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** Was $1800.
Needs work.

“Available to adventure seeker this 1944 Ford jeep. For the casual user, it wouldn’t take much to get this puppy going. For the restorer a good foundation. With what’s there, all appears to be original. Data plate shows DOD of 5-4-44. Ford body, frame are proper. Transmission appears to be a T90. Vehicle is located approx.. 17 miles off HWY 101 near Laytonville CA.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was no price.
Joe-in-Mesa has this unusual Bellhousing and adapter combination. He’d like to find a good home for it, as he has no plans for installing a 260 Ford into his flat fenders.
“This bell housing is from a 1962 Ford Falcon 260 (V8) motor with 4 speed trans! I also have the clutch/bearing arm for the bell housing. That’s the same engine used just 2 years later in the Mustang and even early Cobras J. The bell housing is marked C2OA-6394 FoMoCo 62-1 (Jan ’62?) and Sheffield.”
Seller must sell.

Roger Martin shared pics from his FC event last weekend. it sounds like everyone had a good time.
Brandon spotted a Willys Wagon in a photo hanging on the wall of a Bowling Green, Kentucky, Steak N’ Shake.
UPDATE: John spotted this video. This 8×8 was last listed on eBay and sold for $11,100. It was relisted in 2014, at which time the video below was posted. I believe this sold, as it is no longer listed on the seller’s website.
(08/11/2012) “Built by legendary fabricator Dick Cook out of California be sure this rig was was put together the correct way! Known for his collaboration on the mechanical side of cars built with legendary 70’s car builder “Big Daddy Ross” his name is synonymous with multi-axle vehicles. This build includes the following:
-2 Overland wagons and 1 Jeep used to build this amazing Overland Custom
-Rebuilt 327 Corvette engine powers ALL 8 Wheels!
-Fuel Cell inside
-2 Leather Bucket Seats
-White face gusges
-Working emaergency sirens and lights
In full disclosure, the items that are not 100% show quality as follows:
-There is a bit of overspray on the drivers side
-The interior could use some TLC to get to show quality
This Willys will literally go anywhere, and it has. Dick Cook personally drove this rig with his daughter from Crested Butte Colorado all the way over the pass to Aspen only a few years ago for a road trip. With the option of locking out the rear 4 wheels this rig will motor down the highway at 65 mph. Also has one of the best turning capabilities of any auto out there. It will “crab” down the road in a parade or 8 wheel steer itself out of any trail corner. Bid now and be the owner of this one of a kind WIllys 8X8 Overland before it makes its way to Barrett Jackson Las Vegas and goes for who know how much!”
Rick spotted this one. Could be a good price.

“Here is a stock, unmolested survivor pickup. It is very straight and mostly rust free. Very solid, was used on a farm so only bad part is the tailgate is rough. It has 230 tornado that runs good and t90 3 on the tree transmission. Nothing has been modified, including hubs. It has 4.27 gears and does hi way speed easily. Glass is all good, doors are tight. It has sat at times but I drive it once a month , 30 miles round trip to my daughters. You will not find a better candidate for restoration or just drive. I have extra parts from a j3000 I was going to install, but decided to keep it stock. complete set up for power steering, door mechanisms, and some other parts. It also has stock wheels and hub caps in the bed. Yes you can drive it home, it has collector plate. $2500 or possible trade.”
It appears this is a WWII chassis and front clip (fenders/grille/hood) with a CJ-2A or CJ-3A body. In addition, the steps on the body have been modified and the drain holes on the sides have been filled. The rear of the body appears to be filled in. The windshield is aftermarket or from an M-38. The front and rear bumpers have been modified. Contact lindsey for more info: 831.227.8497
“This is from a family estate, we are in the Bay Area California and prefer a local buyer. Price is firm due to estate parameters. Thanks for taking a look!

I suspect there’s an MB/GPW body under that diamond plate. Maybe even a chassis, too. Note the rear shock absorber.

“1947 Jeep Willy’s CJ2A. 4.3 liter Chevy V-6, 4spd. chevy transmission. The rest of running gear is stock, all new brakes and seals through out, Motor was inspected by a mechanic before it was installed and looked in excellent condition. Good clean body and paint. New top. custom front bumper w/5000 lb. winch, Newer radial tires. Good little Jeep.”
This is listed as a 1941 with an M-38 body. The body lacks the M-38 glove box, but has the battery box lid. The frame has the angled rear shock mount rather than the vertical one, so the chassis may be civilian.

“1945 U.S. Army Willys Jeep, possibly the most sought after vintage vehicle in America. This is one nicely restored example of WWII transportation. It looks good at a cruise in, car show, parade or Military Vehicle Collector’s events. It will not disappoint. 4 military tread tires with 95% tread and a spare with 80% tread all on 16” combat rims.Top was new in 2015 and the transmission was gone through in 2016 and is fitted with Warn hubs. Converted to 12 volt system and has an “OOgah horn installed. The tub has been powder coated and it has been garaged since the restoration. I am posting this for my brother Lee who was in the U. S. Navy SeaBees in Viet Nam thus the Navy lettering. The photos in this post are photos of photos so they are not the best. Questions and contact can best be made directly to him with the phone number provided in this post. Neither he or I do the text thing. It is located near Payette Idaho and is being sold as is where is with no guarantees but you can start it up and drive it home if you wish. I have the same vehicle and it trailers like there is nothing behind you due to the low weight.”
I’ve not felt well all Monday. We’ll try for updates on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, I hear that the Old Willys Forum is down. Here’s more information on that from Pete from the Facebook page:
“A huge Thanks to everyone for being patient while we rework the forum! We’ve been down for nearly a week now, way longer than I expected… In the last nine years, the forum has never been down for more than 24 hours.
The conversion of the forum database to the new forum software is well underway,…. Getting the image attachments and gallery reconnected is the hardest part, and takes the longest. Once we get the basic forum up and running, we will be adding all the details back into the forum (graphics, icons, avatars, new features,etc) over the coming weeks.”
Updates will resume Tuesday.
Packrat shared this neat photo of a wagon at an In & Out Burger. I didn’t know In & Out featured Kentucky Fried Chicken (maybe for a short time .. I can’t find any history about that).
UPDATE III: Another version of this press photo is on eBay.
