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: Price dropped to $650.

Here’s a solid looking early CJ-5.
“This old Jeep runs great.
It is mostly all original. It has the “F” head engine, a hydraulic snow plow and PTO operated winch. The engine was rebuilt in 1993 and the plow and beefed up suspension were added in 1998. It has HI / LOW range, 4 wheel drive, and a three speed manual transmission. The transmission is in great shape and does not slip. There is little rust on the body. The interior seats are in good shape and are not torn. The cab is removable as well. ”
UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**

“Runs well, engine in great condition, hard top. Parked in the barn.

I’ve owned this jeep for three years, purchased from a filmmaker/collector here locally who has several willys. I’m not sure how long he had it prior, but I got the distinct impression he’s committed to these vehicles. He has specific shops in Treadwell and Morris that he trusts to work on these (Morris is an hour away from here, which says something.)
I could not speak with certainty on the engine being original– I do know he had it machined and tuned just prior to my acquisition. The carb was also rebuilt.
The brakes seem to be in good condition. The top is in good condition minus a couple chips in the rim. All glass is in good condition (the side windows do not roll down). There is no handle on the passenger door.
The floor pans had been repaired in the past– plates added– they’re adequate but it could be prettier. There are a few rust holes. The toolbox is pretty rusty and has a few holes.
The frame looks good.
It has most certainly been repainted– I couldn’t say what the original color was.
New battery this spring. The wiring needs the turn signals and brake lights sorted out.
Runs very well and strong. Front wheel 4WD locks move well without a tool.
I deregistered it last year as I was fundamentally using it on the farm (to move firewood, and rarely) and didn’t want to pay insurance. I have the papers for easy transfer.
Quite simply, this jeep has gotten little use since I got it– housed in the barn, battery changed, rewiring started, oil changed. I’d keep it if we didn’t need to cover some unexpected expenses.”
UPDATE: Was $120. **Status Unknown**
This has the rare swinging doors. Looks like a good price.
“Cj5 hardtop, driver/passenger doors, and rear doors. Everything is there but the hardwear. Some surface rust, but no rust holes. Asking $120 obo. Open to trades, I would love to trade for an original willies tailgate (it’s the only part I’m missing to complete my cj5), but let me know what you got.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Runs and drives. Has a rare set of rear doors. Reminds me of Andy’s airport jeep, but not identical to it.
“Willys Jeep fitted with home made plow
Runs and drives running gear in very good shape
Comes with set of tire chains
Have clear title and current MN plates”
Looks like a great price on a sears aluminum full top. Top seems in good condition. Jeep is not for sale.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1650.
Mike’s selling his project. The hardtop is unusual.
“For Sale a project I have lost interest in. I have a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A body/tub, front fenders, hood, grill and aluminum hardtop too…then I also have a brand new 2×4 steel tube frame, and running gear from a 1985 CJ7, 2.5 motor, D300 transfer case, front end, rear end, radiator, hanging pedals too, I just picked up a T5 5 speed transmission, a T18 Ford truck trans, and also the original T90 that went with the Willys originally. This would make someone a great project with a lot of the hard work done but a lot is also still needed to finish.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Unclear if this runs or not.
“1949 WILLYS JEEP WITH EXTRA TRANSMISSION AND EXTRA TOP, awesome project”

This 3B looks ready for the hills.
“Willy CJ3B Vin 454GB236847 Asking price $17,000.00
Engine original 4cycle “F” head
The ultimate 1950’s adventure package with all the vintage aftermarket additions; Sears aluminum cab, Braden power take-off winch with half inch cable, Warren hubs, 2nd gas tank under the passengers seat, and block heater. Includes a Bantam Trailer Corp. munitions type trailer, originally designed with the same wheels and rims to pair with the CJ. This trailer has a fabricated aluminum covered top. There are a total of 8 original rims with vintage bias-ply tube tires in great condition. Other additions include removable rear seat, handy man jack, CB radio set (with 12 to 6 volt converter), spotlight, conventional AM radio, vintage metal ice chest, and 7 vintage metal jerry cans. The vehicle spent more than fifty of it’s years living in the comfort of a garage. The upholstery is in great shape but the foam liner on the inside of cab has deteriorated.
The engine was rebuilt in 1963 by a precision motor shop in Denver where it had the crankshaft plated in hard chrome, all the moving parts were matched and balanced. In 1979 both the front and rear axles were fitted with positraction differentials. The original spider gear parts are still in good shape and included with jeep. A full set of chains is also included. The performance of The Little Red Jeep with positraction and chains in difficult situations is very impressive.”
