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 .
John shared this article. Daniel Stohl from Hemmings reported on Fiat-Chrysler’s 75th anniversary photo shoots, noting that many jeep folks (like me) would consider this the 76th year of the jeep. But, that detail aside, there were some beautiful pics taken. Check some of them out at Hemmings:
Seth spotted the patch below for sale on eBay. The Flatlanders 4-Wheelers club was incorporated February 11, 1976, in Amherst, Ohio. The patch was likely part of an estate sale, based on the seller’s comments on eBay.
“Large 8 x 5.5” (meant for the back of a jacket), 1970’s “Flat Landers 4 Wheelers” Jeep Club Patch.
Has to be sewn on, I didn’t know how to sew, I just kept it, HARD TO FIND!
Was kept in a drawer many years, looks JUST LIKE NEW!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Jim spotted this unusual radio.
“If your wanting one of these include your number due to so much spam. Yes you are reading this correctly!! I make and sell unique Military Collector Radios! This listing is for a USMC Jerrycan that has been converted into a portable radio. It has 4 marine Pyle speakers in it that are powered by an 800 watt marine amp! This unit also has a 12 volt power supply built into it that you recharge with your trickle charger. This one also has bedliner sprayed on it. You can plug in anything with a Headphone type plug! I used an Ipad, IPhone as well as a MP3 player on it and sounds awesome. Makes a killer statement when you show up at your events! Parties, tailgating at games and concerts! I can also make these out of ammo cans or even pelican cases. Just ask! Great for Jeep guys as well! If you want something custom it will require a deposit. Depending on what’s wanted on them it can go up in price! ”
Ben’s family is expanding, so he’d like to trade his CJ-5 for a more practical jeep, such as a Willys wagon, Jeepster Commando, or even an early Wagoneer. The jeep needs to be in the same condition as his Jeep. If interested, you can contact him at (907)347- 2 3 6 6.

This 2A has an MB/GPW body.
“1947 Willys Jeep runs good ready to go hunting Price is 5000.00 cash OBO or will trade for Military equipment or something like that cash and trade. ”
http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/5364315850.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
Has a plow and dump bed. I assume it runs, too?
“57 Willy’s jeep truck dump box with plow $ 2800 or best offer”
Might be worth a look.
“Jeepster runs with a good motor and transmission. Good front brakes, needs rear brake drum and axle on left side. New floor pans in front. Truck has no rust and is solid. Make me an offer”
http://valdosta.craigslist.org/cto/5390886759.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
Looks like a project.
“1955 Willy’s CJ3B Jeep. 225 dauntless motor V6, 3 speed trans, Dana 25 front, Dana 44 rear. Needs to be put together. Fun project…moving, must sell. ”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2500.
It doesn’t run or start, but it’s old life as a government vehicle gives it some nice nostalgia. It does appear to have the gov plate on the passenger side dash.
“For sale is my 1955 Willys 4wd 1-ton pickup. This truck is a former US Government fleet vehicle for the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation (water) in Washington State, and still bears the hand painted badging on the doors and numbering on the cab. I love Jeeps and Willys of all types, and the patina on this truck was my main reason for buying it. At this point I realize that I have too many things going and won’t be able to take on this project. My loss, someone else’s opportunity. Overall the truck is very solid and complete. Fenders and hood are mocked up for some pictures, but are not attached. They AND an extra set of front fenders will be secured in the bed for shipping. The rust on this 60yr old truck is mostly superficial, and the cab is in better shape than any survivor I’ve seen. This truck does not run. The engine was replaced at some point with an inline Chevrolet 6 cylinder which is cracked; junk. A future diesel platform for you? Other than that, the drivetrain appears to be stock but in need of complete refresh along with everything else as it has been sitting for some time; the 1963 Washington plate on the front has a most recent tab of 1974. At some point, someone started in with a can of sky blue paint on part of the truck, but didn’t get far; it can be removed. Rare to find authentic patina like this anymore, and my thought is that the buyer is likely to save a lot of money on bodywork and paint on this vehicle; just clean it up and clearcoat it. I can arrange viewing for serious buyers and I’ll be happy to help load for transport. Please”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
It’s a project.
“Willys lockers front rear winch took apart to paint lots of spare parts don’t have time to finish”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(01/03/2016) Ran three years ago.
“1942 Willys jeep, 4X4, GPW Ford: vin #GPW 15322: research shows approximately 90,000 were built and this is an early model at 15,322. Local San Luis Obispo ranch jeep. Ran 3 years ago, stored since then. Needs total restoration or get running and drive as is. Has clear title and is on Non-OP status. $2,500 firm.”
The people on Ann’s Facebook Weapons Page were wondering what this thing was. It was spotted in Thailand. I said it looked most like an M-606, but that front clip seems a little long. The running gear doesn’t look jeep-like. The fenders don’t look original to me either.
Reminder from yesterday:::: Good news: my email is working again. Bad news: of the 330 emails that I received over the past seven days, only 70 were saved in the process of getting the system back online.
So, if you sent me an email and I haven’t responded to some request or question, presume the email lost and re-email me.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
This includes a hardtop.
“1961 Jeep CJ6, 4×4, Huricane eng, new breaks and brake lines, new fuel tank, has a removable hard cab with door and Windows that roll down. Roll bar and new bikini top(never unfolded).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Looks like a militarized CJ-3A.
“1952 Willys CJ jeep. Needs some TLC. Has been driven a little since I’ve had it. Not easy to start and the brakes need work. It was used for reenacting right before we bought it. Garaged. No rust. Have title and key.”
Restored to original style? Not quite. Looks solid.
“Here we have a 1946 Willy’s Jeep! Its been restored to its original style. 4 cylinders, 4×4 manual transmisson. This Jeep is in good condition, however please remember this is a collectible used vehicle. Willys is truly a classic, famous for its military repertoire, and for being a major part in the WWII era.”

