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 on eBay.
Check out the Serial Number Tag. Seriously? The seller can’t spend 30 seconds to google “cj2a” and verify what they own? (and expect someone else to spend $5500)? Seriously?

(11/03/2010) This sports a fiberglass body and an unusual (probably fiberglass) hood. I’m not sure what the axles are from.

(09/03/2010) The large dashboard speedometer and the cutdown entrances for driver and passenger suggest to me this is a DJ-3A body. Also, the windshield looks like the front portion of a DJ Hardtop. (see what it is supposed to look like on the CJ-3B).
“Custom Jeep Willys. 10,500 OBO gets this awsome jeep. New 3 spd T-90 Transmission and Dana Transfer Case, Tilt wheel, Power Steering , 2.3 Ltr Engine. Too much to list. Must see. Serious enquiries only please.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(12/24/2010) Unclear how ‘little’ work needs to be done.
“Needs a little work ”
A reader named Ron wrote me the other day. He spotted a great deal on a restorable truck at a great price and now has a website with pics of the early work (I’ve included a couple pics below). Click on the photogallery to see all the pics. Ron already has a 1971 CJ-5 and his son a 84 CJ-8; you can see pics of those vehicles in the photogallery as well. Congrats on the find and good luck with the rebuild!
Ron writes, “We are in the middle of the off frame restoration of the 61 Willys. It was purchased new in 61 by a lady with a farm in Connecticut. She ordered it with a snow plow and a hydraulic dump bed. It only has 22,000 miles. I bought it from her grandson.”
Here’s the truck before restoration. It looks like a good starting point.
Here’s a look at how the rear of the dump bed frame looks.
And here’s a closeup of the dump mechanism.
The flattie looks like a rust bucket.

Looks like it has a PTO winch.
“I have an old willys jeep that was going to be a project for the hunting lease that never got started. So with to many projects and not enough time it has to go. I do not have the tittle for it the motor and trans where gone when I got it. Body is very rusty started to remove front clip to install and engine but never finished. Green grille was purchased to replace the yellow one. Axles are original and frame looks solid.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
The best parts might be those aluminum slot rims and tires.

(11/04/2010) It’s a project.
“Maroon 1946 or so CJ-2a rolling vehicle. Comes with F-head motor, not a flathead, and f-head 134 four cylinder. I have the original trans and trans-case installed, with original axles. It has a windshield frame, no glass. There are two seats in reasonably good shape in the jeep. Lots and lots of misc. spare parts- clutch, brake, generators, oil filters, etc. I have a t-90 transmission also available if you want it. The tires are new firestone radial mud and snow-oldie style, which would really look right on a stock rebuild of a jeep or willys wagon. The chrome wheels are not what I would have on a jeep, but the tire/wheel comb is holding air without leaks for a year now. The two front fenders are in need of some patch/repair work, but are repairable. The whole body has been smoothed over with bondo. The maroon hood is complete, I have another hood which was skinned over with sheet aluminum and has a hole in the top for f-head conversion or tall v-8 air cleaner. Second pile of parts is a wrangler chassis-all boxed- with a cj-5 rear tub only. It has a GM 4.3 marine engine mounted in place. Asking 200 for this green pile.There is NO paperwork on these piles of parts, just a handwritten bill of sale from me. Calls ONLY @ 530-906-1797 ask for Mark. Thanks.”

“1946?? willys jeep for sale parts only no title. Has good frame, transmission, axles, and steering parts. THERE IS NO MOTOR IN THE JEEP. top and front bumper do not go with jeep. e-mail with interest.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
It runs. It appears pretty straight.
“1961 Willys Jeep Wagon. Runs and drives, Hurricane flat six, 3 speed with hi-low. Some rust, but not terrible at all. no broken windows and floor board are solid. we have clear title Call 865-1991 with further questions or to setup a time to come take a look at it. Thanks”
The price might be good on this. I can’t tell if there’s rust across the rear bottom of the windshield or if that’s just an illusion.
“runs good needs some brake work 68000 original miles 4 wheel drive works im third owner of the jeep as told to me by the first owner has some body rust but still looks good also has a small black top that is much better looking more pictures available.”

(07/23/2010) I don’t see any indications this is a VEC, but it’s in good shape.
“1945 WILLYS JEEP CJ2A . SMALL BLOCK CHEVY, VERY CLEAN, RANCHO SUSPENSION. WARN OVERDRIVE. MUST SEE!!”
UPDATE: *SOLD** Was $3300
(10/19/09) There is quite a bit of work left in this, including some body work to make the body meet the fenders.
“If you are interested in it…please call do not email or text and I will give you directions. Do not offer me anything less or I will counter with a higher price then I listed it for the price is firm… It just needs a few things like seat belts and a couple of tabs and braces welded on. This is a sick ass Willy’s Jeep 4×4 that has been stretched and has a 231 Buick fireball V6 these are old pictures before I put the other seat in. It has custom headers cherry bombs and all it needs is a little work on the shifter but runs awesome. Price should be a lot more. I have both seats the front windshield and hood that was also stretched not pictured.”

(12/17/2010) This looks like a nice rebuild.
“51 Willys Jeep totally stock running gear completely rebuilt and replaced from the pressure plate to the tips of the axles. 3 speed transmission, transfer case and both axles have been completely gone through and rebuilt with 11″ brakes added and firewall mounted brake pedal. I have $4000 worth of receipts from Back Country Products for the running gear rebuild. This Jeep is all about Nostalgia. The motor is a 1955 Corvette 265 small block Chevy – very rare only 700 Corvettes built in 1955. This motor NEVER HEATS UP even in our hottest weather, wish I could say that of the street rods I have built. With an Enos wiring kit, batt relocated in the rear, nice bucket seats up front with driver seat adjustable so any size person can drive comfortably (I’m a big guy) a custom rear bench seat with 3 sets of lap belts for the grand kids, Corvette chromium yellow paint, a black and white striped bikini top and you begin to see this thing is for show and go. In 6 years since this project was completed I have put exactly 512 miles on it. All hauling kids over to 7-11 for slurpees – well its not far to 7-11. Always garage kept and never once taken off road, that’s why it looks the way it does today. If you don’t want to have people point and stare this is not for you. This thing draws as much attention as my street rods (had two motorcycle cops pull along side and talk Jeeps at a stop light today). This thing pulled the Bonanza High School freshman float at their homecoming this year. I am out of room and want to go off roading with my son and his rock crawler, my wife won’t lend me her Toyota Four Runner for such foolishness. It would be a sin to cut this up into a rock crawler. While it will do off road anthing and more a 51 Willy was designed for I am looking for a more aggresive off road rig and just can’t bring myself to start with such a beauty that is doing what is was built to do. Asking $5800 or trade for more aggressive off road vehicle or a Polaris Sportsman EFI. I don’t have to sell and I don’t have junk so don’t even go there with your offers. Don’t tell my grand kids… boy am I in trouble. Serious persons can call Gene 702-379-3980
