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 .

This is a project. Note the combat rims.
“I have a 1943 Ford GPW Jeep. Just like a Willys MB but built by Ford. Original with all its correct Ford stamped parts. Correct seats, handles, brackets everything. Way too much to list. Has 5 restored Combat wheels with new tires included. Boxes and boxes of parts and spares. Numbers matching frame and data plate. Non matching but correct GPW motor currently apart for rebuild. Has later willys motor too. Decent body with a little rust and a hole cut for a 2a gas tank. Have correct gas tank now. Lots of parts have been collected for this restoration. Good frame. Rolling chassis with body still mounted. Nearly $2000 spent on wheels and tires already, just to give you an idea this in not a pile of junk.”

“all original 46 willys jeep. in really good shape for the age.

I have a brand new solex carb to go with it, spare tire carrier, extra set of wheels, and soft top. the soft top isn’t in great condition but it will keep you dry.

“Working Jeep

Coast Guard Super-Jeep at the National Guard Militia Museum in New Jersey.
Posted at bangshift (though I couldn’t find this original link), referenced by Jalopnik, linked to by Kaiser Willys, and forwarded by Colin, here is a great video of a coast guard “super jeep” in action.
NEWS ARTICLES:
1) From the May 06, 1944, Perth Mirror in Australia:
TRAVELS 60 MPH OVER SANDY BEACHES
At a Coastguard Station on the Atlantic Coast, U.S. Coast Guards men recently demonstrated a new super-jeep, carrying 10 men and traveling up to 60 miles an hour over sand. Officials said the super-jeep was developed to meet special problems of Coast Guard shore patrols. Chassis of a regulation jeep was halved and steel shafts inserted to add one yard to its wheelbace. Seats for 10 were installed and specially designed wheels employed to permit travel over any kind of beach.
2) Volume 70 of the U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings discusses the results of the Coast Guard Jeep. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the whole document. I do have this:
As a basis for comparison, the regular Army jeep tried to follow the super-jeep over the same course, but foundered in the deep sand. The super-jeep was developed in the Coast Guard transportation office to meet the special demand that branch of services has for a vehicle capable of moving through sand . . .

I spotted these pictures at Dieselpunks, though the pictures appear to originate from a Russian site. The grenade launchers were designed by the NKEP (Narodnyy Komissariat Elektricheskoy Promyshlennosti – state commissariat for electrical engineering) to be flameless and quiet.
Go to the dieselpunks website to learn more.

(04/08/2013) Peg is selling this Jeepster. The car runs, but needs a new top and the brakes need work. It appears to have a six cylinder.

No title, but it runs.
“I am selling a 1954 willys jeep that I currently use on my deer camp. This is a great all terrain vehicle and runs well. Recently I have noticed there is a leak in the transfer case so that does have to be fixed on the jeep. I am asking 1400 OBO. I only have a bill of sale not the title. It will run if you want to put it on a trailer. Only thing it needs is the transfer case needs to be resealed. I will meet in either Graham or Jacksboro to deliver the jeep. Please call if you have any questions about the jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
