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
(04/30/2012) There appears to be potential here. It runs and drives, too. Not too far from me.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(07/19/2011) The windshield makes it look like the jeep is going fast just sitting still.

According to the Denver Public Library’s Digital Archives, this photo “Shows pontoon bridge over the River Po. Two Tenth Mountain Division soldiers drive a jeep loaded with boxes. Four more loaded jeeps drive through a cut in an embankment. Twelve soldiers sit nearby or stand ready to work near the bridge. Italian citizens and more soldiers sit at the top of the cut and watch the passing convoy. Many of the Italians have bicycles with them.”

Gary forwarded these updates on his CJ-5. See an earlier post about his jeep here.
“I first want to say the NP435 transmission was a challenge but it was worth the work. It shifts very well. I like the extra low first gear and reverse. In one of the pictures you can see the transmission cover with cup holders I made. I took and modified an electrical box and covered it with spray on bed liner then, I used the same boot that I had on my T90.
I decided to go back with stock manifold on my exhaust. Lawrence uses a good method instead of using a Y-pipe he uses a dual flow muffler with two inlets and one outlet. I am much happier with this. It puts all the fumes out the back and is a lot quieter. I will send you a picture of the build Lawrence is working on which shows this application. After looking at his, I took my Jeep to the same muffler shop and ordered a duplicate.
The master cylinder reservoir works nice as well, you can see it on the driver side in one of the pictures.
I added a detachable Reece brand tow bar, the brackets are on the front bumper.
I am finished working on it until cold weather comes again. I have some axles out of a parts Jeep that have 3.73 gears. That will be my next project.”
Below is the exhaust system Lawrence has installed on his jeep.
This runs and drives.
“1953 Willys wagon with original motor rebuilt. Starts runs and drives nicely. Does not smoke. Good power for 4 Cylinder. Original 3 speed manual with Dana 18 transfer case. Four wheel drive works fine in both high and low range. New master cylinder. Horn and windshield wipers do not work. Tires hold air but are old so would need a new set. Very little rust. It has been repaired over the rear wheel arches and the front floors have been overlain with steel. Yes, that is real duct tape on the seats—accept no substitutes!!!! This is a good everyday driver as is or would be an easy restore. Comes with a set of original 16 inch rims. Clear title in my name. $2000. Call 406-544-1638 or 549-5943”

Glenn spotted this one.
“Willys wagon Maverick style 2wd with overdrive F-134 overhead engine new brakes/ bearings, all stock but front seats engine runs but smokes good body and glass”
http://omaha.craigslist.org/cto/2958596045.html
This needs an engine.
“1947 Jeep Willys CJ2A. The vehicle has all parts necessary to run minus the engine. The engine blew and is un-repairable. No Rust, 4 wheel drive, low and high gears work perfectly.
New tires less than 200 miles on them.
Rhino lined.
8000lb Winch.
Custom canvas top.
Custom back seat will hold 3 adults. Insured, Registered, clean title.
Tow triangle.
New battery.
Parts not yet installed but included with the sale:
Windshield wiper system (for drivers side window), turn signal kit, rear-view mirror, and two side mirrors.

The reason I’m selling this Jeep is because I am in the USCG and I’m transferring this summer and I do not have the time to replace the engine and get the Jeep back to 100%. I would prefer a local buyer. Price is somewhat flexible pending your shipping/transport arraignments.”

UPDATE: This sold quickly. Was listed at $7500.
Sam, from Flat Fender Willys, has done a large amount of work on this rig, including the installation of a rack and pinion that makes the steering very tight and responsive. This also has a custom dash that tilts forward. Sam would have painted this too, but the seller’s family wanted to keep it mis-matched because they liked the character. If you are interested in a solid, daily driver, this is worth a look.

(04/23/2012) You always know that when sellers point out how solid the frame is … well, the rest of it probably isn’t very good.
“Non running 1947 Willys cj-2a jeep for sale.4 cyl Kasiser/Supersonic eng.3 spd trans/t-case.Good frame with spring over axle conversion already done.Has an M38 hood,CJ5 1/3-2/3 seat frames.Jeep has rust.Motor is loose/spins over.Jeep has no starter,carb,gas tank and no title.”

Treb found this great old picture from East Tawas, Mi. Great pic. Kids, if you try this at home, don’t tell you parents you saw it here!
Marty asked me to post this flyer.
DC bought this jeep back in November. He’s spent sometime doing some updates and just got done taking some pictures. It looks like a great little ride. Enjoy it this summer DC!
