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 .
No engine.

This looks in good shape. I wonder how the appraised value was determined.

I’m not entirely sure if this is a CJ-2A or MB.

(02/23/09) This very early CJ-3B looks in very good condition.
“Many new parts, runs good, good upholstry, body and tires. $3900.00 OBO”
UPDATE: I thought this was unusual (and was for sale on ebay in May 2009), but a couple days ago I ran across a post at the Hemmings Blog which had a bunch of these type of vehicles. You can see a few below.
“(from the ad on ebay) Here is a one of a kind parade Jeep. It was finished October 2007 and was shown at the 2008 Fall Willys Reunion in Jefferson City, MO. No restorable Jeep body parts were used in its construction. Mechanically it is in very good condition. It is controlled from the red end only. The engine starts and runs good, transmission and transfer case work good. It has standard Jeep 4-wheel drive. The brakes were rebuilt. The gas tank is from a Willys pickup. It has a new wiring harness, new gauges, including fuel gauge and fuel sending unit. It has a new alternator, fuel pump and rebuilt starter. It comes with a vinal cover for transport. All lights work including rear head lights and will pass Missouri State inspection. It has a clear Missouri title. ”

This might be a good deal.
“I have a 1946 Willys Jeep. It has been sitting awhile. Has the flathead 4 cyl., nice tires, and ran nice before we parked it. It needs a new battery, and seats. Asking 1200, email for more photos”

It looks like some hard work has been completed on this project.
“Body Work done, Lost Interest. Will consider trade for the following; Mig Welder, Large Tool Box and etc., Cash Offer. Let me know what you have? Call me 209-599-1640 or email me for more pictures at anthonymanda@gmail.com.”

This looks like a nice restoration.
“Fully restored 1953 Willy Jeep $8000.00 OBO”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.
“I have a 1947, Willys flat fender 4×4 Jeep that ,due to circumstance, I am looking to trade toward a great running, registerable, vehicle, of equall value. I am a mother of three, and I currently have two vehicles that ,together, don’t add up to fullfill my needs. My Willys has a new paint job, dana 44’s, rancho suspension(front&back), fiber-glass tilt front end, roll cage, full tow package, power breaks, power steering, and more… I Hate to part ways with our jeep, but, a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
I’m sure someone could use this. This might have the rare “oval” oil filter bracket, but I can’t tell for sure.
“I bought this engine as a spare for my CJ but never used it. The distributor I had rebuilt. L4-134 Info on engine: Willys Jeep Industrial Head: 807763 Block: 804380-W-12-D-P5”
This appears to be a great price on a stock jeep that appears to include a plow.
“In very good condition. All original. Is in process of restoration. Please contact me for more info. Thomas”

In the middle of a football game on ESPN I just witnessed a jaw dropping ad: The Taco Bell Drive Thru Diet. While the fine print claimed it was not a ‘diet plan’, it is clearly being marketed as a Diet Plan. I mean, are they serious?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
You’ve heard of a barn find, but how about a warehouse find?
“Willies overland last time it was lienced was in 1969 shows 71494 miles no tittle car is complete. Make a good parts car has been stored in warehouse for over 40 yeras”
Here’s a bunch of body parts and more.

(12/04/09) This looks in great shape for the price.
“Neat little Jeep…fun to drive…V-6 – 3 spd – 4×4 works good – Clutch, transmission & brakes good. It hasn’t been abused or rusted out & I haven’t found any bondo repairs.
I have another project and need room in my garage. My loss – your gain. This is probably the best buy for the money in Oklahoma City. I might consider a pick-up as a trade, but nothing needing paint or repairs. I don’t need another project. Tom … 405-722-0818 or Cell: 405-606-9515.”

Gerald sent me a pic of the Jeep Truck Rod below. After some searching, I found some others. There’s a great thread with various Jeep Rod photos as well, one of which I show below. I suspect this is the first of several Jeep Rods Posts as I suspect other pics will pop up based on the few searches I did this evening.
Here’s a pic from the Jalopy Journal Site:

Here’s a good looking trailer. I don’t have the details memorized to know if this is a Bantam or not.

Given this isn’t complete, it’s priced a bit high. If it really was a Navy Dept vehicle, it makes me wonder if this was packaged as a M-606?
“Mint condition too many goodies to mention. Please call at 503-535-9717 or email, Dustin”