It’s rough, but runs.
“Runs and drives. I just went through the brakes (new master cylinder, wheel cylinders, break lines, and shoes. It has a 307 sb chevy, crane roller rockers, Edelbrock intake, carter afb carb, 3 speed original trans, original twin stick t-case, she is ruff, but with some love could be a cool rig. Or leave her as a rat. I have the hood, spare fender and a set of new warn hubs that go with it. 4×4 works good, front axle has a Lincoln locker, rear has some sort of limited slip. She is a handful! Not for the faint of heart. I don’t have the pink slip, BOS only. She is out of DMV’s system. I’m up for trade/partial trade, dana 60 front axles(SRW), bbc/sbc blower parts (671-871), drag boat parts(whirl-away for casale) v-drive stuff, side by side (utv) nv4500,5600 trans, Harley basket case ( no sportsters), etc”

Joe spotted this Crosley (don’t know the model) for sale in Winslow, Arizona. It looks like it’s restorable to me, but I don’t know a ton about them.

Here are a couple Hobart welders with jeep engines on each coast. Both operate.
1. Hobart Welder, Fruitland, Idaho $750.
“Older Hobart Portable welder/generator, 250 amp, 40 volt, 60% duty cycle. Powered by a Willy’s Industrial 4 cylinder motor. Has one 110 outlet on the front panel. It has been started, runs well and will strike an arc and weld. Currently missing the battery and ground clamp, welding cables are weathered.”
2. Hobart Welder, Haverhill, MA $600.
“Hobart “tow-behind” welding machine with bottle racks.
4 cylinder WILLYS flathead runs great. Armature has a shot and only provides a scratch-arc”
Very rough.
“1952 , clean title, last registered and inspected in 1987, complete drivetrain, frame looks to be in good condition, needs new body
1000 or
Best offer takes it”
http://chautauqua.craigslist.org/cto/5390291741.html
Here’s a neat 3B hood.
“Brand new, never installed after market hood for Willys jeep high hood CJ3B”
http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/pts/5392705680.html
No pics provided.
“Jeep is currently in need of the body being put back on. Tore the body off to fix frame horns and clean up the frame. When I tore it down it ran like a top and was on the road. The only things wrong at the time were a very small leak on the side of the brake cylinder which I think was just a loose line being that all the lines are new, the line couldn’t be tightened with the body on so I did it when I took it off and haven’t tested it yet. I have the original steel body that is ok but needs work and a fiberglass body that can be run the way it is buy could use some freshening. It comes with many extra parts and all of the stuff you will need to put it back together. Don’t really want to get rid of it but could use the room in the garage.”
