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 .

Nick’s got these CJ-2A parts jeep for sale.
“This is a ran when parked 1948 CJ2A Willys Jeep… 30 years ago. My buddy and I got this in a package deal for a Jeep we’re restoring. It looks to be an old school doodlebug. I have a clear title in hand. Rims are ‘believed’ to be original 16” Kelsey Hayes, I’m no rim expert but a few of us think they are after comparing pictures. Also the bellhousing is either very early CJ or military, you can see how the linkage goes inside rather than the clutch fork sticking out like the later models. Feel free to call/text me any time of day and if I don’t answer I’ll get back shortly. We have forklifts to get it right on your trailer.”

Tom’s been working on the restoration of this CJ-3A APU. He’s wondering if anyone knows anything about the three-wheeled APUs that were auctioned in California about five years ago. He’s hoping to find some of the hard-to-find APU equipment.
Here are a few photos of the APUs sold a few years ago:
Here’s how he started, with a jeep he didn’t know was an APU. Since then he’s been learning more about them.
I don’t think I’ve published this one previously.

“I am selling my very rare fully custom Jeep CJ6. This is a CJ-5 but 20” extended from the factory. The only Reason I am selling is to liquidate some of my toys in order to buy a new GT500. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. I will help with shipping. This vehicle is very street friendly and has not been off road since I had it painted 6 months ago. I have put about 1,000 trouble free miles on it this year. This Jeep needs nothing and has a fresh coat of paint on the outside. This inside paint is in good shape so I did not repaint that. I have tons of pictures of bringing the jeep to a bare tub to paint. I will send to the new owner. Here are some details below: Continue reading

Lee’s shared some updated photos on his M-38. His goal has been to restore it back to stock. Though he’s got a great deal of stock jeep to use, as he disassembled it he discovered a few more problems than he’d planned. Despite some unexpected issues, he’s been working all summer since Ann and I visited he and his family last April in San Saba, Texas. He doesn’t have a great deal of time, between his job, farm, kids and wife, but he’s been making the most of it. He tells me he is almost done.
Here’s the jeep before disassembly:
The body:
Some body work completed.
The Frame:
Plenty of scrubbing needed.
First coat of paint.
Partial assembly
This photo that must have been posted on eBay at some point was shared on eBay.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $27,000.

It’s got a couple patches in the back of the body.
“Obviously, any 69 year old vehicle is a head-turner. This one does that and more. Your brain triggers, and suddenly your back in the armed forces or perhaps on your grandfathers farm. Or maybe your sitting in that sand pile with a toy jeep in one hand and GI Joe in the other.
I,ve owned this Willys for 4 years here in Massachusetts. I bought it in Georgia and had it shipped here. Its history starts from a Willys Jeep showroom in Chicago, to a farm outside the city. 1946 was the first year a civilian could purchase direct from a showroom, all before were strickly military vehicles. Available only thru military surplus outlets. From the Chicago farm it went to a “gentleman’s” farm in Georgia. This family used it for hunting deer and other animals for many years. Since bringing it here to Massachusetts, the first year, it was a daily driver to the coffee shop, then it sat as I was out of the country for 2 years. This past year, I’ve had the transmission, clutch and transfer case overhauled. I’m leaving again and want someone else to enjoy and love it as I’m not sure of when I may return.
Not shown in the pictures, but does come with it….side doors matching the roof and a “V” tow attachment for the front. Any normal pick-up can pull it with a normal trailer hitch.
Lots more to say, if your serious, email me your number for me to call or sit and write me what your concerns are.”
