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 .
Runs and drives.
“This Jeep is in great original condition, unmolested complete and ready for restoring to perfect condition. It has a rebuilt flathead motor that runs excellent, locking hubs and two new tires. It also has two spare motors for parts. It comes with a tow bar ready for transport.”

This looks to be a CJ-2A chassis with a M-38 body and a MB/GPW windshield. That’s my best guess.

If this were closer, I’d snap it up in a heartbeat.
“Old Sku wench. 8000 pound wench.Its a Bellview or a early warn. This is a power in only.The mounting bracket not exact fit but with some new holes and your mad skills it would be mounted up before lunch! Your buddy gets stuck in the ditch, you have 8000 A pound wench on your macho boy truck. Just hook up and pull yourself in with him.”
Both are projects. Looks like the 3A includes a half top.
“CJ2 and Wagon, one price, or negotiate separately. Both complete, and both titled. Both at restoration project start stage.”
http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/4714627946.html
Seller has listed this at $100, but that might just be a random figure. It’s a mix of GPW and CJ-2A parts.
“’43(?) Ford GPW parting out. This project is just going to be to big for me. Bought it as a CJ2A but have just found out that it is a Ford GPW. Frame serial number was ground off for an engine support. Have tub (very ruff shape), frame and axels (JC2A not PGW axels). Looking at cutting it up and taking to the scrapers. So let me know if you need anything off of it.”

The April 1956 Willys News contains the story below about a Willys Truck that was transformed, using a purpose-built body, into a motor home.
Roberto’s developing these cards. He writes, “These cards have drawings of several jeep models: Size: 15cms. x 12 cms. (5,30″ x . 4,30″). They will be for sale soon.” Contact Roberto through his website: http://www.robertoflores.com.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Last year one of these was sold in segments. I bought one of those segments and I’ve seen some of the others. It’s a rare, pretty interesting book.
“This Product Merchandising Manual was made by Willys Motors Inc and Willys-Overland Export Corporation. This Has a Dated Price List 1955. The Original Binder is in OK Condition ,I Will Never Say Perfect.
I Noticed a Few Sections Missing ,,IE Wrecker , PTO Equipment , Sprayers ,Maybe Those Sections Went To Different Dealers.”
Here’s a neat vintage pin. No idea how old it is. Anyone know?
