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 .

(04/14/2013) This appears to have potential. It runs and drives.
“This is a 1946 Willys Jeep model CJ2A Universal. The body is very solid although it has had some patches done some time in its life. Drive it as is, or would make an easy restoration to factory original. It runs great and all the running gear works great. It does, however need brake work, electrical work, radiator service and some other misc. stuff. Currently registered in my name with transferable ownership available immediately. This Jeep is NOT ready for the road just yet, but it wouldn’t take much.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This has the APU hood. Unclear if this was a converted APU flattie or if the hood was added later to this flattie. Only half hour left in the auction:
Joe wrote, “This was the parade entry for the Ft. Miles (DE) Historical Association, 261st Coast Artillery. All the old war horses with military veterans aboard were well received by the thousands in attendance along the parade route.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Listed as a Wyandotte Wooden Jeep on the eBay ad, a reader points out in the comments it is actually a “U.S. Army Miniature Jeep No. 1262” manufactured by the Wood Commodities Corp. New York City U.S.A.
It’s not in perfect shape, but it’s a neat little wooden jeep.
“NICE WYANDOTTE WORLD WAR II WOODEN JEEP

THIS IS A VERY HARD TO FIND WYANDOTTE TOY AND IS WONDERFUL FOR BEING SOME 70 YEARS OLD”
This 1945 notes that the lessons learned from creating US Royal tires for the military are reflected in the company’s new U.S. Royal DeLuxe Tires.
“Here is a hard to find original advertisement for The United States Rubber Company. This great old WWII era Ad was removed from a vintage 1945 Magazine.
Page is about 10 inches by 12 1/2 inches with the actual ad perhaps a bit smaller. Condition of this 68+ year old Ad is excellent.”

“1951 Willys Jeep – AS IS
The drive shaft is not currently installed because the jeep was towed from NC in the 1990’s and it has been stored in a barn since then. The engine block appears to be frozen but I have not had a mechanic look into the engine at all. All parts appear to be original parts and in fair shape. There are a lot of rust holes in the body and the top has a few minor tears but the zippers work. Windshield is not cracked. Jeep can be towed.
Email me with questions or make an offer.”
This is a project.

sI’m not sure what a “Jeep Master” is? The seller has some history on this jeep’s travel to Japan and back.
“For sale is 1942 Jeep Master. Given that it was built in 1942; it is an army Jeep. Jeep was manufactured by Willy’s overland motor company. Truck is a 3/4 ton with improved F-head engine (still have original engine and will be included with price) with 16, 171 miles although an estimated 90k miles are on the body. Truck is 4WD with a floating axle. Great story on this car. Traveled to Japan where it had its transfer case replaced in 1952. (have receipts) From there it rested at a boy scout camp in Arizona. After this a friend purchased in in 1960 and sold to me in 1968 where I have owned it since. Truck runs well but needs a restoration man to achieve her full potential. Asking $9,450. Willing to hear offers. Delivery possible”

UPDATE: I thought this was in Belgium, but Charles correct me (thanks!).
Charles shared these pictures from the Overloon Liberty Park Museum in Netherlands. The park contains over 150 vehicles and looks to consist of several different museums. You can see the museum’s location on this map. Many more photos of the museum are viewable through google images.
