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.

“1950s Jeep Willys. It did run but we haven’t taken it for a drive in some time. It obviously would be a fun project but we don’t have time these days. So hopefully we can find it a good home. Please call if you a interested in looking at it so I can arrange that. Serious inquiries only”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Could be a good price, but perhaps there’s something seriously wrong?
“Jeep needs some work runs.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
If the running gear is in good shape, it sure seems like there’s value here.

“I rescued 2 Ford GPW tubs that were being stripped for parts down in Sacramento. I couldn’t bare to see them scrapped knowing their history. Many of these Jeeps came from nearby military installations and i would hate to see their sacrifices scrapped for parts. I know both are GPW because of the shape of the rear tool boxes. The front glove boxes are different which will tell you roughly what year range they are.
Both tubs are somewhat rough but nothing that cant be welded its just steel and these GPW’s are TINY!!!! There is no title for either of them and i haven’t been able to find any serial numbers. Happy to provide a bill of sale. I know its possible to get a hull number assigned to these as I had one on my 1951 CJ3A. I would love to see these go to someone competent who will either restore or at least let them live on as someone else’s project. $500 each $1000 for both.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $500.

“This was a leftover project my son picked up and decided he didn’t have time for it is titled as a 1950 cj3a post owner did some extensive chassis work it was set up for scout axles uses Wrangler YJ Springs the frame rails have been box tin plated it has custom crossmembers and bumpers on both ends he had it set up with an AMC V8 in it also has hanging petals course you can tell from the pictures that the body has been linked and out and needs a little work but would be a very solid project rock crawler Rat Rod or? But the important part is it’s got a clean title ”

“willies jeep high hood tub, fenders, and hood also has a rolling chassie
good project starter or maybe just some extra parts”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Might be worth a look. Needs work.
“Its a 1975 Jeep DJ series. It’s 2 wheel drive. It has a straight 6 (232ci 3.8L) and a automatic (a727) transmission. It’s right hand drive. it needs work. It’s a project. The battery is new. The front brakes are new. I replaced the transmission pan gasket on the transmission but it still leaks.
To get it at least in good driving condition, the transmission needs to be addressed to stop the leak. The brake system needs a flush. Tires should be replaced. The brake pedal itself needs new bushings. It needs some lights replaced. That’s the stuff that would get it on the road. After that I would check to make sure the alternator is good. Replace the fluids and do a good tune up. It’s does come with a new kick-down cable and bracket, as well as a new throttle cable. It also comes with a tow bar.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

Someone must need these…
“I have two original seat frames with newer cushions for a CJ3a, along with a straight looking rear seat that was homemade. All material is in good shape, just needs some cleaning. I bought them for a project but decided to go a different direction and am just trying to recover my money. $75 for each of the front seats, $200 for all three”
This is an online auction.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
Here’s another M-38A1 with the extended rear. It looks to be a ’52 or early 1953.
“I really hate to part with this project, but I just have too many. This is an original military type jeep but what makes it even more rare is that it was extended in the back like a scrambler for some special purpose. (not a cj6 because they were extended between the wheels and this one is extended in the back. As you can see it it has the military dash board, windsheild, front grill, cut out for battery box and heavy duty suspension and steering components. It looks like someone modified it at some point with a Buick Dauntless V6 225 and it ran when i parked it here.
It needs a new floor and i have another tub with a great floor that i was going to cut out and put in this one but never got around to it. This would be such a great head turner project with just some big tires and a great military type paint job or like with any jeep, whatever you can emagine. Call me to take a look at it. I garantee you will not find another one like this! Almost forgot. I have a half cab top for this thing so it could look like a pickup if you like.”
Dan shared this project. It still has its ‘Jeep’ badges on it.

“Hello, for sale I have my 1948 Willy’s rat rod. I have put a lot of time and money into this, and just don’t have enough time to finish it up right now. Here’s the story on it.
I bought a 1948 Willy’s Army Jeep, took the tub off and hand it sandblasted. I then purchased original parts for it planning on restoring it to an original army Jeep. So I have special ordered original green military paint for it, original windshield, hood, dash, seat brackets, etc.
I then decided to take the project it a different direction, and purchased a nice 1989 Crown Victoria with 60,000 miles on it, and the Ford 5.0 fuel injected engine. It has coil-over suspension in the front and rear, along with disk brakes.
