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: Still Available.
(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,”

Travis shared this one. It has been parked for 32 years.
“Looking to sell a 1966 Jeep Gladiator pick-up truck, One owner,

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.”

Lots of updates. It’s been over the Rubicon 26 times.
“This is a one if a kind completely built original jeep fully restored, street legal, but Rubicon ready 4×4 classic. I have over $50k invested into this jeep but must sell due to I don’t use it any more. It has been through the Rubicon 26 times and never a dent or a scratch. Hard to believe but this was my baby. Every single thing in this jeep has been completely built or custom fabricated. Too much to list in this list but please call if serious. This jeep will be the most admired on the Trail because there are only so many mint condition 47′ Willey’s Flat fenders left. This hero will only go up in Value. Serious inquireys only.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown**
Seller has two jeeps and some power train parts.
“I have 2 Jeeps for sale and lots of parts. 67 cj5 needs engine and front end swap. 56 cj5 needs put back together and a little TLC. These are stock Jeeps and have some rust, powered by 134F heads. Also have 2 flathead engines 134 L heads. Also complete M38A1 military running gear, engine, transmission and transfer case, front and rear ends. Give me a call and we can talk price and trades. Always looking for Jeep CJ parts and need late cj5 stuff at this time.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(09/23/2017) This “1948” has a CJ-3A windshield and an early CJ-2A grille. I’m guessing it’s a bid of parts.
“1948 Willys Jeep most part all complete posting for a friend it’s solid very little rust and none all the drive trains in it motor will need to be overhauled”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $800
“I have a good, pretty much rust free tub, 2 sets of fenders, a grill, one frame that the tub is on [has been modified somewhat but could be brought back easily] rancho springs, steering column, a hood that has been cut for a scoop, another frame that is rusted out at behind the rear springs but has front and rear ends, a trans and transfer case in it and a cowl but the rest of the body is gone and it has a column and box, later ball joint front end with no axles or outers. Also, if you pay my full asking price I WILL INCLUDE A TITLE FOR A 1945 CJ2A. But only if you pay full price and that is not negotiable at all. I also have a Ford 2.3 liter that was going to go into this project, it was propane powered and low hours, I will include it for an extra 300.”

I’ve seen this photo on Getty images, so they likely would claim that the organization owns the copyright on all of these images.
“1945 Press Photo Fisherman Uses A Jeep to Reach Distant Trout Fishing Areas. This is an original press photo. Jeep has a future in postwar America The versatile jeep, which has become known as the “Sweetheart of the Army,” has a future in postwar America, both as an agricultural and industrial machine. All kinds of special bodies, air compressors, and pulley attachments for postwar units can be used with the jeep. Here a fisherman uses the jeep to reach the far-back trout streams and lakes. In low, low gear it reaches these distant pastures which are always too far for the fisherman on foot. Photo measures 8 x 6.25 inches. Photo is dated 05-26-1945.”

Strangely, this 1956 Comic book (#31) on eBay features T-Man (Treasury Man) Pete Trask fighting a “Red Agent” in a Ford GP, while four issues earlier T-Man raced bad guys in a more traditional WWII jeep (see bottom photo). I wonder why the comic switched to an older jeep? Maybe we have to read it to find out??

The asking price for the complete package is $26k.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200. Note the steering setup.
(06/28/2017) This runs and drives, though the seller indicates there could be some work to be done.
“1955 Willys Station Wagon 2wd with Ford 289 V8 engine and C6 automatic transmission. Power steering, A/C (needs compressor), tilt steering column, and custom interior. 2 sets of wheels, 2 sets of hub caps, 1 set of spinners, and 2 extra hoods.
