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 $1650
(03/18/2011) It runs and is supposed to have little rust. Might be a good deal.
“I have a 1952 Willys M38 Jeep for sale. Great project, has the original flat head 4 cylinder engine which still runs, not much rust, tub is in good shape, comes with 2 different rollbars and extra parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900
(02/27/2011) Lots of customization to this flattie.
“Flat Fender Willy’s Jeep. 350 Chevy engine, headers, Edelbrock carb and intake, aluminum radiator, Accel electronic ignition, runs very strong. TH350 Chevy automatic transmission mated to what I believe is a Toyota aluminum transfer case with a Downey adapter. I believe the front and rear axles, frame, and steering to be Toyota also. Power brakes, nearly new 36×12.5×15 TSL Super Swamper radials on Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels. The tires still have the nubs on them. It has a Bestop soft top only, Simpson harnesses, Mallory gauges and electric fuel pump. I’m not sure how much lift this thing has, but the frame rails are about 24” above the ground, it has a trailer hitch. It has an older paint job and there is bondo cracking especially where they molded in the flares and hood scoop. This Jeep is titled as a 1998 assembled vehicle. $5900or possible trades for old school Harley, rat rod, hot rod, ’70-72 Chevy 4×4 short bed, ???? Reply to this ad with pics. Trade value must be equal or higher than my cash price, will negotiate for cash. I have a second ’47 Willys rock crawler that I would be willing to sell or add to the deal, email for pics/details. I ended up with both of them and am not a Jeep guy. Thanks for looking.”
Thanks to Brian for spotting this video. Though the music overshadows the narrator in many instances, there are a wide variety of images presented that make it work a look.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100.

Hard to tell just how bad the body is.
“1947 Jeep CJ2A, Includes everything in the pictures. Motor not in vehicle, but is original motor. Clear title and current plates. Project vehicle that needs a lot of work. Price: $800 / Best offer?”
It’s rough, but it runs and drives.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Carl wants to sell his good looking CJ-7 so he can purchase a flattie.
“This is my pride and joy. 1976 CJ7 4X4 with a quadratrac transfer case with high and low range. I started with a 76 cj7, took it down to the frame and started restoring. I spent 3 years building this jeep, invested tons of money and countless hours. I am only selling due to financial reasons.
All parts were cleaned, primed, painted, replaced or upgraded. The jeep is painted single stage John Deere yellow with Gun Metal Grey trim. Paint is excellent and just over a year old.(There are a few small cracks) Ready to go another 35 years. This jeep was designed for reliability. It has power steering and manual brakes. Manual brakes work excellent, no need to upgrade to power they work so well. The engine sound very solid and does not smoke. It had to have been rebuilt not so long ago. Transmission shifts smooth.
Will need a horn relay, the stereo hooked up and speakers, clock does not work. I would move the emergency drive switch from the glove box to the center consol. The glove box door hits the roll cage when trying to open. I have a few extra parts to go with it.
The top is gray and the doors are black. The top is not the newest but it works just fine…. view more description on eBay”
This might be a fine price. It appears solid.

“46′ willies flat fender, has a v-6 conversion, original 3 spd. and dual stick transfer case, floors a little rough, body straight, nice solid frame and running gear”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
“1959 Willys CJ5 Civilian Jeep 3 spd 4WD in excellent condition, with 19,496 orig miles. I have owned this jeep since 1980. In 1982, I restored and painted the body and installed a new clutch, pressure plate, and a throw out bearing. Given the low mileage, all the mechanicals were in excellent condition and still are. A few years ago the exhaust manifold was replaced. For the past 30 years the jeep has been on my farm and just used there occasionally. I purchased the vehicle with a 60 inch snow plow, although was not used to plow snow. It has military tires, as seen in the pictures, as well as a spare (not in the picture.) Three extra new military tires and the snow plow will be included. This jeep has been carefully maintained and stored in a clean, climate controlled shop.’
No pics and no specifics.
“I have lots of willy’s jeeps and parts for sale. Call Ed at 402-689-5105.”
The driver’s fender is banged up, but I can’t tell much else. It needs a starter at the very least.
“Runs great just needs a starter it can be rebuilt for around $30. Really solid great runing jeep. It’s 4×4 and all original call or text anytime for pics and info. I do have the doors. Might trade for quad dirt bike car ect. 812-606-0515”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It doesn’t run at the moment, but looks solid.
“This is a 95% complete and original Willys CJ-2A. It is a perfect unmolested candidate for restoration to drive in a parade or to the beach this summer. It has always been stored indoors. The original L-134 Go Devil engine turns over freely with its own starter. I do not have time for this project and so I am choosing to sell it. I am including a spare Borg Warner T90 transmisison and Dana Spicer Model 18 transfer case for parts. Consider trade for wide front end farm tractor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
This cj-5 is a little different.
“1957 willys jeep with plow new tires new paint looks and runs great”

This has a tempest slat 4 cyl. It looks like someone did a nice job of installing the updated steering column as well. Here’s a built example of the same motor.
Here is a link to a Jalopy Journal thread about 4cyls. The Mercruiser 3.7 and the Ford 2.3s seemed to be a favorite for fun 4cyl installs.
