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: Still Available.
(12/08/2023) This has been sitting a while.

“Jeep is in its original condition from the military, our county got it from the Illinois emergency service agency in 1980 and by 1986 they parked it. It has been sitting ever since. Engine is stuck, comes with top with all the sides. I also have a lot of parts I have been collecting to get the Jeep running, I don’t have the time for it right now.”
Unclear how much value is here. It has a dilapidated Porter & Reed hardtop.

“Body is in bad shape. Early chevy V8 255 Cubic inch transplant motor. Current Iowa title. Comes with a 72 inch Meyer snow plow. I can load on a trailer”
Serial number plus grille suggests this is a 1951. Gotta love the thick dust, lol … been sitting a while.

“Uncles that he thinks is a 1957. Has tons of parts on bed as u can see in pictures, radiators, rear ends, transmissions, motors, and driveshafts. Tons of stuff for the price, message me with any questions and I’m sure we can make a deal, thanks.”
Here’s a project or parts.

“Selling my 1950 Jeep CJ 3A. I was going to put an engine in it and drive it as is but have lost interest in the project. The frame is very solid. No rusted through spots or repairs to it. The body is very rough. Im sure someone could fix it. I was just going to leave it as is. Sold with Bill of sale”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/12/2024) The red CJ-2A looks in reasonable shape. Note the hubs on the blue jeep (last pic). I thought those might be McCain hubs, but they are not.

“I have 3 willy jeeps. 1 is in really good condition, runs good. Converted to 12 volt, brake and tail lights hooked up, started redoing it but never finished. Other 2 for parts. Running one has the extended box that can go on back”
This eight page Jeep News volume 10, number 3, begins with the news that 53 Wagoneers were in daily use around the 1964 World’s Fair in New York. The paper also reported the presentation of a WWII jeep to the Smithsonian Institution for display. Pages 2-5 also cover the World’s Fair.
Page six introduces the CJ-5 and CJ-6 Tuxedo Park Mark IV models. Page seven covers the World’s Fair, again. Page eight covers international news, including an Amsterdam show featuring a van-like custom body on an FC-170 chassis.
The four-page April 1961 issue of Jeep Service and Parts News begins with the usual “here’s how to make more money” story on the front page. Page two introduces a new Bendix radio for jeeps, refering to Parts and Accessories Bulletin No. D-57, while a story on page four under Money Maker shares the news about Willys Overland Air Springs, referencing Parts and Accessories Bulleting D-39. I am now wondering how I missed ever seeing references to “Parts & Accessories Bulletins”? I guess I wasn’t looking for them. I’ll look and see if I can locate some.
Yesterday I was looking for something when I stumbled upon a Jeep collection in Lindon, Utah,(a short distance north of Provo, Utah) called the Jeep Guy Museum. It’s the first I’ve heard of it. I guess I’ll be back down to Utah to visit the kids sooner than expected, lol! The Jeep Guy currently offers private tours (possibly requiring a donation?), but hopes to move to a new location where they can be open to the public.
https://www.thejeepguyutah.com/jeep-museum
“The Jeep Guy Museum is a private jeep collection consisting of vintage to new jeeps from 1944 to 2021. We have rescued and preserved jeeps to keep them in their original form and bring the ones that need it back up to running condition. We have also built very capable jeeps at The Jeep Guy for offroading and exploring the outdoors.”
UPDATE: This clock sold for $167.50 on eBay.
Looks like a neat piece.

“This is a Willys Jeep Sales & Service Lighted Clock. Measures approximately 11″x11 1/2″x2 3/4″. Clock is a standing countertop/desk display in plastic and works as it should. In line switch for light and quartz clock. Please note on the backside of the clock a few speckles of paint-likely slight overspray. Good collectible memorabilia.”
Blaine shared this auction. It’s hit $24,000 with 16 hours to go as of this Thursday night post.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1944-willys-mb-2/
“This 1944 Willys MB is finished in drab green with white military-style accents over green canvas upholstery and is powered by a 134ci inline-four paired with a three-speed manual gearbox and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes 16″ body-color wheels, a folding windshield, a jerry can, manually locking front hubs, and a radio receiver and transmitter unit linked with a body-mounted antenna. The truck reportedly underwent a refurbishment under previous ownership, and the seller acquired it in 2021. This Willys MB is now offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name.”
Daryl has listed this CJ-5 with an unusual hardtop. I assume it is home made. A lot to like here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1032236844535404
“1971 CJ5 V6, t14 and 18 transfer case. Runs drives and stops great. The guages even work. Been sitting in a garage since 1981. Just short of 34k miles on it. Lots of new parts just installed to get it back on the road.”
This has updates. Seller needs it gone.

“it’s a 2 seater 1948 Jeep Willy’s with a 289 ford mustang motor runs good it’s 4 wheel drive with a automatic transmission current registration recently replaced the carburetor and did a tune up on it $9000 OBO need gone asap”
Another jeep on FB that I have no record of listing, despite being listed since last summer. Seems worth a look.

“1947 Jeep willy has good paint great tires no rust under belly has a soft top to keep the wind out it’s a great piece of history and is an eye catcher one of the only cars that has 4×4 . CONS: does need some work it’s fires up and runs just the carburetor needs to be cleaned up and breaks need a new master cylinder which I have brand new in the box along with new wheel cylinder.”
I believe this is a modified Traveller.

“1963 Willys. 350/350 automatic. Solid vehicle. Not a show car. Clean black interior. Paint is not perfect, but looks good. New 33” Wild Peak tires on 15×10 Pro Comp rims. Drives great in 2WD. Issue with 4WD. Front hubs will lock, but transfer case will not engage. Price has been dropped for this reason. Will consider trade/partial trade offers for another classic. K5, Chevelle, Vw Bus, Bug or Type 3 or something cool. Clean Ca. title in my name.”
No pics of the interior, but the outside looks solid.Thanks to John for sharing it.

“1946 Willy’s pickup. Engine,flat 4, rebuilt, new starter,distributor exhaust and new paint. 3 speed on the column, shifter linkage sometimes locks up. Road ready, runs and drives. Was not a military vehicle.”
This solid looking 2A with updates has a replacement body. The tank has been moved into the back with a filler tube through the tailgate (I presume the tailgate no longer functions).

“Old School build in family since 1956. 350hp/350 Chevrolet engine. Manual transmission with electric 33% overdrive. Dual fuel tanks, PTO winch, Dana 44 rear with post, Dana 25 front with post. Power steering, new battery and fuel pump (mechanical is new) electric fuel pump. 12” Lincoln brakes. This needs a new home with someone that can enjoy it.”
Someone might find this worth the money. Note the missing piece of bumper on passenger side, not uncommon.

“1950s Willy’s Jeep Nice old toy $100”

Bret’s selling this wagon project with a cargo carrier on top.

“1949 Willy’s Overland Wagon. Project Vehicle, title and registration clear. GM straight 6 motor. I’ve lost interest in the restoration, my lose is your gain. Price Reduced! $5K OBO!”
John spotted this one. The seller notes he has a bunch of NOS parts in Southern California as well. The reference to parts in Cali coupled with this jeep in Phoenicia makes me wonder if this is one of Andy’s rigs, as I thought he mentioned he has parts in a trailer in California.

“MOST SOPHISTICATED & Most $$ JEEP ever made. Do your home work. All Aluminum, alloy V block, 4 speed, and LSD everywhere. USMC 80697 will be sold after the Mojave Jeep.
