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 .

“
Resent restoration to mostly original. Either one $6500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
I’ve seen worse for more money. This includes a PTO winch. Looks like a good buy from the image.
“Stock / 6 volt / flat head strait 6 engine / PTO winch / 16″ tires / body and glass in rough shape / need trailer to haul away”
It might make a good project.
“I am selling my ’63 CJ 3B because I was hoping to have it for a restoration project, but as you all know sometimes life gets in the way. I’ve owned it for 7 years and it has just sat, the engine has run in the past five years or so. It’s all factory. In the pictures the doors are off of it they way they were when I bought it and have been kept in my garage. The frame is solid, and the worst part of the body is the hood. It still retains the original firewall VIN plate and I have a clean, clear Maryland Title. This is a really great starting platform. I wish I could keep it. Looking for $2000. I am in Silver Spring, MD just outside of Washington, DC.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks like a great price. This has a rear PTO and is set up for a plow on the front.
“nice collectable Jeep in good shape….needs little to complete re-store…was built during the transition from Willy’s to Kaiser and has some rare features ( Hydrailic winch/ lift system for Myers snow plow or dozer blade, and a Ford pto system on rear) both factory and operational with shifting levers in floor.

Mike spotted this low mileage Jeep. I wonder if the mileage is accurate? hmmm. It sure looks like it would make a good restoration candidate.
“1953 willys army jeep 24 volt less then 6000 miles runs and drives. has been painted red. needs new paint and some body work but doesnt have rust. has all the black out lights that work. will trade for muscle car any condition dont be afraid to ask.

UPDATE: Back on eBay
(04/22/2010) Here’s a solid look Jeepster that hasn’t been restored yet.
“THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE 1950 WILLYS JEEPSTER FRESH OUT OF THE BARN……..I BOUGHT THIS JEEP ABOUT 35 YEARS AGO FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, WHICH MAKES ME THE SECOND OWNER…….THIS JEEPSTER WAS ORIGINALLY BOUGHT NEW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND DRIVEN TO UTAH IN THE 1960’S…….I PURCHASED IT AND HAVE HAD IT IN STORAGE EVER SINCE, WAITING FOR ME TO GET THE TIME TO RESTORE IT…….IT HAS ALWAYS RUN GREAT…..IT IS MECHANICALLY ALL ORIGINAL, WITH 4 CYLINDER OVER HEAD VALVE (F-HEAD) HURRICANE ENGINE, THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION, AND OVER DRIVE……THE JEEP WILL NEED A NEW BATTERY, FRESH FUEL, AND PROBABLY A TUNE UP, SINCE IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. WE ALSO REMOVED THE OLD GLAS BECAUSE IT WAS YELLOWING AND WE WANTED TO PUT NEW GLASS IN…..WE WEREN’T ABLE TO FINISH THAT PROJECT, SO IT WILL NEED SOME NEW GLASS….IT’S ALL FLAT GLASS, SO WON’T BE TOO EXPENSIVE. THE BODY ON THIS JEEP IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT, VERY SOLID, WITH NO RUST THROUGH, OTHER THAN A HOLE IN THE DIVER’S SIDE FLOOR BOARD, WHICH HAS BEEN PATCHED AT ONE TIME LONG AGO, AND WILL NEED TO BE PATCHED AGAIN. THIS CAR IS AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE FOR RESTORATION, SINCE IT IS VERY STRAIGHT AND MECHANICALLY ALL ORIGINAL. CLEAR TITLE……”
It looks nice and a good price.

This runs and the plow works. The body sounds bad, but the deal sounds like a good one.

