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 $3800.
(06/23/2016) Might not take much to return this to original.
“For sale is my 1950 Willys CJ3A. This is a running driving Willys. It has the original L-134 engine, t90 transmission and Dana 18 transfercase. The transmission has been rebuilt, transfercase re-sealed. Good tires with a lot of tread left. New master cylinder and fuel tank. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It needs some work. Body seems in decent shape.
“Please read this before you call or text me with a bunch of stupid questions ?
I’m just testing the waters here with my 1948 Jeep CJ2A, thinking of something different and clearing up garage space. This is a decent project Jeep, and lots of fun, but it’s not show car quality. Frame off rust removal, painting and hole patching has been completed. This Jeep is 90% complete and it does run. New wires, lights, battery, plugs etc. what it needs for completion is a brake job, replace rotted rubber fittings in the brake system, a new gas tank, gauges, and seats along with some other little things I can’t think of now.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500. Has been recently painted (was a cammo style). Has no drive train.

(08/16/2016) Has a little rust.
“I have a Kelly Hardtop off of a 1952 CJ3A. It has been kept in a shed up off the ground. It also has some minor surface rust, no holes. The lift gate is included. I also have new safety glass for it. The little windows in the back make this item even more desirable.”
This March 1957 article from Popular Mechanics highlighted the 1957 Jeep Jamboree in Texas. A few days ago a press photo showing the photo of the DJ-3A (just the front of it) landed on eBay for sale.
These rims are on Ted Jordan’s Bantam Trailer.
He writes, “I have a couple of Wheels on a Bantam T3-C Trailer that I was hoping some of the military guys might recognize and help me identify. The Wheels are def military (I think) as the original coat of paint is olive drab. They are a solid disc looking type wheel, but unlike the civilian type we’re used to seeing on the 45 and early 46 CJ2As. The tires are also a mystery and was told by a military collector he believes they weren’t made in this country . They are 6.00-16s and are marked MALOYA Switzerland Type M. Another friend says he thinks he may have seen this type rim on a Military Searchlight Trailer but wasnt sure.
That’s a funky hardtop.

No titles is sellers name.
“For Sale: (3) Willy’s Jeeps. 1946-1947; standard / manual on the floor. (1) of the Jeeps is a bonified MB the other two are CJ’s. However, one of the CJ’s has a Ford GPW frame.
The MB has a #2 chipped piston and does not run–this motor is pristine inside, but someone assembled the distributor gear in backwards when it was rebuilt, so it was 180 out, hence the chipped piston. I have four brand new pistons that go with this jeep.
The CJ’s/Ford both have Willy’s L-head / flat-head motors and do run. Not one of the jeeps for sale are driveable, but they are all three rolling chassis.
One has a gear reduction starter installed. All three have very nice 12V conversions done.
Jeeps are in various stages of repair / mock-up. All the parts are either installed or in boxes. One is severely rusted and will need a new tub.
First $3250.00 in cash O.B.O. takes all three jeeps. Will consider trades WITH cash.
I do not have title in my name to any the jeeps I am selling. The Ford Framed Jeep with the CJ Grill and tub does have an open title; (not in my name.).
Please do not text me and ask me for more pictures. If you want more detailed pictures, please give me a call first; (voice call), to confirm you’re serious and interested in coming to buy the three jeeps. If you’re interested in just buying parts, let me know what you need and I’ll see what I have. I will send pictures after we have spoken.
You buy all three jeeps for $3250.00–YOU GET ALL MY SPARE PARTS, EVERY SINGLE SPARE WILLY’S AND FORD PARTS I HAVE.
We are about 14 miles SSE of Temple, TX. 76571–Salado.
*If you’re reading this add the jeeps are still for sale.
**I will deliver for gas, mileage and my time; that includes my return trip, provided you’ve paid for the jeeps in advance, in cash.
Thanks”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3500.
Both are projects.
“For sale is a pair of Willy’s Jeep Forward Control 170 1 ton pickups. I bought both hoping to make one out of the two. They both have their pros and cons but together would make a nice FC170. I have decided to sell the two of them as a package deal but I’m not oppose to selling them separately also.
Both have clean titles in my name and are currently registered with collectors plates
$3500 or best offer, cash only, no shipping”
Runs and drives with an updated engine.
“1961 Willys Wagon 289 V-8 with original 3 speed and 2 speed transfer case. New brakes, exhaust, springs, shocks. Very good mechanical condition. Body has some rust. Excellent for hunting or four-wheeling.”
http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/5755086920.html

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
May be worth a look.
“Thinking about selling the ’45 Willys. This would be a project vehicle for someone.
It runs and drives, though I wouldn’t take it on the trails. Body has mended breaks, but it comes with a tub we picked up with the intent to restore it. We also have another frame which is rusty, but in good shape. Another motor could be included, a Hurricane 6 which was intended to be put in later. I believe there are some other pieces and parts to go with it (a bench seat I believe).”
