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 .
This runs and drives, but needs brakes. TJ spotted it.

“1956 Willy’s cj5 Runs and drives Does not have brakes Clean title on non op Lots of new parts Has some rust but no to bad Great ranch jeep I have a video of it running if wanted 3200 obo or trades”
I thought the front bumper on this was particularly unusual. Purpose built?

“1973 Jeep CJ5 * Does not run * Jeep was parked in my garage and has not been started for 25 years. Ran great when parked, but over time fuel lines cracked.

“I have a set of four old school mag wheels from an old Willy’s jeep. They are in pretty good shape. 5on 5.5, with large center hole to clear the hub. I believe they’re 15”x 10” What you see is what you get.”
TJ found this nice looking L-161 for sale. Though it is picture with a tranny, tc, and OD, it sounds like only the bell housing goes with the engine.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1121698265752054
“Running L-161 flathead engine. I believe it’s from a 1951 Jeepster. It has been reliable, runs well and doesn’t smoke. It’s bolted to a T90 and that bell housing will go with the engine. I will be keeping the starter and alternator, but everything else goes with it. The exhaust manifold has either been modified or repaired at the pipe flange, I can’t tell what the purpose was, but it bolts up to my CJ2a. It’s still in the Jeep and I can show it running. I’ll pull it when I have a buyer. $900 obo or trade for a running L134.”
Unclear if it runs or not. Only the one pic provided.

“1955 Willys CJ5 This car has tons of life left in it for countless more miles on the road, it’s not perfect but it’s a solid start with a little work could be back cruising in no time. I’ve had it for years loved it along the way but ready to get into some different projects and focus on one rather than being spread between several project cars. Hard top Bikini top 4×4 Has removable back seat”

“I have 2 jeeps and 1 Datsun pickup were were going to use in a restore project. We have switched directions, and no longer going to complete that project. $2500. You haul. Located in Potomac.”
Sadly, I lost this auction, mostly because I was busy with Ann’s newest raised bed garden (almost finished). Anyway, it appears a bidding war boosted this rare issue to $40 and change. Thankfully, the seller published photos of all the pages.
This issue contains a little mini brochure in the middle titled “Used Car Salesbuilder, a Common Sense Review”, which might have been related to the 1950 ongoing “Willys Makes Sense” ad campaign.
Note the ad for what looks-to-be an Al-toy wagon on the last page.
The price is $99 or Best Offer. Given these include serial numbers, maybe one or more of these vehicles is still around?

“Original 1950 & 1951 Jeep Willys Sales Orders Reciepts Lot Of 21 w/ VIN NUMBERS.”
This first receipt is for a 1951 CJ-3A #GB1-13591, motor #3J-63567.
This next one is for a 1950 Willys Station Wagon 4-73 #473SW-16751 with motor #P19118. Looking at the VIN records for 1950, it appears this would have been a sedan delivery model. Note that payment included the trade-in of a 1947 station wagon.
This receipt is for a 1950 station wagon #673SW-12848 and motor #1S-14109. The receipt includes the trade-in of a 1940 Chevy station wagon.
This receipt is for a 1951 CJ-3A #GB1-11975 and motor #3J-62439. The deal included the trade-in of a 1947 CJ-2A.
The seller wants $59 for this, which seems a bit crazy, but the reason these photos caught my eye is that they show DJ-3A Galas crossing entering (crossing?) the water. Unclear whether this was for fun, for experience or a purpose. It may be some kind of beach-based road that floods at high tide? No description provided.

This unusual ad appeared in a Buffalo Auto Show program in 1955. The CJ-3B was only two years old at this point, yet doesn’t make the cut for the ad. Clearly the emphasis was on the CJ-5.

This ad indicates it was placed four years ago, but this is the first time I’ve seen it. Maybe still available? One might be a GPW, but hard to say. The other is likely a CJ-2A.

This Commando has an unusual dash setup.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1230976524956311
“It has a Buick 350 swapped into it, which runs surprisingly well. It has never failed to start, even after sitting for years at a time. It runs and drives, but needs steering attention and brakes redone. Body is in overall, decent shape. Top is in rough shape and is only on to protect from the elements. It has an original dash, and dash pad, along with a new steering column. There is no wiring, other than what is necessary to start the vehicle. It will come with a new wiring harness, from “Painless Performance”.”
One is very rough.
