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 $2500
(11/21/09) It’s got the f-head racing scoop.

Paul writes that the days are getting longer and the temperatures warmer, allowing him to check in on friends across Alaska. While looking over one collection recently, he spotted this unusually well done transformation. Those terra tires sure looking in good condition, too! Paul, be sure to thank your friend for sharing this with us!
Paul writes, “I’ll try to remember what he told me concerning the construction / modification of this Jeep but it appears a Ford pickup cab was grafted onto the Jeep body, the four cylinder engine was replaced with a V8, Scout axles replaced the original axles and I think he said the transmission was replaced with a T90 along with numerous other modifications but you can see for yourself when you check out the pictures. With the power of the V8 this little Jeep can quickly dig holes with the tires while in low range and gassing it just about makes the Jeep jump in high range…”

If I owned one of these FC snowblowers, I’d move to a snowier climate. That looks fun!

I thought this customized in some interesting ways, so I thought I’d include it. I’m not sure which part of this is a 1948.

“

This looks like a nice build.
‘1947 Willys CJ2A, 302 V8, C4 Automatic Transmission, 2″ lift, Warn Overdrive, ProBillit Dist, B&M Shifter, GM Alternator (new) 3wire, New Paint / bushings, Lined interior, New VDO Gauges, Painless Wiring (new), Custom Fuel Cell, Custom Bumpers, Battery Cell, LED Lights, New Tires and wheels. This has been a fun vehicle but it is time to move to the next project. When I started with this vehicle, it was nice… I just couldn’t leave it alone. We pulled the body, blasted it to the metal, and filled/welded all of the holes and removed any rust. I replaced the front fenders with new, built and installed a fuel cell, added new glass and rubber, shocks (rancho), tires, wheels, paint, wiring, powdercoating, etc. On and on and on. With the overdrive, highway speeds can be maintained. Please call with any questions. Thanks for looking. Matt 559.906.2089.”

“I am looking for a Dana 18 transfer case out of an old willys. If you have one or know where I can find one please let me know! Thanks!”
Dan spotted this unusual CJ-5. This jeep is for the lover of skulls! I didn’t know they made green tops like this?

The sellers are interested in selling, but aren’t in a hurry due to the wagon’s location.
“We have a ’59 Jeep Wagon we would like to sell. This vehicle has less than 60K original miles. It is only used in the summer, when cabin is accessible, and is garaged all winter. We are trying to decide to sell vehicle up there, or haul it to the Bay Area and try to sell it for more. Vehicle has a clear title and has always been registered in CA. It is equipped with 6 cyl. flathead engine. It has been used for short 4-wheel trips in the area. the body is no cherry, NO major rust, just scrapes from hidden boulders, one rear fender dented pretty good, also has a couple broken windows, (glass is broken, not broken out, make sense?). Interior is in real good shape for its age. Vehicle is road worthy, however I would recommend trailering long distances. Has top speed of about 55-60 mph. Right now we’re looking for potential buyers, vehicle is not accessible at this time, Cabin will be opened Memorial Day weekend or weekend after. email offers please be reasonable.These are the only pics I can find for now. More can be made available in the next couple weeks I’m sure. Please be in no rush, as we don’t get up to the area often and transaction will have to be arranged in advance. I hope you understand.”

I’m pretty sure that price isn’t the real price.

This seems to be a blend of MB and CJ-2A parts.
“1942 Civilian CJ-2 Jeep for sale. Mostly original. Runs and drives. Stored in barn since 1970’s, and still runs great!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1350.
I believe this comes with an engine and radiator, but they are not installed.
“This jeep comes with a newly rebuilt 6 cylinder flathead engine and a new radiator. The jeep comes “as is” – no title. $1,350.00 takes everything. More pictures available.”
UPDATE: WAs $4000. **SOLD**
Only 15hp? That’s a pretty low estimate.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A, 4 Cyl, 15 HP. Great shape! Runs well!”
UPDATE: This Jeep owner is liquidating his jeeps (about 15 of them).
