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: Was listed at $500. **SOLD**
There looks like some value here.
“Very rusted but running CJ6 with the 225 Buick v6. Includes a second partly disassembled v6 also. Also includes half hard top and plow. Has been an up north plow Jeep for many years. No brakes but four wheel drive works.”
This might make an interesting project.
“$200 OBO This 1940s cj2a frame was elongated many years ago, it had at needed it for a flat bed to be added to the back, would be a great frame to chop up for parts, many of the pieces on this frame are good for replacements to existing frames, cash, must pick up, contact matt, need the space, no title”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
This needs work.
“1949 Willys Jeep. The jeep is solid and virtually rust free especially compared to other models of this year. the passenger seat is not shown in the pictures but I have it. You will need to hook up the front brakes, get a front drive shaft, and find a rear brake light cover. Other than that everything is strong and it cranks up and drives every time. This is not your everyday CJ or Wrangler Jeep. Make me a reasonable offer.
I have a hitch that can be hooked up to the front to be towed.”
UPDATE: Was priced at $6000. Status Unknown.
(07/18/2013) This was originally a park ranger jeep.
“I wish I didn’t have to sell this CJ-6, but I have to move from Oklahoma to Tennessee and I can’t take her with me. This is a frame-off restoration that is still in progress. This Jeep was originally a used as a Park Ranger Jeep at Mammoth Cave National Park. I am asking $6,000 OBO.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“This is a Jeep 1 ton truck. It is running and driving with a flatbed frame. I have too many projects and no time, so I must get rid of this one. My loss is your gain. 226 Super Hurricane inline 6 cyl, T-98 4 speed transmission, Dana 18 transfer case. There is no rust on this truck so it is ready for a restoration or modification as you see fit.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100.
The engine runs.
“1952 Willys CJ-3A “JEEP” This is a running and driving project. The body is rough. This is a good candidate for a restoration. The odometer shows 75188. I have no idea what the total mileage is. It starts up and runs great. The float in the carb hangs up once in a while, so the carb will need rebuild. The electrical system was converted to 12 volt. It has a brand new battery. The electrical system will need some minor work. I have restored several of these great old trucks. I just do not have the time to do this one. With a little work it could be on the road as a “RAT ROD” I have a Maryland transferable title for this truck.”
Thanks to Steve Elkins for filing this great report from the 2013 Willys America Open House last Saturday! You can see more pics at the oldwillysforum also.
The annual Willys America Open House was Saturday, July 13, 2013. Over one hundred Willys vehicles converged on the old lumber town of Cazadero nestled among the towering redwoods of the Russian River region of Sonoma County, California.
Once again, Paul Barry opened up his amazing restoration facility to Willys owners everywhere for his annual event. Willys enthusiast from all over the region, and some as far as the Eastern United States, came to the event. Well known names in the Willys World such as Harry & Jo Sheets from Indiana, and Bill Norris, who publishes the best calendars in the world, were there to enjoy a wide variety of Willys on display and to meet other enthusiasts.
Here are some folks caravanning north to the event. Just to their south the Golden Gate Bridge looms amongst a marine push.
Willys America houses the largest variety of unique Willys vehicles anywhere. There were personnel carriers, Mavericks, Sedan Deliveries, Jeepsters, Forward Control trucks, Jeeps built in Japan and the Philippines, military vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, RR vehicles, just to name a few. There was even a 1943 Allis-Chalmers Snow Tractor powered by Willys (L4-134.)

Charles forwarded these photos. The first one shows the former queen BEATRIX of the netherlands ( who just passed the crown to her son a few weeks ago).
Marc spotted this on eBay. The auction ended, but I’m sure the seller will be happy to sell it. Note the muffler winding under the front frame rails.
