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 .

“1949 Willys Overland CJ3-A
Free and clear title- newly assigned state vin number, original vin tag was gone.
3 Stick Trannie/transfer – T-90 / Dana 18 as far as I can tell.
Early 90’s 305 SBC from a Camaro, according to the casting numbers, I was told, besides the cheap walmart battery, which is mounted in the rear, the engine starts and purrs great. I rewired the majority of the Jeep with Weatherpack connectors. Part of the reason I am getting rid of it is because, I am more of a blue oval fan, which would have been much more gentle on the firewall (distributor would have been in the CORRECT spot!) and if I did keep it, I would surely destroy my perfect driving record, well at least for the last decade. This Jeep has a s@#$load of power and should not be taken likely!!!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Includes a variety of extra parts.
“All original 1951 Willy’s M38. This is not the civilian version. This is the military version with 24V wiring system, fully boxed frame, and water-proof wiring harness. Original Willy’s flathead 134 engine, transmission, and transfer case. Included are many parts to start the restoration including all new gauges with wiring, new voltage regulator, new gaskets, and much much more. Over $4,500 invested. The jeep is not currently running or driving. It will serve as the perfect candidate for a full restoration. Clean Texas title in hand.
I bought this jeep with the intention of a frame-off restoration, but I have many other projects and this one has been neglected. I am sad to see it go, but I just don’t have the time to devote to it. Message with any questions or to set up a time to come take a look. Asking $3,000.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7900
(04/16/2018) Interesting hood design.
“377 cubic inch stroker motor pro built.high and lowrange transfer case. 400 hp quick 19,034 miles all new or rebuilt.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Thanks to Chris for sharing this one.
“Have a nice little fc150 for sale I hate to part it out it is a very unique little truck has the factory radio which is beyond rare. All the glass is good except for the wing windows. Has typical damage for an FC but the rear cab corners are in pretty good condition and most of the rust is isolated to the front floorboards wh.ich is fairly common. I’m asking $3,000 for it as is if you want it for any less than that I will for sure be keeping the radio. Does not have a title will be sold on a bill of sale.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

“Don’t make me turn this into a yard art planter. 1952 Willys Model I believe, but with a slightly later F134 OHV Hurricane engine. Pto transmission.
Drivetrain is complete – interior is your open canvas! No serious rust, very solid. I do have two foldable seats you can also have if you like. Thought I wanted a cool project but then reality caught up. I did get it cleaned up and running – sounded great – but just don’t have the facilities/tools/know how at this time to continue. Wishful thinking! NO TITLE NO TITLE NO TITLE! Call/text or come have a look but please don’t waste my time. There will be no email/internet nonsense, cash in person only.”
No title.

“No title no title no title has been used on a farm for the last 15 or so years has sat for the last 3 or 4 Will need gas tank cleaned out runs if you pour gas in the carburetor Buick V6 fiberglass front clip 31-inch tires nice Tires and Wheels”
That looks more like a Sears DeLuxe hardtop rather than an Arctic top. Sure looks like there’s value here.

No updates for Monday. They’ll resume Tuesday.
TRIP EAST: Sometime this weekend or early next week I’ll begin my drive eastward. Ann will be joining me for some or all of the trip. Somehow, we managed to thoroughly flub our communication. She thought I was just going to the Willys Reunion and coming back, so didn’t see the point in traveling. I knew she was going on a trip to the East Coast with her mother after we return home, so I figured she just didn’t want to be traveling all summer. Once she figured out I was going to be visiting folks and having some fun, she was all “hell ya I’m goin'”.
I have changed my route somewhat from my initial proposal. I will publish the new route/schedule around Wednesday or so. I awaiting some 7 day weather forecasts.
T-SHIRTS, no, MORE POSTERS: I did not get organized enough to print shirts for the trip. Over the past month and a half I’ve had a couple bouts of illness, which made me less productive than normal, so shirts will have to wait. However, some folks did not get posters, so I’ve ordered another round of 50. That will give me plenty for the trip and for the Willys Reunion.
I’ll take the jeep, too! This early CJ-3B ad is in the May 7, 1953, issue of the Heppner Gazette Times one I hadn’t seen.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $150.
Erik’s got this PTO saw for sale. Please contact Erik at 860.778.6575
” Belt Driven Saw Off Jeep PTO – The blade measures 29″ in diameter. The belt pulley is 6″ wide. The saw stands 4 feet high. Saw located in North Central Connecticut. Pick up only. $150 OBO.”
The September 24, 1942, issue of the Nyssa Gate City Journal out of Nyssa, Oregon, published this interesting illustration.
Former government jeep. Should last long at this price.

“I’ve had this Willys CJ3B since 2007. It’s been garage kept. All original. Even the oil bath air cleaner & glass bowl fuel pump. Has new exhaust & manifold, fuel tank & carburetor. This Jeep was part of the Agriculture Research Service till around 1968 when it was sold to the public. I have a complete title history. Original owners manual, service manual. Previous owner was a White-Tail Deer Author and spray painted it flat black & use it as a hunting vehicle. I discovered the original decals after doing some light sanding. If you are looking for a GREAT little running Jeep or you want to do a frame off restoration, this is the Willys to have. My asking price is very reasonable for the condition. The only time I’ve driven it is to take the grandkids on rides around the neighborhood. We named it TUGGER. I may have put 200 Miles on it since I’ve owned it. The rest of time it’s been garaged.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
