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 $3500.
(06/14/2014) This jeep has an unusual dash.

(02/17/2013) This has some unusual customizations, including the dash.
We are getting transferred out of state, do not want to move with us, but can if need be. So bring offers, the worst I can say is no thanks.

I thought we’d seen this one previously. It uses a latch system to secure the tail gate. Looks like a good build.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
I thought this was interesting due to the aftermarket dash and the doors. I haven’t seen the dash used very often in the M-38A1s or CJ-5s.
“I haven’t been able to post pics. But I have some. The jeep needs in my opinion minor body work. It has a dodge fireball v6 engine that runs. It has hydraulic pump and lines that run a very powerful wench. With a little work this WILLYS could be rock climbing or cruising in no time. I’m selling because it was a project me and my grandfather had been working on but we both don’t have much time for it and he needs some money and I want to put some money down on a used Harley.”
UPDATE: **status Unknown** Was $20,000.
That’s the most louvered hood I’ve seen on a jeep. Interesting build.
“1950 Flat Fender show piece small block chevy,sm420 trans 35″ tires everything new lots of chrome must see.”

This might make a good restoration project. It has an interesting dash mod for the gauges.
“All stock except for 12 volted wiring. Runs good! Strong engine, 4×4 works, new upholstered front seats, full roll cage, 31″ tires, with no rust or body damage.”
UPDATE: Was $7500. **SOLD**

This has some unusual features. No shortage of dash switches. I can’t tell what’s painted on the hood. The hubs appear unusual.

This fiberglass bodied jeep has a few mods and includes a Warn OD.
“Hot rod 50 willys jeep, ford small block ,headers,holley carb , fiberglass body, 4X4, new clutch, thanks for looking thanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD*** Was no price.
No description. The pictures are fuzzy, but it is clear the tires are Desert Dogs.
UPDATE: Still Available. I didn’t realize how unusual the dash was on this one.
“51 Willys with 3.8 Liter Buick odd fire V-6, saginaw manual steering gear, 2″ lift Rancho springs, Confer shackles, back seat, Best Top bucket seats, Tow Bar, dual exhaust. This is a project that needs finished. It has sat for 10 years. motor started but carb has stuck float and leaks, pressure plate is stuck to flywheel. Wiring needs work.

Marc forwarded this ad. Since the wheel base of this rig was longer than the standard flatfender body & front clip length, this builder ‘stretched’ it to fit by extending the cowl sides and adding a piece to the hood.

UPDATE: Was $25,998. **SOLD**
The name on the side of the jeep, Methow Valley, refers to an area on the east side of the Cascade Mountains along Highway 20. It’s a pretty area.

It does have turn signals and I do have the wiper motors which are not installed”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900
(07/19/2012) The dash is certainly unusual. I guess it is good this wasn’t a Ford GPW, or the gauges would have been arranged in an F.
