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 .

“1944 Jeep Willys MB for sale. This is going to be a great project Jeep for someone looking to restore a rare WWII era jeep. Considering its age, it is very complete. It does not run and the engine is out of it, but is included in price, already rebuilt! I was going to rebuild it, but I have new baby on the way and won’t be ale to devote the time and money it would require. I’m just trying to get back what I paid for everything. There is an extra Willys Jeep motor included, but not rebuilt.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** This was on Terry’s Jeep Farm.
Walter spotted this CJ-5. It looks pretty stock. This might make a good stock restoration if the rust is only at the surface.

Dan pointed me to the Miracle of America Museum, mentioning there was an old Ford A vehicle mounted to tracks. The museum is still run by Gil Mangels, who co-founded the museum in 1981 with his wife, who passed away in 2012. The museum is located 70 miles due north of Missoula. Looks like a fun place to visit.
After looking through the eclectic collection of items, I figured they might have a jeep or two. I found a M-38A1, a possible MB/GPW, and M-151.
Justin wrote a good story about his CJ-2A project and wanted to share it with readers. Having completed his first CJ-2A, now he wants another. I can’t blame him.

This is different.
“This willys jeep has an all alumium body which will never rust or corrod and since it is made out of alumium it is a lite ride. The body is on an s-10 sand blasted frame with a 96′ wheelbase.

(12/16/2012) Looks like a nice rig. Lots of detail pics. However, a variety of minor updates keep it from looking “like it was in 1948 from the factory”.

“I have a 1951 willies jeep it is the shortest jeep made. It has a Chevy 350 engine in it that was rebuilt not sure on the exact mileage but the miles are low It has a spool in the rear end The body is in fair shape given its age The previous own wanted to get rid of tail gate to give it a smoother look a used a lot of bondo so the bondo is chipping off It had the original trany and t- case behind the 350 motor and ended up cracking the housing So I found a 4 speed trany and a t- case for a Chevy 350 to put in it Just need to put it in have some drivelines made and give it a tune up and it will run I’m asking 3000 obo. This is a great project and dont think it will last long Also have half doors”
