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 $14,500.
(10/01/2019) Looks like this was a standard wagon (not a delivery) before it was modified.
“1948 Willys Overland with early 1950 front sheet metal. Powered by Ford (289) matched to the original 1948 running gear with a Timken rear end. Can be inspected at.

Here’s the complete newspaper for the December 1954 issue of the Kaiser Willys Booster News.

This form W-203-5 was part of the 1954 family of brochures.

“1964 Willy’s Cj3b
Before you think that’s to much… This classic Jeep has some very good features:
-very well installed Buick odd-fire v6. Runs excellent. NO damage to firewall. Amazing power.
-full lift kid
-rebuilt transmission
-11” brakes (will fling your dentures if not careful)
-excellent classic Warn winch with original Warn controls inside cab
There is a bit of rust in passenger floor but nothing not easily unrepairable. Otherwise good body.
-new radiator and battery
-will include traditional hardtop
You could easily drive her home (but I’d wear a coat!) Tires on the Jeep are negotiable. Have an essentially new Overdrive setup that could be included. Read Less”
Has potential, especially if the history can be documented.

This is a project, but does have the early 0-10 King Sealy speedometer. If the rust is light, there could be value here.

“I can’t seem to get any more pictures uploaded so for the ones that wanted the pictures I’ll try to send through message.May trade for? Just let me know what you have. It is still 6 volt. Hasn’t ran in eight years I’ve got another one and I planned on tearing this one down and restoring it and making it look pretty never got around to it it is a project and it does need work does have a title. It does need all new wiring harness the seats need to be completely redone missing the pedals lost them after moving it a couple times over the years frame solid does need body work on the bottom of the cab. I’m sure there’s a few things I’m missing but it is what it is so please don’t waste my time.i don’t have to get rid of it”
This 24 page brochure, W-1772, is a little large for my scanner, so I’d put off scanning it. A few days ago I was investigating various large format scanning strategies (bigger than 12″x9″). Below is a test of some free IOS software from Evernote. It’s not perfect, but it sure was quick and I could see using this software when going over old documents at a library, stuff where time is more important than performance.
I might also try one of those new overhead. portable book scanners, though some of these require your computer to provide Admin access, which is a little suspicious (especially since a couple users noted that the unit was causing communications to occur to China).
Anyway, once I get a large format scanner, I’ll get some better scans of this one.
Not in perfect shape, but a reasonable price.

“Rare hard to find mailer newspaper to advertise the first CJ.”
Thanks to Kelso Bob for sharing this unusual creation. I am curious about how the builder went about the Chassis’ ‘Bomb protection’ strategy. It’s not clear if the $40k is a real price or just a place holder.

“This ad is for an old 1950 Flat Fender Jeep Willys. Its pretty much complete and not far off from being able to drive. I was planning on getting a 6 volt battery and get it running but it might be easier to do a 12 volt conversion, not sure. I’m afraid to do anything that might damage the 6 volt system. Anyway I don’t have any long term plans for it and not attached and have other projects going on. So it’s about time to let it go.”
Hasn’t run since 1997. This might have a Porter & Reed hardtop.
