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 .

“Land Rover 2a 1963. Right Hand Drive. 2.4 liter petrol motor with 4 speed. Completely restored 3 years ago from bare chassis. Engine, gearbox and transfer rebuild. Less than 1000 miles driven since restoration. Capstan winch and Toro overdrive.
Vehicle started its life as a cab chassis and delivered to the Australian Government. It has had a total of 3 owners
The gearbox was completely pulled apart and checked. New bearings and bushes, new gears where needed, and new synchro’s. The main shaft was professionally set up due to the need to get the shimming right.
The engine was pulled down to a bare block, new bearings, and bushes etc. new rings. The bore was checked to make sure it had not been bored out and new pistons used. The head was taken to a shop and new hardened valve seats put in to allow regular unleaded to be used. The head was set up by them with new springs. Car starts up first time every time and runs great.
Clean Texas title and registration”

“1961 Willys CJ3B jeep
condition: good
cylinders: 4 cylinders
drive: 4wd
fuel: gas
title status: clean
transmission: manual
type: offroad
The axles with 4.27 ratio for road speed, transmission, and transfer case with 1 1/4 intermediate shaft are out of a 1971 CJ5. This jeep can run at 50 MPH and does not have the typical “whine” of the older jeeps, it is very reliable, has turn signals, dual brake reservoir upgrade with 10″ brakes, and a 6500 lb winch. The engine is very good with 40 lb oil pressure cruising speed and 10 idling and has an engine oil cooler. Tires are in good condition, good seats, it has some rust on the sides but the floors and hat channels are very solid. This is a very reliable jeep. Price is firm. I do not need help selling.”

Almost completely original.
Perfect project. Starts runs-

I’ve always wanted one… husband sees the project going with new body etc. I want it with it’s blemished.
Need to make room… so it’s gotta go”
Craig shared this ad. It runs, but isn’t road worthy.
“Runs and drives. Flat 6. 3 speed manual trans. 4×4. Twin stick tcase. Very little rust. The odometer shows 89,000 miles. All original. .Its not road ready. But it is running and driving. Brakes are sticky from sitting. It could use a tune up (plugs, wires, points and oil change). Tires have cracking due to age. Leaks some oil from the fuel pump on the passenger side of the block. But it is complete and mostly original. Wouldnt take much to fully restore.”

“1944 Willys MB WII Jeep project. My brother and I bought this to restore, but we found a different jeep later on which we want to concentrate on instead, and he has since moved to Hawaii. Frame tag has a serial number of MB 324912, which puts it in the 1944 year. Willys MB left toe board gusset has a number of 46344. Willys MB tub toolbox features round style lock depressions and plain style lid. Appears that somewhere a later style “Willys” script hood and windshield frame was added? Spare dash and cowl included to replace cutout dash. Engine is not original to jeep, running condition unknown, newer looking carb. Tub and frame are really solid, but tub has a fair amount of filler, so I assume it needs to be have the metal worked out to be nice. Have not done anything to this jeep since we bought it, just trying to recoup some of our money. Priced right.”

1. This one was on eBay. It also appeared in the March 27, 1944, issue of the News-Journal out of Mansfield, Ohio.
“1944- U.S. Coast Guardsmen demonstrate new “Invader” jeep, which can carry 10 men and travel up to 60 miles an hour. The Invader is made by sawing a standard Jeep in half and adding three feet to the middle. Photo measures approx. 7″ x 9″”
2. UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. This photo sold in early 2015. It was taken 3/17/44
Here’s a great shot of the Coast Guard of Invader Jeep. It was stretched three feet to accommodate more people. The text “The Coast Guard Invader” is just visible along the side. Here’s an example of one at a museum in New Jersey.
“944- At a Coastguard Station on the Atlantic Coast, U.S. Coast Guardsmen demonstrate new “Invader” jeep, carrying 10 men and traveling up to 60 miles an hour over sand.”
===========
Below is more info about the Coast Guard Invader.
===========
The photo of the stuck jeep shown below is meant to demonstrate why the Coast Guard created the “Invader Jeep”. Designed to carry 10 people, the caption explains why it will navigate sand better.
Here’s an example of the “Invader Jeep” from the G503 page (see more here). Compare the below pic to the restored “Invader” at the New Jersey Museum.
Looks good.
