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: Price dropped to $5000.
(07/13/2019) this looks like a good price.

This has a curious halftop. It looks like the Jeep-branded Koenig-manufactured hardtop, but in a half-size version. I’ve seen no documentation that this ever existed.

“Here’s a nice family owned CJ 2 that has good structure mainly due to being inside a garage for a long time. The engine was pulled for a rebuild and that’s where it sat until I acquired it. The parts Jeep has had a little ruffer life passing thru many hands but appears to have a good engine in it as the previous owner was still making up grades to it. It was and still is holding antifreeze in it so I sure the motor is still good. Have a title as well…….
$1650.00 for both with title.”
It’s that plow time of year.

“CJ5 JEEP 4×4 Plow truck Willy’s by Kaiser Jeep Corporation 1960. With Title Factory Locking Hubs. Starts and Runs but needs tune up. Brakes need work. New clutch. Spare fiberglass cab top. Plow cylinder needs repair.
Could be a good price.

“This top came off my 1953 cj3b. It’s in good shape. Comes with the top doors and frame work. In the pictures the top is just laying on the frame. It needs to be snapped in to be tight.
I am not going to use it for my cj3b”
UPDATE: Back on eBay.
This odd duck looks like a combination of a CJ-5 and a Topeka Hiway Mower. It’s a no reserve auction with a starting price of $2695.

It started life as a 1975 Jeep CJ5 Chassis. As near as we can tell, it was converted when new into a street-sweeper by the PB Loader company (which is still in existence today). Sometime later in life, someone got the bright idea to remove the street sweeper broom and replace it with a 62 inch quick attach skid-steer style snowblower (Ford 715 Model). We understand that the PB loader company made a similar model for airport tug use.

“I have owned this jeep since 1967! Yes, that is correct 52 years! Did a rebuild with the original flat head 4, then modified in 1972 to a 307 Chevy V-8, 4 speed T90 manual trans, Hurst shifter, overdrive, CJ5 front and rear end. Still has drum brakes which work well. I would love to keep it (why not?!) but we are moving later this year and it’s time for her to find a new loving home. Runs great, current motor has approximately 15,000 miles on it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
Needs a new tail light. Appears to have combat rims.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was make offer.
Lots of work left to make this roll.
“Nice start to a 1951 Jeep Willys Rat Rod… Comes with Z Frame, 1951 Cowl, Hood, Grill Shell, Aluminum Seat, (2) – 20″ Artillery Style Rear Wheels & a set of (4) – 15″ Bart Racing Wheels…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(11/04/2019) To me, this looks like a replacement body rather than a body that’s been restored.
“1953 Jeep CJ3B that has had all body work done and is ready for paint and finishing restoration. Body was taken off of frame and recently put back on after body work complete. Will run but needs a fuel pump and fuel line.”
This is a project with a rear PTO and gearbox.

“Barn find from Red River, NM. Has PTO. Extension for back. Soft doors, tailgate, extra seats. Came from the Prunty estate in Red River, NM. Locals said it ran when stored. Has key, no title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
(11/26/2019) It runs, but will need work.
“Pretty neat old CJ2a. 1947 was the first big year of mass production of the civilian jeep, and not a lot of the 45 and 46 CJ models exist anymore.
L-Head 4 cylinder runs like a sewing machine, good oil pressure and pretty quiet. New fuel pump and the carb was just cleaned and rebuilt. Exhaust is all there and holding together pretty well. Water pump gasket leaks a bit, and somewhere along the line the oil filter was removed.
The body/tub are in serviceable condition; the worst area is pictured on the dr side footwell. Floor is actually pretty solid (for its 72 years). The frame has been welded together and repaired many, many times during its life. And it still needs more work, I wouldn’t call it real road worthy right now.
