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 $7500.
This appears in good shape.

Buz spotted this one. It is a no-reserve auction on a beautiful, stock CJ-5. You’ll want to look at the pics of this one. Compare the picture of it to the brochure below in the next post, too.
“Selling for my computer inept friend. This 1960 Willys Jeep CJ5 is in Beautiful Original Condition, probably the nicest original CJ5 in existence. Totally Original Paint, Upholstery, Engine, Miles, Everything is ORIGINAL. 21055 miles. Clear Title. Original Spare Tire is not shown in the pictures but is included in the sale. The tires are believed to be the originals and are in good shape with normal wear and no weather checking. The Jeep has been stored in a carefully climate controlled building and has seen just enough use in the last many years to keep everything functional and working well. The Jeep starts easily, runs perfectly, goes down the road as it should, and it needs nothing. The Hardtop appears to have never been removed since new. All fluids are fresh and the battery is new. Look closely at the pictures, they tell the story about this vehicle better than words, more detailed pictures are available if you request them via email. The Jeep shows very minimal use and wear with no damage or repairs. All sheet metal is in oustanding condition and the only corrosion is very minimal, located near the tailights on both sides, the pictures show this clearly. Floor pans, fenders, quarter panels hood, undercarriage, were undercoated early in this CJ’s life and have been remarkably preserved. There are no hidden problems, repairs, or any funny business … This jeep is the real thing, a near museum quality original, unmolested survivor.”

This is missing the fuel filler near the driver’s side (nor is there one in the rear). So, I can’t be certain what kind of body this is.

I’ll have to check my history, but I’m pretty sure ‘completely restored’ jeeps don’t have electric fans. Looks in great shape though.

A couple items need fixing, but otherwise this looks good.
“1951 Willys Overland 4WD Pickup…$6,000 FIRM
1951 Willys Overland 4WD pickup restored to original. Stock Hurricane F-Head 134 c.i. engine. Recently rebuilt. Runs excellent. Original floor mounted stick T-90 3 speed transmission. Hi/Low range works fine. Lockout hubs. Original 7.00×16 tires. Original owner’s manual. Restoration completed in 2005.
New glass, chrome replated, spray in bed liner, etc.
Known issues:
…engine runs perfectly, but the truck bogs down when going up hills. Believe this is a timing/vacuum advance issue??
…per original owner, the original 1951 cab was totalled in 1956 but the rolling chassis was not damaged. Another 1951 cab was purchased and placed on the original chassis. Consequently, the engine and body #’s do not match. This was not a problem when I purchased and registered the truck in California.
…brakes occasionally grab when brakes are applied
…drivers side window is off the track and is laying loose inside the door panel.”

Original tub. Looks well restored.
“Hi, I will give this a try…..I have a 1946 restored Willys CJ2-A that was done about 3 years ago. It was a 5 year project that was fully pulled apart and gone thru. It was done to original with details taken into account. It has repro front fenders, tailgate and windshield. The tub is original with welded in panels where needed. Every thing was but-welded with no over-laps, no pop rivets, not hacked. It was done right to look right and to last….no rust left! Original bolts were saved, cleared and installed where ever possible. It looks as good underneath as on the outside! It has the T-90 3 speed rebuilt, L-134 engine and the Warn overdrive. New brakes and lines, like original wiring harness etc. Too much to list. Original vacuum wipers, gauges and 6 volt electrical system with generator. It starts easy and the lights are bright at night. I am having knee problems and have a hard time with the clutch and brake up-setting my knees.
This looks good on the outside (though the tailgate appears a little odd). The cab needs some work and wiring.
