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** Bill, the newest owner, believes this was a 1948 CJ-2A.

“RUSSIAN military “JEEP” 1971 GAZ 69 M , powered by Mercedes-Benz diesel engine. Customs Clearance Import Document and bill of sale, sale as is. NO trade! Cash Only. I am selling it as is.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It’s still a bit of a project.
“Project CJ3A for sale. Purchased 3 years ago and have restored it a long way from what it was. Still not road ready, but runs very well and brake system completely redone.
Wheels & tires purchased new in 2015 and have <100 total miles on them. Only have ever driven this Jeep up and down my private road.
Engine is not original to this 3A. It is from a 40’s MB.
Tub has patchwork from previous owner as well as some spotty welds. It is not so much rust as it is just wear and tear over the years. At quick glance it looks relatively clean but under close inspection you can see the patches and holes.
Included is a box of new and used parts I have collected and been meaning to install over the past few years. I removed the roll bar off the back a while ago but that is included as well. 4 brand new shocks also included.
I don’t have the right resources to do this job the way it should be done, which is why I am moving on from it. In the right hands it will be a great project.
I have a lot of information and records recording the money, parts and work that have been put into the jeep. Email or message for more info and details”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $995.
It’s project. Was a Forestry Department vehicle.
“Mostly complete. Will need a complete restoration or would make a good parts vehicle to complete a restoration already in progress. It has frame rust on divers side but it could be repaired. The transmission moves freely. The motor is in unknown condition and will not turn. At one time this jeep was in a forestry department (shield and numbers visible). What is shown in pictures is all that is available & reflect condition.
I have kept this jeep for 4 years and have not had time to restore her. $995 cash – I am not flexible on price and am not looking for a nostalgic conversation. Please only contact me if you are seriously interested, I know this Jeep will move quickly. I have paperwork but no title since its an antique car, can provide a bill of sale.”
Tom shared this ad. It looks like a good price.

“Rare Jeep FC170

UPDATE: This jeep ad is starting to spread to other Craigslists. Here it is on the LA board. The seller wants the buyer to pay for the jeep using eBay gift cards. Here’s a discussion about that type of scam.
A reader alerted me to a scam ad in Sacramento. The seller, Ms. Lisa Cruz, claims to be selling a nice CJ-5 for only $1600. The reader relayed the following:
I was in contact with the seller yesterday via email to find out what was up with this really nice looking Jeep. She says the low price is correct, I said OK I will buy it. Sent her my name,address, phone, She said eBay will get back to me. Never heard anything back. Then someone calls me this morning on the phone and said lisa gave me my number, He said he has a jeep for sale, a 1969 V-6. Since he has my number he asked to text me photos of jeep. Haven’t got them yet,”
The ad has already been flagged once, but then popped up again shortly thereafter. Here’s the current link: https://sacramento.craigslist.org/atq/d/sacramento-kaiser-jeep-cj-cj5/6920359522.html
AD TEXT: JEEP for passenger safety.Tailgate is clean and solid, and the wrapped chains hold it firmly in place. There is no sign of rust or rot on the gate inside or outside.Engine bay is just beautiful, and is ready to display at your local cruise night or car show with pride!The JEEP starts with one push of the gas pedal and a turn of the key when cold, and without the single pump when warm. It idles cleanly, and is ready to go when you are.It drives wonderfully, and has only the typical light play found in a CJ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(06/19/2019) This is listed as a 1946, but the serial number (100385) suggests this is a 1947.
“I have a 1946 Willys Jeep that I would like to sell for $3300. It needs some work, but it does run and drive and titled in PA as a vintage vehicle. In addition to the vehicle, I also have extra parts and an extra T90 transmission and Dana18 transfer case. The vehicle was bought originally as a project, but like almost all these ads, got way too out of hand with a lot of stuff happening in my life (graduating college, getting a job, moving, etc..). However, I would like this Willys to go to someone who would really appreciate its worth and hard work that has been put into it.
Off the bat, somethings that need to be worked on are mainly cosmetic with the body tub rusting in places and windshield missing the glass (I have windshield parts and seals). In addition, the transmission leaks sometimes, depending on the weather, which leads me to seals. Seats for these things are hard to come by (I have been trying to keep it OE), but the office chairs are there so the driver doesn’t just sit on the gas tank. Newer wheels would also be nice but the tubes are new with valves. Continue reading
Carl must have penned a powerful letter! Carl J. Buehler, JR, passed away in 2001.
View all the information on eBay
“1943 Press Photo 10-year-old Carl Buehler’s first jeep-ride, Verona, NJ. This is an original press photo. World War II – United States. Verona, New Jersey. Carl Buehler of Verona, New Jersey, wrote to the president saying that he had been promised a jeep ride for selling war bonds and that such promise had not been kept. The jeep showed up by presidential order, driven by Major Arthur J. Lonegren and here we see the 10-year-old boy getting his much desired jeep-ride. Photo measures 7.75 x 6.25 inches. Photo is dated 11-10-1943.
=================
In 1943, Carl was honored for his 1942 efforts when he joined a New York City parade in 1943. Later, in 1944, Carl was back in the papers as a twelve-year-old hoping to break his previous war bond drive effort.
