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 .
Ann’s aunt spotted this ad in a Wheeler Dealer Magazine at Walmart (yes, I have agents scouring everywhere . . .lol). The 56 miles seems hard to swallow . . . maybe 56 miles since the paint job?
“1951 Jeepster with 56 actual miles Red/Black convertible with top. Needs a good home. PH 480-338-5040.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
I’m thinking this needs more than clutch work.
“I am selling a 1958 Willy’s CJ3B. It has a Buick V6 in it. No top. Needs Clutch work, and some TLC. Extra chassis if wanted. 3 speed manual transmission. Asking 1500 obo. Email with questions or offers. Open to possible trades. ”
This is a project.
“Willys Jeep CJ-My old 4×4 jeep needs a home with someone that has the time to keep her going. She needs a lot of work and tires and paint but was running when I last started her several years back.
This is the kinda project you can get going and take through the brush without worrying about scratches or dings…it ain’t pretty…it’s a ranch/hunting lease tool.
It’s a project…not something you can take and drive…you’ll have to do some work first. I don’t have the time to keep rebuilding the original carb with it’s leather accelerator pump diaphragm…a smart rebuilder would probably just put a newer carb on it. Needs brakes, seats(frames are there), tires, TLC.
lowballers…forget it…I’ve got about a two year window for selling.
modern firearms/real samurai swords/partial trades considered”

(03/13/2011) This is a beautiful FC, however there are at least 3 issues I have with this: 1) See image #3, note the chevrolet like design … sigh … 2) See image #4, note the ‘150’ logo rather than ‘170’ … really? …. 3) the bumper isn’t quite stock, but doesn’t look all that bad.

It needs some work. The seats are odd.
“I am selling my 1948 Willys Jeep cj2a. The engine was rebuilt from ground up about 2 years ago. The fuel tank, body, generator, and radiator need work and it needs new seats. It is in need of a good home who can provide TLC and finish its rebuild. I am starting at $3000 but willing to negotiate for the right person. Please let me know if you are interested in seeing it or have any questions.”
UPDATE: Rick forwarded me some ‘before’ pics of his jeep. It was rough.
Rick shared this story with me a few days ago. He has promised to send me some ‘before’ pictures.
He wrote, “Hi Dave. I bought a 1948 willys jeep in Montana off Craigslist 2 years ago for $700. Unfortunately, I never got up there to get it, because soon after I bought I was diagnosed with cancer. I am a Captain at the Medford Fire Department; as a surprise to me, my fellow fighters went to montana, brought it back and completely rebuilt it. My wife was in on it too. On December 23rd, 2011, they presented it to me. I was completely surprised! Want to see it?”
Of course I told him I’d love to see it! So, here it is. Thanks for sharing your marvelous story Rick. The jeep looks wonderful. You’ve got some great friends in Medford!

This looks in good shape, though the floor carpet makes it hard to evaluate the floor.
“1953 Jeep Willys CJ3B. Great running reliable Jeep willys originally purchased by US Navy for base use as depicted on plaque installed on dash. Not a show quality vehicle but not a rust bucket and no areas needing to be addressed. Original color was orange for naval base use to identify allied vehicles. Used on weekends with my kids for parades, jeep events, and beach trips. It has a great running 4 cylinder with manual transmission .Starts right up every time,no leaks, Has tow bar, 4 Wheel drive works as it should with no mechanical issues whatsoever. Tires installed within last year. Has spare tire not mounted. Hard top can be removed and comes with alternate windshield and glass. Seat covers are like new. Interior has been completely covered in soundproofing to reduce exterior noise. All lights, blinkers, turn signals, radio, work perfectly.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this vehicle just not being used enough to justify keeping. Classic insurance is only 85.00 per year and qualifies for classic QQ tags and registration.”
