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 .

“I have two Willys Jeep CJ2A a 1947 and a 1948. The 48 is titled, but completely disassembled for restoration. I have a lot of spare parts, including a complete spare motor. I also have a 47 that runs drives and stops. It does not have a title. The tub on the 47 is rusty with patches. I bought a restored CJ2A and lost interest in this restoration. I am willing to discuss prices on parting out or making a package deal. Respond with name and phone number if interested.”

I felt better today, but still sneezing and coughing quite a bit, so I laid low. However, Ann spent some time wandering around Alamogordo taking photos (good for her!). She even managed to wiggle her way onto private grounds to photograph a building used in several movies (Fred and Cindy tells us that usually NO ONE is allowed to go inside the gates). I hope to publish some of her photos on Wednesday. We will most likely leave Tularosa on Wednesday.
I got a bit of good news. Ann and I will be the inaugural guests at Red River’s Bed and Breakfast in Fredericksburg, Texas (once the plague leaves me and we can make it there). Tomorrow I will nail down a date with James.
James runs the Red River Jeep Tours in Red River, NM, along with the Uncorked Wine Tour and now a bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg.
How about those bed lights!

Her are a couple additional illustrations. Based on a quick look of Mr. Arifman’s projects, it appears they are well done.
Roberto writes, both have been commissioned by Mr. Firman A. Arifman, from Indonesia. He´s a Willys jeep restorer and his company is called “Reborn Workshop”, located at Yakarta. This is its Facebook website:

These are generally priced higher on eBay. This is similar to the Grrrumbler.

Dan forwarded this for a friend. You can contact Dan for more information. It appears in good shape. The data tag lists this as a “special” model, but what’s special about it is not clear to me. It hasn’t run in years but had new rings put in before it was parked.

Jim looked at this M-151 the other day. It may be a good buy for the right person.
He wrote, Wanted to share with the eWillys crew. I visited this M151 yesterday (19 April), and ultimately passed on it, as it will need panel patching for the lower panel rust holes. Jeep runs, matter of fact it started right up and smooth idle. It has been in family for some time, and has a lot of trail time, resulting in the angle iron lower rocker panel reinforcements. Ad has more information. I would recommend the jeep to any interested party who doesn’t mind the pin holes, or can repair the panels themselves. A fair price for a registered, running M151!
The owner asked to have his name and number available as well. Garrett, call or text @ (805) 218-5061.
Ad text: “Selling uncut 1970 M151 A1. This is a Vietnam Era Army Jeep made by Ford, it is 4×4 with independent suspension front and rear.
Nearly stock except for a hoop style roll bar made of 1.75″ 120 wall d.o.m. as well as some angle iron guards just below the driver and passenger doors which unbolt.
Has the deep water fording kit as well as full soft top.
There are some of the usual rust spots, mainly on the front floorboards which I will include a picture of. Nothing major.
It runs great and is totally capable of heading up to the mountains so or cruising around town.
It has current registration with clean title”
Runs.
“FOR SALE 1948 cj2a. CLEAR TITLE IN HAND. Pretty solid appears to have had some metal work done over the years. A worthy project for someone. 4cyl flathead runs but needs work due to an intake valve sticking open. Frame etc is good and solid. Rust seen on floorboards is only surface rust, they’re rock solid yet.
New: plugs and wires, points and condensor, converted to 12v. Plenty of pics below should show you everything you need to see. Engine appears as new, id say someone must have gone through it before it sat, but can’t say for sure. $2000 firm. ”
