has a glitch that causes posts to randomly miss their scheduled appearance.
Despite Charter Communication’s claim of ‘Blazing Speeds’, last night it was more like tortoise speeds. It was so slow I couldn’t get their Internet Speed Test to work. So, I’d say that calls for the evening off. I’m sure everything will be working by tomorrow night.
Looks nice, lacks combat rims and rear floating hubs.
“Six year frame off restoration with new MB body tub, windshield, hood , military grille, top bars, canvas top , seats, bumper and bumperetts, spare tire support , shocks, wheel bearings and brakes, gas tank, fuel filter, air cleaner, voltage regulator, horn , lights, wiring harness, gas lines, fuel pump, military light switch and lights, tires with military tread,”

Doesn’t run, but looks to potentially be a good project.
“1949 Willys Jeepster all original and unmodified. Flat head 4 cylinder with 3 on the column. Original 6 volt system and all chrome. Engine turns. New tires. Please see pics. Located in central PA. ”

This July 25, 1946, article in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette introduced the Jeep Station Wagon, designed to carry passengers or freight.
Sounds like there is value here.
“1960 CJ5. Motor started. Have gas tank removed to fix holes. No title. Tub rusted needs work.”

Just a couple updates today, though it certainly isn’t for lack of content. There was a noticeable increase in jeeps for sale last month that was constant throughout the entire month. We may be looking at the leading edge of another recession.
I’m ready to release a small number of books … 12 to be exact. These first books are signed copies and will be $30 (with free shipping). Around the end of July I will be making the book available to everyone, with signed copies available from me or unsigned copies through Amazon. You can learn more about the book at my new author’s site: http://www.deilers.com/.
Though I’ve done my best to squash all the grammatical errors, I’m sure I’ve missed a few. So, as a part of this first round of books I’ll be offering a bounty of $5 per error if anyone wants to take me up on it (up to a max of $100 or 20 errors — not person but total). When you order the book I’ll explain how to send the errors you find to me. I’m only making this offer to the twelve eWillys readers who purchase this version.
If you want a book, drop me an email (d@ewillys.com) that includes your mailing address. I’ll explain how to pay (I’ll take check or paypal).
Looks nicely updated.

Did a quick trip to Seattle. Just a few updates today. Back on Monday.
Today, my son and I return to Salt Lake and I’ll spend the day with my other two kids. On Monday, I’ll be heading for Winnemucca, then turn north for Silver City, Idaho for a little remote mountain exploring.
That’s a quick summary of this quick trip. Though I’ll be gone.
This CJ-5 powered a winch to hoist materials for a building under construction in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It was featured in the January 1858 issue of Willys News.
I took last night off, so just a couple updates today. More on Sunday. Next weekend (June 5/6) I may be taking several days off, as my oldest son wants to take me canyoneering in Moab (rappelling down an arch is how he described it). Should be fun!
There was a website hiccup Monday night, so I didn’t get a chance to do updates. So, we’ll skip a day and do them on Tuesday morning.
Next updates Sunday morning. Enjoy your weekend!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(04/22/2016) Seller describes six pics, but only posted two.
“STARTING FROM LEFT PIC. PIC #1 JEEP FRAME WITH MOTOR MAKE OFFER – PIC #2,3&4 WILLY JEEP $2000.00 – PIC #5&6 WILLY MOTOR MAKE OFFER – HAVE WINSHIELDS AND MANY, MANY ITEMS FOR THE JEEPS…LOCATED IN HESPERIA…CASH ONLY”
Might be a good price.
“1959 FC 150 Jeep, motor transmission and transfer case overhauled.

http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/col/cto/5578180711.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700.
Mark just listed this one.
“Mini Jeep riding lawn mower 19.5 hp, 2 spark plugs, new carb, starter.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Seller notes that white top is a 1979 Panorama top. Looks in great shape.
“Up for sale are my 2, cj2a soft tops. $500 for the black $350 for the white. Im getting a half top made. One is a newer bestop on the Jeep used for 2 short seasons and never in bad weather. It’s black and complete.
The second is a white Panorama Top from 1979 that was found new in a box. I had it cleaned up. Windows are really nice as is the white vinyl. There is one small hole lesser than the size of a metal snap. Inside the liner is nice but stained from the metal hardware that rusted a bit. It looks dark because it is still wet. All hardware is included along with the bow assembly handles latches etc. ”
Chris tells me he’s heading for Pennsylvania this weekend. Besides looking for and selling parts, he can also haul parts or jeeps. Contact him at nscustoms@hotmail.com if you think you can use him.
I’m heading out to PA this weekend. Do you know of any parts or people needing parts? I’m needing pto parts, parts jeeps, seat frames, engines, od, tailgates, windshield frames, etc. Have to save them, right?
UPDATE: **SOLD** at auction for $19,500. Bus spotted a video posted on Facebook about the auction. Unfortunately, I can’t get a direct link. You’ll have to scroll down a couple of posts. https://www.facebook.com/antiquecarpartsauction/?fref=nf
Upon our return home on Friday we learned there’d been a kitchen faucet leak. No damage to the cabinet, but the leaking faucet led to a new sink/faucet combo. So, there was no time for eWillys updates for Sunday. Updates will resume Monday morning!
