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 $50,000.
(02/02/2024) Mike shared this modified truck with some nicely done work.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/240318725741790/
“Custom pickup, built LS 5.3 motor,4l60e trans, air conditioning, electric windows, Custom fleetside bed, Custom chassis with independent frt suspension, narrowed rear-end with coilovers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6300.
This flatbed truck appears worth a look.
“1962 Willys Jeep Truck. Runs and drives. Original drive train with the 226 ci straight-six and manual transmission. We have a fair amount of paperwork for the work that’s been done over the years. It’s a pretty solid pickup. There are a few rust spots, it’s not a show truck. Floor pans are better than decent with a few small holes. It starts right up and idles great. Tires are good. Paint is decent with the exception of the hood and roof where the clear has seen better days, and in the rocker areas where there is some rust bubbling. I’ve tried to be overly honest with the description, and I’m sure I’ve missed something, but I think you’ll be pleased to see it in person. Sold AS IS. Title in hand. Cash only. Pick up in Cumberland, MD.”
I am pretty sure we’ve seen this one before?

Thanks to TJ for sharing this truck. It appears to have potential.
“No title Not currently running Mileage 55K? 226 Super Hurricane, 6 cylinder 4WD”
This is a custom build, perhaps on a 57 chassis of some kind?

“47 willys. Willing to sell. I bought in hopes to restore but I just don’t have the time. No title. Engine does not move. It does hold coolant though. I drained oil and coolant last year in hopes to start on it but then had a major surgery that made me stop. Located northeast Nebraska. Not sure the worth of it so I’m taking offers”
Some pics from this weekend’s progress. The first is the completion of the flip-down fuse box. Fuse boxes often have to be put in awkward locations, so I thought I would try a flip down box, which stays hidden most of the time, but can be dropped down with a single long pin removed (still need to make that pin, but the two small bolts do the trick for pics).
I really don’t know how well this will work, but figured it was worth a try.
A closer look at the fuse box bracket. The hinges are some kind of cabinet door hinge (I think); Dad had a container of these hinges for some unknown purpose.
Here are some pics of the accelerator brackets. The one on the left acts as a guide for the accelerator cable (the red/green wire is a stand-in for that. The left bracket also acts as an anchor point for the spring. The right bracket rotates, in this perspective, clockwise when the pedal is depressed. The bolt and spring acts as an adjustable stopper for fine tuning.
Not the best pic, but this shows how the gas pedal connects to the hem joint, how it goes through the floor, and how it then connects with the cam bracket.
This brochure from Canada is from CS 5-57X. There was a US domestic form CS 5-57, but it was very different.
This is the front of the flyer:
This is the back:
The brochure opens vertically into this:
The brochure then opens horizontally into this:
This shows the back fully opened:
This Canadian version of Form No. 59-03 highlights the “Maverick” model, while the US Domestic version did not (see example at bottom).
Here’s a comparison between the Canadian and US Form No. 59-03: (sorry for the poor quality of the right image .. it turns out I don’t actually have that brochure)..
