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 .

A reader named Robert in Reno, Nevada, is looking for an engine for his Wagon.
Robert writes, “I’m looking for a Lighting L-6 161 Engine 673 Model 1950/1951 for my 51 Willys stationwagon”
If anyone knows of anything, just add a comment or email me and I’ll let Robert know.

“Was my plow vehicle So It comes with the plow. New clutch, New rebuilt starter with bendix. Starter not installed. I was going to start a rebuild of the body, Dont have time moving soon. The engine runs great. Heres two pics. The 1/2 cab is original and has two doors with it. The hydrolics work with the plow.Questions just ask. Needs a brake job has new shoes but slave cylinders need honed and new cups.950.00 or best offer You wont drive this away,It needs gas tank cleaned out(Kids were puting something in it,The starter needs installed,It needs seats.This is more of a restore project.it does run and drive needs some work to get it road worthy but a restore is what I was or will do if not sold. Pic by the plow has fender looking shabby?? I started taking it apart for restore but stoped,Till I have garage room for winter.”
This runs, but needs a battery.
“Willy’s jeep plow truck- I bought this jeep a year ago for 700 dollars and never got around to fixing it. The jeep runs, just needs a new battery. New brake lines installed, but needs new pump. This jeep can be a plowing machine with little work. asking 500$ obo. I no longer have time to fix this so I have priced it at a fair price. call 845-313-7196”

Gerald found an old email with some great links. Here are a few of some crated Willys. I don’t have any background or ownership information on them.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This might be a great project, but depends on the condition of the body and if that engine has been rebuilt.
“i HAVE EVERYTHANG FOR THE JEEP CALL FOR INFO”
It needs work.

“This is a 1955 Jeep CJ5.. VERY RARE and Very nice conditon Hardtop and doors. HY-LO hyd plow, running F-head motor. I purchased this Jeep as a plow vehicle but have moved on to other pursuits. 2 known issues… The Carb floods the engine. The gaskets are either dry rotted or the carb needs to be rebuilt or replaced.. New ones are $100.. The frame is cracked right infront of the passenger rear wheel. It can be patched, ($50) but a Good condition used frame is included in the price. Brakes work great. The jeep can be ready to plow for $150… Bill of sale only..”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
You know I love the Hurricane Rims …
“1954 Willys CJ3, Has original 4 cylinder engine that runs very nice, new clutch, One quarter panel has some rust where the tire use to mount otherwise it is a very nice tub for the year. The windshied is cracked I just had glass made for my CJ2 and it was 100.00 to make. The seats are not the original and they need to be installed. Clear title,”
The price is a bit high for a non runner; however, this this appears to be a good restoration candidate.
“1952 Jeep wagon, 98% rust free Georgia vehicle, still has GA title. All original in good condition except the addition of 2bbl Chevy 283 V8. Engine turns over but wont start. Call Bill @ 770-500-2126 Other”

This might make a real nice project.

“1946 Jeep, civilian model, partialy dissassembled, needs complete restoration, complete with top bows and rear seat, $1600”
The starting bid on this unusual DJ-3A is $2499. I would be VERY interested to see the underside of this body to see what exactly happened to the rear of this vehicle. This has a picture of some kind of Atlanta Army Depot tag, but I don’t know if this is real or not. Note that I had to lighten parts of a couple of the pics, which is why they look a little odd.
“I am not sure what year model this is or model. I am going by what I have been told and what I have seen on the internet. I think it is a DJ-3A 2 wheel drive delivery Jeep somewhere around a 50 model. It does run and drive I have driven it around the parking lot some. I think it has a blown head gasket. I have a new extra engine still in the crate flat head 4 cylinder engine and 3 speed manual trans. I have this for sale local and will end it if it sales. It has some rust in the floors and a few other places as you can see in the pics. I do not have a title. Alabama does not issue a title for a vehcile older that a 75. I will issue you a Notarized Bill of Sale. E-mail me any questions you have.”
This appears solid, but the seller says there is some project(s) to do.

(08/19/2010) Here’s a nicely updated Wagon.
“1955 Willys Wagon – Flathead 226 Super Hurricane Motor. 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive. 3″ body lift. Runs well and is in good shape. Some minor rust but nothing major. Clutch was recently replaced. Looks good but is far from a show car.”
I’d hoped to develop some sort of Thanksgiving themed post to celebrate Thanksgiving, but as it turns out there really aren’t many images of jeeps dressed as turkeys … go figure.
Instead, I happened upon this NY Times story of a guy named Harry Allen and his dad’s truck. To get right to the point, Harry restored it ($40k) and it’s a beautiful restoration. There’s also a slide show that accompanies the story.
Gerald forwarded me some jeep-centric pics that you may or may not have seen.
Brett spotted this ad. There is one parts jeep and two running jeeps, though each of the running jeeps has issues.
“I have 3 cj5 jeeps for sale. A 60,62,63 F-head 4cyl style. I bought them for a project but due to my disabilities Its hard to work on them anymore.The 1960 Is all original and runs but has a rod knock.I shut it down right away when it happened to save further damage. It has the hard top with the doors. Original front Seats(full bench) have been recovered. I have title for it.
I bought a 1962(Dont have title so thats the best date I can give of 62 jeep) with the 4 cyl. F-head that is supposed to be good. It’s a parts jeep.
I also bought a 1963,(with title) that has been modified with a 6 cyl. the firewall had to be cut to fit the engine. It runs well but has some leaks. It has a hard top with no doors. All original except the engine,and seats have been replaced with high back bucket seats. The rear seat in it was taken out of a subaru brat. Has roll bar. New gas tank. will be a good runner with a little work. I also have 1 spare 4 cyl F-head engine in the garage that is froze up, but complete for parts. just sat in the elements too long or so I was told from the seller.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This looks nice.
“It has a 231 V6 Buick, 4 speed manual, power steering as well as other upgrades. It is in good condition and runs good. ”
The person looking for this truck will pay a finder fee to find it.
“Looking to buy back this 1949 willys jeep pickup I used to own. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Scott. Please put 49 willys in subject line.”
