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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
The seller calls this a CJ-2A, but I think this is more likely a GPW chassis.
“This 1945 CJ2A Willys Jeep frame/chassis is a complete running gear less engine. It comes with a Title and ID # CPW271063. As you can see in the pics, it has a tow bar for easy transport. Come on by and take look. I’m in the heart of old downtown Glendale.”
Joe found and forwarded this video showing a the restoration of a 1945 GPW. I am not certain whose jeep this is. This isn’t Joe’s video nor his jeep. If you want to contact the original creator of the film (or owner of the jeep), you may be able to do that through youtube.
Anyone ever come across these?

I don’t know how vintage this is, but it looks like it’s never been assembled.
“Winneco Palmer Plastics 1/35 US Army Willys Jeep. I had no idea Palmer Plastics did WWII military kits until this item crossed my desk. It’s complete and unstarted with all parts still sealed in the factory polybag. Decals (a bit age-yellowed) and instructions are both included.”

Sierra County, NM, once claimed to have more jeeps per capita then any other county. I don’t know if that fact is true, but it was claimed to be the case in a 1950s article. Ever wonder how Truth or Consequences, NM, got its name? Read about it here.

“I have a Fiberglass jeep body from Malotte that has never been used. Fiberglass is in great condition and is the race model so its very light. Jeep body is already pre-cut to be lengthened in the right areas, but you can just use the stock lengths as well if you don’t want to do that. Body has never been painted.
First $350 obo gets this unused race jeep body
This body costs over double that new”
This poor jeep.

This has no title, but it looks pretty good.
“1960 Willy’s Jeep for sale, it is a CJ-5 with an inline 4 Cylinder and three speed on the floor. 4-Wheel Drive works great, hub locks work. I’ve done a lot of work on the jeep but don’t have a place to drive it anymore. It needs to be out in the country. No Title, so it will make a great hunting / ranch vehicle. It’s worth more than i’m asking but have it discounted for the title situation. $2,500 pretty firm.
The jeep runs great, in the past three years i have replaced:
The battery, The fuel pump, The clutch, The brakes, The carburetor, The windshield, The wipers, Spark plugs
The only issues i run into:
You cant down shit to 1st gear. (timing issue in the gear box that only effects a down shift)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

Roberto forwarded several links to CJ-3Bs from Vietnam in the 1960s. Interestingly, they all had tool indents. I suspect these are made by Mahindra rather than Willys. Any thoughts?

James was driving today in Colorado and spotted this Ford GPA SEEP parked just off the road.
He writes, “I found this gem along side of the road today. I was on my way to pick up my 1947 cj2a. It turns out the owner is also an eWillys reader! It’s amazing that these cars are still being driven and not stuck in a museum. This made my day!”
This must be a British jeep! Steering wheel is on the “wrong” side.
