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 on eBay
(08/16/2014) The body’s a little funky.
“VIN# GPN255918 on ENGINE – BLOCK LOOKS GOOD, TURNS OVER, DISSASSEMBLED – NEEDS OVERHAUL – FRAME LOOKS GOOD.”
Four Wheeler Magazine and the New Mexico 4-Wheelers combined together for an article that looked back on fifty years of the New Mexico 4-Wheelers. Check out all the photos at the article:

Looking for a unique way to see the Buffalo herds near Custer State Park (map)? You might look into a Jeep Tour. Here are pics showing a Wagoneer and a later model jeep built to hold a small group. Here are some links that might be helpful. It’s not clear to me if there is only one tour operator or multiple ones.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
Looks like a good truck.
“47 Willy’s truck was owned by my friends father who purchased it new. This is a complete willy’s. It has been repainted to protect it from corrosion other that it is the same truck that drove out of the mnts. Runs like a top. Must see. 131,200 miles Hurricane 4cyl.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,900.
Looks like a nice truck.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6750
“This particular CJ6 was modified in the early 70s during the muscle car era and it shows. It was outfitted with a Chevy Corvette 327 motor, Muncie 4 speed, roll bar, and custom dash with Stewart Warner Gauges. The Jeep has the original Dana 44 rear end and Dana 25 closed knuckle front end with Superwinch Selectable hubs, geared 5.38:1, I suspect as it came stock from the factory – it will pull your house down. The tires are 31” like new, full tread Goodyear Wranglers mounted on thick steel wagon wheels. The Jeep has a Superlift suspension lift. The full top is an original Bestop and it fits like a glove. The entire Jeep was repainted inside and out, top and bottom, and the interior was painted with a fleck gray bedliner. This Jeep is almost 60 years old, and after more than 40 years since it was painted, there is very little surface rust and zero rot. I have not seen a CJ6 advertised in the local area for over a year. About a dozen each year on Ebay, and you will be hard put to find one as clean as this one, particulary a first model year. While it has been stored inside, the paint is showing it’s age, cracking and spider webbing in several spots, and there is one small dent on the right rear corner. The body and frame is absolutely solid from front to rear, top to bottom.
The Jeep only has about 5400 miles put on it since being built back in the 70s. It starts instantly and runs like a beast. You will simply not find a more unique Jeep anywhere in the Hampton Roads area. I had visions of making it more of a daily driver and getting more use out of it. I had started some things but ran out of steam, and other projects have gotten in the way. So far I have restored the full soft top (new windows, professionally and fully restitched), added new front and rear seats and belts, upgraded to 11-inch drum brakes all around, rewired the entire Jeep (yes, ALL electrical works as it should), added a digital RetroSound radio with aux/iPod inputs, and added a Warn Overdrive for more manageable on-road jaunts. I have purchased but not installed the parts to convert to hanging pedals, hydraulic clutch and power brakes, and had also planned to add Saginaw power steering, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This wagon is powered by a 98 Toyota chassis. It looks like someone did a nice job of laying out the motor in the engine compartment.
“Up for sale we have a 1953 Willys Jeep Wagon. The Jeep looks stock but it’s setting on a ’98 Toyota Frame with all Toyota Drive train. It gives you the look you want with the drive comforts of an everyday driver. In the paragraphs to follow we will give a brief description of the exterior, interior, and driveline of the Willys, but first we would like to tell you a little about us.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6850.

(12/14/2014) Lots of work left on this rig.
“I have a 1970 Jeep CJ6 half cab for sale. I purchased it to build an offroad rig but I can’t justify the work/time/expenses just to go beat up such a rare and unique Jeep in the woods. Has the RARE half cab with hard doors (supposedly 1000 or less were made this year?) All factory gauges and interior still there. The body isn’t perfect by any means but it is a good base. Frame is solid. It has the Dauntless V6, 3 speed, and Dana 18 transfer case. Has a Dana 30 front axle w/ superwinch lockout hubs and Dana 44 rear axle. Unsure of gear ratio or if they have lockers. Tires are darn near brand new. There’s tons of spare parts included with the jeep including full HEI ignition system, (2) power steering systems, (3) radiators, lot’s of dauntless v6 engine parts along with other misc parts that go with.
I am asking $3500 OBO. CLEAN TITLE. Need to move off my parents property in Yakima, WA ASAP, come make me an offer. It’s loaded on my trailer so I could deliver depending on price negotiation.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

At the very least the glass looks good …

MIke spotted these rims hard to find rims. The price is a bit high compared to what we pay out west.

(08/07/2014) This has a number of updates.
“1946 Willys CJ-2A. Notes: WILLY’s!!!! This is a 1946 Willy’s CJ2A Rock Crawler. This thing is cool. It has a well built Chevy 350 Motor with a 4 Speed Manual Transmission. This thing is sitting on 1 ton axles with a welded rear and locked front and 38″ Super Swampers. This thing has some serious get up and go. Like most older Jeeps, it is a work in progress and needs some finishing touches, but it runs and drives and is ready for some fun the way it sits. If you want to get some serious attention around town or in the hills, this one will get it for you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
(06/11/2014) Both are projects.
“Both have engines, transmissions, transfer case, one set of driveshafts. Take both to make one or use for parts. Nice cab on the one.”
I stumbled upon a website that celebrates old articles from the town of Walla Walla, Washington, just forty-five minutes east of me. At some point the local newspaper ran a series of articles titled “Heap of the Week”. However, one week they changed the title to “Jeep of the Week”.
This old photo from the South Dakota Department of Agriculture shows a CJ-2A with a 100 gallon tank mounted in the rear at or near Custer State Park. It appears there may be another tank across the cowl. Unfortunately, the photo isn’t very large.
