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 .
Colin forwarded this crazy thing. It is the same jeep Brian spotted in 2012. More pictures of this here.
Looks like it runs.

“Fairly rare 1951 Overland Willys Wagon for sale or possible trade. I drive this thing a few days a week but its time to make room in the driveway so looking to sell or possible trade for something of equal value and uniqueness. I acquired this wagon a few years ago and all the work was done by the previous owner who owned a mechanic shop. Has a strong running 283 with custom exhaust and lake pipes. Lowered a few inches for a cool looking stance, rides pretty smooth and has not failed me yet. All lights and brakes work fine, horn needs a relay. Tires are all in great condition with at least 70% tread left. Has custom double barrel shotgun shifter with what I believe to be a 4 speed automatic. Current with registration and I have pink in hand. Original black license plates. The pictures you see were taken about two to three weeks ago, not last year, and I didn’t water it down to make it look better – like most people do.
This one is different. Still need some work.

“1945 Willys CJ2A. First civilian modle after the war. The body and chassis are OEM. On the body the front fenders are cut to allow for steering and the rear wheel wells tubs are shortened to allow leg room. The body is channeled 5″. The windshield is stock on the bottom and about a foot removed from the top, the pivot glass works, and it’s plastic not glass.
The chassis is lengthened 18″ and a 75 pinto front suspension attached. The cross member is the original cut out of the donor car and welded in and all the rest is stock pinto.
The engine is a Ford 302, I think out of a 78 T-bird, unknown actual miles (I bought it used out of a 27 T sedan), Trans is a C4 with a shift kit. The rear axle is a Ford 9″ from a 62 Galaxy.(it needs a posi to do good burnouts) It does have a burnout valve under the dash.
Steering column is a 63 Pontiac tilt. The brake pedal & master, shifter, parking brake are from the donor car. After market cruise control.
I’ve put 4300 miles on it and have fixed a few things as they showed up, mostly beefing thing up.
It weighs in at 2000 pounds, the engine is stock with dual fours (mostly for looks) home made zoomie headers and it runs very well. I’ve had it to 110 and ran out of cahonies not power. It also has a more conventional exhaust system if it should get ticketed, see pix.
There’s a lot of other small things about the car, to much to cover it all here. If you have questions please ask. If you want to see something specific I’ll send pix of what ever you want. I have pix of most all steps in the build.
This is a Traditional Hot Rod, aka: Rat Rod, no body work, no bondo, rust holes, chipped paint (what there is) and it’s all in flat black
600 miles is the longest road trip I’ve made, it gets about 16 mpg and no issues. Cruise control helps.”
