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: **SOLD** Was $1300.
It needs some work, but may be worth a look.
“I’m selling my Jeep DJ5, I’ve just lost interest in this project and have other ones that I am more interested in. It’s a 1975 Jeep DJ5 with a 232 6 Cylinder. Needs some work and has some body damage on the left rear corner but I have some body panels that will work for the repair. All parts that I have will go with it. I’m looking to downsize what I have.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

Matt alerted me to this refurbed FJ-6.

Nick’ selling this CJ-5 with a 3 point hitch. It’s got some early CJ-5 items including that hard-to-find-speedometer. It looks like the pointer broke in the same space mine did.
“This is a 1955 Willys CJ5 farm Jeep. It is complete with an all original drivetrain, and a rear PTO along with a 3-point hitch. I have a title. I found this on a farm just an hour away from Toledo, Ohio.
Engine is an original F-head, it is free and has spark. I rewired the ignition system. The exhaust valves are stuck open and will need to addressed before it can run. The starter works and with a couple plugs off, it did fire.
Gas tank holds fuel and the fuel lines have been cleaned. Tires have dryrot but hold air. Carb is clean on the inside. Frame is good and solid. Body has front floor patches but is overall good shape.
Transmission and tcase shift very smooth. The PTO shifter is stuck. All the 3-point system is free and moves well. The hydraulic pump is disconnected from the engine as I didn’t know if there was fluid in it. I also have soft top bows and door frames. Overall this is a great Jeep with period correct agricultural attachments.
Feel free to call/text me anytime.”
Doesn’t run at the moment.

Looks like a skin or something else has been applied to the body’s exterior.
“A rare find! 1947 Jeep Willys. Recently had major work done to engine. New interior and soft top by Beechwood Canvas. Beautiful red, fresh paint. 18k MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER!”

Ted’s still got these parts for sale.
It’s a mix of parts.
“This is an awesome running jeep with good brakes, extra set of tires, extra engine and parts, extra frame, extra drive lines, extra axles, extra gauges, and so on.
A 1950 willys m38 body and frame with a willys engine from a cj3a, the rear axle is from the cj and has smaller drums than the front. Titled as the cj3a. The engine was completely rebuilt with new rod and main bearings being .040 and .060 over while the cylinders and pistons are .040 over. The jeep has an extra engine that came from a military generator and has all of the idler and running components still on the engine. The generator went bad while the power plant was still in good running condition.
You have to take it all, 15 years and 4 jeeps involved.
This is well worth more than $4000, so be honest with offers.
Never needed help selling anything, so don’t offer”
http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/5937931364.html
Could be a good price.
“This is a plow off of a cj2a. It might fit a 3a and 3b.
I have the plow, 2 electric motors and the plow frame that attaches to the frame of the jeep.
I have not used the plow so I am not sure if they are 6 volt or 12 volt. ”
http://cnj.craigslist.org/pts/5915079377.html
To make the body work on that frame the fenders and hood need to be extended.
“Your looking at a jeep willys cj2 fiberglass tub made by 4 wheel drive. Frame is a 1976 cj5 that has been painted, breaks rebuilt, new brake lines, new leg bushings, bolts, and shackles. Has straight six engine mounted to 3 speed transmission. Frame has been gone through and ready to build. Comes with wiring harness, steering column, pedal assembly, and more. Much more invested than I’m asking. If you want that cool looking flat fender keep on a newer frame this is it. I will also throw in a 1955 willys cj5 frame with extras.”

UPDATE: For some reason the comments were turned off on the original post, so I made this new one.
Today begins the 10th year of eWillys. What began as a handful of posts and a couple of readers has mushroomed into over 40,000 pages that reach people around the world. Along the way I picked up a new wife, journeyed all over the US, and made lots of great friends. It’s been an wonderful experience and the longest “job” I’ve ever had. The reality is, it’s far more than a job. It’s become a part of me.
The other day I asked Ann if I should call it quits at the end of year 10. I explained that I’m seeing more and more activity on Facebook groups and on Twitter streams and I’m sure there’s much more happening on Youtube channels, Instagram, and other newer media that I don’t (yet capture). I told her that a website seems so old school at this point (perhaps olde skool is more accurate). But then, the newer types of media are more like streams of consciousness than reservoirs of knowledge like websites can be. So, I asked Ann what should the role of eWillys within the changing media landscape be and what will that landscape look like in another five years?
She just stared at me as I explained all this and asked, “What would you do if you didn’t do eWillys every evening?” She’s right. I have no idea.
So, eWillys will be marching onward for the foreseeable future. I do have some ideas for some changes to improve the timelines of the site. We’ll see how it all goes…
Have a Happy New Year!
