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 .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
(12/13/2016) Looks like someone opened the hood and began spraying the engine compartment an OD color. The bottom side of the hoses are still black.
“1950 Willy’s Jeep (Civilian) – Runs great – good for parades and shows. Title and registration current.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(07/05/2016) “47 Willys Jeep with Plymouth 318, Warn OD, rebuilt both drive lines, good tires – runs great. I have a lot more info on the various parts that make up this vehicle and will provide via email if interested. I’ve owned this Jeep since 1986 but just don’t use it anymore. It needs to go to the right person that wants to give it a new paint job, and drop the transmission and transfer case to replace a leaky gasket – and get it back into the dunes or other trails. This Jeep has a lot of power and needs to be driven by someone with plenty of off-road experience. It’s not insured, so I’ll test drive it.
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $18000.
Scott shared this nice looking FC.
“Stock Forward Control. Engine and drive train works well. 4 cylinder 81 inch wheel base narrow track 48 inch width. Has factory counter weight install. Fresh paint, looks great. Gauges do not work. Mileage undetermined. The best survivor I have seen.”l
Just a few updates for today ….
Friday was another day of blasting. And, with Ann’s help, there was plenty of scraping, too. This photo describes my day:
But, all that work wasn’t for naught. See the much cleaner steering box:
And, some of the blasted parts … clutch linkages, pedal levers, column shift parts, and more:
We are still hoping to find a Jeepster owner to participate in the Alaska or Rust adventure. Email me (d@ewillys.com) if you know someone that would like to go!
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay.

Gayland spotted this former government vehicle. It could use some loving. It has several neat data plates.
“1966 JEEP CJ-5 For Sale. For $1500.00. Engine is unassembled and in rear of JEEP. JEEP was built for the Government. Has a warranty sticker on dash from Kaiser Jeep to the Government. Has a Government Data Plate on the dash. It is equipped with a 540 PTO on rear. The previous owner said that the person that he bought it from said it was used to mow grass at a park. The paint has a nice even patina and would look good preserved as is. More pictures added. The rust near the Department of Agriculture decal is the worse spot on the out side of the body. If you were going to restore a 1960s Jeep this would be a rare and interesting one to restore. I have added a picture of the Kaiser JEEP Corporation’s Special Sales Order Plate.
Price reduce to $1250.00 before it goes into the woods for another 10 years.”

“950 willy pick up truck for sale. Pretty Straight truck. Motor turns over with key. Haven’t had a chance to try to get it running. Comes with extra set of doors and everything in the bed of the truck. It has the over drive. Been sitting under the carport since we got it. Does have some rust in lower door inside truck. -see pictures.
Had it sold to my brother, but he had nowhere to store it but our place. So he said he had to pass on it. Title in hand. It has a clear title with all matching numbers.
This truck belonged to my father in law. So I took as many pictures as I could, because I am not going to have all the answers to questions. $2200 cash only. No low ballers. This will be a great project. Thanks”

This 35 page book looks interesting. It’s a reprint, but may be an old reprint.
“From a cache of WWII military jeep and motorcycle parts hidden away many years. A number of books and manuals were included.This is a 35 page Photo book produced in 1942 for introduction to the troops of the 1/4 ton 4×4 vehicle Reconnaissance later known as the Jeep. It’s filled with photographs and details for the use of the jeep vehicle.

Craig shared this funny ad. Note: The tires are flat, but only on the bottom.
“This is the perfect addition to your man cave, Her wants and needs will keep you company for a very long time.
It says Jeep on it. You can’t go wrong.
1949 Jeep Willy station wagon.
Complete but for the seats, they came from something else. Has all glass. Some of it’s in good condition.
Pretty worked over by Father Time and Mother Nature but intact with extra parts.
3sp od overhauled once 2wd 4cyl
941rear end, 8## rear end included.
Doors, grill, and other loose parts from 1947 included.
Have title. Lost keys.
Not parting out the car, don’t have the time to deal with it. Could sell loose parts separately, make offer.
We can even discuss the price for the whole lot.

(01/17/2017) Nice example of a Kelly Bonanza II hardtop.
“1961 willys cj5
– kelly all steel bonanza II cab in great shape rare in this part of the U.S.
– the body shows its age and has had patch work done and the gentleman who had it obviously loved it and kept documentation from when he purchased it in 1964.
– front and rear diff recently replaced
– motor and trans in great shape, shifts and drives great for 55 years old. Last registered in Tenessee in 2016, needs a few things to be done to pass inspection nothing expensive or mechanical. I’m currently working on them so your able to get it running down the road ASAP.
Cash is the only way your gonna have wiggle room to negotiate, other classic auto for trade or O/U shot gun. I don’t need or want anything else. Making room to appease my wife, But not in a hurry to sell send an email and if your not from another country your more then welcome to come see it.”
