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 $3500.
Check out the paint job on this jeep. Also, the windshield glas is extra tall. I think this might have been a very nice jeep at some point.
“Runs and drives, 4wheel drive woks fine, Hurricane 4cyl engine. Hood and passenger seat not pictured but I do have them. Passenger seat needs to be redone. Its a great starting point for a great rig. I thought I’d have time for it but I don’t”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1880.
I just thought parking this on a shipping container was odd.
“1959 jeep willy runs perfect no title but i have bill of sale is a colectable. cosmeticly fear condition need paint job but drives good nice for a project car”
HOG spotted this funky colored flat tie.
“Great restoration project. Very original Willys (Built by Ford) M38 (Similar to CJ-3A). Virtually no rust. Top has been removed, but available. Winch has been removed since photo. All military lights and original rims/tires included. Too many projects in front of it. Stored inside in hangar and garage.”

The body looks solid.
“1947 Willys Jeep. Body is in good shape. Small block chevy engine. Needs fuel pump, radiator and battery to run. $2000.00 (509) 322-6990”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Note the original looking details on the underside of the hood. Seller says they will take it to the scrapyard soon.
“This old military jeep needs a new home. It ran good when I parked it a few years ago. I’m tired of looking at it and if it doesn’t sell it’ll go to the scarp yard. Asking $1000.00 obo.”
HOG spotted this CJ-3B out of Canada. Check out the gas inlet. It doesn’t look stock to me. I suspect this is an aftermarket body given the tool indents.
“Must sell my 1961 Jeep willys, runs very well, all original, Engine, transmission, gauges, interior, etc.
***$19,999.00 or OBO***”
UPDATE: Was listed at $4500. Looks like it sold.

There seems to be value here.

(02/24/2013) There seems to be some value. Unclear if the engine runs.

(01/15/2012) This runs and drives. Looks like a good price. It appears to have a PTO winch, too.

I spotted a picture of this faux jeep at DisneyShawn, which is a website dedicated to Disney attractions. This particular jeep is inside the Toy Story Playland at Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris in Mame-la-Valle, France.
Shawn included a little trivia along with the picture. He wrote, “Fort Emery, the name of the post where we’re doing our parachute training, is a nod to Pixar Animation Studios’ hometown of Emeryville, California. The ID number on the Jeep in the outdoor area of the queue, 112295, is actually the date the original Toy Story opened in theaters (Nov. 22, 1995).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s an unusual card.
“Military Christmas. Card WW2 Era India Theater jeep Elephant Risque Ladies . I would guess this is pretty rare Perhaps one of a kind. Pretty neat old card Apx. 4 1/2 x 6 1/4.closed . All items as described and sold as is.”
Gordon was curious what various gas mileage people go with their jeeps. Mostly, he wants to compare stock Jeeps to conversions. I used to get about 14 mph with my old fiberglass flattie with a buick v6 225, a four barrel carb and 3:73 gears.
Here are a few threads about gas mileage among stock jeeps:
