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 .

“Very unique Jeep. 26k original miles. Great shape for its age. Currently does not run, there is hole in the gas tank and the carb is off and it doesn’t have a battery. But if you hook it up to a battery it will turn over, hurricane 6 cyclinder. Not for sure, but I believe this rig was originally a fire truck. Title in hand. ‘

Looks like a good start on a project.

“1949 Willys Jeep. No engine or trans. Rough, but restorable. Lots of extra parts. WA title. $750 obo, will consider trades. Please come look at it rather than text for info, if possible.”
Rick shared these unusual hubcaps. Given the single “J” on them, I’d guess these were produced by Cutlas Manufacturing? At the bottom is an example of “J” branded hubcaps by Cutlas.
These were for sale in Florida:
Here’s an example of the Cutlas “J” branded caps from Pascal’s website: http://jeepwillysworld.com/blog/2016/01/23/j-hubcaps/

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800. Looks like this has a civilian chassis.
This looks like a good price. It’s missing a few of the M-38esque parts

(10/09/2016) Looks like a nice build.

Call or text for more info and dont need help selling. ”
The seller has a complete jeep and a parts jeep.
Listed as a 1946, it appears to have a later grille for that. It also has an M-38 windshield. Seller would prefer to see it stay original.
“1946 Willys CJ2A with clear title. Was driven to it’s current location 5 years ago with no brakes. I never got around to bleeding the brakes so now I assume it needs the brake cylinders rebuilt or replaced. It was originally red and then painted green. After that it was rattle canned yellow. The wheels on it are from a CJ5. It has the original Go-Devil motor. It was converted to 12 volt and I never got around to putting it back to 6 volt. It still has the original front hubs and was never converted with lockouts. I have too many projects so this Willys is up for sale. I have a car dolly and I will consider delivery as part of the deal. I will give preference to someone wishing to keep it original and not put in a V8 or other conversion but I understand if someone wants to give it more power.”

The truck runs and plows.
“1960 Willys, runs well. Many new parts. Needs a few thing to put it on the road.”

Craig spotted both of these modified wagon projects/parts jeeps.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Craig shared this one. Seller wants it gone.
“I have a 1948 Willys Cj 2A for sale. I have done some tinkering on it but since I am away at school most of the year it has got to go. It comes with two engines, one free spinning and ready to go in and an extra motor with condition unknown which i have pulled some parts off of. All tires have good tread and hold air, but do have some dry rot. It is old, it has rust. No title, have the original VIN plate and bill of sale. Great project or for parts. Whatever you want to use it for, MAKE AN OFFER and lets get it gone. ”
There’s some value here. Too bad so much of the original art work faded.
“Up for sale is my awesome willys jeep that I was going to restore. I’m selling because of too many projects. Has 1 spot in right rear where it rusted through a little. Other than that the body is in great shape!! This is a really solid jeep!!! No engine or title.”
https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/6150956970.html
Listed as a 1951 body, it might be an aftermarket body. It’s got the solid back and a civilian floor, but lacks a gas tank outlet on the rear, which means it isn’t a DJ-3A convertible or surrey body. It might be an aftermarket body.
“For Sale 1951 Willy-Jeep Body
Has good Arizona Title.
Call Mike for info. Selling for $700”

No pic provided.
“1971 Jeep CJ6 with Half cab.
No engine, trans or t-case.
Roller tires and wheels.
D27 front, D44 rear. Body tub is not perfect at all, but in pretty good shape overall for its age.
What you see is what you get.
I have had it for about a year now and I just don’t think I’m going to get to working on it. It’s been under cover since I’ve had it.
These are fairly rare and hard to find. Although I am open to reasonable offers, once you’re standing in front of it, I will not even listen to stupid low ball offers.
Cash in person only, the only trade I would be interested in is a good clean working Hot tub or more jeep stuff.
If you decide you want it, you will have to come back for it. It is buried behind a couple of others and I will need some time to get it out to the driveway.
Text or email only, I’m not normally able to take calls freely.”
