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 .

“I have a old willys jeep. It currently is being worked on but would be willing to sell as is. It does turn over and has spark, and ran before it was taken apart to redo wiring and brake lines. Brake lines are done, currently working on wiring, then putting everything back where it belongs.”
Here’s an odd one.
https://duluth.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-134-cj3/6642627461.html
“I have a complete 1953 Willys CJ3-B jeep chassis with a custom roll cage. I have had this jeep for over ten years. The previous owner had the new roll cage installed and never got around to getting the jeep running. I had it running for a little while but then went off to college and haven’t gotten back to in years. I was hoping to have a place to work on it soon but I could use the space in my garage. I am not in a hurry to sell it so the right price will help. I am posting in hopes of finding someone who would be willing to trade an outdoor sauna for it. Please email me your name and phone number and I will call you.”
Scott shared a link to this crazy story on Jalopnik about Don Haynes and his attempt to drive to all 50 states while sealed in a Kaiser DeLuxe.

Joe saw yesterday’s photo from Seattle, which made him think of a similar period photograph. It hangs on the wall inside the offices at the Northeast Classic Car Museum in Norwich, New York, showing a portion of Broad Street in Norwich. (Broad Street is the main street).
Chad shared this nice looking wagon.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1948-willys-jeepster-3/
“This 1949 Willys station wagon is a 2-wheel drive example powered by a 134ci L-head inline-four mated to a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The truck was reportedly refurbished by its previous owner with mechanical overhauls, a repaint inside and out, new upholstery, and more. It was acquired four years ago by the seller, who has since stored it indoors as part of a large collection and has driven it about 300 miles. An oil change and chassis lubrication were performed in 2017. This Willys is offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
“A must see! This is a will conditioned car. Needs a little TLC but runs well!”
Rat rod feel to it.

“I’m selling my jeepster to finance my next project. It has a 283 and a 350 trans. Mustang 2 front, 4 link rear with air bags on an S10 Blazer rear axle. 4 wheel disc brakes. It’s loud and ugly but lots of fun. Kansas antique title. If you don’t like the price make an offer.”
Why the large holes in the windshield?

“I have a 1947 CJ2A. It runs. It’s all original except fir what the fire department did to it. It needs breaks and some wires g gone through and of course tired. If gate to get rid of it, but moving out of the country. Transmission works and also has the PTO. It’s a very solid Willy’s and would love to see it go to someone that can appreciate it. All I need to do is put some gas in it and I’ll start right up. If you don’t like the price please make me a reasonable offere. O have the name of the fire department that used it fir years carrying firefighters through the mountains to start controlled burns and in the back seat carried a large water tank just in case things got out of hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Seller lists this as a 1956, but it doesn’t look like a narrow track to me. And, I technically, the first year for the FC-150s was 1957.

“Soft top, 2 Doors. And framework. Fit early flat Fender Jeeps Willy’s”
Ted spotted this story. Daniel Strohl at Hemmings shared this vintage 1950s photo that features a wagon, among many other vehicles. My two Seattle experts (my aunt and her boyfriend who have 150 years of combined Seattle living experience) think it is either University Village or Holman Road Center. My aunt also informed me that she and I are related to “Ray”, the man who started Ray’s Thriftway, a grocery chain in the Northwest (grandma’s aunt’s sisters’ mother … or something like that). I wonder if I can get a family discount?
