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 .
Here’s a July 1962 brochure highlighting the latest features of the Jeep Utility Wagon.

(12/12/2017) Appears to have a Koenig hardtop and a replacement body. The drive train has been upgraded.

This might have a set of Free-Lock hubs. It’s listed as a CJ-3.
“I have for sale a 1958 cj3 with a buick v-6 motor, original tranny & transfer case, and runs out pretty good. It has new seats, brakes, carb, and needs some more tlc. This is a rig that will run & drive while you add your finishing touches.”
This might have a Porter & Reed Half Cab. It’s got a bed extender as well. It’s listed as a 1942, but clearly is a CJ-2A.
“Great 4weeler”

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“This is a solid 1952 Willys Jeep. It runs well and is drivable, but will need some brake work before it’s ready for the road. It has the overhead valve engine. The hood scoop is because it was updated by the military to the overhead valve engine from a flathead, and more room was needed for the carburetor.
I’m no expert, but here is a brief description of the APU conversion. They were converted by two companies for the military, O.E. Szekely and the Valentine Welder and Manufacturing Company. The APU stands for auxiliary power unit, and they were also called jet starter jeeps. The military converted these Jeeps for use in the Navy and Air Force. They were used among other things to start jet aircraft. There were a few variations, they made both 3 and 4 wheeled versions.
The right seat and factory toolbox underneath it were removed, and a pto was run up thru the floor towards the right seat well, to power the generator. I will attach a picture showing one, and here is a link to get you started:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
“1960 Wills Wagon for sale. Needs body work both inside and out, but a handy person could turn this guy into a real gem.
Replaced the stock engine with a 283. PTO winch, sunroof. I want it to go to a good home. Classic plates.”
It hasn’t been driven in almost two decades, but it runs.
“Nice yard find CJ5 Willys Jeep. Starts and drives, body good condition, floors have been patched. Original except for the seats. Last driven 17 years ago. Have title.
This would make a good restoration project or with a little work a fun old Jeep to drive around. I would do it but I already have two projects and no room.”

This appears to have a short wheelbase.
“Willys pickup not sure of year, shortened wheelbase, v6 Buick, runs no title $1000 obo’

(11/08/2017) T.J. spotted this one on Facebook. The half top with suicide doors sure is unusual. I don’t recognize the top, but it looks pretty well built.
“1947 Willys Jeep, Rusty, missing some pieces, good clear title and ID tags,”
https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/d/1947-willys-jeep/6439114061.html

We drove to Seattle and spent the evening with family on Tuesday, so no updates for Wednesday.
– Dave
Just a few updates today. We didn’t head over to Seattle on Christmas day due to the ice and snow, so I expect we’ll be heading there today.
It still needs assembly. It’s Red-Y-Cut model #321.
“It in great condition, looks to be complete, and in the original box. Please view the pictures and ask any questions before bidding, all items are sold as described.”

Bill spotted this ad. It looks as if all the wheels are sold for $120, but maybe each set is $120?
“Jeep wheels 8 inch 5 lug. Ford wheels 10 inch 5 lug.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
Bill spotted this one. The fenders on this are rough, especially the passenger side. But, still might be a good price.
“Fixer-upper, 1970 Jeep CJ5 Dauntless, 50k miles, 2 wheel drive, V-6 225 c.i. engine, automatic transmission, like new tires. This is a Dauntless, a unique Jeep CJ5 that came with the V6 225 c.i. engine and automatic transmission. Engine is in good shape, runs smooth and clean, no leaks, lots of torque and power, (not like the underpowered 4 cylinder).”
UPDATE: Still Available.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Orange body with a Blue roll cage.
*CLEAN-Fairly fresh paint job, Jeep Cherokee front bucket seats with covers, Renegade back bench seat. Fuel cell mounted under rear seat ahd a full roll cage.
*Rebuilt Buick/Jeep 225 V6 short block, Offenhauser 360 intake with a Motorcraft 2100 2bbl carb, and fenderwell headers and ACCEL Super Coil.
*T14 tranny with modified T-case. I used Spicer 20 case (to bolt to the T14) and put Spicer 18 gears to keep the 2.46 gear ratio and offset for the rear end.
*Original Dana 25 front and 41 rear with 5.38 gears.
I just don’t have the time to finish this project. Too many other irons in the fire. Very – Very little left to make this a great trail rider or street vehicle. (NO Title)
**CASH only.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.
It’s a project. Seller will go lower on the price.
“Runs and Drives! Original motor from what I can find online. Has PTO winch on the front which alone is worth $500. I have a new steering wheel for it. It fires up great with a few squirts of starter fluid and then purrs like a kitten, that doesn’t have an exhaust pipe. So like a big sick kitten. Brakes dont work, but who needs those anyway? It has a set of tire chains and the original little leather bag that was under the front seat. That alone is worth the money im sure! Body has minor signs of sitting in the forest for 40 years. So that being said, its a little rusty. ITS A PROJECT. That’s what I got it for and thus with many of us who buy these things with hopes of turning it into the beauty she once was, alas I must send her on to the next wisher. So if you think you’re up for the task, make an offer. I set the price high because i’m not interested in talking to people who aren’t serious.”
