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 appears well patched.

Not a bad price. Carbs are cheap and easy to replace! That said, how exactly does one ‘crack’ a carb??? A block yes, but a carb? Maybe it’s the intake manifold?
“Classic Willy’s Jeepster – good condition- was running great until we cracked carburetor – Must sell – $ 6,500.00 OBO Email if interested to see.”
I thought the idea of this project was interesting. It still needs some work.
“1953 willys overland custom. its on a dodge powerwagon chassis with a 318 and 727 transmission automatic. needs new tires, pait and interior, along with a master cylinder and passenger soft brake line”

(02/06/2010) This doesn’t seem like a bad price if the body is in reasonable shape.

It sounds like the seller wants this to go to a good home.
“Running all original truck. Current registration. Clear title. 4X4, 4 cylinder, lumber rack that slides into the stake pockets, painless wiring harness professionally installed (still 6 volt).
I shopped for a long time to find a truck as straight as this one. I was not looking to restore to original, I just wanted a straight body. When I finally found the body I wanted, it came with a complete running truck. I started gathering parts (engine, tranny, axles, etc.) to modernize it but felt guilty about messing with a complete truck. I recently found another one and this time it was already sitting on a different frame, new motor etc. So now I can sell this truck and I hope to someone with intentions of restoration. It is in good shape so not much is needed but I will list what I think it needs:
Paint job (I have been sanding when I have time)
tires have good tread and hold air but they are looking old
rear window was cracked so I removed it in anticipation of replacing it
some tie rod ends need replacing (vibrations when you get to 40 mph or so)
If you plan on driving on the highway an overdrive will be needed
It has an am radio but it doesn’t work (I started removing it so you will see it is loose in the picture)
It has a heater that looks like it came from something else but looks as old as the truck. It was not hooked up so I took it out and went through it. The fan works but I found a small leak in the heater core that should be easy to solder.
It has an old spot light.”
Kevin’s got a good price on this combination of parts. You can email him at kroth936@yahoo.com to learn more.
“Tranny with overdrive and both axles….$750 for all of it…if someone only wants the overdrive it’s still $750….I hope someone needs this….also have a 4 cyl for $300”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $995.
“I purchased this over 2 years ago with the intentions of restoring it. I have purchased many additional parts but have not had that much time to work on it. The boro had asked us to remove it from the property back in September due to one of our wonderful neighbors. We need to sell soon. I did get it to turn over. This is a great solid Jeep with very little rust for someone who has time to work on it. We had it posted in the Fall for $1750 but now brought the price down. The price is firm. I have posted many items on here with great success. We are looking to sell this quick. Not looking forward to selling it but in the future when I have more time I will look into purchasing another vehicle to restore. Need to be removed from our property by end of March. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was on eBay.

This is Norman. Norman looks good!
“You are bidding on a 1951 M38 military jeep. This jeep runs great and the body is in very good condition. There is a small rust spot on the passenger floor board, about the size of a quarter, I included it in the pictures. The fuel gauge only works when the fuel level gets to 1/2 tank, then it reads accurate. The windshield is cracked due to my nephew sitting on it when I had it down. The transmission, rear-end, and transfer case work flawlessly transitioning in and out of 4-wheel drive and high/low range. The engine starts on first crank and always has. All fluid levels are up to date and get checked routinely. My uncle sold it to my brother and I purchased it from him 2 years ago. I drive the jeep twice per week, once to take my son bird hunting, the other to his baseball game on Thursday nights (approx. 3 miles). It is not street legal so I take it through the neighborhood by my house staying off of the highway. My wife’s car has been sitting out too long and she wants her spot back in the garage and my third garage door only measures 62 inches wide, not wide enough; that is the only reason I am selling it. I tried to locate a title but was unable to do so, the process is simple to acquire a bonded title but cost approx. $150 depending on the value of the vehicle, I did not take this step due to the cost and the amount of time to get it back from the DOT, plus I never needed it to be street legal. The odometer reads 44, 304 miles, not sure if thats accurate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $35300.

“I am interested in selling my 1950’s CJ3 Willys Jeep. It is fairly great shape for a 60 year old vehicle. Its been used for years as a farm truck here in AZ. It doesn’t run at the moment, bought it from my friend who said it needed the carburetor rebuilt and I haven’t got to that. motor spins freely (original 4 cyl) Has some rust in usual spots. the tool box under passenger seat is intact. Working tailgate. As far as i know it is all original. One rim is welded to hub so needs repair. This Jeep is in really great shape for its age and hard to find one not wasting away in a field. Wanted to make a hunting jeep/ toy out of it but no time.”
