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: Ad deleted. This same jeep was spotted on the Baltimore Craigslist, so proceed with caution.
Seems like a “too good of price deal” …
“1947 Jeep Willys ! This Jeep was fully restored about 8 years ago and has only been driven 6 miles since”
That will go fast !
Same picture in Baltimore Facebook marketplace
Thanks Paul. I’ve updated the post with a recommendation that buyers proceed carefully.

The facebook ad is now gone. When I looked at the map in the ad this morning, I realized that the buildings in the ad don’t exist in that area of Portland.
Its a BS add, was listed in el paso when you use FB messenger it immediately responds by asking you to contact seller through an email address. Its been reported to FB. Those hangers dont exist here also.
If its too good to be true….
it is currently listed in Springfield, MO and Texarkana. AR. definite scam
The ad link still works. Must have been my laptop having an issue.
Definite scam!
It just popped up in NY and MD on FB.
That jeep really moves!
Thanks for all the help guys. I’ve marked this a scam.

I posted this under the wrong listing the first time.
I thought this one looked familiar! Back in 2018. http://www.ewillys.com/2018/08/17/1947-cj-2a-florence-sc-2053-scam/
If you want to check ewillys “scam list” you can type “scam ” in the upper right search bar. The red CJ5 Clem is talking about shows up.
Blaine: Thanks!
Clem: Thanks, I’ll see what I can find.
