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: **SOLD** Was $650.
Not to scale, but still might make someone a fun project. Thanks to Roy for spotting this one.
“I have an unusual project for you!
hand built or homemade mini jeep body….
this is all steel and is 36″ wide by 68″ long
great start to a custom build, put this on a lawn tractor or use atv components for a true 4wd build.
Imagine the time this took to build, unknown history, possibly from lakeside or elitchs???”

“For Sale 1968 Jeep Jeepster Willys Commando freshly restored, super clean inside and out. This Jeep has the CJ5 front clip conversion, which gives it more of the traditional Jeep look. It has the 3.8 liter 225 cubic inch V6 and manual transmission, runs and drives well. It has high back Jeep wrangler seats, front seats have sliders, front passenger folds forward, rear seats folds down and folds forward. It has new 16″ Ion wheels, matte black and machined finish and 305-70-16 (33×12.50-16) Toyo MT tires which are about 50% or better tread.
The radio does not work, and there is a tow bar installed on the front bumper. We do have and are not including a top with the Jeep, we don’t have one, it has always been stored in our garage. The next owner can modify as they choose, add a roll cage and a soft top, or find and install a factory hard top. This Jeep has much more room than a CJ5, and would make a great beach cruiser, dune rider, or just to have up your cabin for hunting and fishing. Clear AZ title signed and notarized, located in Buckeye, AZ 85326. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, we may be able to assist in locating a carrier or possibly deliver for an additional fee.”
Craig forwarded this wrecker/ snow plow combo. I bet this doesn’t last long. No title.
“Original factory made Willys Wrecker with Well-Built body.
Equipped with a Fisher power angling snowplow.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
Could use some new seats!
“Selling my 1946 Willys CJ2A. Definitely not the prettiest cj you’ve seen, but she’s a beast! Runs and drives. 4 cylinder, flat head Motor has been rebuilt at some point, but i’m not able to verify how long ago. Fresh oil and coolant.
Converted to 12 volts. Rear offset dana 44. Also has rear seat included
New battery. I’ll be replacing the Regulator and Ignition tomorrow. I’ll also be rebuilding the carb as well, because it has a hard time idling.
I also have 4 extra original CJ2 wheels (15×6), as well as 2 spare tire mounts. I will also include a tow bar.
Transmission shifts good. No grinding or popping out. 4×4 works.
Obviously, this jeep needs some body work, as you can see in the pics. Some cancer spots, and places where bondo is chipping off from an old restoration. But this jeep is VERY restorable, and will be worth plenty of money after body work and some tlc.
Title in hand. have the license plate for it as well.
$2700 or best REASONABLE OFFER. no trades. Cash speaks.
Call or text the number in the reply section.”
AlphaMav spotted this FC with a funky bumper.
“Not sure of the year . $ 2000.00 OBO flat head inline 6 cylinder.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Unusual rear bumper. Are those rings hold it to the jeep?
“Civilian model, original 134L, 4 cylinder, 4 Wheel drive, 3 speed, high/low range, 12 volt conversion. Runs and drives great, lots of extras…hard top and doors, rear seat,and tow bar with lights. she has 5:13 gears so 45 mph is the top speed, but it will climb a wall! Lots of fun with the windshield down!!!”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2500.
At the very least needs a fuel line.
“I have a 1946 willys jeep for sale. It runs just needs a fuel line. I do have the roof and the doors that go with it. Great project car”
Looks like parts vehicles.
“This listing is for 2 Willy’s Jeeps. I know very little about these, I’ll do the best I can to field any questions.
We do not have titles for these vehicles. We are selling these as parts only and have no way to acquire a title. They were donated to our charity. We will of course provide a bill of sale. We had a mechanic do a once over on the one with the body off to the side and he said that it had good compression in 3 cylinders and low in the 4th cylinder. We also installed a new starter.
The oil looks great and was recently changed.
The other Jeep engine oil is milked, but appears in solid condition. LOTS more pictures here: http://www.v8s10.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=39657”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
The seller lists this project at $4000, but notes he didn’t know how to price it. Obviously that’s a bit high, so he encourages offers.
“It is time to SAS my 4runner so I need to sell one project to fund the other project.
1946 Willys cj2a with clean California title in my name. It is current and is in non-op
It is essentially in stock form with the exception of a chevy 265 V8.

