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 .
Roberto forwarded a link about a book published by Wings and Wheels out of the Czech Republic called “MA Jeeps in Detail”. It looks like a good book. 496 Czech Korunas is approx $25 US.

Here’s a rare plastic jeep (at least I’ve never seen one). It includes a rough box.
“For Auction is a HP, Vehicle, made by California Molders Inc. ,that I found at a local estate. It is still in the original box; but, the box is in poor condition. It is as follows:
The New Civilian Jeep”-5.5″-in working order-jeep windshield folds down-the tiny pin, of the tailgate hinge, is broken; but,the tailgate will stay closed-marked: “CM 120″.”

Here’s an ad for Florida Grapejuice that includes a jeep.
“Here is a hard to find WWII era advertisement for the Florida Citrus Commission. This great Print Ad was removed from a vintage 1944 Magazine.
Page is about 9 3/4 inches by 13 inches with the actual ad perhaps a bit smaller. Condition of this 68+ year old Ad is excellent.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“1948 CJ-2A Restored in early 1990 by Willys of Milwaukee Wis. The vehicle is a driver quality and not a show vehicle. It has new tires, brakes, shocks and springs all around. It has a 12V. electrical system. The rest of the vehicle is original. It runs good and is a lot of fun to drive. I used it for an airport car for the past 5 years and have given up flying so I no longer need my toy. This car gets tons of looks and always gets comments and brings back lots of memories. The drive train is solid but like any vehicle that is 64 ears old it does have some minor drips, not really leaks. I have 4 extra wheel rims that are included and a canvas top that came with the car when I bought it. I am taking a $4,000 loss on this car from my investment. Buyer must make arrangements for shipping, I will assist in any way I can to make it as easy for the buyer as I can. The vehicle is available for inspection and I can store it for up to 6 months if necessary.”
This includes a trailer and scooter.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Brett spotted this one. It is supposed to have military axles. It might have a military body, too. It’s worth a look. It’s got a Kelly hardtop.
“This jeep will run with a new distributor. I have one- just no time to put it in. Has the military axles, and is fairly clean.”
This seller has a truck and flatfender for sale.

It needs some work.
“Up for sale or trade is a 1946 CJ-2A Willys Jeep. It needs a new fuel pump and some other work,(seats, tires, windshield, few dents, couple of minor rust spots) but it is in surprisingly good shape for its age. It’s definitely not ready to drive home though-will need a trailer or tow. Everything has been kept original(engine, tranny, etc) The engine runs great, but since the fuel pump is out, I have to hand spray gas into the carb to show. Fully restored this Jeep is worth a LOT of money. I’m moving and can no longer keep it in a garage.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000

As promised, I’ve scanned and posted a 1943. I have updated the earlier post with the scans.
I received the June 19, 1943, issue of Liberty Magazine today. The magazine was published in Toronto, Canada from 1924 – 1950. My issue includes an article written by Willys Overland’s President at the time Joseph W. Frazer and titled “The Amazing Blitz Buggy”.
Having read the article, I’m still surprised he claimed the official name of the vehicle was “General Purpose Car”. You can see that claim in the highlighted portion of the article. That explain why the term “General Purpose” has been used in numerous historical descriptions about the jeep.

This has already hit $316.99! I think building a look-alike real-scale of this would be a neat project.
“VINTAGE 1963 TONKA NO. 516 JEEP RUNABOUT WITH BOAT AND ORIGINAL BOX. THERE IS A COUPLE BLEMISHES IN THE PLASTIC ON THE WINDSHIELD ON THE BOAT.

UPDATE: **SOLD** This doesn’t run, but looks solid.
“The “Forgotten Jeep.” The FJ-3 was a compact delivery van manufactured by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep from 1961 to 1965. This has the Borg-Warner 3 speed automatic transmission, which probably needs work, but can be used again. The motor is bad. This does not run at this time. My husband has been storing it for several years since purchasing it in California. He hasn’t had time to work on this, so it is looking for a new home. We have most of the parts that came with it, except for maybe a light lens. We also have the front bumper and wipers, but they are not shown in the photos. This will need to be hauled on a trailer. This could be a great restoration project.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500 last august.
(08/21/2012) How about that front bumper!
“This auction is for a 1943 Ford GPW, NOT a Willys MB. This vehicle has been CHANGED to appear as a UTV. Not much is stock on this little jeep. It has a custom rack on the back, extra fuel tank in the back, new seats, Ford Falcon dash(?), and a V6. The engine runs very strong. See this video for footage of it running. The jeep is really quite cool. The only real work it needs is a broken left shock bracket. That’s it.
If you want to see the jeep in action go to youtube and type in “Bad ford GPW”. It should pull up a video titled “bad ford gpw in price, utah”. Watch it.
