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 .

Behind Ann and inside that building is a rainforest!
Today we drove from Tucson to Globe. Along the way we saw some old technology and new. First the new, then the old. (See yesterday’s post here)
We started the day with a short walk to a nearby bagel place called The Bagel Joint in north Tucson. It’s slogan, if it ain’t boiled, it ain’t a bagel. Tucson yelpers seemed to like the place, so I thought it was worth checking out. While they were very good bagels, they still didn’t top the bagel I had at the Olde Brooklyn Bagel Shop in December of 2014. My mouth still waters in memory of that one!
With bagel consumed, we drove north for the day’s main adventure: Biosphere 2.
On our drive to Biosphere 2, we realized neither of us could remember much about the project. Our impression was that it was a failure at some level. We also wondered what happened to Biosphere 1. So, it was with this total lack of research that we entered the Biosphere 2 complex.
This is an overview of the complex.
I guess they are preparing us for seeing the future?? Is biosphere 2 the future? The biosphere folks have the marketing machine in motion. I’m just not sure what they were thinking.
Pascal is hoping to build and document a complete inventory of Willys World Magazines for http://jeepwillysworld.com/the-willys-club/. He’s put time, effort, and money into obtaining, scanning, and uploading his copies to the internet. Anyone have some issues the would like to sell or donate to him? Here’s what he needs:
I’m missing and looking for;
1974 Volume 1 Number 1 up to 1977 Volume 4 Number 5
1978 Volume 5 Number 1 up to 1983 Volume 10 Number 4
1983 Volume 10 Number 6 up to 1985 Volume 12 Number 2
1985 Volume 12 Number 5 up to 1986 Volume 13 Number 2
1986 Volume 13 Number 4 up to 1986 Volume 13 Number 6
1987 Volume 14 Number 3 up to 1987 Volume 14 Number 4
1987 Volume 14 Number 6
1990 Volume 17 Number 1 up to 1990 Volume 17 Number 5
1991 Volume 18 Number 4 up to 1994 Volume 21 Number 5
1995 Volume 22 Number 1
1995 Volume 22 Number 5 up to 1996 Volume 23 Number 6
I think the last issue was in December 1998, right?
Based on the dash plaques, this has been a well-loved jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Looks in good shape.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2, Vinyl Top, very clean.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(03/17/2016) “This is a Willys FC 170 cab over. It’s in perfect running shape with little body damage. I wanted to keep the body as is but the engine and wiring is all new. The truck is all there with no missing parts.”
UPDATE: Was a steal at $200.
There’s value here.
“1953 Willy’s M38A1. project. bill of sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(01/28/2016) Appears worth a look.
“Time to sell my jeep. Need to down size and will not be able to totally restore as I would like. Been a great jeep that I bought in 2000 and had a lot of fun with. Has been stored in a barn for last 10 years until I had to bring it down to Aurora. Runs good needs some work or would be great original jeep for restoration. All original with some extra original parts. Will consider reasonable offers..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
There are some cosmetic updates like the bumper, grille, and side handle.
“47 willys Great shape no issues. Drive it home. No issues no rust all metal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Might be worth a closer look given its stockiness. It does have some rust.
“This is a great little 1947 CJ2A. It was parked or rather moth-balled by the former owner in 1992 in his tractor shed. This is in great condition and runs just as smooth as silk. It is quiet and there is no smoke or missing. The gears shift just fine and the four wheel drive works just fine. The original gas tank is just fine and holding gas. It was drained when we got it. We have not gotten it up to road speed because there are no brakes. They will need to be bled or worked on. Of course they have lost their prime after sitting for so long. The top is a Bestop and is in very nice condition…just dusty. Even the little aftermarket electric wiper is working. This has a heater on the passenger side but we have not tinkered with it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Check out the partial railroad rail used as a rear weight.
“1958 willys jeep cj5 with hard doors and top, twin stick transfer case and 3 speed manual transmission. Its pretty much original, 4 cyl engine that starts and runs well.
It does need work obviously, brakes require a couple pumps when you first start it up, feel fine after that. The lights need hooked up as well.
This was bought purely for the plow which works well i have a loooooong driveway and we see a lot of snow, ive never driven it off my land.
Im moving south, no more snow for me. Otherwise it wouldnt be for sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Nothing fancy, but runs and drives.
“1953 Willys CJ3A. New wheel cylinders, master cylinder, brake hoses and lines, Brake shoes and drums like new. New fuel tank, electric windshield wiper, blinkers, cap, rotor wires, plugs and points. 5000 lb. winch. Has aluminum half cab, bucket seats, with good running dauntless 225 V6 engine, dual exhaust, 5:38 axle ratio. 3 speed on floor. Floors and body patch paneled, not pretty but solid. Frame in very good condition. Runs and drives but a work in progress, carb needs replacement, spits and sputters. Tires shot,3 spares w/ good rims.”
Might be a good project.
“I inherited a 1958 Willys CJ5. It needs some work, but not a ton. I’m too tall to actually drive it so I’m not going to spend the time rebuilding it.
It has an F-134 Engine-This doesn’t turn right now, but I imagine a little work would free it up.
Dana Spicer 18 – 2 Stick Transfer Case
Dana 44 Rear Axle
T-90 – 3 Speed Transmission
Dana 25 Front Axle – I Think
I have the title in hand.
There is some rust that needs to be dealt with on the front floor pan, both passenger and driver sides need to be replaced. Right side has some some surface rust as well. Other than that, its fairly clean.
The winshield will need to be replaced.
I put 4 tires on it so it can be moved, but it will need new tires
It has seats, but they need to be refinished.
I believe all parts are with the jeep and ready for someone to love it.
I think this would be a great project, if I could in fact drive it, I don’t think it would take a lot to get it going.”
