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 .
Not a whole lot of value here.

“A 1951 willys jeep (project) with a 327 chev . Two other jeeps both running .”http://farmington.craigslist.org/grd/5641308706.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Easily $400 in value here. The roll cage alone is worth $250-$350.
“Jeep project for sale. Mid 80’s Cj body in ok shape with a Willy’s frame. Has Chevy 350, auto trans, shackle flip, poly fuel cell, completed windshield frame with wipers. No wiring, steering column. Has a title. Text is best.”
If you’ve been following Mitch Carter on Facebook, you know he’s been doing some great jeeping in his stock diesel-powered CJ-6 (Moab & Black Bear Pass among other places) … at least until he ran into an engine problem.
Now he’s hoping to find a second perkins 4.192 diesel engine. He thinks massey ferguson tractors, forklifts, generators, etc. Even a 4.203 indirect injected one would get him by until i can rebuild the original engine. If you have one, email me at d@ewillys.com or comment below and I’ll get you in touch with him.
I’ve known Mitch since he was a young kid. He does a lot for the PNW jeeping community and is always willing to lend others a hand.
About his engine problem he wrote, “I got crossed up on a rock on the alpine loop, and the fan bit the radiator. We patched it as good as we could which got us off the trail and over one pass to silverton. And this is where i made the mistake of leaving the cap off the radiator so it wouldn’t build pressure…. the gauge only read 200* but it was fooled by hot air and not water. The engine was much hotter and I fear it’s toast. Very little compression, hard to start but will still turn over and run badly while making equally bad noises.”
On the back of a flatbed tow truck.
A few pics from Moab earlier in the trip.
And a couple from the top of Black Bear Pass in Colorado: Continue reading
Does anyone have information on the crate-to-jeep building races held at Royal Tournament shows during the 1950s (probably earlier as well)? The Olyslager’s The JEEP book references such shows (pg 50 & 51 — see below). I have an old jeep club friend who is trying to find out more information about these to share with a veteran’s group.
A slightly different event also occurred during this time using what were called MALT jeeps, specially built jeeps that could be driven into an arena, taken apart, the parts passed through a hole, and reassembled. I discuss the MALT jeeps a little more here.
The MALT events probably evolved into modern counterparts that have been featured in videos like one below, because the modern contests also feature specially built jeeps.
UPDATE: Back on eBay.
This seems like an appropriate card, since we’ll be driving through Idaho today. The back of the postcard mentions Gowen Field.

(06/25/2016) Nice looking jeep, but the papers on the dash are disheveled, making it look a little messy.

“1962 Willys Wagon in great condition. It has 226 hurricane motor with a 3 speed manual transmission. All lights and blinkers are fully functional. It runs very well and has added fog lights and reverse lights. ”
Looks solid.
“1950 JEEPSTER which had an amateur restoration 8-10 years ago. The body is solid and the paint is still shinny . A new interior was installed as was a new top. The engine runs fine and most everything else operates.
I haven’t used the Jeepster for years so this Spring I put on new brakes, had the drums turned , flushed the gas tank and installed a new 6 volt battery. It is lots of fun to drive around town and short distances. Good acceleration and easy to maneuver, so taking the grand kids for ice cream on a summer’s evening will be a memory maker.
The speedometer doesn’t work and there are a few scratches that could use a touch up. I’m asking $8500.00 which is a fair price according to Hagerty. ”

I wonder which fire department owned this one.

“Completely RESTORED 1967 Steven’s M416. The good…everything has been gone through. All the bolts have been replaced with grade 8 bolts. This trailer does not have a cut tailgate as I have seen others. An Original lunette alone is worth $475 easy. Just check around. The lunette IS included. Just look at the pictures! It does have a fiberglass Tonneau cover on it painted to match the color on the trailer. The bad…the tires are not new but they hold air but I don’t trust them on the freeway but that’s just me. It does come with a spare and two brand new tire inner tubes that ran me $45 PLUS the M416 NOS manual. The bearings are new and they have been installed professionally but that was 3.5 years ago and since then the trailer has been kept in an inside storage and not in use. I would strongly suggest the bearings be redone.”
Runs, but need brakes. Rusted through under the passenger seat.
