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 $3000

(05/20/2011) Apparently, this runs, sort of.
“I have for sale a nice Jeep CJ6. A CJ6 has the same parts as a CJ5, but is 20 inches longer. Ideal to make a Scrambler which is only 2 inches longer. Jeep has 4 cylinder F head 3 speed. Very nice tires, two (2) extra front fenders and a very nice extra windshield frame with glass. No front seats, no battery, but has a back seat if wanted. Also has a rollbar (not pictured). Jeep runs with a temporary electric fuel pump which I removed and purchased a new manual pump (not installed) Jeep ran off of a fuel can, but a good fuel tank is included. Good title.

(04/14/2011) This looks like a real solid CJ-3A for an east coast flattie. Might make a really good restoration project.

I didn’t see too many jeeps, so I’ll skip tonight and post on Friday.
Someone is saying to themselves, “I knew I should have put the jeep in the garage.” This CJ-3B is located in Iqaluit, a Canadian town way up and out there, in relation to me anyway. The photograph was taken just a few days ago (as best as I can tell) by Ron Wassink. I think the jeep is for sale, too, for those that want to take a REAL road trip, but bring your back hoe to dig it out of the snow.
From Wikipedia, “Iqaluit was founded in 1942 as an American airbase, geographically located to provide a stop-over and refueling site for short range fighter aircraft being ferried across the Atlantic to support the war effort in Europe. Iqaluit’s first permanent inhabitant was Nakasuk, an Inuk guide who helped American Air Force planners to choose a site with a large flat area suitable for a landing strip. Long regarded as a campsite and fishing spot by the Inuit, the place chosen had traditionally been named Iqaluit – “place of many fish” in Inuktitut – but Canadian and American authorities named it Frobisher Bay, after the name of the body of water it abuts.”
Mark wrote me to share with me one of Houston’s unique cultural events. They were the originating city for the Art Car Parade. Houston launched the parade in 1988 with 40 cars and a couple thousand spectators. Today the number of cars in the parade will top 250, with around 250,000 spectators. The 2011 Houston Art Car Parade will be held this weekend.
Naturally, did a few searches to see if I could any jeeps, but I only found two. So, below them are a few curious creations that have appeared over the years.
Here we have the PEEP JEEP, a jeep decorated with peeps.
This appears to be a bengal jeep of some sort:
And here are some random pics:
The 3rd Annual FC Get Together in Olympia, Wa, originally planned for August 5-7, 2011, has been cancelled. Doug, who ran and hosted the event, sold his business and is moving to Arizona. If anyone would like to host the event, Doug will be happy to supply contact info and other information.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Prices.
It appears there are a couple M-38A1s and at least one M-38.
“Beautiful World War Jeeps, Classic sets that appear just like it was back in 1951. Run Wonderfully. Clean Body. Excellent Condition! Extraordinary feeling when seeing it in action! Great For collector, to display at shows, movies, parades! Feel free to visit and take a look! 🙂 ”
This doesn’t appear to be a VEC, but I can’t tell for sure. This might be a good price.
“Too many projects!!! This old classic has the original 4 cylinder L-Head it is missing the starter motor so i really couldnt tell you if it runs. This would be a fun project and toy for those jeeps enthusiasts!”
http://logan.craigslist.org/cto/2389053952.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
It’s missing the body and the motor is disassembled.
“As the title said it a 47 willys minus body. Motor is been takin apart but all is there. Transmission transferable axles and drive shafts are all still all hooked up and work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
It runs.
“1951 WILLYS JEEP 4×4 with original 4 cylinder engine that runs good, 31x 10.50 super swamper tires with 75% or better tread this jeep was used as hunting jeep on hunting lease until the lease was sold. It has a title and can be yours for a price of $2000.00 or obo.
This was a hunting jeep and looks like one if you want a daily driver or a show jeep buy this one and put some money in it and you can have one.”
It looks like the side was sponge painted.
“Original 6 volt system. Upgrades include: new brakes, shocks and lock-out hubs. Recently installed spare tire rack, not in picture. Has built in tool box. Runs great and is ready for the lease or ranch! Price is firm and fare for a Jeep Willys of this quality at $3,500. Can be seen in Gatesville, TX. I suggest you bring a trailer for transport to your house or ranch. The tires are great for the pasture but not good for the street. Will respond to email or call TWO 5 FOUR-6 FOUR 4- FIVE 6 THREE 7. Please no scams.”

This doesn’t look it too bad of shape.
“95% original, runs, but could use breaks and seals, new seats, email with questions and offers”
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/2389164193.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
I’m not sure if “will run” means does run or what it will take to make it run.
“1950 Jeep CJ2A – Complete. Will run, good project. Asking – $1850.00.”
This restored CJ-5 is listed over at sellajeep.com. This does include a windshield, though it isn’t shown in the pictures.

(04/24/2011) Bryan is selling this CJ-2A with a running engine.
“Runs and drives. 4wd works. Its a 1946 CJ2A willys jeep. asking 1500 OBO”
Dan continues to make good progress on the reconstruction of his grandfather’s CJ-5. Below, Dan shares both the latest images and images from 20 years ago, with him driving. If you don’t remember the non running, poor condition of the jeep, you can view the early restoration pics here. Thanks Dan and keep going! And, I promise I’ll up there sometime this summer to collect the beer you offered 🙂
This past weekend Pete, from the Old Willys Forum, drove down to the 2nd Annual Willys Moab Rally 2011 put on by Casey Dimmitt. He reports that they had plenty of fun and wished they could stay longer. Pete put this video together (I think to make us all jealous so that we’ll join them next year!). Thanks for sharing Pete, I love that area!
This has a front and rear PTO.
“I have a 1946 cj2a flat fender jeep for sale. It needs a little work, but runs great, and will drive you around town!. The jeep is FULL of rare and sought after parts. The motor is a flat head inline 6 out of a Willys jeepster, which was only offered for two years with this motor “VERY RARE”. T-90 3 speed tranny, Dana 18 t-case w/ a spicer PTO unit front & rear. Dana 44 rear axle with new bearings and seals / Dana 27 front, both axles have the biggest brakes offered for any jeep…11″ drums. Snagsaw steering box, swing pedals, power brakes, line lock for brakes, 6500lbs pto winch. The jeep is sitting on heavy duty springs out of a milltary jeep. Tires are 33″. I have done stuff like installed a new gas tank and boiled out the rad, new oils and seals. I also have some cool extras, ww2 Windsheild frame, brand new in the box wiring harness. The previous owner had the jeep registered NON-OP, but the title is gone however there is a tag on the firewall and came with plates. I called DMV and the told me it would be no big deal just bring them the jeep and new plates could be issued the same day! The body is in good shape, the floors are in great shape.
She runs great and is so fun to drive, you’ll have WWII vets coming out of the woodwork wanting to talk, and thumbs up everywhere.”
