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 $10,000
Here’s a crawler for you.
“
TRADE FOR TJ LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE. I HAVE WINDSHIELD FRAME AND TAILGATE”
Nice Truck spotted by HOG!
“Hello and thanks for looking! For sale is a 1949 4 wheel drive Willys truck professionally restored in 2008. This was a frame-off restoration. The truck has been used very little sine the restoration with 875 miles on the odometer. This was a painstaking, frame-off restoration that took over three years to complete. No expense was spared in this restoration. Everything was replaced new or rebuilt to factory specifiactions. The truck runs and drives like new. The 4 cylinder motor was balanced and runs like a swiss watch. The transmission and transfer case was completely rebuilt. Everything was replaced. New saturn overdrive was installed as well. The bed is new. The original willys-overland symbol was grafted in the new tailgate. Over 40 hours of labor went into this task alone. Besides the original gauges, Stewart-Warner gauges accompany a 6 volt tachometer. The interior has been upgraded and the there is a SIKKENS two stage paint finish on the interior and exterior. Please e-mail me with any questions. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!”
This looks pretty solid.
“1946 Willys CJ2A in great condition. This unit had a frame off retoration by the previous owner. It was converted to 12 volt with new steel body, springs, brakes, carburetor, fuel pump, wiring harness etc. No rust. The speedometer and gas guage do not work and I do not have a top. It should also have new tires as current ones are weather cracked. Troop style seats were added to the back but remove easily. $5500. Runs great, ready to drive. thanks”

“1943 Ford Jeep with early 1960’s 170 cu in six-cylinder. 45,000 odometer miles. Original running gear with add-on overdrive unit and winch.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
Here is a sweet truck.
“1963 Willys 4X4 PickUp for sale. Aprox 98000 original miles. Super Hurricane 6 cyl engine, runs strong and smooth. Koenig PTO winch works great. Beefy bumpers front and rear. This is a clean nearly original truck; upgrade from vacuum wipers to electric. Paint and body are in very good condition- no rust. This truck has been very lightly used, never abused. Great for farm truck or trip to the car show! A must see! $8000 OBO”
This looks well restored.
“This little girl got her second chance at life. She’s a 48 that was stripped to her frame and redone. There was 14,901 miles on it when I got it, so the motor is untouched and starts right up. I put 152 miles on her so far since I finished her. The body is all Steel!!!! Not a Bondo bucket like a lot of them I’ve seen. I replaced all the rusted areas with the original thickness steel, not the cheap reproduction panels. Seats were redone to original specs. This one was not ordered with a rear seat so the factory plugs are still there! The suspenion has all new shocks, bushings, bolts, brake lines, brakes, everything. She still has her 6 volt electrical system. Now if you are looking for one for the originality this might not be for you. First off you couldn’t get a blue with white wheels jeep in 48. Also, the frame and axels are out of a CJ3B (stronger then the CJ2A), comes with the original axels if you want. And I added turn signals to make the drive easier. I did this jeep to be USED, not a trophy getter, so it is not 100% perfect. Thats why I did the things I did, but she still won best of class at the one car show that I did take it to. I DON’T HAVE TO SELL IT. So no low ballers or tire kickers. I just thought I’d let someone else have fun with it, and I’d start another project. My cell phone number is 1-920-901-6568”

The price looks good for this flattie. The paint job looks like one of a kind.
“Runs well. Great hunting rig. Transmission and Transfer case recently professionally rebuilt. $2400 obo. E-mail for phone number or additional pictures.”
This sounds like a great price. Tranny and tC need bearings according to the seller.
“1952 Willys 4X4 p/u. 1965 Buick Special 225 V6 engine with very rare dealer installed Warn overdrive. Heads recently torn apart and upper engine resealed/rebuilt- inside of engine is incredibly clean. Newly balanced driveline, tires with less than 1k miles. Rated for up to 1 ton towing. Great rock climber, VERY roadworthy. Transmission and tcase need bearings replaced and we just don’t have time to mess with it, too many toys and not enough room! We have another truck- similar year for parts (not in working order) that comes with it, but you must pick it up. Also, newly painted hood with original hold open hardware. We are asking $2500 OBO, ONLY serious offers and callers, please. No trades, no payments. Call to view & test drive!”

This ain’t no ’42 (as listed in the title to the Ad). I wish I could see those vin plates better. This sure looks like an original color. Dayville is a pretty remote town in the middle of Eastern Oregon. It’s a beautiful drive whether driving from the east or the west.

This appears in good shape.

HOG spotted this nice looking CJ-5, though the rear end is a little high.

UPDATE: This now lives on the East Coast. I got to examine it up close at the 2013 Bantam Festival. The work is excellent. It was bought for $9000. It has more of a surrey look to it now.
I used the IMCDb.org site to attempt to locate an image of the jeep to the right from a shot in the movies. You can see a DJ-3A from Blue Hawaii (not a very good shot). Or the same shot enhanced and cropped to the left. Here’s a link to a shot of the Nutty Professor’s DJ-3A.
This flat fender (the one on the right) falls into the ‘unusual jeep’ category. Apparently, it’s a movie star!
