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 $14,000.
This has a replacement body. This may be a 3B or a CJ-5 chassis given it is a 1955.
“Beautiful 1955 Jeep Willys frame off restoration, only 753 miles since it was restored. Has a Buick V6, 3 speed manual,everything is new. Warn winch. This is a show vehicle. Price is firm. Might consider trade offers, no junk please.”
This has been listed a while; it’s unclear if this was ever auctioned or not. This has a Koenig model 535 half-top.

“For sale is a 53 willys that has been sitting for around 7 years behind a church in Newburgh. I acquired it as a project but in my current situation am unable to give it the time and love it deserves. As far as I know it did run when it was parked but obviously doesn’t run now. It is a 69 year old New York vehicle so it has its fair share of rust but has solid bones given the state it had been left in. I am happy to entertain any offers within reason including trades. I have mirrors and the missing part of the rear door as well as a spare front grill.”
Unclear if there’s value here or not.

“I have a 1950’s Jeep COE for sale short bed 4WD! These Jeep’s are very hard to come by. As you can see from the pics it’s got a lot of rot in the body. This is not a project for the average person. This was suppose to be one of the show cases for my business but plans have changed. Yes, I have had this Jeep listed for sale several other times.. I am selling so I can move on to the next project.
I do not have a title & the vin tag that was mounted to the floor is missing from the rusted pans. I have a bill of sale. There is a vin number on the frame. Motor turns over with a ratchet & starter is good. Bed is solid, frame is solid… everything is there besides the floors lol. Please do not hit me up for trades, low ball prices, & “is this available” if the ad is still up it’s still available. I’m in no hurry to sell if that’s the case”
Maybe someone can use the chassis and/or parts?

“Project. The body was shot do not have it anymore. It’s the frame. With clean nj title. I have the windshield grill and roll bar. It’s set up as 12volt system have some other parts like speedo fuel and rear tailgate”

Forget April showers, it’s snowed here the last couple of days in Prosser, setting an April record for snow. We lost power for most of yesterday morning. Updates Wed morning.
Meanwhile, the snow followed Mitch Carter down to Moab, so the usually sunny Easter Jeep Safari week started with a blanket of snow.
At he got some good jeeping on Monday pre-snow (more pics on FB):
Barry Thomas’ photo of this farm working CJ-5 landed on the cover of this month’s Farm Collector Magazine. Congrats to Barry! (it is great photo).
If you have a subscription to Farm Collector Magazine, you should be able to read Barry’s article, too.
UPDATE: Just to be clear, this is not preassembled. It is a kit that needs assembly.
John forwarded me this link to a scale model jeep kit, roughly 22″ long, being sold through MegaHobby.com. At $260.96, it isn’t cheap, but it appears to be a detailed larger scale model. The model is produced by Dragon, which is short for Dragon Models Limited, a company out of Hong Kong, that has been making military diecaet models since 1987.

The solid-letter Desert Dogs are in surprisingly good shape. I’d guess they are roughly at about 50% tread life.

“1949 Willy’s Jeep runs and drives has new 12 volt charging system and front disc brakes take 12,000”
Has a Kelly hardtop. I’m surprised this is still around at this price.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/519456819535577
“Built in 1959, probably 1960 model. Complete, frame seems solid, Chevrolet V8 installed, transfer case for front wheels also in place. No title. 12V system”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This has a few extras, including a Meyer hardtop, a Warn(?) OD, and a custom(?) bed extension. The video below must be from the previous owner.
“1960 Jeep Cj5 225 dauntless V6 3 speed with gear vendor overdrive Twin stick Dana 20 transfer case Runs and drives great, breaks work plenty. Rides great at 45-50mph Do not ask if it’s still available.”
Listed as a 1960, it appears later than that given the fenders and grille. The dashboard is about as minimalist as they get!

“Unknown mileage 134 4 cyl motor 3 speed trans Warn hubs Will run tank is being cleaned now , needs new fuel line , ? Fuel pump ? I have a new never installed correct Carter yf carburetor , [ to replace aftermarket carb ] and factory intake Good battery , tires holding air Heater box Mostly original , complete , uncut No rust through in tub or tool box 3850.00”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
(02/11/2022) The half-top looks refurbed/customized and the roof of this half-cab extends a little too far over the front. It seems that would be a big wind catcher at any decent rate of speed.

“This is a 1965 Jeep CJ5a limited edition Tuxedo Park Mark IV. The Jeep has not run in a few years now, when we parked it my mechanic indicated it had a timing issue and I haven’t gotten back to it since. Compression was good at that time.

Has some mods, including a Warn OD.

Has a ford pinto engine swapped in with stock 3 speed trans and warn overdrive unit. 4 stick jeep. Clean texas title. I have a soft top for it with doors and original pizza cutter steel wheels. Might trade for Harley. Guns. Tractor with loader. Side by sides. Golf carts. Must be equal or similar value”

Needs some brake work. This has about a 3″ to 4″ body lift.
“1952 Jeep Willie’s CJ3A. 351 Cleveland automatic transmission. Somebody put a hydraulic steering in It. Break need cleaned up from setting.”
Could be worth a look. No description provided.
