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 Make Offer.
I doubt there is any value here.

Thanks to Bill from Lime Street Carriage for forwarding this hilarious ad.
Herpa derp, everyone! I have a 1945 Willys for sale! Ran perfect when parked. May need brakes from sitting, but should fire right up! The transmission that’s in it works flawlessly! I have a cousin, who has a cousin-in-law, who says it shouldn’t take more than $500 to make it showroom condition! Never met him, but I trust him! Don’t mind the rust on the frame, it’s only on the surface! No problems!
Don’t ask me how many miles are on it, I included a picture of the odometer! Interior is a little rough, but nothing that can’t be fixed.
Overall, I’d give this Jeep a 9/10! Can’t beat that! I need your phone number, date of birth and social security numbers before I can give you a price, but seems reasonable to me!
Tired of these ads? Me, too. If your car is a POS, don’t sell it as a diamond in the rough. Sell it as an affordable POS. You’re not fooling anyone… but would you really want to? Every time you screw someone over, you’re making the world a little worse for your offspring, for your nieces/nephews and for the world in general.

I ran across this unusual rock and cactus garden. Note that it is a lefty CJ-2A. There seems to be some usable parts left on this old flattie.
UPDATE: Still Available.

This poor jeep. The rims look rare, but not sure they are worth much.
“1954 Willys Jeep for Parts. Rear ends are good. Tranny should good…has been sitting for a long time. Frame is good. There is also a windshield and a hood that goes with it that is not pictured. ”
UPDATE: I first published this in 2009. I thought it was worth an update, so I’ve added some better photos.
Note: Some of these photos are posted online as being at the Coolidge wreck when they are really from the nearby Million Dollar Point dump. I believe I have the photos under the correct locations, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
1) Wreck of the SS President Coolidge. Built in 1931 as a luxury liner, the SS President Coolidge was drafted into WWII service and painted gray. While navigating the islands of the Republic of Vanuatu in the Pacific during the war, the Coolidge hit a cluster of recently deployed American mines. The ship listed to the right as more than 5,000 troops were forced to abandon it, leaving behind guns, helmet, jeeps, tanks, rations, medical supplies — all of which sank with the ship in 70-to-240 feet of water about 100 yards from shore.
This jeep is entombed in hold #2 at a depth of 110 feet:
The Yacht Lorelei Blog features these photos from 2012:
2) Million Dollar Point is another area in the Republic of Vanuatu where jeeps and other equipment was dumped. Located just off the coast of Espirito Santo Island, the area is full of “jeeps, six-wheel drive trucks, bulldozers, semi-trailers, fork lifts, tractors, bound sheets of corrugated iron, unopened boxes of clothing, and cases of Coca-Cola….” dumped by American troops as a way of disposing of the items. Learn more here. Below are two photos of jeeps:

“Early Military ’41-’43 Willys Jeep. Make offer. No motor/trans. Good project Jeep. Any reasonable offer accepted.”
These poor jeeps have been sitting a while. In the rear cargo area of the jeep with wheels it looks like there might be some type of PTO or draw bar attachment. The jeep without wheels has a rear PTO.
“I have two Willys jeeps for sale . The jeep that has the motor and transmission parts scattered inside is a 1948 the other is a 1946 and has a title. The 48 also has a power takeoff attached ,the engagement lever and drive shaft seemed to be missing. The 46 jeep had the motor rebuilt the same year that I parking it, approximately 12 years ago. The transmission and motor both ran very well . The wiring burned up after putting an eight volt battery in it and just never got around to rewire it. The buyer will be responsible for removal, I will be glad to help.”

Now here’s a challenging project! Miguel Ward captured this 2011 photo in Bahia Bustamante, Argentina. I checked Google Maps, but couldn’t see it (45° 7′ 32.00″ S 66° 32′ 11.58″ W)

“Please be sure to click on the following URL to view all the pictures of this Jeep: 1945 Willys Jeep for saleYou are looking at a 1940s Willys Jeep that needs everything to be restored, but is mostly complete and would make a great project if you’re looking for one of these! What you see is what you get, and I do have an old 1945 title for it (hasn’t been registered in a very long time). It’s got a cool galvanized metal top that looks factory built (not just some cheesy home-made jobby) I think it’s a Sears and Roebuck. Engine is seized up, and vehicle is a total rusty project, but at $1250, it would make a cool, cheap yard ornament until you get around to fixing it up! Thanks for looking.”
