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 .
Seller lists this as a 1946, but doesn’t have the title. It looks more like a CJ-3A.
“Hasn’t ran in 20 years, I think it might be a little locked up. Body in good shape except surface rust. Missing title.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown**
(12/09/2016) This has an extra data plate on the dash, but I can’t make it out.
“I’m selling our 1943 Willys jeep. This jeep has been sand blasted and is all metal, most of which is original. This vehicle is immaculate, it drives and runs incredibly and will not disappoint. If you’re interested please email me.”
Not sure how much value is here, but there is some parts value. Seller is also kicking in other parts.
‘Selling a 1960 Willys Jeep wagon. It’s a 4×4, 3 speed manual with the twin stick transfer case. It has the 6 cylinder “superhurricane” motor. It is in rough shape. The body has a fair amount of rust, particularly on the passenger floor board and the door bottoms. The engine doesn’t currently run but does spin freely, it ran a few years ago but I’m guessing the ignition points are wore out now. Included with it is a dana 44 rear axle and a dana 30 front axle from a Jeep Grand Cherokee with disc brakes along with the front drive shaft from the same vehicle. All of the brackets have been removed from them as I was planning on fitting them to the willys. It will need to be towed. Price is or best offer. I am not interested in trades.”

I can’t recall a top with a long narrow window across the back like that. Look like a halftone, yet it doesn’t have a section that fits within the cargo area.
“I believe this is a old metal Jeep top, glass window, surface rust but no holes, if interested call or text only no emails as I am unable to answer them Craigslist is an email. Thanks I was informed this could have came off a vintage Willy’s CJ 5 or a half cab for a CJ7”

(03/20/2017) Has a few updates.
“Refurbished classic CJ. Engine rebuilt, cylinders sleeved, and assembled with balanced parts at 10 over. Steering conversion and shackle reversal done by Stage West. Transmission & transfer case rebuilt by National Transmission. 11X2 brake conversion, 4″ Rancho lift, Jacobs electronic ignition, and Advance Adapters chain clutch control.

Ann and I with Lake Mead behind us. It’s great to see her feeling better and traveling again.
On Tuesday, we made a long drive to Salt Lake City where we enjoyed dinner with my kids. Unfortunately, we are so out of the practice of traveling that we forgot to take ANY photos!
On Wednesday, we made a short drive to Mesquite, Nevada, where we spent the night at a remodeled hotel called the Rising Star Sports Ranch, a place with a sports theme and without a bar or casino. it was cheap, but nice, so I was fine with that. I did NO work; instead we enjoyed an evening together. However, we did make this video which documents a robot that comes to your door to deliver food and drinks from the hotel’s concession. The delivery charge was $3, but Ann was so excited, it was worth the cost.
On Thursday, we traveled from Mesquite, Nevada, to Kingman, Arizona. We began our morning driving south on I-15. When we approached Nevada State Highway 169, we turned south.
Thursday’s drive from Mesquite to Kingman.
Highway 169 turned out to be a beautiful drive. One of the first things of interest we encountered was this Rooster themed bar in the Moapa Valley area.
Moapa Valley gave way to red rock, short grass, sage brush, and long views toward Lake Mead. We were all alone was we slowly followed the highway toward our first stop of the day: Valley of Fire State Park. I’d planned to stop in here last year as we drove south down Nevada, but we ran out of time.
You’ll note that our red jeep Henry was retired in favor of this ??? colored Jeep (we still aren’t sure what color it is — maybe purple, maybe dark blue, has some metaflakes). We call her Dolores, after the main character in Westworld (the new HBO show about robots that become sentient). Dolores is a roving hotspot, capable of sending messages to us or to her creator, the Jeep Corp. Kinda troublesome really.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

It’s a project.
“1944 Willys MB WII Jeep project. My brother and I bought this to restore, but we found a different jeep later on which we want to concentrate on instead, and he has since moved to Hawaii. Frame tag has a serial number of MB 324912, which puts it in the 1944 year. Willys MB left toe board gusset has a number of 46344. Willys MB tub toolbox features round style lock depressions and plain style lid. Appears that somewhere a later style “Willys” script hood and windshield frame was added? Spare dash and cowl included to replace cutout dash. Engine is not original to jeep, running condition unknown, newer looking carb. Tub and frame are really solid, but tub has a fair amount of filler, so I assume it needs to be have the metal worked out to be nice. Have not done anything to this jeep since we bought it, just trying to recoup some of our money. Priced right.”

