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 .
Seller claims the prices are cheap.

“47 jeep willys,flat head 4 cyl.run,drive good”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(06/04/2017) There seems to be some parts value here. It has a Studebaker-type overdrive.
“I have a 1957 Willys CJ6 with hard top,
It doesn’t look pretty, but it is basically complete and it does run and drive (with a little help).
It is no where near road worthy, but it shows it’s all there.
There is rust, but it is restorable.
It is a CJ6 (just like CJ5, but 20” longer in the middle).
It has a small block Chevy v8 but I do not know what size it is, never looked. It has a T90 3speed transmission, a Dana 18 transfer case with a factory overdrive attached to the rear. It is NOT the warn overdrive, it is a Studebaker overdrive with cable engagement and lock out solenoids.
The engine runs, very smooth and very quiet. it can and will drive up onto a trailer on its own power. Brakes really don’t work though.
Stock front and rear differentials, D25 front and D44 rear.
60/40 front seats, no rear seat.
4 old dry rotted stock type tires that will hold air long enough to move it around.
It has a Koenig full length hard top with some rust here and there, but again it is easily restorable. The rear hatch is missing.
The top is off and disassembled in the back. All pieces that you see in the pics are there.

Thanks once again goes to Charles for sharing these photos.
This German soldier was 7′ 6″!
This photo is from 1944 at the Battle of the Bugle. These are some Belgian SAS members.
Blaine shared these two pics of a Topeka mower he spotted at the Ag Museum in Union Gap, Washington. This one has a little different look on the front. You can bet we’ll be stopping by and checking this one out in person.
Glenn spotted these FCs. There are 35 days left until the auctions finish.
This DJ-3A Convertible is #30 (SN #10030). It looks like they opted for a hardtop rather than a soft top. It’s been sitting in a barn for many years, but looks pretty stock. The jeep has a Sears Aluminum Deluxe top, so hopefully the floors are in good shape. You’ll see on the engine an original dry-type air filter. The engine compartment also has a washer bag, suggesting this has a windshield sprayer; I wonder if it was foot powered? t only has a single vacuum wiper (the passenger side is a hand wiper). It may make a great restoration project. The seller listed it on Facebook here:
This jeep has a rear PTO and gearbox.
“1961 CJ 5 Willys Jeep – $6000 I have had it over 30 years. Runs great. Original with PTO. Matching bumper attached trailer included. No rust! I’m selling it because I’m downsizing.
Cash or cashier’s check only. No scams. Don’t waste my time.”

Mark posted this at warjeeps.com.
“For the past 50+ years it has been driven roughly 30-50 miles per year. It was owned by a former board member of the Reno Air Show and was trailered from Reno to the event and only used to drive around the grounds of the show. Still has the original stickers from the air shows on the front wind shield. Recently had service done on the brakes, oil, etc.
Most likely one of the cleanest non-show car 75 year old vehicles you will see. Recently we did $1400.00 worth of maintenance. Runs great. Would like to find it a nice home.”

“This has been on this farm for 40 years and been my toy and tractor. I can no longer give it the attention that it needs. I started to fix it up a year ago but lost my health. I put new Edelbrock carburetor, high output coil and new electronic distributor. It’s got a late model 3 speed transmission full sincro. The tub is in rough shape but running gear is good. It’s got a 44 rear end and upgraded front to handle the 327 cubic in stock engine. I have a fair amount of parts that go with it. A bunch of chevy parts, terra tires and extra wheels plus a lot of other things I will throw in. 2 Holley carborators extra Transmission and other auto parts.
I would like to make this a package deal because because I’m downsizing for a move.

I’m still up from last night … in fact I’m sitting in the garage typing this up, so I’ll make this short. I pulled Patterson’s engine to swap with Rusty’s engine. I’ve got most of the parts swapped. Patterson’s tranny, though dirty on the outside, looks great on the inside, so I’ll just use that. I have some details I’ll discuss later, such as the carb linkage.
