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 weekend in the Southwest Ohio FC Gathering. Contact Roger at 937-477-5270 with any questions.
Using the Stradivarius as an example seems an odd choice to me given the Jeep’s demographic. Seems like they could have picked something a little less aloof. Maybe something like, “even a race car needs tune ups” or “even John Wayne has to go to the doctor for checkups”?
“Dealer sales service advertising of Willys. Measures approximately 5″ by 8″ Good condition.”
Here’s another one that was on eBay:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This early 1950 Bert “King of Jeeps” catalog only has about 24 pages. The price is high, but the seller will accept offers.
“Offered – Berg’s Truck and Parts Co., Genuine Jeep Parts and Replacement Parts, Catalog 150. Age – Dated 1950, stamped on the back.”
Looks in good shape.

“Rare old jeep in very good updated condition. v6 motor, power steering, warn hubs. Like new top and tires. many more upgrades. Runs and drives great.”
Has a variety of updates that would make it a good road and trailer jeep.
https://kpr.craigslist.org/cto/d/eltopia-jeep-willys-cj3a/6936268706.html
“Hazzard Fabworx of Spokane has reworked the suspension, power steering, changed out all the fluids, battery, serviced the diffs/transmission/transfer case/overdrive, swapped in disc brakes all around (‘94 Geo Tracker) and installed lap seat belts.
It has an “odd fire” V6 motor, Dana 30 front/Dana 44 rear both with 4.27 gears, T90 3-speed transmission, Dana 18 transfer case and a Warn overdrive. I will say the original overdrive was a Warn but the owner before me had it rebuilt by Herm The Overdrive Guy in Washington, so it’s physically a Husky case now. It also has a Warn 4500 lb winch mounted on the front.
The odometer reads 30k and change. The thing still runs and drives great. It doesn’t burn oil and still has the original VIN plate. The story I got when I bought it was that it was a forestry service jeep in Oregon, hence the decals.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7500.
(08/01/2018) Has some updates. Looks like a WWII head.

“49 Willies one of a kind Jeep. Featured in Rod Authority Magazine in 2018, this was my daily driver in 2018 and you will not be disappointed with the looks, waves and thumbs up. The trophies from the car shows are also extremely nice! Won an award at each show we have entered.
This ‘one off’ custom has been built right. The body is all original steel. The frame is ‘C notched and boxed’. 400cdi Ford V8, mild cam, Edlebrock Carb, C6 automatic transmission capped off with a Ford 9” rear end.
The top and doors have been chopped. Customer made tonneau cover hides the battery and 13 gallon fuel cell. Custom built 4 link. 46-48 Jeep Comanche 2 wheel drive front end. New pads all the way around, hand made steering wheel, mechanical door latches opened from the interior. US Steel solid wheels, I have 2 additional US Steel wheels that are 20” x 9” with BFG runflats and spacers. If you plan to trailer this you may need to install them to fit on the trailer.
The zoomie exhaust is loud but there are baffles in each tube. Starts, runs and drives like you would expect.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This looks like a very good price. It includes an extra set of doors along with an extra, standard, M-38 windshield.
“I have a nice jeep arctic top for sale, this comes with extra doors and windshield frame, will sell everything for $400.00 or make me an offer”

“1961 Willy’s truck, 6 cylinder, clean title,does not run, no seat, hubs lock ”
========================
Here’s a unique fiberglass Flatfender replica out of South Africa from GP Team. The dash is particularly unique. Apparently, these are in the experimental stage. The bodies will be available with an MB or a CJ style grille.
https://www.teamgp.co.za/p/697928/fibreglass-replacement-bodies
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was R3,500.
This body, branded a “Badger”, looks to be the same body style as the GP Team’s body. The branding was place on the hood, tailgate, and windshield. The Badger appears designed for the VW chassis, while the GP Team body looks designs for a standard Willys chassis.
It suggests to me that GP Team may have bought out the Badger company and removed the Badger brand in favor of Willys.
Here’s an example of oak complete Badger body, which may be designed as a VW body type.
This two-page Ramsey Winch brochure is dated 1959, but given there’s a wagoner on the front, it’s likely front 1963 or later. Still, it’s got some neat illustrations about how to winch.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/02/2019) Seller notes this has the original suspension. The problem is that this lacks any leaf springs . . .

Tom’s selling his nice looking CJ-5. For more info, contact him at thjones36@gmail.com.
https://youngstown.craigslist.org/cto/6939918438.html
“A 1967 Jeep CJ5. Bought this as a basket case and took it down to the frame. Frame and axles were cleaned and painted with POR15. Axles drained, cleaned out and refilled. Transmission is rebuilt by Herm-the-Overdrive guy. Brake lines all new and professionally installed, all new brake components. Rims cleaned and powder coated with new all-terrain tires installed.
Tub was removed cleaned and painted with year correct paint, undercoated with an asphalt sealer. New gas tank and lines installed, carburetor rebuilt. The entire electrical system is all new. Re-built Dauntless V6 installed, however compression is a little lower than it should be. Runs well but needs tweaked to get it running better. New exhaust system, new alternator, new gauges, new windshield, new Smittybuilt XRC 9.5K winch on an aftermarket bumper and new seats.
Like most of these will need a little tinkering to bring it up to it’s full potential but all the hard, and expensive stuff has been done. I have extra parts and an extra engine (that needs rebuilt) to go with it. Clear title. Have over $14.000 into it at this point but just don’t have the time to keep up with it and drive it. I’m probably forgetting lots of other things I’ve done and installed but you get the idea.
Hope to find it a good home. I’ve had a blast with it.
Can help with delivery if within 200 miles.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
It’s supposed to run and drive.
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $5500.
There’s an odd hole in the windshield frame.

It’s rough but could be a fun project for someone. I bought it with those intentions and then got bored with it.

Roger Martin shared this winning ad. Someone had some fun with this. Now, the seller is ready to let it go. The “price” suggests it is free, but the seller would like a buyer to make an offer.
