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 .

It’s a project.
“I purchase a 1952 CJ3A Jeep that I have started rebuilding, but personnel issues have put me in a position that I really need to sell it. This Jeep has had work done to it long before I got it, so it is not in it’s original condition. The engine is a F-134 not an L-134 and the transmission is out of a 1953, so I assume that the engine and tranny are both out of a 1953. I drove the Jeep before I bought it, and then took the tub off to start reworking it. The engine runs great, it has close to 105 PSI on all 4 cylinders. I had the tranny and transfer case completely rebuilt by T&B Transmission. They put in all new parts, no cobbeling 2 old transmission together to make one work. I’ve put in new brakes all the way around, new shocks, all new brake lines, and rebuilt all the wheel cylinders and the master brake cylinder. I picked up a 2 inch brake conversion kit for it and a roll bar. What I’m asking is way below what I’ve got invested. I also have the shop manual and parts manual for it. If someone has a 4 wheeler that they would like to trade, I would consider that, even if I have to put some money with the Jeep for a good one, or I would take a good crossbow or maybe a firearm in trade for the Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
The back has been cut, but there’s still some value.
“Got a few parts from a old willys jeep, (military I believe) 40s to early 50s, flat fender style. Look at the pics and let me know what you may need. windshield may be 1960-1969 m38a1 I was told. Or could be off military jeep ambulance with non removable hartop? Prices are negotionable.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It has a MB/GPW body. There’s some parts value. It’s a project. It’s very easy to climb underneath.

(10/28/2013) This is probably a DJ-3A body that’s been transferred to a 4wd platform.

My GI-Joe gun never went “BAM!”.
Marc found this unusual Willys export truck with extra carrying capacity. I thought it was a refrigeration unit of some kind, but the side reads “Pocket Testament Leage”. Maybe it is a variant of the Sprecksell body (see brochure in post below).
“Vintage 1948 Real Picture Post Card of two Chinese men from the Pocket Testament League posing with a Willys Jeep Panel truck or van. The condition is good with some loss to the front…you still get the idea. Great addition to any collection.”

It looks like this matches the standard design layout of the truck nicely.
I’ve never seen an original version of this press photo from February 6, 1941. Great photo! The use of the term “Might Midget” rather than jeep or blitz buggy is notable.
“This is an original press photo. Dept- US Army Service Corps, Credit – ACME & NEAPhoto measures 9 x 7inches. Photo is dated 02-6-1941.”

UPDATE: Blaine forwarded the video for the Mini-Beep:
Struck-Kit offers what they call a Mini-Beep Kit, which you can use to build mini jeep-like vehicles. You can even build an amphibious version.

I guess there’s a reason no one has wanted to bid $.99 for this . . .
“Excellent condition. Large logo on the front chest. Adult XL.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This isn’t perfect, but it has a great vintage feel with the old top and posse tag. There are several Douglas Counties in different states, but I’m guessing this was from Nevada?

(02/15/2014) The seller has spent quite a bit of money on it so far. The Warn summer hubs look good.
“HERE IS MY 1948 100% RUST FREE WILLYS CJ2A AND 7 TEAR COMPLETE MECHANICAL REBUILD PROJECT THAT I COMPLETED THIS PAST WEEK AND JUST GETTING A FEW MILES ON IT NOW….ORIGINALLY SOLD IN CALIFORNIA TO A PROMINENT CALIFORNIA INDUSTRIALIST AT THE TIME, THIS CJ2A HAS LIVED INDOORS IN THE DRY CALIFORNIA DESERT ALL OF IT’S LIFE UNTIL I WAS TOLD OF IT’S AVAILABILITY 6 YEARS AGO.
