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’s a great old postcard or brochure that Marc spotted on Flickr.

Scott has this good looking J2000 Gladiator for auction on eBay.
“Probably one of the cleanest original Gladiators you will find. I have had the original wheels and bumpers sandblasted and professionally painted to the original Glacier White that the truck still retains. The tailgate was also repainted. Most of its life it had a canopy on it with plywood on the bed floor keeping it clean and rust free. The engine is the original 327 Vigilante and has 122k miles on it and runs good, 4sp trans, power steering and add on power brakes from way back that work great! Interior is all original as well. It does have nice patina over the course of 45yrs! I have tried to show lots of pictures indicating it’s amazing original condition, all the chrome and emblems are near perfect, it has the optional center lights added, ever seen those before? I have the original pie plates. The truck was a one owner truck most of its life, I am the third owner and I have the original owners manual and warranty booklet it came with, also lots of maintenance records. I don’t think you could find a cleaner original Gladiator, I have never seen one anyway. No disappointments here to say the least!”
This seller has a A1-897 YS willys/jeep carb for sale. He’s asking $150.

It runs and drives. Engine isn’t stock.
“For sale is a 1942 Ford GPW World War II Jeep. No 88865. Clear MT title! It starts and runs excellent. It stops great. Steering is tight and goes straight down the road. Odometer says 29599 mi. It has a newer F head willys jeep engine that has a lot of power. That is why it has the hood scoop looking thing on the hood to clear the carb on the newer engine. It was rebuilt in 1970 and has only gone about 10,000 miles since. It has a rebuilt carb and fuel pump. New plugs and a fresh oil, filter, and antifreeze change. It does not have the original gas tank, it has one that someone mounted between the rear wheel wells. It runs and starts amazing! The transmission and transfer case shift excellent and the four wheel drive works great. The front end, rear end, trans, and transfer case have all been serviced with new oil. It does need new tires as they are cracked and in bad shape.
It has some typical rust in the floor as seen in the pix and also the sides by the foot well and storage compartment, but overall it is a pretty solid body. It has been repainted many times over the years, but you can still see the army green in spots and even the star on the hood. It also has some letters on the rear quarter panel that look like they spell “Jonny” or “Sonny” and also what looks like an army insignia like you would see on the side of a bomber or fighter plane, but I cannot tell what it is. It looks like a sun with a red fist holding an arrow. It was painted on the original army green color and with some work could probably be revealed. I do not know if it has it on the drivers side also as the paint is not flaking off as much as on the other side. You can also see part of the army numbers on the side of the hood. The seats are out of a 1969 Mustang. Don’t let the ugly paint fool you, this is a very nice old jeep.”

“Parting out a 53′ CJ3B. Jeep is mostly all original (including the original head lights) and relatively complete but the original F-Head engine has a bad rod and the body is toast. Oddly enough, the tail gate is reasonably nice without any extra holes in it or a major bow in the middle. It has a clean WI title with body tag… serial #453-GB2 15280. Optional equipment on the jeep is a PTO controller and a Konig full hard top. The hard top has the doors and is in great shape with exception to the rear door. It also has 15″ Kelsey Hays wheels.
Prices will be very reasonable and I will ship to anywhere via UPS ground, or UPS motor freight for heavy parts. Call Joe at 608-225-7074”

This may have a rear PTO.
“For Sale or possibly Trade.
1949 Willys (Jeep) CJ3a I purchased this years ago for a project and had it stored until about a week ago.
It ran with feeding fuel into the carb when stored, and the engine is still free. The tub is rough ( in my opinion) but complete. The fenders, grill, windshield frame, gas tank and tailgate are in great shape.Still has the tool box under the passenger seat.
It has a PTO on the tranfer case that is complete.
I have no registration for it, but both of the ID tags are still on the firewall, so I will prove a bill of sale only.
Delivery is an option depending on the selling price and delivery location.
Many other picture are available.
Located in the southtowns.
$650 or BO.”
