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 .

“This is a beautiful vintage ice cream truck. 1984 AM General FJ-8C. Rare, very hard to find these days. It was formerly a mail postal truck. Freezer and shelving built in. We used it for shaved ice. We got a bigger truck so sadly, it’s time to see her go to a new home.
Runs and drives but it will stall out going up steep hills and sometimes at idle. Sometimes it’s hard to start. Drove it today and it ran great until I went up a steep hill then it bogged down and idled rough after that. Ran good a couple years ago when I drove it 500 miles from where I bought it but we left it sitting as a retail shop for one year then drove it home and let it sit in the driveway another year.
Has some extra diamond plate, but looks like a strong runner.

(05/19/2015) Has had some body work. Appears worth a look.
“1961 Willy Jeep 4wheel drive has a Ramsey pro plus winch 6000lb,runs good”
The 2WD could make a good project. The body looks straight and solid.
“Hi all,
I have a VERY restorable 2wd Willys wagon project here that needs a new home! I am posting this for a friend who is now unable to get this project going as planned and it is stored at my shop. I will answer any questions I can but as much as I know now is that it is a 1953? wagon. Has MIN-NO RUST! This is unheard of with these wagons especially in the wheel well and tail gate areas. This body is incredibly straight with one fixable dent behind the driver side door and a few other small dings here and there. The floor boards are the only spot that must of had some rust and were “repaired” by the previous owner but will still need proper attn. The firewall is perfect and un-cut. It is on a clean/complete stock 2wd chassis. Has a 4cyl motor but unknown if it runs. Original trans is in it also unknown condition with the original 3 on the tree steering column. the grill and fenders that came with it were in rough condition and the lower tailgate was taken by the previous owner. but, I do have a few donor parts from my project that could be sold with it if you want them/need them.
All in all, if you are looking for a complete barn find vehicle… this is not for you. But if you are a person looking for a great start to a project that will need hardly any body work then this is a perfect place to start! We will include as many extra parts as possible with this wagon and local delivery can be available… after being seen and paid for in person.
asking $1500 obo… shoot…make a offer. Thank you!”

This looks kind of like a porter-read, but the windows are rounder and the arc of the top in the rear is taller. Anyone recognize it?
“Wily’s Jeep hard top. Came off of a 1942. Good shape. Well built. No rust.”
http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/5094632274.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Looks like enough parts to build a jeep. Block is cracked and frozed.
“I have a 46 Willys Jeep CJ2A. It has been mostly disassembled and really only good for parts. Make any reasonable offer/trade and its yours. No cherry picking. All or none. Engine is seized and has a cracked block but intake, exhaust and carb. seem to be in decent shape.”
It’s a project.

“Solid aluminum cigarette lighter. Lighter on the hood, cigarette holder under roof. Has attachable trailer that is an ashtray.
This item made by Ges-Gesch, a German company, & was made right after WWII & only sold on U.S. Army bases in Germany.
These aren’t real rare but seldom come on market because sought after by tobacco item collectors.
Trailer tires are missing but in good shape & still displays really well.”
Paul Berry let me know that this beautiful Maverick is for sale.
He writes, One of my customers regrettably has decided to sell this beauty. We have done a lot of work to it over the years and it is an outstanding vehicle. He and his family have enjoyed it for several years. Located here in Sonoma County, CA. It was featured in the Norris-Banonis Jeep Classics calendar. It has been on display at the Willys America Open House show in July. And as you might imagine, the owner has more invested in it than his asking price of $20-K. Give me a call at Willys America for more details: (707) 632-5258
Looks solid.
“Here is a very nice ’46 Willys that is in remarkably good shape for its age. It still has the original flathead engine and a very rare Jeep hard top. The Jeep runs, drives and stops like it should. This is a great old survivor.”

It hasn’t been started in a couple years.
“46 willys jeep …running condition..haven’t started it in two years..could use a good home ..is definatley restorable or something to cruise around in..4700.00..or best offer”
Listed as a 1953, it’s more like a rough MB.
“1953 Willy’s Army Jeep with the original 1953 Willy’s engine, VIN#426445. unknown miles. $4,495or best offer. I’ve replaced the brake lines, wheel cynlinders and brakes, clutch and pressure plate, the ring gear on the fly wheel and the starter. It ran fine the last time I used it which was several years back. I’m selling it as is. These jeeps have a lot of potential and you could easily make it into a $15,000 jeep. There’s an army serial number on the right front hood that’s hard to read after 62 years. The numbers on the hood are original and as far as we can tell they are _0_08659. ”
