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 $900.

“This is an older highway mower it’s four-wheel-drive with what I believe is Willys undercarriage it has a flat head four-cylinder continental motor need some work”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $525.
Dan spotted this rare camper shell.
“Willys Jeep Pick Up Aluminum Camper Shell. I had it on my 1957 Willys Jeep Pick Up.
Standard Willys Jeep trucks had the same cabs and beds from about 1948 to 1962 or so. It would fit these years.
Made by ” Caravan Co, Reno Nevada” Has a steel rack with rollers for a canoe. Strong build.
Needs 1 flat glass side window. Some rust on the top roof vent. Small dings etc. as seen. NO BIG DENTS.
Good original condition. Would polish out or can take CAMO PAINT.
Some photos of it on the truck are black before it was cleaned. Photos off of the truck are as it is today.
Changed the look of the truck a lot. Don’t see many of them out there…”
Includes a Warn OD. Front shackles reversed. Sounds like it needs an engine rebuild.
“Rebuilt trans, transfercase and Warn overdrive. Runs good but overheated it and smokes when it gets warmed up. Original eng.
2-1/2 inch springs with greasable shackles. reverse shackle kit installed for smoother ride. Asking 4,000. Make an offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(04/1e/2017) Needs wiring.
“Engine fires right up and runs good. I bought a new Walcks 4WD wiring harness and wired the engine, battery, voltmeter, ignition and starter, but all the rest of the new wiring needs to be hooked up. It has been converted to a 12 volt system and a spin on oil filter. It comes with a roll bar, trailer hitch, tow bar, Bestop soft top, new turn signal switch and additional new wiring. Also included is a spare Tranny and Transfer case, plus a set of decent front fenders. I’ve invested over $5K.
I have too many home projects pending to spend any more time on this little jeep. I need to move on. It needs a garage for the winter and someone needing a project.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7800
“I’m selling my baby! This is a really nice vintage jeep that I rebuilt ground up with my Dad who is a well known roll cage and custom bumper builder. The jeep is fully functional and starts right up… great gas milage, good power for its weight and the low 5:38 gears will crawl up dam near anything! I’ve taken this jeep up Hacket Rock (Hacket Gultch) with no problem.
With a little cosmetic work, this jeep could be one of the nicest vintage jeeps around.
Heres a little more about the jeep:
– Clear title.
– Leafspring over conversion giving it added lift and flex.
– 1 inch body lift.
– Fully boxed in frame.
– Custom and nicely shaped roll cage.
– Custom front and back bumpers.
– Body floor replaced.
– Winch roll cage.
– Early 70’s Chevy Nova 4 cyl engine.
– Power steering.
– High gear, low gear, 2WD, 4WD shift options.
– Custom aluminum firewall.
– Custom center console.
– 1/4 inch real rubber liner throughout the interior floor.
– 33×9.50 tires with some good life left in them.
– Top in good shape but cracked plastic windows.
– Body is in good shape but showing some bondo cracks.
– Little to no rust.”
================================
Order pics from early 2017.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
“Good shape overall but needs some repair.
Only glass is in the doors which is in fair condition… appears original
Windshield in great rot free
Could use some new paint, the roof needs a little repair and has a dent as well.
The majority of the top and doors are Aluminum and the windshield is steel.”
It’s a project.
“Have a mostly restored ww2 mb jeep. Was running when I started the project. I also have 5 CJ rims, two ndt tires, gas tank, muffler and a few extra parts. Have a walks 4 wheel drive wiring kit for it.”

“1947 Willy’s Jeep. Engine, Transmission, transfer case, and radiator have been rebuilt. It runs but needs to be re-tuned. It was tuned with the choke on. Other than a larger size brake and different seats it is all original. Great for off-roading!”

Joe-in-Mesa joined the MVPA last weekend (You can track the convoy’s progress here) while they were camped in Williams, Arizona. He filed this report with photos!:
“I trailered my ’42 GPW up Friday to join in the festivities thru Sunday morning. She ran pretty well, despite not liking cold morning air and me forgetting to tighten the points adjustment securing screw (oops). I understand 47 MVPA vehicles rode into Williams, and our Phoenix area clubs brought up another half dozen-ish. Our AMVCC club treated them to breakfast Saturday morning at the vehicle parking encampment. It was truly a perfect weekend: the vehicles, venue, weather, and so many great people!”
I’ve attached about 14 of the many pics I took, focusing on the jeeps. My GPW shows up at least 5 times since I wanted to include the Rt 66 and Grand Canyon RR images that were the backdrop to the whole event.

(09/03/2017) This has the body and front clip of an M-38, but it has a PTO bar on the rear, suggesting the frame might be civilian.
“Jeep is tagged as a 1949 Willys based on tub serial #.
Runs great and driveable as is. It is not perfect and has a few minor things here and there but is a great Jeep. It does not have a rear seat or top. It does have a rear PTO winch and the PTO is there intact. 4×4 does work. Brakes work but for their age and technology are relative.
Tires seem ok and I drive on them but you may want to get new ones. 3spd manual transmission. 4cyl motor.”
