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 .
Claus is looking for A Capstan Winch for his VEC CJ-2A. If you have one, comment below and I’ll connect you with him.

One runs and drives.
“I have three jeeps. One does run and I have been driving it around my property. It has the flathead, rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, it runs good and does not burn oil. The transmission works great and does not jump out of 2nd or 3rd. The t-case works fine. It needs body work and frame has some cracks and has been welded on. One of the other jeeps has the flathead and complete drivetrain. Engine turns over but I have not started it. The third jeep has no engine but is good for parts. I have one clear colorado title for one jeep.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
This could use a better restoration, but it appears solid.

“1945 WW2 Jeep willys MB or ford GPW airborne dump trailer. This was manufactured by Converto Manufacturing Inc. to be towed behind the WW2 jeeps. This trailer was assembled in 1945 and as shown by the picture has its original data tag. This trailer is not rotted out and the bed area has no holes. Several dents in the rail area as this was a working utility trailer for a family until I spotted it 2 weeks ago. The tailgate is intact but has moderate scale rust but no holes. There is one blackout light left on the rear.”

For several weeks we’ve been confused about this PTO. Brian wrote last night, “John from R&P 4WD finally figured out what it was. It is a very rare dana 20 front output PTO for cj5 built by Koenig. It is extremely heavy duty and very well built. This one looks to be in great shape, just dirty.”
Brian also has a model 100 winch. The PTO and winch would be $1400. He also has a recently rebuilt model 51j pto to go with the winch, for the guys with Dana 18 t case. Same price.”

This is a mix of parts.
“Here is GPW 7608. This is one of the very early and rare jeeps built by Ford but they did not have any frames so they had to put them on Wills MB frames. This jeep came from the factory in February or March 1942 having a Ford body on a Willys frame. This jeep is a very desirable jeep once restored and it will need a full restoration. It has Ford front seats, early axles, radiator, Ford GPW engine but missing the pistons, Ford GPW head, T-84 transmission case with no gears, Ford GPW transfer case and some data plates. The center nomenclature plate is missing but does exist in the collection of a very well known WWII Jeep supplier in Oregon and may become available. I will provide the name and details to the winning bidder. A photo is shown in the data base on the G503 web site. There is no title but I can obtain one if it is needed to be shipped overseas(for extra cost). I can haul this jeep to the port in Oakland for the cost of my gas. Shipping overseas is no problem at all and I have a great shipping company I can recommend.”
UPDATE: This sold for $1400 on eBay.

Merlin from Hanson Mechanical wrote a fun article about the original Banana Republic Stores and their jeeps. I had forgotten all about them.

Below are a couple of images from old ads I found here.
Charles wanted to share some pictures of his sharp 1952 CJ-3A from the Belgium Military. He’s added a few custom items such as the bezels. Looks great Charles!
Just look for the smile after Eric gets done driving. You can tell he is very pleased about saving this jeep.
He writes, “After several years of sitting and hard work behind a plow in West Virginia, I saved this Jeep from a fate worse than death. Now alleviated of it’s burden and with a rebuild carb, cleaned out fuel tank an fresh battery it now moves around as it should. It was great driving a CJ2A again after 30 years.”
You can see another ’46 he picked up that included a PTO and Lift, though it had no engine.

This fiberglass bodied jeep includes an overdrive. It hasn’t been touched in a while, but there appears to be value here.
“53 Willys Jeep. Project. Set up for small Chevy. 3 speed manual tranny. Dana 18 with Warn O/D. Fiberglass body. Stock Dana axles. Stock Willys frame. Has not ran in probably decades. Purchased by my late Father in the early 90’s, and put where it sits. Original Vin plate intact. Hasn’t been tagged since 1988. Definitely a project. Will NOT part out.
Was told the little Chevy in it, is a 327. But I have no way to confirm it. If interested, you would need to come look at it. Like I said, it’s a project. It’s being sold as is. Have not been able to find the title, but I am looking. It existed at one time. $1000 obo. The Vin alone is worth….”
