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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
A right hand drive truck? Here’s a rare jeep spotted by Dan.
“1961 Willys Pickup right hand drive spring over two wheel drive 350 V 8 with automatic very little rust bed is excellent shape original patina and original interior”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000
‘I have for sale a beautifully restored World War II original Army jeep. This is the real thing! Not a civilian version but an actual war production jeep! It is a GPW made by Ford on a contract during the war using the Willys design.
This jeep needs nothing but a driver. I’ve owned it for 6 years now and enjoyed ever minute of it. The ONLY reason I’m letting it go is because I need the money for another project that I’ve found.
This jeep has everything! It has a new canvas top hot summer days. It has a new canvas windshield cover for blackout operations, along with new canvas headlight and mirror covers for blackout operations. The blackout light do work. This jeep has all of the accessories: fire extinguisher, oil can, first aid kit, shovel, axe, gas can, water can, rifle rack, and tow rope. The tires are so new they even still have most of the rubber nipples on them!
I also have a 37mm anti tank cannon axle that I was going to build a replica of and tow behind the jeep for display. These are very hard to find because most of them were cut up after the war. This axle is complete from hub to hub and only had couple of brackets cut off of it during the demilitarizing process from the government. I also have 2 wiring harnesses to go with the axle that were used to clamp the tail lights onto the barrel of the cannon during transport.
If you buy the jeep I will add in the axle and wiring harnesses with clamps and tail lights at no additional charge. Other wise I will sell the axle for $700 alone with the harnesses.
I d have a free and clear title for it in NC.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900

Like Lays Potato Chips, Mike just couldn’t stop with one. He recently picked up the yellowish CJ-2A on the left off of eWillys.
Mike wrotes, “I just finished the shop about a month ago. The picture is a little dark but I had to wait for the last one,(Jeep) to come home. A grandson was out checking his game camera with “His Willy”, I do love to see the grandkids drop by and ask to take a jeep out, they all seem to have their favorites. All ‘46’s except the one ’47, it was the city of Nixa Mo fire engine in its last life.”

This photo shows Brazilian’s rounding up Italians during WWII.
Anyone recognize the woman in this pin-up photo? I don’t know her.
Marc found another set of Everglade photos. This time there are multiple CJ-2As with a push-bumper setup. Here’s the previous set of Everglade photos. This seller also has some photos of early swamp buggies, too.
“As described in the title and shown in the scans below, this is a set of three original snapshot photos that were taken around 1950 with diagnostics being the “Kodak Velox Paper” watermarks on the back and in comparison to other dated photos from the same estate. The area is the Florida Everglades somewhere in the vicinity of the Collier and Dade County lines. We don’t know who the uniformed men or the civilians are. The photos are in bright and clean condition though they have corner clipping, tape residue, photo paper curl and even some creasing. They each measure approx. 3.25″ x 4.5″.”

UPDATE: Glenn mentioned a photo, along with this Al-Toy post from 2012. So, I’ve added Glenn’s comment and the photo to which he refers.
Glenn wrote, “All the Overland Heavy Hitters are here. Cast Iron Charlie Sorensen, came to Willys to escape Henry’s Henchmen, Ward Canaday, last of the old bankrupt Depression crew. I don’t remember Mr. Paris, but Colin and I shared Mr. Bell in the photo of the Al-Toy above.”
I’ve seen this photo, but not the included caption.
“This is an original press photo. GH BellPhoto measures 10.25 x 8inches. Photo is dated 09-27-1945.”

For Sale: One of a Kind 1947 Willy’s WWII Military Jeep (CJ-2A)
This Jeep has been carefully rebuilt from the ground up over 3 years by my father, a retired certified ASEA mechanic. Starting from a sandblasted frame, new-off-shelf (N.O.S) parts were used whenever possible. Every piece has been carefully rebuilt and reassembled – you won’t find a cleaner, or more authentic rebuild of a 1947 Willy’s. Lots of fun to take off-road, or cruise around town with the windshield down. See below for details on each component. Thanks!

The pics are fuzzy, but this might be pretty solid.
