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 .

There were several mowers developed for the early jeep. Some mounted on the side and some in the rear. Here are the ones I have so far:
1. NEWTON MOWER: Built by H. G. & S. Manufacturing out of Wisconsin, this mower relied on the Monroe Lift for mounting. Skilled users could attach this mower in only one minute, according the brochure.
2. NEWGREN POWER MOWER: Made by Newgren Company out of Butler, Pennsylvania. It mounted on the rear. (Later, this was marketed as the ‘Jeep” Farm Mower)

“Rare
It Very good original condition
Original California truck
4×4
One ton
Four cylinder
Ready to go
This is not a show truck
I have purchased and rebuilt parts for restoring this truck”
Here’s a neat combo.
“Very rare 29 tooth warn overdrive unit with ultra rare adapter for Ramsey pto. Included is the Spicer 18 tranfercase (mostly complete with dual levers), Dana 20 transfercase (disassembled but mostly there), Warn 29 tooth overdrive unit, adapter to Ramsey pto winch, Ramsey pto winch, shafts, pillow bearing, Ramsey winch, cable and misc pieces. Note: I believe the transfercases are 26 tooth and that is why I didn’t finish project. Also these pieces have been sitting about 10 years in an uninsulated shop (surface rust is on most everything). These pieces were working when removed, but that 10 years ago. I didn’t notice any broken teeth but you need to inspect before buying. I believe almost everything is there, but sitting in shop for ten years I may have misplaced some things. Will not part, complete sale only. Price is firm. If you need more picks please email me and I will send them to you.”

Jonah’s selling his CJ-5.
“Up for sale is my 1970 CJ5 Renegade 1.
This is a great survivor with almost all the factory Renegade items still on the Jeep. There are many spots where you can still see the original “Winner Green” paint, most noticeably inside the tool box under the passenger seat.
Some of the more recognized Renegade items are: The two gauges left of the steering column, dual ballast resitors, factory dash pad, rear marker lights, and oil tank skid plate.
This Jeep runs, stops, steers, and shifts.
The original Buick 225 V6 has been upgraded with the Petronix ignition, new spark plugs and wires, new radiator hoses, water outlet, water pump, and thermostat.
Highly desirable Dana 44 flanged rear axle only available from 1970-1971

Mike shared this auction of a CJ-2A with a fiberglass body. In the background he spotted an FJ. It’s unclear if that is purchasable or not, but I was able to track down the gas station in Bogata. There’s also a pic at the bottom of this post.
“1948 willys cj2a jeep, has a fiberglass tub, so no rust through on body, chevy 350 v8 engine, was last cranked about 6 months ago, vehicle has been sitting in my shop for several years, needs a new ignition switch wired up, gas tanks hooked back up an some brake work, currently they are not working.. like I say the jeep has been sitting for several years an may need some tinkering here an there to get back on the road again.. the motor ran strong in it, has long tube headers, mild cam, 4 barrel edelbrock carb, dual point setup, it would be a great project for someone, I just don’t have the time for as many projects I have, so thinning the heard a little, have clean title 1948 in hand for the jeep, buyer responsible for pickup or shipping,”
Listed as 1941, this looks like a CJ-3A.
“Selling my old Willy’s Jeep. It’s an old military jeep. We have done some motor and trans work to it. It has 33″ BFG tires.

It’s not clear to me, but if appears the seller has invested $65,000 into this rig?
“PROJECT TRUCK! Go to Boise Craigslist Collectibles and enter Nissan Patrol. All Pics and huge write up on that page. Dont call me until you read all of it please. Its long but worth it.

Not sure how much value is here.
“This jeep is a great restoration project for someone.as you can see from the pictures she in need of some TLC but well worth the work when it’s done. It has a clean clear title and vin number on the frame. I bought it to restore but need the room now. I am asking 750 /OBO. The title and vin tag are wworth the asking price.”

“1947 Willies CJ2A Hardtop Jeep
Vin on Frame
No Title
Hardtop
Ready for Restoration Project”
This June 14, 1945 photo shares the news that some kids in Florida received toy jeeps in exchange for selling the most war bonds.
Glenn shared this ad. It could be a good price given the new body.
“Well life has pitched me a curve ball and I need to sell my jeep. It is a 1952 CJ3a. It has been rebuilt from the ground up. The frame was sand blasted and hot dip galvanized. The engine, tranny, transfer, and both axles were rebuilt. The Carb was rebuilt by R. Pacholski (jeep carb wizard). It has a repro tub on it and is in excellent mechanical shape. Last summer it past a Maine State Inspection, which means it can drive over the road without any restrictions. The only thing it needs is paint. I had not painted it yet because I wanted to put some miles on it before paint in case I had to do more mechanical work. I am looking to get $7000.00. I have close to 12K into it.’

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
This has a drip tray commonly seen on 3As. I wonder how high the VIN is on this.
“Original drive train, new winch (never used), spare window & other parts. ”
This may be a good price. I can’t tell if the driver’s floor was replaced or has a liner on it.
