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 .
Roger spotted this one. It’s an estate sale find.
“1958 United States Willys Navy Jeep CJ 3B, Barn find at estate sale. Chassis off frame restoration in process, mechanically nearly completed. Tub and all sheet metal blasted and primed. Matching numbers. Very well done and in excellent condition. Needs body work and paint and final assembly.”
https://maine.craigslist.org/cto/6069441882.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
Runs, but needs a top.
“Flat head 4 cylinder, runs good, 15″ tires, soft top needs replaced – original except for wheels – will make someone a good project!”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/13/2017) Needs some work.
“I purchased a ’46 Willy’s from a friend in hopes of enjoying it for a summer. I ended up having to do some work on it and didn’t get to use it. I’m moving in the near future and cannot take it with me. I’m asking less than what I have into it. Since I purchased it I have put in a new fuel pump and filter, new carburetor, new battery and replaced multiple wires and fuel lines as well. I have the original collector plates and also new WA plates that still have yet to be installed. This will be a fun rig for someone this spring and summer.”

This needs some more assembly/work, but it is an early CJ-5 (#23631).
“All original, uncut, unmodified, with original drive train and body. Body was pulled off the frame for paint and restoration approximately 9 years ago and never fully reassembled. Only two prior registered owners. It was originally an Idaho farm rig so the miles are very, very low. Odometer says 71,505. It was brought to California in 2003 and used on a mountain ranch before being disassembled for resto. The second owner was the best friend of the first owner so he had knowledge of the Jeep’s entire history. Take that information for whats its worth, but pictures speak a thousand words.
Jeep was used almost daily before the resto began. Original Hurricane 4 cylinder, T90 transmission, Dana model 18 transfer case, Dana 25/44 axles with 5:38 gears. Tires are near new tread but date coded 2008 (when the resto was taking place). New stainless hardware used during reassembly. Original options include the RARE split “Ventilation” windshield (glass is perfect). Also has the Willys heater/defroster option. THIS JEEP IS NOT FULLY REASSEMBLED! It will need a new wiring harness, windshield seals, cables (heater, choke, throttle, etc), brake master cylinder, steering wheel, hoses and belts, and the brakes, clutch, and carburetor gone through.”

(03/21/2017) Craig shared this ad. There is more that is non stock besides the changed electrical system.
“1946 Jeep Willys has new gas tank and an updated 12 volt charging system. Everything else is original. Unfortunately, it does not come with a title but a bill of sale will be given.”
Has a fiberglass body, but looks like a good price. Seller will only sell in person and will not ship.
“65 Willys CJ5 with the f134 4 cylinder 3 speed. 4 wheel drive works as it should. Previous owner installed a fiberglass body. Frame is straight and rust free. Uses a little oil otherwise everything is as it should be. Fun toy. Price is obo open to trades no motorcycles.
I will not ship the car. I will only sell in person. Thanks to too many Craigslist scammers cash or I keep car and title until my bank verifies certified check. Don’t waste my time.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Ends soon … Has a rebuilt motor. The Road Runner graphics are cool in their own way. Replace the fenders with some black ones (or try to repaint to match existing paint) and you might have a fun little jeep. Check that front end though, as it might be a little twisted (Or the replacement bumper was attached at an angle.
“The jeep has the original 4 cylinder motor with less than 2000 miles on a rebuild. It has new springs and shocks. The transmission is a manual 3-speed. It has lockout hubs.”

(03/08/2017) Runs, but needs some work.
“Here’s a nice, 2 owner Willys barn find! 1959 Willys CJ3B. Looks to be original miles! Has had a minimal amount of body work done in it’s lifetime, and has obviously been repainted, but appears to be the original color. The tub and frame are in excellent condition. Starts and runs okay, but needs some TLC. The drive train is a little noisy too. Has the factory heater/defroster. Windshield is broken, as is the driver’s door window. Top easily removes with two people (looks much better without the top in my opinion). I have the old-school Illinois title, which was issued in 1976 when the previous owner bought it from the original purchaser. Come make me an offer!”
Could be worth a look.
“Has fresh rebuild 302 and c4 trans runs great.
New leafs all the way around (needs shocks)
