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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
This is worth a look. Unclear how complete it is.

Andy shared this project. It includes a Sears style half cab.

“Car is not running. Needs to be restored. Engine is out in pieces. See pictures. Needs a good home with someone who is looking for a fun project!”
This unusual build needs a valve job.

This maybe worth a closer look due to the classic deep dish slot rims and, possibly, the special aftermarket inset CJ-5 angled dash.
“Jeep sell whole. Ur gonna have to tow. Willing to trade for running car or street bike”
It’s a non runner, but still might be worth a look.

“1948 CJ2A runs amazing. Has rebuilt Chevy 153 4 cylinder, Chevy 4 speed manual transmission, and Chevy steering. Brand new aluminum radiator with shroud, new hoses, and thermostat. Freshly rebuilt carburetor, new brake lines throughout, newer tires, newer battery, new fuel pump/lines/ and filters. Just replaced head gasket, oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket. Very reliable and a blast to drive.”
TJ shared this shortened truck. Note that the seller does not have the title, but has contact with the original owner who has paperwork of some kind.

“I have a 1951 willys pickup, I bought from a friend, got it to restore but don’t have the extra funds for parts, was willing to sell for less because of an injury but all healed up now but still willing to part with for the right price. The motor should be good, it was restored and ran when parked in the yard around 20 years ago. Someone had taken the radiator off and belt somewhere over the years, but i do have the radiator. It rolls but haven’t worked on the motor so don’t know if it will start or not. I know these trucks go for much more in same condition. Asking $1,000 OBO I do not have the title but can right bill of sale. Also can have original owner provide paperwork if any concerns.”
UPDATE: Still Available? I haven’t seen this ad on Facebook since 2019, but it just popped up as I was searching for something else. I suspect this sold, but you never know….
Has a variety of updates. Appears to have an overdrive.

“CHEVY MOTOR 283 V8 4/4 LIFT RUNS GOOD ARMY STYLE ”
The big spring project, operation Raised Garden #2, has finally concluded. The auto irrigation system is ready to go. Now, Ann just needs to finish planting and I need to put away the tools leaning against the shop (and paint the fencing around the propane tank).
Since first buying the place we’ve struggled with what to do with this dead zone between the shop and the guest house. Ann’s idea for 2nd garden area there looks like it will be a good idea. Here’s a before and after photo:
On Sunday, I returned to working on the FC. I finished a cover plate for the Wilwood hole (formerly the original shifter hole), and I built a bracket for the oil-cooler/electric fan setup (no pics just yet). Though I need to catch up on other projects waylaid as a result of the garden, I should have more time to work on the FC again.
