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: Still Available.

“I have for sale a rust free willys this is a running jeep it’s nice it needs a few things to be completely done but it’s ready to use or ride in the parades now”

(10/07/2015) Looks similar to one of the “Tenders”. Looks good for the price. Might need a little work?
“This thing was built by a dear friend and co-worker at Gilbert’s Jeeps. He passed away this past April. He worked on Rat Willie for a couple of years. Being fair, I would say it is not exactly finished, but then that would be up to the buyer. Lots of differing ideas about such things.
The Willys body, which is a chopped down panel wagon, sits on a Chevy S10 Blazer frame. It has a 350 Chevy V8 with a Turbo 400 Auto transmission.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000

<– Day 1- Wednesday March 9th: Oh, the Inhumanity! | Beginning | Day 3 – Friday March 11th: Dining in an Ely Jail –>
A self on the one-lane, crumbling, salmon dam located just west of Rogerson Service, Idaho.
We began the morning just north of Twin Falls (See day one of our trip here), We didn’t make if far before we realized that we, and by we I mean “I”, had forgotten to pack our Gazetteers (like this), those trusty, detailed maps, ones safely tucked away in my office. Sigh. But hey, who need maps when we have the internet … until that disappeared, too. Then we relied on hope!
Day 2 took us from Twin Falls, Idaho, to Provo, Utah.
Our first destination on a cool Thursday morning was the county park near Buhl, Idaho, called Balanced Rock. We followed Highway 93 through Twin Falls, then veered south until reaching E 3700 N Road. We took a right and encountered the strangest center line. After much discussion, we concluded it was a disgruntled county employee who’d had enough of life: too many straight lines.
Why the strange centerline? We’d soon find out.
Satisfied at with our arbitrary conclusion, we followed E3700N for what seemed like hours, but was more like twenty minutes. Suddenly, the flat lands gave way to a gulch. To negotiate the gulch, the road began to wind back and forth. Aha! That explained the wavy line at the beginning of the road: it marked the road that led to the park!
The road into Balanced Rock Canyon Park.
At the bottom of the gulch, a small sign guided visitors to the park.
This Utah State Historical Society photo by Jack Breed from 1949 is just beautiful! Three unidentified men are standing around a National Geographic Society Jeep, part of a Society exploration party into southern Utah. They are observing the site called “Crossing of the Fathers” at the Colorado River. I shared a color version of this photo back in 2013, but the black and white photo is equally beautiful.

Chris Tracy, the parts manager at Brileya’s Chrysler Jeep in Vermont, is looking for an engine for what I believe is a 1942 MB. They might be willing to take any military block or even a civilian one. From the email, my sense is they don’t know much about the jeep or block they are seeking. If anyone can help him out, that would be great.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Has some mods.
“VIN stamped & plated by CHP. Registration is current. Clean title. Jeep was driven to its current location and has been non op’d and not driven for the past years. It has been garage kept and is clean.
A new fuel tank was purchased and installed in 2013 due along with a new battery. The jeep runs and is drivable but 2 tires no longer hold air. The jeep needs a set of new tires. It’s been primered and is ready for paint.
I no longer have the canvas top pieces.
Restoration was started years ago and left un finished. The engine has been disassembled, sand blasted and reassembled. It is very clean under the hood. THIS JEEP IS WAITING AND READY TO BE RESTORED TO IT’S FORMER GLORY.”
Glenn spotted this one. It’s listed as a 1953, but has a 2A windshield.
“1953 Willys Jeep Original, with an original Willys plow. Asking”
http://www.unclehenrys.com/classified/4516826/classified
Glenn tells me he has known the restorer and jeep for many years. By the sounds of the ad, it is a being referred into a Tuxedo Park looking jeep?
“1963 Jeep CJ3 Restoration nearing completion. Still needs light mechanical and tail lights wired. Repainted very rare original “Indian Ceramic” sort of a coral or pink. This is the Tuxedo Park Model which was an early attempt to move the Jeep upscale. Chrome windshield hinges, grab bar, etc. Very original Jeep. I bought it over 20 years ago from the original owner. PTO winch from new. Fisher plow from new. A little bit of original paperwork also. Was a convertible top. Ragged but good for patterns if you want the original rather than reproduction. Has rust underneath. Runs really well. Everything works.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(02/27/2016) Has some broken glass. Runs and drives.
“Jeep FC-170 1957, Super hurricane motor, 6 cylinders, flat head, and runs and drives. Looking for 4500 or best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(02/11/2016) Too bad the plastic on the top is in such poor shape. Cool old top.
“Willys Jeep 1947: 39,000 miles, original condition, paint, tires rims, never dented, clean restore-able condition. This rare Willys is loaded with extra options: jump seat, wipers, plow, full canvas top, engine original, has all clips on nuts nothing looks worked on. Found in a barn. Has the original key. Very nice civilian Willys. Price is firm. Serious inquires only. No text messages please.”
Looks like a DJ on a 4WD Chassis.

Joe spotted this running project.