(02/25/2015) Ian is selling his near complete jeep. It ran until he experience a problem with the starter. Ian includes lots of information about the jeep.
I have fallen into the classic trap of rebuilding old iron – I got deep into a project before finally realizing that I am not enjoying it. What I have is 95% of the way to being a totally awesome retro offroader – not the lifted V8 junk that most people do, but rather something that keeps the classic style of the Willys Jeep and improves its performance in sensible ways.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(10/30/2014) Seller believes this is all original, but the M-38 body suggests otherwise.
“1947 Willy”s Jeep universal ready to restore. It is all original except the four cylinder engine. It has a rebuilt pinto four cylinder engine. For the person that is looking for a rock climber, this one can be set up just for that purpose. It has the original transmission, transfer case, front and rear axles. It has fog lights, and a tow bar, with lock out hubs. It has been stored for the last seven years. Please no texting,”

Ann in front of ‘her’ plane, a B-52 (though technically not this model). Back in her Air Force Days before Bin Laden blew her up, she used to load it with weapons. @ the National Museum of Nuclear Science and Technology.
For years I”d read and heard about the television series Breaking Bad. This past summer, lacking any good TV, Ann and I decided to watch the episode’s pilot to see if we’d enjoy it. We were hooked from the very beginning. Within a couple weeks we watched the entire six-year series. In case you haven’t seen it, the show is about an Albuquerue science teacher named Walter White who feels forced to produce meth to save his family’s finances. If you haven’t watched the show and don’t want to know the ending, leave the post now!
With that background in mind, our first item of business was to find the real gravestone marker for the mythical Walter White. The headstone was initially put into a real cemetary, but some reasonable complaints caused it to be moved to a small strip mall. When we arrived at the mall, the location of the headstone wasn’t obvious. We had to look around before spotting it in an outdoor alcove. Ann was particularly pleased, because this was her idea.
There are both guide-tours and self-guided tours of Breaking Bad film sites in Albuquerque. You can learn all kinds of things here.
Following that quick stop we headed to the touristy area of old town Albuquerque. Anchored by a church established in 1702, the area is typical of New Mexican town squares. In the center is a square bordered on all sides by a road with shops/restaurants lining the road. I was surprised to see that the square was much quieter and subdued than the square in Santa Fe (or it was on this day).
Perhaps the most striking difference between the Santa Fe and Albuquerque shops are the proliferation of Break Bad memorabilia. There were also some Better Caul Saul shirts as well, the prequel to Breaking Bad.
Believe it or not, there are some confederate soldiers buried in Albuquerque.
Roberto Flores forwarded these two illustrations with some background information. Great as always!
Here are a couple of pics of my newest commissioned order cartoons for the “Jambo Jeep 2015” meeting. This is a classic jeep and 4×4 held each year at Navarre, where I live. From some years ago, the crew which organized this meeting ordered me some artwork, as cartoons or logos. This year, they have asked me to draw the logo too (I would try to find some pics of it) and these 2 cartoons. One shows a fully restored WW2 US Army Dodge WC51, with markings of the famous 101st AB division “Screaming Eagles”. His owner is posing next to it and dressed with the airborne division uniform. Also, you could see his girlfriend at the background and some architecture from the village in which they live, Murla, at Alicante, on the Mediterranean coast.
The other “violet” Willys jeep is a Spanish Viasa one modified to look as an US flatfender by his owner, who appears too at the drawing, posing with all his family. Also, I have drawn some well known monuments and so of their village, Almacelles, at Catalonia.
John’s selling this Boyer Jeep. The jeep has less than 9,000 miles and was formerly a DNR wire jeep. I have the stainless steel racks that were on the jeep and the tailgate. I don’t have all the side mounted tool boxes. I also have all the canvas. Roof, doors and back. As for the knob on the front by the headlight it is hand throttle. I suspect it was used for the water pump that at one time was mounted on the front. This is why it does not have the proper front bumper I suspect.

Glenn spotted this nice wagon. Seller is certain it’s the best anywhere.

I now have an additional reason to eat Subway sandwiches! This truck was in Albuquerque off of Wyoming Blvd.
Today was a breather day. Our simple goal was to make the four hour drive from Durango south to Albuquerque. Without anything planned, we let chance be our guide.
It turned out ‘chance’ liked jeeps on this day. On our way out of Durango we saw a flat fender, a cj-5, and a beautifully rusted truck (orange-red patina). Unfortunately, we were on a two-lane busy road with no pull-offs. All we could do was shout to one another, ‘there’s another jeep!”
After taking a wrong turn in Cortez, we found ourselves in Farmington, New Mexico, where we spotted two unusual vehicles. The first reminded me of a Tour FC with it’s white and red top.
The second was a limoseum parked out front of Farmington’s museum.
Despite the cool car, we didn’t go inside the museum. Instead, we got back on track and headed east for Bloomfield. That’s where we saw the strangest sign: SALMON RUINS. As you can imagine, we didn’t expect to find any salmon bones, carcasses or ruins in New Mexico. So, naturally, we had to investigate.
Rick wanted everyone to know that the Willys Jeep Rally will take place at Hueston Woods State Park in College Corner, Ohio on May 29 & 30, 2015.

David discovered this sticker at his local auto shop: Mid County Auto in Capitola, California. He wrote, Have you seen these Sea Foam stickers? I was in my local auto parts / machinist and they gave me this sticker today. They told me that the local Sea Foam rep left them and since they know we’re GPW guys, the shop saved one for each of us. How cool is that? It’s about 4.5 by 7 inches. You can see the actual outline of the sticker on the scan; it’s not rectangular.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $1800.
Only one jeep show in pics, but two mention in the text. The one in pics is a VEC with full floating hubs. The body is crap, but there might be some value underneath.
