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: This sold quickly! Was listed at $1500 (and accidentally listed as a FC-175 by yours truly)
(12/17/2010) This looks restorable.
“

This looks rough.

This has a bobcat fiberglass hood and some classic mini-terras.
“1953 CJ2A Jeep. Buick V6, Power steering.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(09/10/09) I haven’t seen too many blue tops. It appears to have a replacement body.

It’s a project, but appears as solid as the seller suggests.
“I BOUGHT TWO WILLYS AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAD PLANNED TO FIX UP THE 1946 BUT THE WIFE..WELL YOU KNOW…. ” WHY DO YOU NEED TWO JEEPS !! ” OKAY WHATEVER. THE ONE I AM KEEPING DRIVES, BUT NOT IN NEARLY AS GOOD SHAPE AS THE ONE I AM SELLING ! THE BODY IS IN GREAT SHAPE , I HAVE EVERYTHING IT NEEDS TO PUT BACK TOGETHER AND DRIVE EXCEPT AN T90 TRANNY , T18 TRANSFERCASE. THE ENGINE RAN GOOD BEFORE IT WAS PULLED BUT I PLANNED TO PUT A 283 CHEVY V8 IN IT. COMES WITH ALL THE STUFF TO WIRE IT FOR 12 VOLT. TIRES ARE 90% AND THE CHASIS ROLLS EASILY. NO TOP. THANKS , ”
This needs work and is priced a bit high for a project; however, I’m betting this has a variety of drive train updates.
“Project for the Jeep enthusiast! Has been sitting in shop for a while, husband passed away, he started work on it, never finished. Call for what info you want….

(11/14/2010) I think that’s a fiberglass front clip? It is basically a buggy.
“this is a custom buggy body on a 1960 willy jeep chassy was working on making a really cool rock crawler but ran out of money it runs needs little things to make it a good vehicle not for street just off roading comes with 4 off roading tires i am asking 700 obo please call 928 486 5004 call for any questions or want to come look at it in person.”

(12/06/2010) It’s a 53 with a 63 title, the reasons for that isn’t explained.

Ok, ignore the “no update” post below. I do have one update. I found this article from Popular Science, August 1945, as part of my search (mentioned below).
Given it’s the holidays, calling tonight a Silent Night seems appropriate as I found very few jeeps for sale of interest. So, the few I found I’ll save for tomorrow.
Besides, I’ve been checking out the new Google Books search query and have found some additional family history to add to my geneology research.
Right now I’m doing a search on “Willys Jeep” using Google Books and hope to find something interesting. If I do, I’ll report it tomorrow. Enjoy your night!
Located in Petaluma, California, The Richard Penry Medal of Honor Memorial Military Museum appears to have two Willys. One is well restored (though I have a question) and the Second one is part of a diorama and tipped on its side.
Here’s the first, a Slat Grille MB. These images are from Wikipedia. My question is … isn’t that front cross member from a GPW and not a MB? Or am I missing something?
The back of this MB:
Here’s the tipped over Willys. I couldn’t find a better pic of this.
Roberto has an Expo occurring soon in Spain. Of course, he has to add a Willys to the poster :-). Best of luck with your expo Roberto!
Blaine spotted this unusual item. This appears to be some kind of 100 year celebration of the Philipines. How the Coke/Jeepney tribute add to this celebration is unclear to me.
UPDATE: This appears to have been sold.
There looks to be value here.
“1943 Jeep Ford GPW body complete with very little rust. Have title. Engine does not run but is complete. Has big tires and is painted purple. Great vehicle for restoration or engine upgrade. I have more pictures I can email $500 OBO”
http://ventura.craigslist.org/cto/2114871114.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(05/22/2010) “1947 CJ2A WILLYS JEEP FLAT FENDER 4 CY MOTOR. ALL STOCK DRIVE TRAIN. GOOD BODY. AND FAIR PAINT 4500.00”
Brett spotted this find. It appears to include an overdrive, so this might not be a good price. It even runs.
“Very cool Jeep CJ-5, Runs and drives but needs a tune up. Way fun to drive and would be an awesome muddin’ machine. This jeep is rare as in its the old military style. It is a manual and has the 3 little shifters along with gear shifter. i dont know much about it come and buy it today!”

This looks sound.
“Engine Purrs Nice, Foot Brake pressure hard to apply. Please Call Jon : @ 575-613-2897.”
http://santafe.craigslist.org/cto/2114245999.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000
(12/15/2015) It looks nice; is this missing the rear bow holder?
“this is a frame off total restoration with full documentation. i am the second owner. the jeep is totally original with only 500 miles on the rebuilt motor. it is in mint condition, like rolling off of the dealers show room!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The price appears good, however the engine, though running, needs to be replaced for some reason. Also, I would check out the passenger side entrance as it looks either dented or bondoed (or both).
“This is a super cool 51 Willys! This old jeep would be a great project to restore to its glory days! Engine will run, but will need to be replaced.”
Jim asked me to post this hard top he is selling. It looks like it might be a DJ-3A top.
“I removed this top from my 1952 willys m 38 jeep and it does not fit in with my plan to build my jeep, it does not have any doors It did nt have doors when I bought it.It has a little surface rust fiberglass top is in good cond.Sorry I do not have the meens to put pics on.
