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 .
Great armored jeep photo. Left to right is Sgt. Arthur Sandbank (At gun) from Brooklyn, 1st Sgt. Allen McGauley (Driver) from Elyria, Ohio, and T/5(?) Clifford E. Kennedy from Antes Fort, PA.
“1944- U.S. 82nd Airborne paratroopers, and their mascot dog “Dutchy”, set out on a reconnaissance mission in Nijmegen, Holland, in an armored jeep.”
Cool sign!
“Awesome old Jeep sign. This sign is lighted. The interior part has 3 neon light baluster. 2 of them work but the third does not work. It is possible that it is supposed to be a blinker bulb or something and maybe that is why it doesnt work. It measures 4’1.5″ long x 8″ deep x 13″ high. It is being sold as is. As you can see there are some scratches and fading on the front. The metal frame is also rusted but seems solid. Add this sign to your show room or garage and it will be a great conversation piece. If you think its over priced, well its a Jeep thing and you wouldnt understand.”

“1961 willys jeep. Runs great. Was used on the deer lease and around the farm. 4 wheel drive works great. Original motor. Selling because we lost our lease. I have a clear title to it. Asking 2500.00 but would consider a trade for a nice 4 wheeler or lifted golf cart. No junk please. ”

All oil and fluid changes have been routinely done.
Transmission has been rebuilt less than a year ago so it is healthy and ready to go.
50,000 miles only which is great for a classic.
Solid body, just could use a paint job.
Interior would need to be re done.

Runs, but has clutch problem.
“1947 Jeep Willys CJ2A has Ford inline 6 cylinder that runs great. Transmission and transfer case seems to work good. Leaks though. There is just something wrong with the clutch and I’m sure it would drive. Will not drive currently. Good BFG tires. Needs total restoration. Very rusty and rough. Comes with aluminum half cab with doors and tow bar. Bill of sale only. No title. Would make a great flat fender jeep though. $1200 or will consider trades”

The seller has spent a great deal of money on this project, but it doesn’t appear to be finished.

“This is a real army issue willys that was in the korean war which means it has a lot of heavy duty upgrades from the civilian model, it’s pretty much all original except the front bench seat but i have the stock buckets too and the front bumper trailer hitch for towing it as well. Just had a brand new carb and fuel pump put on it and the thing runs great and only has 30,000 miles on it! This thing gets lots of attention and is a blast to drive and will climb up anything! I also have a extra set of original rims and mud tires that will go with it.
I love this little willys jeep and don’t really want to sell it but current situations demand it.”

(12/17/2014) Engine is stuck.
“Howdy Folks, Up for sale is whats left of a 1953 Willys CJ3B. Its someones doodle bug project. Not sure what his plan was. What I do know is it has a F head engine that is stuck. Has a three speed transmission attached to a high low transfer case. The frame is bobbed just in front of the rear arch and the rear axel is welded to it.
What is interesting is the two unusual power take offs. One on the back of the transmission and another dozer gear running off the parking brake drum. I have a pallet of spare parts that go with, like extra head, transmission, transfer case, some sheet metal.”
If this were my boat, then I’d rather be fishing!
This issue of Pathfinder was published in March of 1946. I bought this issue on eBay, but unfortunately there was no associated story inside.

John is selling this amusement ride jeep. Note that the steering wheel doesn’t turn the wheels. See description.
“For sale is a used Junior Pro Amusement Ride Jeep Fire Truck. 50 inches long x 21 inches wide x 15 inches high
These were originally built as pedal cars. This one was adapted to be used on an amusement ride. It has been repainted at least once. See pictures for condition.
EDIT 3/22/15 *Please note the next to last picture. The front wheels are fixed in position by a turnbuckle. The steering wheel is not connected to the front wheels. The steering wheel just spins and is just for effect.
There are some minor dings and there are signs of filler. No rust-thru. Some surface rust. Wheels are in very poor condition. Front spindles are worn.
Wheels and steering wheel are not original. No windshield or ladder included. The hitch and wooden seat back are not original parts. They were added as part of the amusement ride modifications.
