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 lucked into finding this original Seattle Belly Paneers Jeep Club Patch! Can’t be many of these left. It is 7″tall x 5″ wide.
This unusual ad features a jeep in part of it. What looks like a “what’s in a name” ad, is really an ad for the Ethyl Corporation.

Mike spotted this estate-sale Jeepster Convertible. This looks like a great one for the price. If I weren’t buying a different jeep at the end of Feb (yep, we head out on Feb 27th), I’d consider this one as I’ve though a Jeepster Convertible would be a neat vehicle for around these parts.

“All original hurricane four-cylinder, four-wheel-drive, four seater. I am the third owner and just had everything gone through and replaced that needed to be done. The only thing wrong with it is cracked windshield and leaks oil. Engine does not smoke. Everything works as should, drives great awesome little piece of history. ”
This has a variety of updates, though someone removed the front of the roll cage, but left the plates. It has a Warn overdrive.

“1950 cj3a Buick 215 v8 3 speed Needs complete floor pan Runs and drives great Clean title”
I wasn’t planning on doing a racer update today, but both Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist were having issues last night loading pages. So, since, I took pics with the body yesterday, I figured I’d throw these up here. The cage is almost done, then on to floors and seats. OR, maybe shock mounts and rear sway bar.
UPDATE: This post originally appeared April 2, 2016
The February 1959 of Man’s Magazine contained photos and short report from the annual Jeep Rodeo in Yakima, Washington. Unfortunately, most of the pics aren’t a whole lot different from the March 1959 issue of Modern Man Magazine, featured in 2013.
Man’s magazine turned out to be a lot less risqué than the cover image and headlines might suggest. There was even an opinion article expressing concern over how American college football was fast becoming too professionalized.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/16/2022) Appears in good shape. PTO bar has been cut off and the area where the spare tire mount mounts looks redone.

“1948 Willy’s Jeep. 1700 miles. Excellent condition. Manual transmission. Runs great. Manufacture color – Michigan Yellow. Original tires.”
Is the an original Maverick? Was that center console an option for wagons (or for Mavericks?)?

“Titled as a 1944 Ford GPW but im not exactly sure what it is.

The blue one is a parts jeep.
“1962 Willys Jeep CJ5. This is a great survivor !! Very straight and complete. The transmission had issues but I have spares to repair it. I also have another CJ5 that will be included.

This has a blown head gasket, but looks in great condition otherwise.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2916393698665730/
“This is an Army 1952 Jeep Willys. 24 Volt (2 batteries). I did originally drive it but it now has a head gasket problem beyond my ability to repair. I’m a 26 year vet who was hoping to drive this jeep and enjoy past memories. It needs a mechanics touch. I will add more information and pictures shortly as it also comes with a army trailer, doors and top, roll bar, a metal rack that slides into the trailer hitch, chains, and a variety of other accessories i.e. (heater) etc. Serious buyers only please/cash sale (I have the title). If cashier’s check, then buyer will accompany seller to a local bank to make the deposit”
Bill shared this nice looking truck.
https://www.hemmings.com/listing/1947-willys-pickup-246235
“This 1947 Willys-Overland pickup painted in Arctic Grey is one of approximately 2,500 manufactured in 1947. The truck is powered by a L6-226 Super Hurricane engine that runs beautifully. The electrical system has been upgraded to 12V by a previous owner. A refurbishment by the current owner started in January 2021 after being purchased in Arizona and was completed in November 2022. The work included rust proofing underbody and frame, applying bedliner finish, new fuel tank, sending unit and line, fuel pump, aluminum radiator, thermostat, engine and heater hoses, water pump, belt, points, plugs, wires, carburetor rebuild, paint, professional tune-up and oil/filter change. Equipment includes a custom rear bumper/hitch, a heater/defroster, 5-gallon side-mounted gas can and a side-mounted spare. This pickup is offered with a service manual, receipts for work performed and parts, vintage AZ license plate, car cover and a clean Washington title.”
Mike spotted this CJ-5. The body is in pretty good shape for a PA body. However, this does not have a title, so keep that in mind with PA DMV rules. It has a Kelly Manufacturing hardtop.

“Up forsale is a 1969 cj-5 v6 dauntless 3 speed 4×4 This is a great restoration project. Or mechanically get it going and rock the patina. This Jeep spins over and the trans runs through all the gear with a tight shift Patern. No title $2500. Look closely at the back is the tub and how dent/ rot free this tub is. It’s not a rotted mess like most of these cj-5’s are. Also. Has rare and highly sought after wide wheels.”
These pics may be before the seller disassembled it.

“A real Hurst Jeepster. It is complete with title. I am the second owner. I have it apart right now to restore. Life has got in the way and I have bills that need my attention, Own one of only 300 know to still be around. Buick V-6 and turbo 400 trans. Hurst dual gate shifter, Tach in hood scope. All parts are in the Jeep.”
Bill shared this solid appearing CJ-5. It’s formerly from Colorado, but being auctioned by what looks to be a non-profit (that accepts donations). It starts, but stalls. It’s been updated to a V8 and a different transmission of some kind. The seller hasn’t confirmed whether there are DMV fees on this, so I would recommend contacting the DMV to see if you can determine if that’s the case.
