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 .

It’s got some rust, but runs, drives and appears complete.
“1947 Jeep CJ2A. I am selling this Jeep for a neighbor who moved into St.Louis. It was used around their farm for about 30 years. Usual body rust with only a few small quarter sized holes in the floor, bottom of tool box has a larger hole in it. All parts appear to be original(sheet metal, 4 cyl engine, dash, Etc.). Has been partially converted to 12v. Engine eletrical system(charging, starting & ign) are all 12v. lights and gas gage need to be switched to 12v. Runs and drives, starts right up and doesn’t burn any oil but steering is a little “loose” above 20 mph, most likley needs tie rod ends or something.

“47 jeep willys,,, askin 1800obo new spark plugs n wires, battery,headgasket carburetor rebuilt just needs tuning title in hand”
UPDATE2: Still Available
UPDATE: Craig confirms that this is a FC-170 DRW; it’s unclear if the diesel is original or if it is a replacement engine (rather than a M-676 with a Cerlist Diesel.)
“I have an FC 150 and an FC 170 that will be sold as a pair. The FC 170 has no motor, trans or transfer case. It was a RARE factory diesel with a Gafner loader. It has a GVW of 9000# with Dana axles. Found a bell housing and flywheel in the cab so I assume it is off the diesel. Odometer shows 7500 miles. The FC 150 is pretty much complete except for the seats. It has a 4 cylinder F134 motor that will be rebuilt shortly. It has the standard bore and reground crank and bearings to match. Waitng for a front seal and valve stem seals. Odometer shows 21,500 miles. I am just stating what the odometers say, don’t know if it is the actual miles or not. Both Jeeps last plated around 1973-74. I am open to REASONABLE OFFERS. I am not going to give these away so don’t waste my time. I do have more pics if you are serious.”

UPDATE: I guess this didn’t sell at the flea market, so it’s now listed at $3700.
“1947 Willys Army Jeep, 6-cylinder motor. Great condition. Includes original medical kit with an additional 6-cylinder motor. Collectible, fun ride.”

Yes, it’s back up! While I had planned to continue work on my rear spring pads tonight (I’m completely redoing the angles on my spring pads — but I’ll save that update for the future), the site had to take priority.
THE PROBLEM:
It turns out that when a website uses more than its alotted CPU % (which differs from bandwidth and server space), my webhost (anhosting) will simply take down everything related to the offending URL (in my case, anything with ewillys.com attached to it). Super Freaking Inconvenient!!!!
I believe the offending issues included 1) a highly problematic spammer out of China 2) a problem with the translation plugin, which was causing all kinds of slow downs and 3) possibly issues with talk backs, which are almost entirely used by spammers. So, I have dealt with each of these issues. I also optimized and reduced the size of the database. I believe I am noticing noticeably faster downloads based on my experience tonight.
ALSO:
I’ve upgraded the wordpress software to 3.0 and completely rebuilt the menus within the new auto-menu schematic (which you probably won’t notice, but it makes it easier for me to rearrange the main menu and add other menus anywhere in the site).
I haven’t yet got the mapping working yet, so I still need to do that (not sure what’s going on there). So, on Tuesday the site might be down for a little while as I update stuff a little more.
If you use a rss reader, I might have taken that down temporarily.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Extremely unique, one-of-a-kind!! Completely restored, inside and out, as you can see from the pics. Less than 1,000 miles since frame off restoration. 350 (balanced) Chevy motor, cam, headers, and 327 Corvette heads. 350 turbo trans, 9 inch Ford rear end, Mustang II front suspension and dropped spindles. Real lacewood vaneer outside panels. White wall tires. Has heater, but no air conditioning. Kenwood CD player, maple flooring, mahogony inside paneling. Runs & drives like a dream! Needs absolutely nothing! Always kept in a controlled environment, and has never seen rain!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500
(05/28/2010) “Pair of 1952 Willys jeeps-one has a Ford 289 and the other has a Buick V6. Both are in running condition but the 289 jeep needs the passenger knuckle rebuilt. There are no titles but you will recieve a signed bill of sale.They will make great off-roaders or rock crawlers. Buy the pair for $1500 or buy the one with the top for $1000 and the other for $500-you’re going to have a ton of fun!”
hmm ..

This might have been listed previously, but I can’t locate it. It looks familiar. This has a great old winch.
“1951 Willys, runs good. You can fix it up or use it for hunting just like it is.”

If you need 2 CJ-5 parts jeeps, these might foot the bill.
“I have 2 CJ5s for sale; the pictured one is complete, but is a project (will need a new bucket). The second one has no body, and the engine has seized and been torn down when I got it; that engine is on an engine stand that will go with them. I believe I have enough running gear parts for the second to be complete. I have 3 windshield frames (glass is there but cracked), and 2 grills. I am looking to clear some space in the garage and just do not have time to work on these. I have clear title on one of them, no title for the second.”

You don’t see too many white-wall tires like those on jeeps!
“This is a road worthy ’53 Willys Jeep CJ-3B that starts with the turn of the key and runs great. Vehicle has a 289 Ford V8 (unknown mileage) coupled to the original transmission and transfer case that features an overdrive. Vehicle also has locking/unlocking hubs which makes for less wear and better fuel economy. The vehicle has the original gauges with all but the gas gauge operating. Also, the electrical system has been upgraded to a 12 volt system and incorporated 2 speed wipers and electric emergency/parking brake. The interior seats are black vinyl with no cuts, rips or tears and DOES NOT have seat belts., vehicle does however, have a roll bar. Also, she has a new canvas top with doors,new shocks,and new springs with 2 inch risers. The brakes haven’t been worked on by me as they seem to work fine. You also get 10 tires: one set of four street tires with 3 1/2 inch white walls mounted on stock rims and 6 mud & snow tires mounted on stock rims. The body is in fair shape (no wrecks to my knowledge) but has rust repair areas with new Banana Yellow paint to cover her scars. Of course I have no way of knowing how many miles are on the vehicle/engine etc. the mileage on the odometer reads 68548. I’ll be happy to answer any questions upon request–Thanks.”
This looks like a good price on a very early M-38a1.
“1952 M38-A1 first year of the round fender jeeps, Original engine, 24V electrics, restorable body. Was used as a fire truck after it left the Army. Still has the Army green paint underneath. Engine is siezed from storage. Great project vehicle mostly original. Some extra parts. Please put WILLYS in the subject line when e-mailing.”
