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: This should have posted this morning, but the newest version of WordPress has a glitch that causes posts to randomly miss their scheduled appearance.
Despite Charter Communication’s claim of ‘Blazing Speeds’, last night it was more like tortoise speeds. It was so slow I couldn’t get their Internet Speed Test to work. So, I’d say that calls for the evening off. I’m sure everything will be working by tomorrow night.
These photos appeared in the February 1956 issue of Globe-trotter. I especially like the CJ-5 with the ice cream maker!
This brochure isn’t one I’ve seen often.
“Brochure. Size is 8.5″ x 5.5″ folded and opens to a nice large 17″ x 11″ to show the views in the listing and more on the back. Condition is Excellent.”
The seller lists this as being a Korean War era photo. Though the jeep appears to be an M-38, I doubt this is from the Korean War. The jeep shown has a license plate on the back.
“Nice old photo. Measures about 4 1/2″ by 3 1/4″. Good to very good condition with some wear – album paper/paste remnants on back.”

“1942 Ford GPW. New tires, new canvas top and seats. Rebuilt carburetor. 5 combat rims. Original riveted brass data plates – numbers match the frame. This was a running jeep that was cleaned, repaired as necessary, painted, and returned to the original condition when obtained. It has been converted to 12 volts. with an alternator. It is believed that all the parts are original except for the front bumper and horn (try to find a Sparton horn at a decent price!) and of course, the alternator. There are a lot of Ford marked parts – it is assumed that those who did repairs and replacements did not worry about using Ford marked parts in the past.”

Seller has a running CJ-2A (listed as a 1949), a CJ-3a with seized engine, and a 2A tub. Sounds like a good amount of stuff for the money.
“I am selling A good running 1949 CJ2A. I bought this as a fun summer toy to fix up and drive. Unfortunately I no longer have the time to finish the project. I got the little Willy’s running and driving well. Started in on the body work, and that is where it stopped.
What you will get with the 1949.
A second CJ2A tub. It is a little rough, but there is a lot of good metal.
A complete 1949 CJ3A. Very similar. It has the correct factory option for the under dash heater. Also it has a complete running gear (But the motor is seized)
A pair of factory seats (Needs to be recovered) but has the correct springs still in place.
A spare master cylinder New
New Parking Brake shoes
assorted gaskets
Complete set of soft top bows with door frames
It has installed a complete new exhaust, new aluminum radiator (the old one was rotted out), new fuel pump, new windshield, and a lot of little items.
I hate to see it go, but I would rather see it go to someone that has time to finish it in the near future.”

I can’t tell if there is more work needed or not, apart from the gas tank, but this could be a good price if it runs and drives.
