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 .

“Project that never quite got done… Zero-time engine but has been sitting for over 10 years and has never been started. Suspect good condition. Fresh ground cam and crank, milled block and head surfaces, new bearing/seals/oil pump, 0.060-over cylinders, new pistons/rings, valve job, etc. Have all engine appliances (external oil ‘filter’, airbox, generator/regulator, skid plates, carb). Carb and distributor would need attention. 6V system. Believe all body/chassis parts are there. Previous owner stated rebuilt tranny and transfer case. Based on his character this is likely true but not confirmed. Rolling chassis with eng/tran/case and axles installed. Sand-blasted and painted frame, new shackles, brake lines, bolts, bearings, brakes, aftermarket shocks, u-joints, pretty much most of the chassis consumables replaced. Body fundamentally rough but spent quite a bit of time with heat and hammer repairing holes and making panels straight. Body would be functional and visually appealing, but never show product. Body is not bolted to chassis. Original 16″ wheels with dead tires. Clear title in my name. Cannot be driven or towed, would need to be trailered.”
This had a coil fire at some point.
“I’m selling my 1950 Willy’s Overland Wagon. The car is complete and all original. Original flat 6 engine, trans, drive shaft, rear end and suspension. The interior is also all original and painted red like the outside. We are currently using the Wagon as storage so the inside is full of junk. Sorry, no pictures of the inside. It has 72243 miles on the odometer. I used to drive the Wagon around all the time before I parked it about 4 years ago. I used to attend many car shows and it always attracted attention.
The only reason I stopped driving the Wagon was because the coil caught on fire about 4 years ago. After that I parked it and it’s been sitting around. This is an easy fix. That is the only issue with the car. I plan on getting the car running soon, but I have way too many project and I must let some of them go”

This may be worth a look.
“1957 Willy’s Jeep
*No title because of age*
Manual – 3 on the tree
Engine – AMC V8, most likely 327ci
Bought this Jeep with the intent of working on it and restoring it. I’ve had it almost a year and haven’t touched it and it’s taking up space. The transmission makes some noise in first, but reverse, second, and third are all good. The V8 under the hood runs strong and has a lot of pick up to it. Headlights and taillights work. I also have the complete hard top for it along with doors. Hardtop and doors are in great condition with only a little surface rust. As for the tub, it has some holes in the floors and could use some work. Tires and rims are in good condition. Front bumper is beefed up and could easily hold a plow. Seats have minor tears in them, nothing major. Windshield would need to be replaced if the goal is to drive this on the street, has some pretty big cracks on the passenger side.”

For some reason the seller is listing this as a 1947 CJ-2A. Maybe it has a repro body?

Here is a pretty good shape, straight body jeep. It has a 4 cylinder engine that runs, 3 speed transmission and model 18 transfer case. the huge winch on the front is a PTO style. It has a back seat, nice tail gate, roll bar, and a very rare dual fuel tank set up under the front seats. How many of those have you seen?

“I am selling my CJ2 A project Jeep. This Jeep came from California and is all original. I tore it down and started restoration. It has a Buick 212 V6 that was installed at a dealer in ’62. I had the engine professionally rebuilt from crank to carb. This engine is bored out to a 223 with all new parts. I have put new leaf springs, brake lines, and painted the frame. I have everything to put it back together but the time. I have a spare front axle. This jeep has the original exterior screen for the radiator and the original winch. Tub is totally rust free including the tool box under the passenger seat.”

This article was published in the January 1958 issue of Willys News.
Tracy believes these parts were from a 1920s Willys vehicle, but isn’t sure. She’s hoping to get them to someone who could use them. She’s tried contacting the Willys Knight Registry, but so far hasn’t gotten any response.
I like the maze for the jeep on the inside. More jeep-like than a jeep.

Seller lists this as a 1945/1946, but the grille suggests it is later.
“1945/46 Cj2A Jeep Willys, was a California car for most of its life and has very little surface rust. Reliable enough to drive everyday if you wanted to, starts and runs every time. Needs TLC as expected from an old vehicle. Fun to drive and a great project for anyone with a little mechanical know how. I would love to keep it but its time for the next project.
email or text is the best way to reach me, all reasonable offers will be considered.
$6200 OBO”
