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 $3495
This looks like a good little truck.
“61 4×4 willys jeep truck solid body 327 engine with a 2 barrel just the rite amount of power ready to drive or work lots of fun $3495.00”
I don’t know if this runs or not. Though the fronts fenders are bent up pretty good, it doesn’t look all that bad. The tires appears to have plenty of tread. If you can get the engine to run, this might be a good price.

It runs and appears solid, but based on these pics, I wouldn’t say it is in ‘great shape’.
“THIS IS A 1951 WILLYS JEEP. IT HAS THE FLAT HEAD 4 CYL. IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE. THE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE, HIGH AND LOW, WORK. IT NEEDS THE BRAKES LOOKED AT. IT RUNS GREAT!!! PLEASE CONTACT ME, ONLY IF YOU ARE SERIOUS.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(05/10/09) This jeep looks good. It appears to have an updated motor of some type as I think I see a header coming down on the passenger side. It doesn’t look like there’s a muffler attached to the header.
“I have been storing my fathers 1946 Willys hoping to one day restore it in his memory. Unfortunately, with the present economy I am not working and can’t afford the extra storage fee. It was last restored in 1989 so is in need of a facelift. It has a 350 small block with headers and custom built roll bar. If your a jeep lover you will be familiar with the Armstrong tires that it rolls on and the Warn wench that it has up front. Currentley, it is non-op and needs alittle TLC. It is very hard part with this vehicle so serious inquires only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(02/09/2010) It looks a little rough for $2k.
“asking $2,000 obo. i have the title and it turns over so i’m sure it will run”
There’s another pics here: http://fargo.craigslist.org/cto/1593226384.html
In this image, a large number of jeeps have been parked on a baseball field. The headlights display a V for victory. I searched for other pics or other information about these rallies, but didn’t stumble onto anything.
According to the Library of Congress, this is an Anthracite rally. The Jeep headlights form V for victory at a night rally for Pennsylvania anthracite miners in Wilkes-Barre on September 29th, 1942. Similar rallies were held in other anthracite area cities from September 28th through October 1st 1942.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(12/24/09) This looks in good shape.
“This is a great little trail rig – Basically a CJ-7 with a 1949 body – No emissions – Front and rear Lockers, Dana 300 twinstick transfer , T5 five speed transmission, 2.5 liter 4 cylinder – faily good gas milage. Removable rear ruckbox – extra tailgate also a front carry rack that is easy on easy off for that extra cargo space when needed . 32″ BFG tires lot’s of tread left .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
It’s not clean, but appears solid.
“1946 Willys. #47677. Mechanically original. Very straight & solid body. Adjustable seats in good condition. Original L head motor. Ran when parked quite a while ago. Always stored in doors. Excellent for restoration or building a classic rock crawler. ”
Can’t tell much from the pic.

“1952 Willys station wagon, from Nevada. 4×4, v-8, 283 Frame and body excellent shape, perfect for restoration project. Have original title, extra parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750
“This is a rough, but very complete Willys Jeepster that was bought brand new by my great uncle. I bought it to resto-mod for my mom, but she has changed her mind and wants me to sell it. It has been hit in the rear. I have removed all of the filler so you can see what you get in the pics. I do have a good, open, TN title for the vehicle. It comes with a locked up engine (F-4 Hurricane) and good overdrive trans and plenty of usable and extra parts. Will consider reasonable offers. I am a car builder and would estimate that you would need about 5K for parts and roughly 300 man hours to get this thing where you’d want to show it. In that shape, it would likely be worth about 9K-11.5K. Will take $750 or best reasonable offer. You must pick up near Coalfield, TN. Might deliver for extra charge”
UPDATE: Was $4500. **SOLD**
(05/25/2010) Here is an old school build ready for anything.
“1951 Willys Jeep for sale – Runs Good. It was taking up too much room in the garage. Power Steering with Cooler, Dana 30 Front axle, Dana 44 rear end w/detroit lockers, 289 Ford V8 Engine, T-19 Transmission, CB Radio, Dual Batteries, Tow Bar, 20 Gallon Tank.”
Tim, from willysjeep.com, shared this Valentine message. You can download the full-size image from his site. He’s hoping to collect more old willys cards for holiday enjoyment. Tim also let me know that he has an agreement that will allow him to share some more great content.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15000.
Dean’s got this beautiful GPW for sale. He also has a variety of parts for sale as well, including ” a bumper, wheels, gauges, radiators, grills, tailgates, and windshields and more”, some of which are shown below.
It runs, but has to be compression started. It’s got the tool divets.

