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: Was $3900. **SOLD**
“1959 Willys – full canvas package; quail hunting seats for front; outstanding hunting vehicle. Mechanically sound. “
Gerald found these pics. If anyone has or runs across any similar pics, I’d like to see them.
1. Here’s an ad for the older Armstrong tires:
2. A vintage 1946 stamped envelope top from Willys Overland:
3. During a search for the 1960 auto show pics, Gerald found this image from the 1965 auto show. He immediately thought of the show Mad Men. The girls may be as lovely as the ones on the show, but the men are much older (compare the photos below and you decide!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
This looks well maintained.

Here’s a buyer for a tailgate.
“Hoping to find a Willys/Jeep Tailgate in great condition, one that is stamped “JEEP” and not “Willys” Please email me some pictures and a price if you have what I’m looking for, thanks!”
UPDATE: Still Available. Seller is moving soon; so needs to sell.
The body and frame are $600. Other parts are more. Apparently, the seller has been getting his Ad flagged.
“I have a 1946 CJ2A body that sits on a a ’76 CJ5 frame, and is ready to be a serious crawler. It has had a ton of work, and was all done properly. This is not some hack job welded together with a tiny little 110v welder. I would like to get $600 for the body and frame alone, but am taking offers. It is sitting in my back yard and I hate to see it get all rusted and end up going to the scrap yard. I have a ford HP dana 60, and a CO14 that could also go with it, but they of course will be much more. If you are interested in seeing it email me. I know the pix aren’t great, but there better then none. I simply have to many projects and this one has to go”

Lots of pics of this in progress jeep. Plenty of good work has been done and much work left.
“1955 Jeep M38A1
Too many projects not enough garage time! 1955 M38A1 Military Jeep. It was a running and driving Jeep a few years ago and I tore it down to restore the frame, motor, body and wiring. The frame was sand blasted and re painted in gloss OD. All the frame bushings, spring bushings and shackles were replaced and new brake lines were installed front and rear. The motor ran good and did not smoke so all I did was strip, paint and re-gasket it. This Jeep has been a military Jeep it’s whole life so there is no extra crap added to it. All the 24 volt stuff is still on it. I do have a new OE (1955) wiring harness for it but it is not installed yet. The body was also blasted and the main tub was put in black sealer primer the rest of the parts are still bare metal. It does need some light body work on the rear of the tub where the gas can and spare tire mounts, it’s not bad just a little wavy. The floor was replaced under the drivers seat because of some rust but other than that the body was rust free. It has brand new NDT military tires all the way around. The original fuel pump was also rebuilt a few months ago. All the small parts like blackout lights, gages, handles, tire mounts not in the pictures is stored in rubbermaid tubs. This Jeep has under 20k original miles. It is an easy winter project with a lot of the hard work already done. $3950 OBO 509-953-1868 located by Northtown Mall area.”

I can’t tell much from the pic.
“jeep has had f-head motor from cj3b installed sometime in past,starts and runs,rest of running gear appears original, has metal hardtop which looks to be of same age as jeep with rollup windows, the frame is solid as is top,body is rusty .this is a project that is not road ready,glass is gone brakes don’t work,transmission and transfercase do work,i have a title,would be a good start to add a new body but i have to many projects,i took it on trade and don’t need another project(the doors are laying inside)”
With a plow and a fiberglass body, this might be a good price.
“1960 Jeep Overland CJ5 wiyh 6 1/2 ft. 4-way plow New tires. Has a new fiberglass tub. Two tops. 4 cylinder with 3-speed manual transmision. High/low range 4-wheel drive. Runs excellent. $2600.00 Joe 414 477 9337”

“In good condition. Call Larro at 541-347 -3498”
http://oregoncoast.craigslist.org/pts/1516038924.html
It’s a good price, but looks like it needs some work. I *think* this is a narrow body rather than a standard sized body.

I’ve been enjoying some fun time with my kids during the past week; driving the jeep has become one of the favorite activities, despite the freezing temps. I finally got brave enough to let Karson drive off in it by himself (well, only around the block). So, here’s a video of it for those interested.
One of the things I’ve been noticing as I watch the video is that the jeep slopes backwards more than intended. But, that doesnt’ trouble me too much, because I had planned to change out the stock XJ springs for some XJ springs with a 2″ lift. Well, either that or I can mount the springs over the top. For now, they’ll work fine though.
UPDATE; **SOLD** Was $600.
Those appears to be the mudflaps hanging from the back.
“NO TITLE, Serial Number 88306, Drive train is fine (axels, trans, engine, brakes, transfer case) has PTO with no lever or propeller shaft. Good oil pressure. Set up to simulate an MB. 60+ year old Body is far from perfect. 8 inch wide wheels with dry-cracked tires. Good to run on a farm or for hunting and trail riding. Mud Flaps & Tow bar goes with. Must go soon. Advertised locally. Drive it on your trailer and get back home to have some fun. $600”
It’s a parts jeep, but note the solid steel rims. This may be a good price.
