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 .
This might be a good find. Pics are poor.

This needs a little work and no longer has the top, but still may be a good price. Thanks to Jonathan for pointing it out.
“1965 Jeep CJ5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV. Rare model, less than 2,000 made. All original. Not restored. Original paint, original seats, original hubcaps, etc. I believe even the spare tire is original. No rust to speak of, some minor surface rust where the paint has worn off. 32,000 miles. Needs new tires, and one wheel brake cylinder leaks. Excellent condition for a 50 year old Jeep. Very easy restoration project, or just go over it mechanically (brakes, tune up, lube, etc.) and enjoy the patina look as is.
4 cylinder engine, three speed manual transmission with column shift (part of the Tuxedo Park package).
The photos were taken about 5 years ago. It has been sitting in the garage ever since so it is dirty from dust, and it no longer has the top, which finally fell apart from age.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $2500.
Running when parked thirty years ago.
“This 1945 Military Jeep was registered and running daily when it was parked in this shed in 1985. When checked a few days ago the engine turned over but no attempt was made to start it. Original tires and wheels have been replaced. Plow frame was mounted by a previous owner. We did not use it for plowing here.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Appears worth a look. Is it missing windshield glass?

“1946 Willys Jeep with hard top & Title. First production post WWII available to retail sale.
CJ2A civilian jeep w/1965 4 cylinder F head. (Willys F 134 hurricane inline 4-cylinder)
This particular Jeep is a good runner, just no time to continue the project, (have another vehicle project I want to concentrate on). CLEAN TITLE, odometer reads 70,356 Has been used personally for about 200 miles to my hunting stand, since owned; never much road driving.
Not interested in selling it to be stripped for parts, it is for a good home only!
Two things are needed: an electric starter bendix (the pinion gear), and a new carburetor (or new shaft seals/bushings on the current one). The electric starter bendix jumped off when the retainer clip let loose. The engine starts, however it has erratic idling due to the leaky carburetor shaft bushings.
The Engine is equipped with the early style point & condenser, and works solid. All original, other than the newer 1965 engine, shock/springs and scoop hood. The original hood comes with the package. ”
