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 $2750.
If this runs, it might be worth a look. there appears to be only surface rust.

It looks like this is an older restoration.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
(12/23/2012) It’s a pretty pricey project. The paperwork is missing, too.
“This is a 1949 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A. 4 Cylinder Flat, Engine was rebuild in 2002 (never driven since). The jeep is a nearly completed project with many original parts.
The following work has been done and up-front, I am a certified welder, metal fabrication journeyman / Blacksmith from Germany.
– Rebuild floor with proper tube- frame
– Rebuild bed with proper tube- frame
– Rebuild foldable Windshield, new glass and seals
– Built a 20 gal gas tank that goes across the entire jeep with barriers inside to avoid slushing. (toolbox from passenger seat was beyond repairs)
– Built Seat-mounts and purchased new Seats
– Custom Heavy Duty Bumpers
– Re-arched all four Leaf-springs
– Replaced all four shocks
– Lots of body work
New seats with heavy duty mounts. Custom bumpers front and back. Rebuild steering gear box. (still a huge play) Reinforcement and accentuation with diamond plate.
Repaired and reinforced frame where needed. Rebuild all four leaf springs to proper hight and arch. 4 new shocks, new wiper and rear lights. I have 4 fairly new rims that would replace the ones currently on the Jeep.
The Engine would start fine if a mechanic would spend an hour with it, since I have never touched it in 8 years. I also do not have paperwork for the Jeep anymore. I would be more than happy to pay the DMV fee for re-registration once the Jeep is sold.
I am selling this nice project Jeep, simply because I bought that prior to having Children and a House. I simply do not want to spend the time on something I would rarely use.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
With some paint this might be a nice rig.
“This is an awesome little survivor.

The body has been stretched in the middle.

“This 1945 Bantam Jeep Trailer, model T100, has been restored to its original design, which includes the pintle hook tongue. It has the older style military tires on it, which are in okay condition. I’ve been in the process of restoring it and therefore have removed the paint to the bare metal. It was my intention to paint it od green. Well, my garage is full, and the trailer is going to have to go. I have already purchased primer for the trailer, but have not put it on.”

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?

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.
