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 .
Casey shared this followup reminder about the Willys Rally. They expect a bigger crowd this year due to the recent JP Magazine article.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $16,000.
(11/18/2017) Can the driver see over the engine?
“Very cool chopped top hot rod Willy’s

Needs some work.
“I have a 1947 Bantam T3-C trailer in need of some freshening up. Comes as shown with Bill of sale only. I’m also including a sheet steel tub that I had made, it is the correct size to replace the rotten deck, with enough material on the sides to replace as much as you’d like.
My plan was to restore it and make a camp trailer to tow behind my Jeep. This would be a great choice for a Willy’s trailer to tow behind a CJ2 or similar.”
Scott shared a link to this 1952 story about eleven Boy Scouts who drove for 73 days across the country and back in a single Willys truck. It’s worth a read:
Here’s how the story begins: “In the summer of 1952 I was one of 11 Boy Scouts from Glen Ridge who joined Troop 3 Scoutmaster George Gimbel on a 73-day cross-country adventure. The trip took in 22states and two Canadian provinces. Nineteen fifty-two was years before the construction of the Interstate Highway System, so all of our travel was via state and local roads. We saw the country up-close. We camped out every night in national parks, state forests, and Boy Scout camps.”
Seller believes this is an Army jeep due to the passenger side indents, but that more likely the sign of a replacement body.
“1946 Willys CJ2A, Go Devil L-134 4 cylinder engine, rebuilt generator, just tuned up. No rust or rot.
Frame off restoration done 12 years ago. Original PTO in the back. 3 speed standard. 6 volt system.
all gauges work. no directionals, never had any. all lights work. 19,000 original miles. never had windshield wipers. added a 6 volt electric wiper on drivers side but never ran voltage to it. she is a Army Jeep you can tell by the indents on the passenger side of the sheet metal. has some paint chipping. She runs excellent. will add more pics this weekend.”

Includes a spare f-head.
“54′ Kaiser Willys Jeep with spare motor for parts. Was running a while back but haven’t started it up since. Has a brand new battery, tires are fairly new. Will probably need to be towed. Great project and look cool driving it.”
It’s propane powered. Lots of mods.
“Slat grille 41 Willys MB, super low serial number (under 3k). 22re got propane powered engine, Toyota 5 speed and t case with crawler gears. Toyota axles with 5.29 gears, Detroit front, e locker rear with cable. 4 link 1/4 elliptical rear end, leaf front, all on a custom boxed frame. Full soft top with doors, warn winch, 2 propane tanks, lots of extras. Runs and drives but needs the lights and winch wired up, could use a tune up as well. Tons of extras, CB, stereo rubicon rack, set of beadlock wheels. Trailer included, for the right price I’ll include an 89 F250 tow rig (11k for it all). 35in old style Goodyear muds, spare is a BFG km. Will consider trading for a small RV of equivalent value of possibly an old VW bus. Registered for the street with a 41 license plate. Currently in storage, serious buyers only.”

I think the seller’s credibility slipped when he listed this “99.5% original” jeep as a 1946 …. It appears to have a CJ frame, given the PTO bar on the back. This may well be a mix of 2A and M-38 parts.
https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/d/1946-willis-2-4-cyl-flat-head/6476032716.html
“99.5 % original
Never been altered mechanically EVER
Valve & Stock fuel system
Factory P.T.O Front Winch
Rear output shaft on transfer case – implement drive ect
Ran great until 1996, when last used.
All brakes etc were working
Should run and drive with minimal work –
Should be gone through prior to use!”
Needs clutch and brake work.
“The good-
Low rust
225 Buick v6(runs great!)
Hei ignition
Edelbrock carb
Weiand intake manifold
Headers
New radiator
New Electric cooling fan(runs nice and cool)
Bfg 32″ mud terrains in good shape
Power steering
The bad-
Clutch needs work
Brake need work(includes new master cylinder)
No enclosed top
This is a super cool old Jeep. It just will not work for me having two little kids, I need a hobby car with a roof.
Jeep runs great and drives just like you would expect, needs a clutch and brake work.
Will consider trades for cool car or truck no basket cases or total projects.”

Scramboleer Dan shared an Old Willys Forum thread that has pics and a discussion of a 1954 four door wagon that has two rear suicide doors. Later on, the thread contains a video link with Paul Barry sharing a photo of a 3 door wagon with one rear suicide door. At this point, the unknown question is … was this modified at the factory, at Fairmont, or somewhere else? In the meantime, we all seem to be unanimous in our jealously of the new owner 🙂