UPDATE: Steve reports that this sold for $5600 with only two bids.
Jean-Sebastien spotted this unusual find.
“This is a Jeep FC 170 four wheel drive flat bed truck that has been made into a fire engine. This vehicle was originally used by the US forest service around Yosemite and later sold to a church camp just outside of the park. The vehicle was garaged and used by the church camp for insurance purposes. The vehicle is in extreemly good original condition. All equipment is stock except the windshield wiper motor which was changed to an electric model instead of the vacuum type. The vehcile runs strong and starts up promptly everytime. It has the 6 cylinder motor with a 3 speed manual transmission. Warren “free wheeling” hub caps to secure four wheel drive. The interior is in very good condition, as you can see by the pictures. The odometer shows 30,000 miles, but the speedometer cable broke so I can’t say what the actual mileage is. I would say not more than about 50,000 original miles. The fire apparatus has a 250 gallon tank with a 5 hp gas motor that both starts manually or with an electric push button starter. Pump works great and all seals seam to not leak. Vehicle comes with 200 feet of fire hose ( cotton single jacket), 150 of 1 1/2 and 50 ft of 1 inch. Two variable plastic nozzles with 1 1/2 fittings. There are two yellow helmets and a first aid kit. All gauges work (except the speedometer) and two new gauges were added for oil preasure and temperature. Body shows some signs on repair around the passenger door handle, but otherwise the vehicle is in good overall condition for the body. Vehicle runs fine and all mechanical parts work good. Brakes are in good condition as are tires, clutch and transmission. There is no slippage when shifting. This is a fairly rare vehicle and would be well suited for a ranch (for insurance purposes) or another church. Please e-mail any questions.”
UPDATE: Jonathan points out that this sold for less than $1400 ($1356.13). Someone got a solid deal!
These Jeep-A-Trenches don’t appear every day. I love this beat up old jeep 🙂
“1948 willys jeep [but not really sure]. It is a nice early CJ with a period [first series] jeep a trench attachment. I also am including a period willys jeep option snow plow. It came off my 47 CJ. I planned on selling only the trencher but have a offer to buy another jeep with plow so I am selling the whole package. The jeep tub has rust and the roof is in rough shape also, it all can be put back together. The jeep run 3 yrs ago and I had it firing & running with gas down the carb but the starter stopped working. This is a rare piece and wouldnt take much to get it working again. It dug trenches for water, electric and a drain line over 150′ within the last 5yrs. It has good tires and a towbar for short towing. bill of sale only. no papers. Buyer to pickup or I have a local guy who can deliver it for a fee. Payment within days of end of auction. Email me with any questions.”
It’s hard to tell much from the pics.
“Very Good condition, Newer body, no rust or dents. Many New Parts!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3100.
It looks pretty stock.
“This Flatfender Jeep originally came from California. It is driveable, but I consider it a work in progress/project jeep. I would not consider this vehicle a daily driver. I do have the California title. I bought it from the Tech Editor for JP Magazine. We are moving in two weeks.”
This looks in pretty good shape for the price.
“Don’t have time for this great truck. Was running but needs wiring harness replaced (have new harness (and manual) just needs to be installed). Won’t take much to get it running solid. Some rust but still sound.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
“1946 Jeep – was used for plowing snow in the past. All there but pretty rough.”

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/1728940720.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
The fix for the engine can’t be that complex.
“Red, low mileage, original drive train, engine, PTO, towbar, near new top, good body, 12 volt conversion. “As is” This jeep ran purrfectly until one day I had the hood up while it was running and was bragging to my neighbor how smooth it ran. I then closed the hood, it stopped running and I couldn’t get it started after that. I’m not a mechanic and haven’t a clue what it might be. I think this car would be have a NADA value of approximately $10,000.00 if it were running today. Please look at the pictures below and call me with any questions.”
This M-38 looks solidily rebuilt.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
There might be some value here. I suspect it can be snagged pretty cheaply.
“1950 WILLYS OVERLAND………..MOTOR WAS REBUILT YEARS AGO, YET THERE IS PROBABLY LESS THEN 5 K ON IT, AND SINCE THEN, IT HAS SAT FOR THE BETTER PART OF MAYBE 20 YEARS. YOU COULD PUT A “CJ” FIBERGLASS BODY ON IT AS OFFERED IN J.C. WHITNEY CATLOG ………………. I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER COMPLETE ENGINE ( 4 CYL ) FOR THIS JEEP, SEVERAL TIRE RIMS, AND AXLE HOUSINGS, LOTS OF OTHER WILLYS PARTS. MUST SEE TO APPRECIATE AND DECIDE WHAT YOU WOULD ACTUALLY WANT. I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE. THE JEEP HAS A BELT DRIVEN PUMP THAT DRIVES THE SNOW PLOW.”
UPDATE: Was $7000. **SOLD**
(04/29/2010) Here’s a beautiful CJ-2A. The seller would prefer to sell it locally.
“Mostly restored but some work still needed on steering (I have parts) and the brakes need some attention. I bought this a couple of years ago with the intent of completing restoration. I immediately developed some serious health issues, which is the reason for the sale. Would like to get somewhere around the $8500 I paid for it. I’m open to reasonable offers. This jeep runs like a new one and is drivable as it is. Included is a half top with doors from Beachwood Canvas. Everything works (yes, even the lights and gauges!) Too much to write about, if interested get in contact via email and I will give you my phone number. Please write “red jeep” in the subject box to hopefully avoid spam/scam. Local sale only.”
