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 $5500.

UPDATE: Dan’s laid out a caravan schedule for next weekend’s Open House.
Subsitute caravan leader Dan “scramboleer” here. Just a reminder that the Willys America Open House and BBQ is just a few Saturdays away on July 8.
The 2017 Caravan basically takes the morning to drive from Millbrae (south of San Francisco), across the Golden Gate Bridge, and then out through western Wine Country to Cazadero where Willys America hosts an open house and BBQ.
Here are the details:
Begin route on Hwy 280 North.
Stop 1: 8:00 am – 8:15 am Trousdale Exit on northbound Highway 280. (This exit is in Millbrae, meet on the east side parking area after the off ramp). The exit is about 5 miles north of Hwy 92.
Follow 280 North. Take 19th Avenue north through San Francisco to the Golden Gate Bridge (Hwy 101).
Stop 2: 8:45 am – 9:15 am Golden Gate Bridge vista point. (Located on northeast side of bridge.) Great picture spot!
Continue Hwy 101 north to Petaluma. Exit west onto Lakeville Road., Stop at McDonald’s at the shopping center on Lakeville Rd.
Stop 3: 10:00 am-10:20 am McDonald’s parking lot in Petaluma. (Exit west on 116/Lakeville St. and look for McDonald’s)
Continue on North 101 and exit at Hwy 116 West (Gravenstein Hwy towards Guerneville). Follow Hwy 116 through Forestville, Monte Rio and turn North onto the Cazadero Hwy. Follow Cazadero Hwy until you see Willys America, 6152 Cazadero Highway Cazadero, CA 95421.
This jeep seems to be expecting to be deep in water.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** was $1495.
Chris had this Auburn Trencher for sale. His email is hngc2013@gmail.com
“Selling this Jeep-A-Trench from the Auburn Machine Works company. It’s a late 50’s model that has been stored inside since the 70’s. The auger teeth and arm were never used. Looking to sell as a complete unit for $1495”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
(06/04/2017) Looks nice. This has an early 0-10 speedo, but the front spring shackles aren’t reversed. I believe they should be reversed if this is truly a ’55 (I thought the springs were reversed at least into ’56?).
“1955 Jeep Willys – 4 wheel drive, manual transmission, 2.2 4 cylinder engine, new tires. Starts….runs….drives….4 wheel drive works. Body is in good shape with little to no rust. Top included. Clear title in hand. Asking $7,000 Open to offers and trades.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
(06/06/2017) Looks like some money was spent on this rebuild.
“This is a very rare 1961 Willys FJ3 Postal Van with original F134 Flat Head 4 and Borg Warner automatic transmission.
There is none nicer – Just completed the professional Exotic Coach Specialist 4 year mechanical restoration includes a long block rebuild, transmission, rear end, 12 volt wiring harness, brakes, cooling system, new carb, custom aluminum fuel tank, custom seats and so on. Too much to list. Van runs and drives great. Odometer reads 74,000 but just approximately 100 miles since rebuild. Top speed is 55 mph. Own a piece of history with this right side drive postal van made by Willys in Toledo, Ohio.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Mike has some Maverick trim for sale.
“Full stainless steel trim set from a 1962 Willys Maverick Wagon. The Maverick was the top of the line wagon, with stainless trim everywhere. This trim is in VERY GOOD condition, with typical oxidation. None of the trim has been cut, bent or damaged in any way. Note: the tailgate trim is a different profile than the other trim – so I cannot be sure it is OEM. It appears to be the correct length however. Buyer pays for shipping.
The trim you see that is taped on the vehicle was done so for your reference only. It was carefully removed by me prior to bringing this vehicle home. I did not want to take any chances on losing it.
Let me know if you need other Maverick parts. I have some interior door panels also.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $6800.

Has some updates.
“I have for sale a 1952 Willys CJ3A Jeep with a 3 speed transmission and a Chevy 4.3 V6.
It has a new tub, fenders and grill from Kaiser willys.
All new gauges with sending units.
New wiring harness.
Rebuilt Chevy 4.3 V6 with less than 500 miles.
Engine had a Edelbrock Performance 4 barrel carb and aluminum intake manifold.
MSD coil on distributor ignitions system.
Relocated oil filter.
New performance 3 row aluminum radiator.
New thermostat and water pump.
New Flex-a-lite 2500cfm fan.
Rebuilt T90 3speed and transfer case
Samurai axles front and rear with disc brakes in front.
Optima battery
Electric fuel pump with new fuel tank.
I have a binder full of receipts on the original build that nearly exceed the asking price. Not to mention the time that has been invested. Only issues I would address would be to re-gear the Jeep or install an aftermarket overdrive to have a slight lower RPM while cruising on 2 lane roads. Also the front drive shaft needs to be hooked up, due to a clearance issue. Otherwise this is and excellent show winning vehicle that could be a great weekend driver! Only selling to pay off some debt and get my shop in order for future projects.
I’m currently asking for $11,500 OR BEST OFFER.
I will consider partial trades for other Jeeps, Scouts, land cruisers or any interesting projects.”

This ran when parked, but no longer has a battery (or at least a good battery), so in its present state it doesn’t not run and drive (it might with a battery). The body is fiberglass.