Here’s a nice looking combo.
“1951 Willys Army Jeep and Trailer – like new. Loaded with radio and other gear as deployed. Recent new belts, hoses and gaskets”
This is not running at the moment. The seller did have two of these, but must have sold one.
“1963 Willys Jeep CJ-6 for sale, $1700 OBO. This jeep was running last year, but no longer has the engine. It still has the radiator, T90 transmission, Spicer 18 transfer case, Dana 25/Dana 44 axles, with a lock-rite locker in the front axle. Colorado title. Rust in typical places (driver’s side floor, hood, rear corners, tailgate). Additional pictures available on request.
If wanted, I can include an early CJ5 tub with the CJ6 purchase (no extra charge). This would be for donor pieces. The firewall and some hat channels have been removed from this donor tub. Pictures available on request.
What is a Jeep Willys CJ-6? Well, they are a pretty rare Jeep. About 50,000 CJ6s were made total. Some people like to make these into trail rigs because of the ability to move the axles closer to the ends. They are exactly like a CJ-5, but are 20″ longer in the middle. That is pretty much the only difference.”

(10/21/09) Here’s a pretty stock CJ-3B.
“This old Willys was origjnally owned by the city of Templeton, IA. I bought it about a year ago from a farmer who used it just around the farm, mostly to give his kids and grand kids rides off road. It started and ran when I got it, but was not dependable, reliable or street legal. I’ve done a lot of work (documented) to this old Willys here in my shop to make it safe, reliable, dependable, legal and most of all fun. The 6 bolt system and all of the original wiring has been replaced with a complete 12 volt system with custom wiring throughout. It has dual tail lights with license light, park lights, turn signals with dash indicator and working self cancel, horn, 2 speed custom (CJ5 parts) wipers, 2 speed custom heater blower motor with defrost tube, interior lights and a 12 volt power receptacle under the dash for what ever ( I use it to plug in my phone). The original seats have been replaced with new cloth covered seat assemblies from Vanderhaag truck parts. The passenger seat has been adapted to fit the flip seat bracket to allow access to the floor mounted tool box. Seat belts are a set of dated Simpsons out of my old race car. The rear facing functional flip fold CJ5 back seat sits atop a custom built frame and has retractable seat belts for 2 out of an old K5 Blazer. The top is in excellent condition. I put it on new last year. The 4×4 works excellent. In LOW LOW this unit will go just about anywhere. I’ve had it off road in the mud, snow, dirt, sand, up and down hills and then right out onto the road and headed for home. There’s been alot more done to this old Willys, including rebuilt park brake, new fuel tank and sender, belt, hoses, wires, plugs, carb rebuilt, custom installed CJ5 roll bar, etc, etc, etc. It’s not beautiful.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300
(03/22/09) This CJ-5 comes with an overdrive and an unusual aluminum top (at least, I’ve not seen one quite like this for the CJ-5.
“170 cid FORD, WARN OVERDRIVE, PTO WINCH, POWERLOCK LOCKERS FRONT AND REAR, ALUM TOP, AUX FUEL TANK, AM/FM CD, $2300”
When Paul isn’t working on his Stainless M-38, he travels Alaska repairing airplanes. He often brings along his camera and he recently sent me some of his pics. Here’s 3 images by Paul that caught my eye. Paul didn’t send any names to accompany his images, so I’ve presumptively added by own names:
I call this one — Ran When Parked
I call this one — Ran When Beached
And finally — Too Damn Cold to Run
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This might just make a good restoration project. It even runs! Much of the rust appears to be surface rust.
