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 $3500.
This looks like a very nice truck for the price.

There’s some issues with this jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3795.
This certainly has some unusual features. I can’t say I’ve seen a roll bar quite like that either. There are no comments by the seller, other than the mileage of 276 miles.
This might be a great, relatively easy restoration project. It looks in very good shape for the price.

It looks like there is $450 worth of parts on this jeep. It even runs!
“1955 Willys Jeep project or for parts – it has a sears roebuck upper body, 4 cylinder standard, does run but needs work. $450 or close offer, must be sold by Sunday 4/11.

“I am selling this very rare 1967 jeep cj5A tuxedo park Mark IV project. Just rebuilt original Buick 225 Dauntless v6 engine, t86 trans and Dana 18 transfercase with FACTORY warn Overdrive. Worth more than this is parts, but this is ONE OF 89 built in 1967. More rare than shelby gt500, GT 350, and 1967 Z28….:) Anyhow, think the throwout bearing was installed wrong, and so it grinds when push in the clutch, I put it on stands and pushed through gears…does fine, so will need to pull clutch and put back together. Runs good though….BUT needs a full restoration.Not even 10 miles on engine rebuild. Not much rust, but welded on bumpers, and at some point the windshield frame was replaced with good glass from another jeep. I have no idea what year or modelof winshield frame. Brakes need replacing, in place but need rebuilt. I put coat of flat green on to get by till someone restores it. New plugs and dist cap as well. Have clear title in hand. Will need trailer. Call or email with questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a sharp looking CJ-5.
“1966 Jeep Willys CJ5 Totally Restored, Hard to find in this condition. Must Have!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
(12/03/09) It’s a bit beat up, but it’s got indents. It doesn’t have a column shift. It includes a trailer not shown.
“Vintage Willys in good running condition. This Willys has been used at a ranch in the Texas Hill Country (warehouse stored) for the past several years.

Good News! I found myself a set of professionally rebuilt heads for a great price (thanks Greg!). Greg Berheim dropped me a line after I posted my craigslist Ad (wanted: engine heads). He wrote that he had acquired a set of heads as part of an engine/parts buyout and didn’t have any use for them.
So, I drove over and met with Greg. It turns out, Greg operates the Berheim Engine Machine Shop, a local engine shop in Meridian (208-870-1464), Idaho. This information was especially interesting to me as Bob’s Mechanical had been bought out and most of the services moved about an hour away from me.
So, after spending time with Greg and him generously providing some advice and thoughts on my engine issues, I now know who to turn to if I need any additional work done (which I really hope I don’t need soon!!). So, if you are in the Boise area and need some engine work done, check out Greg.
Tonight, I pulled the passenger-side head and will get the covers and intake cleaned up tomorrow. I also carefully cleaned the surface of the heads, as the block facing surfaces had some light surface residue that needed to be removed. Saturday, I’ll put everything together and see if everything works!
Roberto has created a new jeep t-shirt for Panzernet.com. You can view it below or see it at the panzernet website. Thanks for sharing Roberto!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
No year mentioned, but this is definitely a DJ-3A based on the speedometer. However it has been modified into a 4×4. It looks like a good price.
“Fun for hunting off roading or every day use…Willys Jeep Dispatcher Flat Fender 4×4 , four speed, four barrel V-6 , Headers ,Great tires runs good even has leather electric seats.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250.
It appears there is some value here.
“1950 willys jeep cj 3A. Scout axles 4.88s. 33 12.5 sport king tires (almost new). Project, dont have time to finish.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
I suspect the year is wrong.
“Have a 1942 Willy’s, runs and drives. Engine and transmission are not original, both are 1980’s s-10. Transmission is automatic. Has a winch on the front. Painted to look like a WWII Medical Jeep, looks like the ones in MASH. Asking $4500 but will consider offers.”
This looks like a good price.

This also includes in overdrive.
“1947 Willys CJ2A. This is a great jeep for restoration, or a daily driver. The frame, engine and running gear are excellent. The body has rust under the doors and on the floor. It is solid enough to drive every day, and there is still enough there to restore. This jeep came from Wyoming in 1999. Since then, I have been driving it on a weekly basis. The jeep has been converted to a 12 Volt system. The highlight of this Jeep is the Warn Overdrive. These go for about $800.00. It allows you to drive safely at up to 60 mph without ruining the engine. There is 18,000 miles on the sleeved, hardened seat, rebuilt engine. The photos show a paper air cleaner system. I still have all the oil bath stuff. The trailer is a 1951 military. There is some rust at the forward part of the floor. If you consider the value of the Jeep, overdrive and trailer, you will see that this is a very good price.”
There are some nice accents on this great rebuild.
“1948 Willys pickup with a 305 Chevy V8 engine. This truck is in EXCELLENT condition and a REAL HEAD TURNER! Some of its features are automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and custom interior. Having to sell because of health reasons. This truck has won over 100 trophies and awards.

The paint looks rough, but the body might be in decent condition.
“1948 willeys cj2a , 6 volt, 4 cylinder, rebuilt trans. new brakes and rear pto good running condition”
UPDATE: Rich reports that this sold today for $1400 on 4/1/2010.
“Selling a stock 1957 Willys Dispatcher Jeep. Flat head L 4cyl. motor with 3 speed transmission. If you are familiar with the DJ3A you know that it would have been a 2 wheel drive, column shift jeep. This one was converted to four wheel drive with a T-90 transmission and transfer case. The Jeep starts instantly, moves and shifts perfectly through all 3 gears plus the 4 wheel drive high and low operates with no problems. The brakes work 100% however the brake lights and turn signals do not. It will need a windshield, tires, rocker panel repair, and floor repair. The L head motor has the original 6 volt system with a generator that charges as it should. There is a cabin heater under that dash with a variable speed electric fan that works perfectly. The seats are in pristine condition and may actually be original. The original Data plate is on the firewall and the frame numbers match. The odometer reads just over 28,000 miles. I have a clear PA title in hand and have driven the jeep down the road at 45 miles per hour. It does need work but is a great foundation for restoration.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(05/15/09) “Great Classic. Comes with gun racks, game carrier new tires and camo paint. I’ve had the Jeep for over 25 years. It has served me very well. Almost everything on it has been redone and it’s ready to roll. OPTIONAL – custom made crow’s nest tower blind – $1500. I also have a new (still in the box) 9000lb Warn winch with cradle and wiring – $600.”