Craig shared this one. No description provided.
It’s a plow jeep at this point.
“I have a ’63 CJ5 with a plow for sale or trade.
Has the 134 2.2L Hurricane engine mated to the T90 3 speed manual with the Dana Spicer model 18 transfer case.
Comes with a working plow.
Body’s not in terrible shape, previous owner did some work to it. Floor pans are riveted in, not professional quality but do the job.
New battery on 3/20/2017. Brand new carburetor put on it a few months ago along with a fuel tank installed.
Definitely needs work, not a daily driver by any means.
Needs brakes, Emergency brake works well. Headlights work, along with plow lights.
Was running well, but been having problems starting it. Going to change plugs and fluids and work from there.
Would really like to put more work into the jeep, but really don’t have the knowledge or the finances to do so.
Looking to see what’s out there for trades or make me an offer. Looking for a cargo trailer. Maybe take a bike or 3 wheeler. Just ask.”

“This jeep is in good original condition. Just hit 40,000 miles. Jeep is close to being 100% original. Replaced batteries and motor was rebuilt less than 300 miles ago. Runs and drives great. Would make the perfect candidate if you wanted to do a frame off restoration there is no rust in the vehicle or frame. You could keep the vehicle just like it is and enjoy its originality. ”

Other photos show more parts. Has some GPW, CJ, and MB parts.
“Howdy folks, Here is my Ford GPW project, parts and more. Lots of military jeep stuff. I have a GPW chassis with a Willys engine. A GPW body, cj2 tub and fenders. I have an original Ford GPW engine and trans/transfer case. An extra trans/ transfer case. Extra radiator, drivelines and more. There is a Spicer PTO that fits either t case. Has a nice clean carb for the willys engine and more parts in a box. I have too many projects now and want something that needs less work like cash. This has a clean title in my name. War jeeps are getting harder to find these days and the Ford GPW is even more rare then the jeep. They go for an insane amount of cash when restored. Looking at ebay I found I can part it out for over 3000$ which is my plan if nobody wants it. I would be happy to trade this for something that runs. I like off road toys, like maybe a sand rail, or a big dual sport bike, dirt bike, Stand up jet ski, 701 or bigger. OR?? Let me know what you have. Worst I can say is no. Thanks for looking.”
In 2013, I posted the brochure below with note explaining that there wasn’t much known about these mini jeep-looking vehicles. Yesterday, Peter Furrer sent me an email yesterday explaining that he was the developer of the Piccolino and that his five prototypes and everything else related to them are for sale. He’ll only sell them as a package. His price is $100,000. If he can’t sell them by the fall, he plans on auctioning them.
Peter grew up in Switzerland. During his time in the Swiss Army in the 1950s, there were thousands of them. After completing his one year service, in 1958 Peter joined a crew of a filming expedition-team that went from Sao Paulo to the Amazon with 5 Jeeps and trailers. It took them 9 month to film the landscapes, animals and indios, people who had never seen white men before. Later, Peter became a commercial flight captain and did well as real estate broker.
In 1986, Japanese cars became very popular in Switzerland. There smaller size made navigating Switzerland’s narrow street easier. About then Peter’s love of Jeeps returned, but then he had a brainstorm. He decided to make half sized jeep-like vehicles to make parking frontside to sidewalks possible. Engineers in Paris, Switzerland and Italy designed the Piccolino to his specifications. In 1987, he showed them at the Geneva car-show, creating great interest with hundreds of reservations and dozens of dealer applications.
All he needed was the money to start mass production. In his search for money, a Thai businessman paid the airfreight to bring the 5 Piccolinos to the Bangkok car show. Again hundreds wanted to buy, but this time a military coup with tanks in the streets ended the effort and relations.
A Miami boat-show with 5 Piccolinos ended with TV coverage and in golf courses, as this would have been the only golf cart with street license. He feels they would have been great for golf-comunities.
In Detroit, he made it to the first floor of Lee Iacoca CEO building, but Lee would not see him. Later, his lawyers warned him never to call my Piccolino a Jeep!
Peter is now 81 and feels it is time to give up on his dream cars that he has cherished now for 20 years. He Will only sell them all together. He also hopes someone will donate a Piccolino to me, a very generous offer that I would readily accept, but certainly not necessary. If anyone has interest in this, feel free to privately email at d@ewillys.com and I’ll put you in touch with Peter.
UPDATE: This is located in Dawson City, not Dawson Creek. They are 1900km apart.
