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 $475!
Includes Rear PTO! It runs, too.
“Barn Fresh, 1947 CJ2A Willys farm Jeep. All original farm Jeep with rear mounted PTO. Has L-head 4 cyl. Engine runs but runs rough. Tires shot. Has sat in barn since 1985. Sold where is as is. Cash only.”

Looks nice.
“1965 kaiser willys jeep tuxedo park mark IV – cj5a restored and runs good! Must see”
From the photos, I wouldn’t describe this as being in “good condition”.

This might be the right fit for someone’s project.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/pts/2930149097.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500.
It looks good from the small pics.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800. It seems to have a Worman hardtop.
(01/11/2012) Abe forwarded this. It does not run. It appears to include a plow.
“late ’50s Jeep CJ-3A currently not running, mostly complete, 6 volt system. It comes with an aftermarket Jee-Cap aluminum top and doors with opening windows. The body tub is rough, and someone has replaced the rear corners with welded steel panels. Ugly but functional. The frame seems solid and all the mechanicals are there. Great winter project. I will include several Jerry cans, extra radiator and voltage regulator, and the tire chains this jeep came with.
The Snowbear plow in my other ad would fit this nicely. Package price $1,400.
Cash is great, but I might also be willing to trade this Jeep for a 1993-2000 Honda TRX300 4×4 fourtrax (NOT AN EX!)depending on what it needs, even not running or totally complete. I would also consider a ’98 or newer Ski-Doo Grand Touring, depending on condition. Send me pictures with your reply.
I am also listing a 1979 Honda XL350, a Snowbear plow, a Honda Recon four wheeler, some Honda enduro plastics and a utility trailer in other listings. Please take a look, as I will do package deals for any or all of these items.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
(11/22/2010) This looks like a worth project for the price (it doesn’t sound like there’s much to do)
“I got this on a trade I had visions of making a finished hot rod with it but I just dont have the time anymore. Its mounted and channeled over a S-10 frame with the 4.3 liter engine still in it. The engine still runs but there is no gas tank installed. There is a pretty fair amount of metal fab left, but if you have the skills needed for this project it would make a cool ride. There is minimal rust left on the body. The old floor was rotted out and a new floor put in by the previous owner. I have some more pics if needed. This is located in Broadhead WI which is about 1/2 hour west of Beloit , WI. I live in Sycamore, IL so anyone wanting to see will need to make arrangement with me to look at it.”
UPDATE: Here are a couple links to more pictures of all the concept vehicles — Mark provides some additional pictures and analysis at jeeptruck.com.

Mitch mentioned that better pictures of the FC Concept Truck had been released. I found the one below at yahoo. That’s a rugged looking truck.
I found this picture of Henry J Kaiser sitting in this jeep, but I can’t tell what kind of jeep it is. It looks like a cross between a flatfender (front) and M151 (rear). I am wondering if it was a prototype of some sort. Anyone recognize it? Note the four bolt rims.
UPDATE: We are all ready for tomorrow. Can’t wait to meet everyone!

(01/21/2012) This is worth a closer look. The seller only wants to deal with people in person.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(09/11/2011) The body is a M-38, but the serial number indicates a CJ-3B. (though the 153-GB2 should actually be 453-GB2). So, I’m gonna guess that has been assembled from several jeeps.
“1953 Jeep Willys. In running condition. Serial # 153-GB2 30912.”
