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 .

Ann and I took pictures of these in March during our trip through Western Colorado. That CJ-2A is a VEC with square bolt bow holders on the windshield.

I happened across this rare set of tracked jeeps made by O’Laughlin (a person or a company?), or it could just be one jeep with successive modifications. I only uncovered a few photos photos and very little information.How experiments on this related to the M-28/M-29 amphibious Weasel are not clear to me, but they appear to have been parallel projects given the Weasel research was begun in 1942.
I found this photo of the tracked jeep at a Cargo & Personnel Carrier site:
http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/UnitedStates/cargo-personnel/cargo-personnel.html
I found a thread on an argentine model site where someone constructed a look-a-like model.
http://kalkin.foros.ws/t12174/olaughlin-modified-jeep/
This could potentially be the same jeep as above, only it’s rear area has been altered. I can’t quite read the numbers on the hood in the top pic to know for sure. 
Finally, there’s a page about a tracked jeep at 42FordGPW, but the page never refers to either vehicle as a Modified vehicle. Perhaps someone can add to this info?
Paul spotted this photo at the “Just a Car Guy” website. Given at least some of these are Slat Grilles, I’d guess this was taken late 1941 or early 1942?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000

“1948 Willys CJ-2A Jeep for sale. Very nice condition. This Jeep was totally restored several years ago and the original flat-head engine was replaced with the later model and more desirable CJ-3B Hurricane engine that was produced from 1953-1964. At the time of the restoration everything was either rebuilt or replaced. Jeep has been driven very little since. 4×4 and everything works great. Needs nothing. Great for the farm, ranch or deer lease and cheaper than a 4wheeler. Soft top is not in the picture but is included. Lost title, Bill of Sale. Title can be obtained with a little leg work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

“I have for sale a 1942 Ford GPW (Jeep). It is all in pieces but there is a rolling chasis. This is a great project for someone looking for an early war jeep. Got from a friend of ours that found a bunch in various stages that he bought and we bought one from him. I can show you pictures of what his looks like now and his is worth close to $15,000. Any serious takes let me know. Would be possibly interested in trades of equal value let me know what you have. Always looking for firearms and other 4×4 projects.”

This trailer looks like a good price. I got curious about the number of Willys Overland trailers produced. After some searches, I learned that a contract for the first 10,000 trailers was given to Willys. A follow up contract for 5000 trailers was given to Bantam. Near the end of the war there were a variety of companies that produces a small number of trailers. This link shares that information: http://jeepdraw.com/Chucks_Trailers.html
“This is a World War II Willy utility trailer. It is extremely rugged and has been modified with ball hitch. Great for hunting, camping or hauling.”
