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 .

“54 willys cj3b high hood. Extremely nice jeep. Has a 289 small block ford. with a 3 speed transmission with a warn overdrive. Warn winch. Custom front and rear bumpers. Racing bucket seats and a back seat. Rhino lined tub on the inside. No rust in jeep. Like new 33×12.5 mud terrains. Really nice jeep.”
Here’s the Tender that started it all.
It was this Tender that came on the market by the previous owner that got me asking the question, what is this thing? So, it is with some irony that Bob forwarded this Ad to me and asked whether this isn’t a modified wagon rather than an actual Tender. The thing is, there is one other just like this that was for sale. You can view it here. So, I’m not as sure that it was a custom job.
“1951 Willys overland panel wagon that has been chopped into a pick up. Runs and drives, needs master cylinder, and front fenders bolted back on, needs new tires or tubes, 26,000 original miles, 4 wheel drive all fully functional and tight. Has currant registration and title in hand.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $250
(04/08/2011) This looks like a CJ-5/m-38a1 cage. You can tell because the front loop bend is pretty high, compared to low hood flatfender frontloops where the bend should start lower, and the front loop is the same width as the rear loop (thanks HOG).
“This cage came out of my 51jeep willys. It is powder coated blue with dark blue flacks and has two RCI seats. Asking 300obo. Thank for looking. Luke. call or tex but please no email. 3604023307”

Looks solid. I think it runs, too.
“Vintage 1948 Willys Overland Jeep, model CJ-3A, with Sears half cab body and ISAR hydraulic pump system for snow plow (plow is not included).
CONDITION: Drive train, consisting of engine, transmission and transfer cases, is in good condition with no known problems. Non-directional tread tires and tubes are excellent. Steering box, brakes, shock absorbers, instrument gauges, body and seats all need restoration. New gas tank was installed about two years ago.
This jeep is an excellent candidate for restoration back to original conditon or, as a work vehicle on a farm or private property. Included are parts book (numbers and descriptions), mechanic’s manual and parts catalog. All, reasonable, Best Price offers considered.”
Alex spotted this illustration of a rocking jeep a long time ago. Thanks for sharing it. I think these would sell . . .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
I wonder what’s underneath all that diamond plating. The yellow one looks solid.

For a $7800 jeep, the body looks pretty rough. Check out where the windshield has been mounted. That looks a little strange.
“This is as clean as they come. 145 puonds compression on all cylinders , fresh paint no rust , winch , new seat covers , shocks ,7.50 X 16 D mud grip tires , 12 volt conversion. This jeep has been on a ranch in TX since 1978 and taken care of. DOG NOT INCLUDED !!!!!”

UPDATE: Pics now provided.
(03/27/2011) Doesn’t run at the moment.
“I have had it for years and last used it in 2003. I put new tires on it at that time. It has a homemade metal top but no doors. It has a tow bar. It would take a battery and some carb cleaning to get it started up again. That is what I did when I bought it. The bad part as far as mechanical is it has no brakes. I never needed them as it is geared very low in low range and the other thing is when I got it the clutch had no fel to the pedal. I replaced the spring on the throwout bearing and that gave me a working clutch. Well, it has either come loose or broken so it is not working again. The spring is about 2.00 but you have to unbolt the transmission to put it on. I would like to get my aproximately 2500. out of it as I know in a day it would be back running but I do not have time. It has a little slack in the steering but the engine and transmission is fine. You could count the fan revolutions turning when it was running.Asking 2500. but would listen to a trade of something unusual and cash. This little thing would idle through almost anything but my family has no interest in it. Make an offer. It was red when I got it years ago and I spray painted it camo. That paint is coming off so it looks uglier than it really is.It has been kept in my barn. Call 662-288-Six Zero Two Zero”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s an ex-Forest Service jeep with plenty of original extras.
“1963 Willys CJ3B U.S.F.S. Jeep for sale. This unit underwent a very expensive rebuild down to the last nut and bolt during 2006-2007. Since then it has lived in our dry garage with a soft cover on it. It has about 540 miles on it and used on sunnydays, a few weddings, parades, crusing the Nathez Trace, etc. I just uncovered it, cranked it up and drove out in the yard and snapped these pictures.If you are a Willys person you can see the care that was taken in putting this unit back into service. The color is 1962 willys cerulean blue with correct seats and covers. We have a rear passenger seat not shown that goes with it. The new sheet metal is from Willys Overland in Toledo, OH. All mechanicals are remanufactured by professionals, no patching, period. In addition to the standard equipment: F-134 Hurricane Engine, 3 spd transnsmission, 2 speed transfer case, original 1962 lock-out front hubs, 16” willys steel wheels. The goverment agencies added from the Willys Dealer on this one: Belt Driven Variable Speed Engine Governor, Rear P.T.O. Drive for Implements, Front P.T.O. Drive for the Keonig King Winch with plasma rope, Warn Over Drive for Highway travel, Fuel Pump with Vacuum Motor to operate 2 Windshield Wipers, F-3 Engine Oil Cleaner, Spartan Self Cancelling Turn Signals and more. Everything is as it should be. We prefer an alternator to insure reliability. The jeep is very quiet, and safe. If you want to built a rust free “new” willys you will spend double the price of this one. If you want to go on fun Jeep Rides and be the talk of any car show, it is available. Look on www.cj3bpage.com and go to 1962 owners. It is feautured there with another write-up and more pictures.”
This frigid CJ-2A suffered through consecutive days in the 20s in Columbia, South Carolina, this winter. It was snapped on January 7, 2010 and published at wunderground.com.
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
“1953 Willy M38A1 For Sale, Original rims included. $2500.00”

This jeep has wood parts? And what is sticking out the front grille? The rear corners on this look a little sharp.
“I have a 1950 willys jeep with some wood parts that I need to sale that has about $2,000.00 to pay it off.

It looks like the driver’s side entrance might have been trimmed.
