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: This was list back in 2017.
This is listed as a ‘1967’. It runs.

Since I got it I did a suicide front end dropping front about 8 inches and extending it 36 inches. Rear dropped 3 to give it a California rake look to it.
I have not driven it since I finished the suspension changes.
There is defenately things that still have to be done. Some lights that have to be fixed and button up some things. I drove the car last November or so before I started mods.
Only started since then.

It is registered and titles and up to date. With title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
This may be a good price. It’s listed for $7500 in the text, but my only $6800 in the title (might be a price drop). The body isn’t perfect, as the steps are missing.
“Jeep CJ2A 4×4 1947. Looking for $7,500 runs drives( Facebook will not let me post it for more the 6800).

“Unique opportunity to restore a 1950 Willy’s Jeepster. Almost all, if not all, the parts are there with many duplicates. Includes two engines and transmissions – one is the original 6 cylinder and the other is a 1953 6 cylinder. I just finished restoring one and have decided not to tackle another, so this is your opportunity. Selling as a package only, I won’t separate for parts.
Cash sales only. You will need to pick up the vehicle. Sorry, no shipment or delivery. I won’t accept PayPal or other electronic payments.”
Next updates will be Friday.
A CJ-V35/U landed on the front page of the Leisuretime Magazine, published by the Gazette Telegraph out of Colorado Springs, Colorado, on August 07, 1965. It looks like the jeep has been modified with a taller radiator (and perhaps another engine), which apparently led to the lack of a hood.
For the story, the writer spent some time with the Mountain Airs Citizen Band Radio Club (not the catchiest of names). I didn’t realize that CB clubs were a ‘thing’, but there was even a magazine dedicated to that group of folks called S9. Here’s an example from 1966 (one in which the Mountain Airs’ name appears somewhere): https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-CB-Radio/S9-Magazine/S9-1966-05.pdf.
Below is the Gazette Telegraph article:
It’s a good situation when you have people to remove your jeep’s chains….

“Good body, needs some minor work but solid frame. Title in hand. Make an offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
This has a custom cowl storage bin. Seems like a good price, assuming it runs when a batter is connected. It has an odd driver’s seat.
“4 cylinder 4×4 Needs plugs Battery And that’s all for now.”
