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 .
Not sure if the seller means $10,000 or put $10 as a placeholder for bids.

This appear solid. The seller believes this has a SN of 12325, but that would make this a 1946.

“1947 CJ2A with steel Half Cab. Great restore project. It’s all there”
This was in a fire.
“Nice little Willys that was restored one point but was caught in a mild barn fire. Frame is great as well as the drivetrain and body is good but needs some attention in spots. The fire burnt the electrical, broke the glass and scorched the paint. I was going to keep it and fix the components to make it drive again and then not do anything to the body except clear coat the scorched paint. I’ve owned three of this year Willys and love them to drive and work on…super simple, open top 4×4 that draws attention anywhere! Comes with a bill of sale..no title, sorry. I will be listing this on eBay as well and taking it to the dog party if it hasn’t sold by then;)
Open to offers but I’ve got more than the asking price into it so no low ballers please!”

This is a project.
“1955 willys jeep extra set of axles newer motor,trans,transfer case. Also have extra buick v-6. lots of parts. 1800.00 for everything.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1000. This may have potential.
(12/18/2012) “I was told when i bought it that it was a 1946. I don’t have a title for it. It was a project that was never intended to be on road but could be if you wanted to get a new title for it. I believe it has a Chevy transmission and shortened drive shafts. I never even started working on it from the time I purchased it but will do my best to answer any questions you might have. Comes with a Chevy 305 engine out of an 80’s full size van (no engine installed). It seems to have a lift and some heavier suspension on it. The price is firm but I will take 100 less each week until the price is down to 1000. If no one buys it by that time I will keep it.”

I just ran across this article about the 1964 Jeep Derby on my computer. It’s pretty interesting. I have several other Jeep Derby articles in magazines that I still need to scan.
UPDATE: Was on eBay
This is cool. Was the branding added or did U-Haul really make these?

Craig found these two pics from a 1964 issue of Jeep News.
Guy provided additional information:
“The top picture with the caption underneath “MOUNTAINS IN COLORADO….” would have been taken on the east side of the Garden Of The Gods in Colorado Springs. The shot is looking west. Appears it could have been made from the present site of the Garden Of The Gods Visitor and Nature Center. See this Google Map link: http://goo.gl/maps/alpDj
The area to the west and north of the Garden Of The Gods is where the devastating Waldo Canyon wildfire swept into Colorado Springs last summer.
The Garden Of The Gods is a spectacular sight. Hiking is allowed, but no jeeping.

After seeing the photo from Bob, Buz forwarded this photo.
Buz writes, “Here is a photo from White Owl Parts Co. which started out as a Willys Dealership after the war. It’s still there and if you look carefully over their shelves of parts you can still find NOS Willys parts. It’s located in Kinston, NC. They are the nicest people in the world, might be worth a visit if you ever get to this part of the country. The original photo is still on the wall in their office.”
This is ready to assemble according to the seller.

Lots of of parts between all three of these.
“I have 3 jeeps for sale, all are pretty complete, the green one rolls over and will run, the other ones are locked up, green one is restorable, other 2 are a little rough and are probably best for parts, all have the flat 4 motor. just have too many projects and not enough time, asking $2250 for all, dont realy want to mess with parting out, may separate the jeeps and sell individually, Have titles for the 47 and 48, not sure of year on multicolor one, also may consider a trade.”
