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: Was on eBay.
For some reason the Willys Export company advertised the Cargo & Personnel Carrier in a German Magazine. Seller lists this as a 1950 magazine. Given the early grille, this may well be the case. This is really an interesting piece.
“Willys Overland Export Co. Universal Jeep + Dorndorf – Orig. Anzeigen von 1950. Original Seite aus einem alten Magazine.”
UPDATE: George still has this jeep for sale.
Sell-a-Jeep TV put together this video of a mint CJ-5. The clip is narrated by George Baxter of Army Jeep Parts and filmed by Mark Smith’s son, Tom . If you are interested in buying the jeep, contact him at sales@armyjeepparts.com. Check out the dual spool winch!

“Original California 1946 Willys CJ2A jeep, has fresh rebuilt engine and new gas tank in the last 3 months. Very complete and not hacked up. All lights,gauges,horn,heater,4 wheel drive and Hi/Lo range work. Has complete top with doors. Nice stock Willys.”
Has a fiberglass body.
“51 Willy’s Jeep for sale.
Rebuilt engine, new clutch.
Fiberglass body with new ragtop.
Brand new tires.
Runs and drives great.
It doesn’t have a lot of top speed because of the low gear ratio.
These jeeps were geared very low for the military. Top speed is probably about 50 mph.
I owned one several years ago just like it. To get more MPH, I put bigger, taller tires on it, to compensate for the low gear ratio. Trust me, it has ample power to turn bigger tires. Lots of power for a 4 cylinder.
Asking $5,500 or best, or trade up or down for 1972 or older muscle car. Call – do not text.”

“1949 Willy’s Jeep for sale. Runs good and has new tires on it. For more info give me a call.”
I think the seller has confused a barn find with a gold mine. Not clear if it runs or not.
“This is a barn find. Jeep has been stored and barely driven since 1968. Has PTO driven front wench. Amazing Jeep for restoration.”

This edition of the Toledo Blade celebrated the 50th anniversary of Willys Overland. It includes some jeep photos. It isn’t cheap.

“I am selling my 71 cj6. This is a one of a kind vehicle and I can guarantee nobody has one like it. I have completely built it from the ground up. A cj6 is from the factory 20” longer than a cj5. I took this cj6 and cut it down the middle from front to back and widened it 14.5 inches! Yes that means it took two of everything to build this jeep, two grills, two hoods, windshield frames ect. The body sits on a 73 chevy blazer frame with 3/4 ton axles and 37 in tires. The engine is a 5.9 12 valve cummins out of an 89 dodge pickup. If you know about diesels then you know that this engine is as reliable as they get, best diesel ever made. It has a tf727 automatic transmission that was rebuilt less than 2000 miles ago, in fact the entire jeep has les than 2000 miles on it sense it was built. here is a parts list.

(09/28/2016) This Vincent Van goes.
“This cute little delivery van started it’s life in 1962 working for the Post Office as a mail route delivery van. It is on a jeep chassis, with a jeep 4 cylinder engine and automatic transmission. It is right drive and has roll up door in the rear – both very handy for delivery purposes. The running gear is good and the body is almost perfect, no dings or dents. 1 small rust spot! The paint is called Torrid Teal!! Recent application of clear coat. All glass is okay – one window has a small crack but solid. Interior is in good shape. Interior and exterior lights all work. Has a basic PA system for when it was an ice cream sales vehicle (not complete). Please e-mail if you have questions or need further information.
Current license and clear title.”
For some reason there appears to be a serial number tag on the outside of the passenger front frame rail.
“Willys 1945 MB Jeep

– Serial numbers show built in 1945
– Full Restoration in 2013
– Rewired
– New Paint
– New Upholstery
– Small chip in paint underneath the drivers side entrance
– New Tires & Tubes ”
http://visalia.craigslist.org/cto/5848247080.html
I wouldn’t gamble on that paint being original (get it, Reno … gambling … yeah, kind of a dull jeep night!). There were two green colors offered by W-O in 1953, Willow Green Poly and Woodstock Green Poly. I don’t think this one is either.
“Incredible find. Classic Willys with original exterior paint,with no rust and original interior. Extensive mechanical overhaul with new STA tires. Stored indoors for the last 30 years. Runs good, looks good.”
http://reno.craigslist.org/cto/5846370616.html

Mostly all there

Engine turns, not seized
Decent condition overall
