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 .

We had a discussion a while back about ways to improve the performance of your L or F Head. Clifford Performance specializes in improving the performance of in-line engines — even their slogan 6=8 signifies that you can get the horsepower of a V8 out of inline 6s with some modifications.
If you have an inline 6 cylinder or 4 cylinder engine this site is worth checking out. Here’s an example of the F or L-head header.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500. This looks like a steal at this price.
It appears to be (or formerly) a PNW Club vehicle. It looks good. A rear heater? Interesting …
“1948 Flatfender Jeep. 327 ci, muncie 4 speed, headers, new top, runs good, need to sell soon. $3500.00 or best offer. See at Valley Auto Detail 1300 Main St in Springfield”
Note the unusual rear PTO winch.
“Here we have original Willys Jeep 1951 CJ3A . This little farm jeep runs excellent, the previous owner rebuilt the engine. It drives, and even stops with a great brake pedal. It is also has a PTO driven winch and the half cab with doors. The frame is nice and solid. The body will need some TLC . The floor is ok but the floor under the tool box is gone. Repair panels are readily available through Kaiser Willys Auto Supply. Perfect restoration candidate with optional equip. This is too nice to part out , but if it doesn’t sell I will part it out. You don’t find them often!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500
(01/03/2010) This is an interesting build as it sports a jeepster front clip. I can’t remember seeing this done. I think it works pretty well. I’d check out the frame closely, as the seller had a problem with it during an outing.
“This is my prize 1963 CJ5 rock crawler that due to the lack of interest and the need of money for property taxes, I must let go. I easily have $15000 invested in this and the only thing left on it that’s 1963 is the rear axle housing.
Here’s what’s been done;
1. Dana 30 disc brake front end w/4:88 gears and a Lock-rite and Warn hubs(27 Spline)
2. Dana 44 offset rear with 11” brakes w/4:88 gears and a power lock, full float with 27 spline Warn hubs

7. 67 Jeepster front clip

10. Power steering
11. Recent Best top
12. Toyo Open Country’s 35×13.50r15lt on custom offset steel rock crusher wheels
13. Wiring harness, 16 circuit, purchased from THE JEEP GUY here in Portland
14. 3 propane fuel tanks, 2 mounted + a spare
15. Permanent Oregon SP tags, can and will drive on the street, but in limited amounts with these tags
16. And much too much more to list
Here’s what needs to be finished;
1. Needs to have a roll cage built
2. Needs exhaust redone
3. Has some minor electrical gremlins searched out
This Jeep has been on most of the trails at Moab, Rubicon, Fordyce, Barrett Lake, and Browns Camp to name a few. This Jeep has been a constant work in progress for me for the last 25 years or so, but time to move on. Really need to get $5000 out of this, but cash talks so make me an offer. Would consider trades for nice FSJ, Hot Rod, Rat Rod, Drag race parts, Dually, AMC’s, Car Trailer, or anything else you have I might find of interest. I work odd hours but I’m available from 9 in the evening till about 9 in the morning at 503-784-1622 during the week and all weekend. Leave a message or email and I’ll get back to you. My email address is thigh19@comcast.net and check out more pictures at http://thigh190.tripod.com/id13.html Keep in mind that this is an almost completed project. Will loan out a tow bar if needed.”

Brett, who’s stealthily become head of the Utah’s ewillys correspondent (so stealthily, that even he doesn’t know it), found this gem … well … someone’s momma loves it.

Here’s one Brett forwarded. It’s not the prettiest M-38, but it sounds like it motors around well.

There were two FCs being auctioned today in Salem Or. That will teach me to travel!
“2 Willy’s Jeeps on auction this Sat. in Salem: 1958 Willys/Jeep FC PU, 1962 Willys/Jeep FC PU. This car will be sold at auction on Saturday the 6th.”
Here’s a good looking truck that needs a few things done.

I’ll need to check this one out. For a tiny town, there are several flatties for sale here. It’s about 1/2 hour from my place.

This Jeep is so sad that it looks like it is crying.
“This is a 1946 willy”s jeep cj 2-a that needs work. the body is rough, frame is good, some of the windows are broken and it hasn’t run in 5 years. before parked in storage it ran daily as my dads parts car for his garage. it has a rebuilt 3 cylinder with a manual trans. it has a metal hard top which is also rough. it was in storage til the windows were broken and then moved to my garage where it was for the first few years and then i moved it outside and tarped it . this could really be a great jeep if someone had the money and the time, i have a ten car garage with ten to many projects and i’m trying to consolidate my collection, please email me with any questions and i will do my vest to answer them, thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500

I’m not sure if this runs or not?
“
Surfers, Four Wheelers, Classic Car enthusiasts, here’s one for all of you. It’s a stock 6 cylinder, 4×4. I will either go for cash or trade for a Honda CFR250X motorcycle.”
It looks pretty stock and unmolested. I can’t tell if there is rust around the step or not.
“1949 Wills Jeep. Running ready to go. It has a 2.5 Chevy engine in it with a four barrel carb and header. The cool thing is it could have a small block chevy bolted right in. Needs to have the brakes bled then it could be driven home. I do have some 35 inch tires for it, but they would be extra. The hard top does have doors they just are not on it .”
This is a project!

There are a variety of updates on this jeep. I believe the grille and the body are from a MB or GPW.

The seller promises that when they bought it, they were told it ran …..
“Im selling my winter project. Its a 1955 Willys Pickup with 4×4. It has a twin stick transfer case to control front and rear axles independently. I have a clear title for the Willys. It does turn over and I was told it ran when I bought it in December but I have a lot of work right now and can’t let this sit around gathering dust. The gas tank needs repaired/ replaced and otherwise it should be a good runner. All glass is good, windows even roll up and down. Does have rust, came from North Carolina.”
