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 .

Looks nice.
“This “Civilian Jeep” was restored in 1987 into this classic driver. It is all original except the charging system which was converted from a 6v to a 12v. This 4WD has been loved by one owner since 1960 and has PTO (power take off). Must see to appreciate this great driver. Offering a steal at $7500 but may be willing to negotiate or trade with reasonable circumstances. Give me a call with any questions or to take a look.”

There may be some part value here as it should have a PTO at the very least.

This might be worth a look for a parts jeep. The seller’s logic is a bit of a stretch, implying this is a deal because new iCONs start at $80,000.
“1976 CJ5 Willys Jeep. Will need rebuild / restore. Currently does not run. 50k, cloth top, 4 speed manual and AMC wheels.
It is pretty rare to come across Willys jeeps. New these start around 80k under a new badge, iCON jeeps. Could be the ultimate off-road vehicle if he found the right owner.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
Looks like a nice little jeep.

Needs some work to get back to drivable condition. Was last started about five years ago and ran OK then. E-mail any questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700
(09/30/2011) This is a running jeep, though it runs on propane. It sounds like it might be a good deal, though it needs a few things.
“The Willys is a 1947 CJ2A. I picked it up near Fresno last year with no eng and trans. I found an orig T90 and Dana 18. in Wickenberg AZ. At this point I was going to restore it back to original I was unable to find a flat head 134.
I made the decision change the engine.
I changed it from a 78 truck 30k on the engine. Re-sealed the engine converted it to run on propane with Impaco 425 kit . I used Novak adapters for the trans and engine mounts a new Griffin aluminum radiator. The Willy’s starts and runs you can drive it. All it needs is a electric fan and an exhaust to be done.”
UPDATE: Was $800. **SOLD**

I had hoped to do updates tonight, but after a busy and successful day in Denver, I am wiped. I will do updates tomorrow on the road as we head back to Nebraska. We hope to make it to Omaha before the snow storm descends upon us.
I did want to thank James for inviting Ann and I to see his project (pictures tomorrow). I also wanted to thank Guy for his invitation to tour the Pikes Peak International Raceway, which I will have to delay until my next visit to Colorado Springs.
Here are a couple pics from Casa Bonita, which is a fun tourist trap in Denver. We had a great time. The first pic is Ann and I and the second one is me doing the Mamba (strangely, I was the only adult doing the Mamba …). We have pics of the cliff divers, but they came out a bit too dark.
Roberto decided to track the evolution of this illustration as he created it. Below are a couple of pics, but you can see them all here. Thanks for sharing Roberto!
I made my first ascent of Pike’s Peak today. Accompanied by Ann and her nephew Michaes, we braved the beautiful blue skies and perfect temperatures to wind our way to the 14,110 foot summit. From Colorado Springs it took about an hour to reach the peak. Three things surprised me about the ascent. 1) The toll road cost $39 to drive (car plus 3 passengers); 2) Santa’s workshop sits at the base of Pike’s Peak (who knew)?; 3) The concessionaire at the top of the peak is famous for its donuts (which were pretty good).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(01/02/2011) “1962 FC170 Jeep this is a custom made snow plow. really heavy duty. Straight blade no angle, winch up and down. Has a 318 dodge engine for power. 4 speed trans and single stick transfer case. Chains for all 4 wheels locking hubs. This thing can move a mountain of snow.”

Here’s a nicely updated rig.
“1963 Willys Overland Pickup (Jeep) with 1982 Chevy drive train; 305 cubic inch Chevy engine; 4 speed standard transmission; 4-wheel drive with locking front hubs; driving lights; interior lights; am/fm cassette. This vehicle has been in storage since 2002 in an enclosed garage. New brakes, new tires and rims and new am/fm cassette were all installed in 2002. We just recently installed a new battery and fuel filter. She runs great. We started her up and drove her to a nearby gas station for a fill-up. Lots of fun to drive and gets lots of attention. Will need aircare. Lynn Valley North Vancouver location. $9,000.00.”
This might be a good price.
