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 .

It’s a project.
“1946 CJ2A for sale.
Bought it several years ago and completely dismantled it with the intention of restoring it but never got around to it. Sadly, I have come to the realization that I probably will never complete the project so, I’m selling it. As shown in the pictures, most major components are included. Frame, tub, fenders, grill, windshield frame and hood are in very good condition. Includes all major components with the exception of the following: Driver and passenger seats were ugly retrofits so they were discarded. Steering wheel and gauges were badly cracked/weathered so they were discarded. Wheels were not CJ2A specific so they were discarded.
I do not know the condition of the engine block and I do not believe it is the original block, however, it is a “Go Devil” L Head engine.
Asking $2,500.”

Jack found this CJ-8 project.
“ffered reluctlantly is one of my preferred projects a 1982 unadulterated Jeep Scrambler cj8, unfortunately my lungs no longer agree with restoration projects. As much as I love other classics there definately is a “Jeep Thing” which runs through ones veins even Enzo Ferrari gave the Jeep honorable mention. This Jeep Scrambler is definately a basket case which can be a good thing if you know how to restore these but it is all here plus and extra period correct running motor. Please note EXTRA motor as the original [in pieces] is there.
The interior is in excellent shape no rips tears dents or paint, the top a bit faded but also in good shape. Floors are rusted, exterior body good for this state but some rust, frame some rust. Engine in pieces but spare engine comnes with for parts or drop in while you rebuild the other. The pricey scramblers ones 30,000 and up appear to be the unadulterated one as you would expect and I have seen nothing but these going up as less than 25000 were made. Well this scrambler has NOT been lifted, stretched, widened, chopped, had a chevy v8 dropped in [nor any other motor for that fact] made into a rock crawler a mud bogger or anything other than a JEEP SCRAMBLER that is why I bought it.”

I am a professional mechanic and have owned and serviced vintage jeeps since 1965, when I got my first Cj2a. I have been bombing around my property and the neighborhood for a week and fixing everything that comes up. Now it is road or trail ready. I have 2 other vintage jeeps already so I will sell this one. I have a truck and trailer and can deliver it for you at low cost as I am about 100 miles from Colorado Springs. Email me, Fred, to give me a phone number and set up a time to come see it, or ask questions. I will call or text. Or we can email through craigslist, but if you are serious, we should probably talk.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
Cool trailer with some practical extras.
“I built this Willy’s truck bed trailer for my business as a multi-purpose trailer. I hate to see it go, but my business has outgrown her. It has the rare 8′ thriftside (step side) bed, painted white, sitting on the truck frame. There’s a trailer axle underneath it and the lug nut pattern is 5″ on 5.5″ just like the classic jeep pattern. It has new shocks as well- stock hubcaps included (even the spare tire in the factory location). The WO stamped tailgate is virtually flawless and a rare find, especially in this condition.
To top it off (pun intended), I have a vintage 1958 Canopy – camper shell mated to it. It was made by a local Spokane-based carriage company that went out of business in the late 1980’s (see pic of name plate for reference). It is also painted white, but with silver accents. Then I added a lumber rack for hauling 2×4’s, sheet metal and other materials (12′ overall length, 4’3” wide inside edge to inside edge so there’s plenty of room).
