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 $800.
Listed as a 1956, this jeep has serial number of 454 GB2 making it a 1954 model. It does not currently appear on Derek’s 3B VIN list.

Newton made at least two different models of the mower, a “J” and an “L”. It was the “J” that was used on the jeep (according to the ad). (See brochures for the Newton and other mowers here)
“THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1948 ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE NEWTON POWER SICKLE MOWER; FITS TRACTORS AND JEEPS; MANUFACTURED BY THE H. G. & S. MANUFACTURING CORPORATION IN NEWTON, WISCONSIN. AD IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND HAS EXCELLENT GRAPHICS. AD MEASURES 5 1/8″ X 3 5/8″.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $75.
This needs a new tank.
“Vintage toy 1970’s Cox .049 gas powered car. Good condition. Missing fuel tank.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000.
Looks in good shape.
“This Jeep was completely rebuilt 10 years ago with a frame off restoration. Rebuilt original 4 cyl motor and transmission, new tub, new wiring, new Firestone military NDT tires, many new or reconditioned parts. My goal was to return it to as near new condition as possible, and it’s been continuously garaged and driven just 1100 miles since the restoration. This is as close as you will get to owning a new, 1947 Willys CJ 2A and is nothing but fun to drive. I’d like to see it go to a good home.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
Not quite “unmolested”, but pretty close. It appears to be a “Lefty”. The top is interesting. Whether custom or dealer offered I couldn’t say.
“A True Survivor and Garage Find. Everything is original and unmolested. From the estate of my father, Gordon Churchwell, he purchased it new and registered until the mid 80’s. Afterwards it was used around the farm for recreational use. In addition, there are several photos showing a rare back seat, fog lamps, a mesh grill, a tow bar, original heater, the original canvas doors, spare tire, and other misc parts. The top he made from marine plywood and fiberglass coated as he spent his years in retirement restoring antique wooden boats. It can be easily removed. It isn’t currently running and will need restorative work. All items pictured is included in the sale. Pick up only and transport is responsibility of buyer..”
Has a number of updates.

Ted spotted this one on Barn Finds. The starting price on this is $13k. It’s supposed to have only 7900 miles. View all the information on eBay
“True barn find survivor recently pulled from back of dry metal shed after a long 10+ year storage. Main pic is where it sat, then pics after pulled.. Always in Texas was always just a hunting vehicle, rarely if ever used on the street. Runs and drives although does have an exhaust leak and heater core is bypassed and needs to be replaced. Two of the heat control cables are broken. Small dent in lower right rear quarter. Very solid, original driveline, runs drives, shifts and stops, stays cools, good oil pressure, doesn’t smoke, lights work, glass excellent, paint all original in useable shape, tires new, has original spare, clear title in my name. New brake master cylinder. Have the two original white soft doors, but do not have the rest of the original white half soft top. I don’t believe there are many out there this original with this low original miles for under $20k. Motor even still has all the smog gear on it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2850.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500. This might be a Station Wagon Bodies hardtop: http://www.ewillys.com/2012/08/10/letter-about-woodies-by-station-wagons-inc-on-ebay/
(10/29/2016) This has a funky hardtop (and a flat tire).
“1946 Jeep Willys CJ-2A, perfect winter project for restoration. Extra parts including: motor, trans and other parts included, see pictures. ”

There is some value here given the Meyer hardtop, but not clear how much.
“Pre 59 willys m38a1. Im assuming this is military or dod use jeep as it has the place for a shovel under the hood a 4in fuel filler and the compartment on the cowl section does open. What i do know is it has the dana 18 twin stick tcase which is worth a good bit by itself. Also has a t90 3speed, dana 25 front axel with dana 44 rear. Also has a hurricane f head engine that turns over by hand. Lots of new parts inside the truck. Engine and tcase were built in 77. I dont see this taking alot to be running and going again. Located in eclectic price is negotiable in person.”

I found this Hurricane Engine Introduction on eBay. It’s the first one I’ve seen. It credits Barney Roos for redeveloping the L-head into a more powerful engine without forcing a complete retooling.
I think this method of filming engine removals of L-134 and other vintage jeep engines could prove useful to folks. I didn’t know the radiator was attached to the “power pack” on the M-151. That’s handy!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

Ted spotted this VEEP. It mightn’t be an actual VEEP, but rather something custom given the MB looking body.
