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 .

“Dropping price for quick sale….this project is 70-80% complete. I am prepared to move it out of state, but will sell to a serious buyer who wants a cool old Willys that can be used as a toy not a parade prop.
Serious buyers only. Cash is king.
Most recent photos first
1947 CJ2A, I bought this after two owners tore it down and did a little work…literally a basket case. I want to finish it, but will be moving out of state.. I don’t have to sell it, but might for the right price and a good home. Otherwise I will just tow it when I move.
Just finished some repairs to the under side of the tub and coated it in Chassis Saver over the weekend (see photo of tub upside down and coated black..3rd phot from the end). So the price has been bumped up. May get the tub back on the frame soon and then get the inside of tub and exterior ready for Monstaliner.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
Parts from a 3B and a 2A.
“I have a 53 or so high hood that is titled as a 47 CJ2A. Many parts all very solid. Very little rust. 53 tub has a painless wiring harness, chevy tilt column, rino lined in and under all parts, full cage, toyota brake booster clutch master and pedals, and an Allstate jeep top with doors.(never been installed on this jeep) I do not want to part out. Must take all. ”
UPDATE: A reader noted this was for sale in Houston on eBay as of Apr 18th. Hard to believe someone shipped this to California for resale??
It’s rough. The seat design makes me think this used to be in Texas.

Straight from our Jakarta bureau comes this video about a ‘Jiffy jeep’ team that could use a little more practice. However, what they lack in speed, they make up for in enthusiasm. The event was part of the Parjo 2015. If you are up on your Indonesian language skills, then you can read the story in full.
If you’ve never seen a Jiffy Jeep quickly disassembled and reassembled, then you’ll enjoy this link: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/quick-disassemble/
This article appeared in The Lima News, out of Lima, Ohio. Buy a bond and get a ride in a Jeep. That sounds like it was worth the price! I don’t see a year listed on the article.
This 1943 photo from the Denver Public Library’s digital collection shows that these elementary school children were busy. They helped purchase 4 jeeps! There are several other photos from the same event.

Mark listed this low mileage Commando at sellajeep.com.
“This beautiful 1967 Jeepster is owned by Just Jeepsters, the leading experts on Jeepsters. You will not find a better specimen of a Jeepster that is more original than this Jeepster. We have owned over 100 Jeepsters and this is the lowest mileage (6,073 miles) most original Jeepster we have ever seen. This Jeepster was originally owned by a Jeep dealership (Hoffer Morton) in Wisconsin, the dealership shutdown in 1980. The owner of the Jeep dealership lived next door to his business, thus the reason for the low millage. The Jeepster was sold last year by the widow when the dealership owner passed away. We have the entire history on this Jeepster and the documentation showing the mileage. This Jeepster has original date coded marked parts, even the original date coded bias ply tires are still on this Jeepster. Not only is this Jeepster the rare convertible, it has a white and blue color combination that we have only seen on one other Jeepster. This Jeepster is a museum piece and a true example of Jeep history. With the Just Jeepsters experience comes the guarantee of knowing you are dealing with experts on Jeepsters, we only specialize in Jeepsters and preserving their history. We provide our customers comfort of knowing exactly what kind of Jeepster they are getting. As far as condition, this Jeepster was well preserved in a heated garage by the original owner. The paint and interior are in excellent shape and original. It has a dealer installed pin stripe. Minor maintenance was performed once receiving but the original date coded parts have been kept. You will not find a more original Jeepster that has been guaranteed by a Jeepster business that only specializes in Jeepsters for over 25 years.”

Nice looking restoration (though a few upgrades). Great ventilating windshield.
“Complete frame-off restoration in 2012 using an abundance of stainless hardware and body sealing. Resto work completed by experienced professionals back to original specifications except for upgrade to 1966 Dauntless V-6 engine with electronic ignition for reliable starting and operation. The CJ-6 is identical to the CJ-5 but has an additional 20″ in length added to the wheel base. This makes a HUGE improvement in handling stability and ride. Includes optional split windshield. No top or doors, perfect for FL driving.”

“Restored 1947 Willys CJ2A for sale or trade. This is one of the coolest Jeeps you will see. It gets lots of attention everywhere it goes. Less than 500 miles since completion. The Flat copper pearl paint is amazing. This Jeep has a small block Chevy 327. Too many custom features to list. Working original PTO driven winch. New rims and tires, all new wiring, new gauges, and much more. No top or doors. What a great summer toy. I never though I would sell it but going in a different direction. Would like $13k, have much more into it, willing to trade but not interested in projects at this time. What do you have?”
