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 .
Looks solid.

(01/23/2010) Here’s a truck with a rare canopy. I don’t know if this is original or custom?

This has a rear PTO. This might be a good price.
“Runs, has PTO in back bumper. Ford straight 6 motor.”
http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/2163569052.html
This looks like a solid truck.

I like the description.
“1948 willys 4×4 p/u with hydraulic 2 way plow with dump box. previous owner installed 6cyl f-head motor. i just replaced plow pump and up/down valve. wheel cylinders just rebuilt and master cyl replaced. technically, this does plow snow (and some b/s artists might say it plows great)………this is a project. i did a bunch of stuff on it and would like to pass it on to someone who will pick up the ball and do more stuff on it. this is a project. UNDERSTAND, this needs work to be in “good condition for it’s age”, {an extremely overused phrase). call for more info and i’ll do my best to accurately describe it. 518-692-7758. the price is best offer UNDER $1000.- my answer to “what do you really want for it, or what will you take for it ” is $1000.”

(04/11/2010) It runs and doesn’t look too bad.

There appears to be some value.
“1954 Willys flatbed truck. The truck is all together and is ready to be finished. 327 chev. V8, 3 speed willys transmission. 2 extra rear ends, and all necessary parts to finish my project truck.

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/2154367861.html

A reader named Ron wrote me the other day. He spotted a great deal on a restorable truck at a great price and now has a website with pics of the early work (I’ve included a couple pics below). Click on the photogallery to see all the pics. Ron already has a 1971 CJ-5 and his son a 84 CJ-8; you can see pics of those vehicles in the photogallery as well. Congrats on the find and good luck with the rebuild!
Ron writes, “We are in the middle of the off frame restoration of the 61 Willys. It was purchased new in 61 by a lady with a farm in Connecticut. She ordered it with a snow plow and a hydraulic dump bed. It only has 22,000 miles. I bought it from her grandson.”
Here’s the truck before restoration. It looks like a good starting point.
Here’s a look at how the rear of the dump bed frame looks.
And here’s a closeup of the dump mechanism.
No pics provided.
“Three Willys for sale:
1 CJ-3 $2850.00
1 CJ-2 $3495.00 new clutch also engine overhaul
1 Jeep Willys Pickup with motor Not stuck $1650.00
Please phone Clark @ 1-507-5threetwo-7354”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
The color scheme and signage is unusual (in a good way I think).
“This 1960 Willys Jeep has only 16,000 miles on it. It is a 6 cylinder. The outside has some rust around the back corners of the cab. The interior is like new. It needs some work — the starter needs to be rebuilt or replaced and the brakes need some work. We have the original owner’s manual and service manual.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $500
(12/05/2010) Here’s a cheap plow vehicle.
