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: Still Available.
(09/05/2022) This oddity is supposed to be built atop a 1942 GPW chassis.

“Willys Jeep rolling chassis with custom built aluminum body unique vehicle one of a kind just don’t got time to finish it. No motor, trans, or title. Great condition for being from ww2 would make great frame to restore a gpw or finish it as it is.”
One of T15 Weasels and Liberty Auto Restoration. I don’t know if it will be for sale or not. There are other pics and a vid of it being run on Facebook.

Glenn shared this photo of a 2nd gen Jeepster Commando being decorated:
I don’t think I’ve posted this ad. The hard topped DJ-3A didn’t appear all that often in ads.

“This is an original ad measuring approx 8″ x 11″ and is in excellent condition.”
This rare Ford-made Rural Wagon from Brazil was shared by Glenn.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/804163030921684
“Runs amazing one of a kind here in America made in Brazil Ford Rural ”
UDPATE: Robert shared some additional pics:

Seller notes this was a Navy jeep. It likely has a Navy dash plate.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5687645714591348

Nice looking truck.

“1950 Jeep Willy truck runs great, new tires, fuel tank, fuel filter, and spark plugs. Ready to go serious buyers only”
This customized Jeepster has a different look to it.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/625820869323113
“Completely customized 1950 Willy’s Jeepster. Chevy 350 with throttle body fuel injection. 5 speed manual transmission. Removable top.”
Listed as a 1950, the serial number plate puts this as a 1952.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/552855470013159
“Project vehicle, does not run $1500 OBO Had it as a project but don’t have to time or money to work on it No title only bill of sale Unsure of exact age, previous owners say it is a 1950”
This might have an APU hood, but hard to tell for sure. Only the one pic provided.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1188774441743636
“V8 motor.brand new tires never driven on. New flare fins over tires.brakes all done..seat cushions to put on runs good..paddle tires also”
Listed as a 1960, this has the fenders and grille of a 1952 or early 1953. It also appears to have a USMC rear bumper. There appears to be parts value here at the very least.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/821717025710782
“~1960’s Military Jeep. M38A1. Good drive train. 6 cylinder engine – probably froze. No time- too many projects. No title- Bill of sale only. Selling for my friend. Boy if I had the know how to restore this bad boy I’d be all over it! $1100 obo”
Seller has listed this as a CJ36. This has a replacement body kit.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/708174490145000/
“Dana 44s in the back Dana Dana 27 in the front. Buick. Dauntless engine less than 20,000 miles. V-6 CJ36”
While this looks solid, it does not have the correct fenders or hinged grille that a 1952 ought to have.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/572179097794460/
“nice original shape runs and drives well”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $25,450.
(05/21/2021) It looks like lots of time and money was put into this.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/686962996046860
“Custom built 48 willys, dana 40 and 60 running gear with a fuel injected 4.3 chevy v6 and a turbo 400 trans with the jeep OG transfer case. Has OG jeep winch. has 4 blue tooth speakes for music. All lit up ready for trails. Has 5 point harnesses as well. And comes with blue ox tow bar”

Has a Koenig hardtop. Unclear how much value is here.
“Does not run, driveline went out several years ago and has been parked since then. Clean title. If this listing is up it is still available, I will remove it when sold.”
Mike shared this rare right-hand-drive wagon. Maybe it is an ex-USPS wagon?
https://willysforsale.com/ads/1958-willys-wagon-rhd/
“1958 Willys Wagon, Rare right hand drive. 6-226 runs. Have rear driver’s side repair panel.”
This is the first I’ve seen of these Kaiser Willys Sales Promotor bulletins, though it is unclear how many bulletins are provided. The ebay ad includes pics of the cover, a foreword, and issues number 1 and number 3. I’ve added additional ones found on the web at the bottom. I don’t think there is a whole lot of jeep info (seems more car oriented), but still interesting.
Apparently, these KW Sales promoters is a carry over from Kaiser Frazier, which also had a similar program. A CD of the KF promoters can be found here: http://circlekf.com/KFNut/forsale/sp.html

Tom spotted this low-mileage CJ-5 located pretty close to Roger Martin. Does the transmission tunnel look customized on this?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/661059762193803
“1969 Jeep CJ5 with 8000 original miles. Was used as farm implement. No issues. I do have the title”
This runs and drives. It should go quickly.
https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/7562799364.html
“Running driving 1950 have it licensed it’s a fun driver $3600 It does have steel top good windows and doors”
It may not win a beauty contest (neither can I), but this wagon, dubbed the Chukar Chaser, is purpose built: Hunting Chukars.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1156725718376458
“Runs like a rabbit and has great bones. New brake system, clutch system,drive train and bearings. $2500 worth its ready to roll. I drive daily.Everything works, all lights, amp,Oil pressure and water temperature gauges. Has great pressure and runs cool. Has a 1964 AMC 196 Six Cylinder. When installed they put in a Great Heater. Has fold down bumber to carry trail bike or 4 guys hanging on to grab bar on roof. Front bumber set up for easy towing also. Has new tires. Is a great hunting rig but new bride hates it. So would consider a trade for a enclosed quad with heat.”
TJ shared this Commando. It looks solid.
https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/1969-jeep-jeepster/5376268312495071
“1969 jeepster been stored in a shop 40+ years, no rust holes, it has plastic trim inside, sliders, roof rack, power brakes, automatic, engine still turns over, will be sold as is, for you to get it back on the road, battery, new gas, bleed brakes, so on,”
This has a new body kit, along with other new parts.
https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/d/moose-lake-1950-willys-jeep-cj-3a/7560411781.html
“1950 Willys Jeep CJ-3A. New steel body kit. Engine, transmission, transfer case, brakes, steering, front axle, steering sector rebuilt. New seats, gauges, fuel tank, radiator. Less than 50 miles on rebuild. MN title. Sold as is.”
This seems worth a look.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5785224641557069/
“1953 Willy’s CJ3a this is a really solid Jeep it runs and drives minimal rust has a later Willy’s 134 f head engine in it and a Saginaw steering conversion clean title needs a front spring I can get one for it”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was one eBay.
Bill spotted this MB. It has some parts value at the very least.
“1945 WW2 Jeep. Manufactured by Willys is a barn find in Nebraska was used on a farm for fencing and other other farm activities. Does not run has a flat head motor and T 84 transmission. Has original fuel tank, but has a hole rusted in the side. Of tank will come with extra parts. It is a great candidate for a full restoration or use as a reenactment Jeep it has some rust look over the pictures.”
