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 .

Here are two neat photos Charles sent yesterday.
Here’s a then and now photo. 
This photo was taken in Curacao Bay in 1954 of a jeep that was pulled out of the sand or dirt:
Here’s a rather inexpensive ride-on toy.

Not perfect, but may be a good entry GPW.
“945 WWII Jeep GPW
Almost all original 1945 Jeep GPW, this Jeep has all it’s extremely hard to find original drive train and it runs great and drives. The Jeep is in good shape for being 73 years old, I was in the process of restoring it to all original but the garage is getting too crowded with 6 Jeeps so I need to thin the herd out a little.
This Jeep is perfect for an all-out off the showroom floor restoration or the way I was going to do it where it is back to original but with some original patina so you’re not afraid to take it out and play with it.
It has a New reproduction fuel tank in it, New pinion seals, New paint, New hood blocks, New reproduction shipping plate, all New oil’s, New battery and New windshield catches.
It also has the original mounting in the floor/frame for the .30 cal machine gun mount.”
Looks like some value here.
“It ran the last time I drove it about 10 years ago. The motor is a Ford Mustang engine”

“1958 Jeep Willy-fair condition. 2000.00 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
This is a mix of parts.
“Time to sell my beloved project “Hatari”, I just can’t work on her anymore. What you are looking at is registered as a 1946 Willy’s Jeep, it is an early flat fender MJ body on what appears to be a later model (longer) frame probably from a 1955-1965 CJ or MJ? I have upgraded the brakes to 11″ in the front and 10″ in the back, she runs and drives. Does she have rust, you might ask? YES! which is why she’s strategically surrounded by a ‘beautifully’ crafted aluminum diamond plate to hold her together. Is she beautiful you may ask? Absolutely! She is painted in an safari theme zebra camoflauge, but perhaps your idea of beauty is different than mine 🙂 Does she still need some work? “Perhaps” 🙂 She runs and drives, I have a clear pink slip, but she is yet to be registered. Drivetrain is a 134 ‘F’ Head 4 cylinder motor and full four wheel drive is of course all operational, 3 speed manual transmission. Make an offer in cash $$ or perhaps we can negotiate a trade in part or full for either a twin axle trailer or a good pre-71 VW Standard Beetle.”
This is a project.

“so here it is guys im in the processes of buying a new jeep this week and am not desperate at all to sell this piece of art but would like some extra money for the new jeep build.
This willys is part fully restored with a fun twist of course.
UPDATE: Was $1400.
Runs and drives.
“1970 Jeep CJ5. 225 V6, 3-speed Trans, tow bar, spare tire rack, warn hubs, soft top, roll bar.
Runs and has new battery. Seats need to be reupholstered. Body needs some work. Good hunting vehicle or project vehicle. $1,400”
UPDATE: This appears to have sold. Was listed at $600.
“Just traded a 1948 bantam jeep trailer, but didn’t fit my needs. Descent shape, some rust in bed, pintle hitch, great tires, pulls great. Titled with perm plate. $600.”
It doesn’t run, but appears solid.
“1955 Willys $3,000 OBO
All of the original drive train is intact. The tub is in decent shape for the age with all the glass. Some one in the past put a body on it but according to the serial number it was not manufactured with one. The interior has some seats but thats about it. I put a battery in it and the fuel pump comes on but I cant figure out how to get the engine to turn over. Some one with a bit more mechanical know how can get it going without much work. It was last registered in 2006 and I assume that was the last time it ran. You will need a trailer to get it home so be prepared.
It will make a great trail rig or use it for parts.
I have the title and need to get it out of the garage (the wife is in full revolt about not parking in the garage)
Call or text any time.”

(11/17/2013) This has some unusual mods.
“This is a 1948 Willey’s Jeep, runs good (but does need new shocks, yes they had shocks back in 1948). Has been used as a hunting jeep. The four wheel drive does work good.

It’s Christmas time in Canada when Lawrence dresses up himself, his dogs and his automobiles to deliver Christmas presents. This year there’s a new addition to the group: a beautiful FC-150. The native red of the FC just seems perfect this time of year.
Leigh forwarded this photo of a jeep from the Gippsland Vehicle Collection in Maffra, Australia. It doesn’t appear to be 100% correct restoration, but certainly looks in great shape. Photobombing to the left appears to be a Jeepster Commando.
This collection of motor cars is changed two to three times a year to keep the museum interesting. So, there’s not guarantee this jeep will be there during your visit.
Marc found this interesting photo. The caption explains that a nurse is handing out a pill to help prevent colds. Anyone know what the pills might be?
The information reads: FATAL TO FLU — A pill a day keeps the flu away! That’s the theory behind a cold-prevention campaign now being carried on among workers at Willys-Overland Motors, where the use of special immunization tablets have reduce colds by 80 percent and checked absenteeism. Here, a plant nurse passes the tablets out among “Jeep” girls on the company’s assembly line.

This looks like a neat old toy.
“From warehouse find: super nice and now rare sturdy tinplate Fire Brigade Jeep with trailer.
The toy is completely made of thick tinplate, except for the figures, fire hose and ladders. It has a total length of 10½” (270 mm).
The toy was made by the small firm of Joyax of France, between 1953 and 1978.
The toy is in mint condition but has some minimal production traces.
It has a classic wire spring mechanism and in it comes in its absolutely stunning box. Please check the 4th picture where you can see that the manufacturer used recycled tin to produce these toys. The part of the text visible relates to a battery ;)”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
It’s part of a moving sale. No description provided. Looks like it’s in good shape.
“1949 Willys Old Coke Machine on Car from Coney Island last survivor”
UPDATE: Was $6500. **SOLD**
The price is for both. The CJ-2A has a MB/GPW body.
“Hi. I’m selling my 1946 jeep willys. Not running but complete. And a 1978 Jeep CJ5 that runs but needs minor body work and a Fuel tank. I am asking $6500 for the both but would rather trade for 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler. Must run as it will be my daily driver.”
The seller notes that though the body looks a little rough, it’s not all rusted out.
“For sale a 1948 Willys CJ2A NO TITLE engine spins over have not heard it run yet. Body is in fair to poor shape does have four original 16 inch wheels. Trans does not move from neutral.”
