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 .

Vincent spotted this stock CJ-5. It has good restoration potential.
“For sale 1963 cj 5 2 owner jeep. This Jeep has a factory hardtop with the full size doors, so the windows are much bigger and also roll all the way up and down.

Bob sent me an email a few days ago about this jeep he spotted in Endee, New Mexico. The town of Endee is located near the border of New Mexico and Texas on near I-40. The folks on Yelp really like this place.
He wrote, “The wife and I made a weekend trip to Amarillo for a steak at the Country Barn. We spotted this really clean CJ2A at the free car museum at Russell’s truck stop in Endee, NM.”
Here’s another picture I found on Trip Advisor:
In 1950 Provincetown added this CJ-3A and pumper trailer to their equipment.
The caption under this page reads: Provincetown Engine No.6 – c.1950, Willy’s Jeep with Maxim 500 gpm trailer served as Engine 6 from c.1950 into the 1970’s. The pump trailer may have been made by Maxim, as they made many during WWII, probably 500 gpm.

This ad shows a CJ-2A with what I think is a trailered foam system. Or, am I wrong?

UPDATE: **WARNING** There are only two jeeps pictured in the book!!! Buyer beware.
“This auction is for a 1943 book filled with cartoons about WWII. It is titled “Jeeps and Jests” by Bruce Bairnsfather. The book has cartoons on every page– about 60 pages in all. The condition of the book is good. The binding is solid and there are no rips. The main flaw is that there are some faint spots on the covers and scattered in the book.”

If you are a Hogan’s Heroes fan and a jeep fan, then this is for you.
“For your consideration is a vintage Hogan’s Heroes’ WWII Jeep model kit. The model kit was made be MPC in 1968. It appears that the previous owner started this kit, but never completed it. Because it has been started, I cannot guarantee the completeness of the kit.”

The tub isn’t original, but the restoration work looks great.
“This Jeep has recently been completed after a long restoration. The aftermarket replacement body is approx. 25 years old-brand unknown, but fits well, The fenders, hood, windshield frame, and tailgate are OE pieces. The excellent original frame was blasted and painted, the body is painted top and bottom. The entire driveline has been rebuilt professionally (engine, trans, transfer case, axles, and overdrive unit). This Jeep runs and drives as new. The steering is straight and true, the geartrain is quiet, and there are no squeeks or rattles. The only mileage put on it was for setup and testing. It has a reman warn overdrive unit with an un-used PTO attached. I encourage bidders to come see this Willys before bidding, it is an excellent original-type unmodified Jeep.
Here is a list of new and remanufactured parts that have built the Jeep.
New: Belts and hoses, voltage regulator, steering linkage, gauges, tailgate chains, all new braking system, axles and bearings, all 5 Denman 6.00-16 tires with tubes, seat foam and upholstery, Walck’s wiring harness, fuel pump, tail light and reflector, rearview mirror, wiper motor and arm, air filter assembly, brake and fuel lines, and clutch.

I assembled it with mostly stainless hardware. It’s a pretty cool old jeep, It is slow like you would expect from 1940’s technology but it is a fun ride. I want to trade it for a decent Harley big twin bike.I value it at $10,000 I would trade for a really good shovelhead or evo bike. A bobber or chopper style bike would flip my switch. might consider other cool (a rusty pickup or ford taurus etc is not cool) trades if it makes sense. whatcha got?”
This combo looks solid.

The seller indicates this is an experimental Mighty Mite? I don’t know enough about them.
“This auction is for a very rare M422E1, the general consensus is that only 10 were lengthened by 6” and became the basis for the M422A1. This was referenced by the August 1960 issue of Leatherneck. The article stated that “10 Mighty Mites are being prepared at the Detroit factory for specialized work. “They will have a six-inch longer wheelbase,” Capt. McPherson said, and will be able to handle specific communication gear.” This M422E1 was equipped with a MRC-83 radio (Serial number X1) as indicated by data plate. Also has very rare and fully functioning early tail-gate with built in seats. Jeep starts and runs well, see video on youtube by going to:
