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 .
One of the updates in the May newsletter from the Bantam Festival folks is that there will be more food. Since I like food, I have to say I’m all in favor of that!

Rob forwarded me the jeep below. It’s an odd melding of a CJ-2A and a Wagon. I’d love to get a closer look to see how various problems were solved.
This jeep is one of several jeeps in different conditions being auctioned, though nothing is in amazing condition. Tools and other vehicles will also be auctioned, including a deuce and a half that looks to me (not being an expert) in very good condition.
The auction takes place on June 16th, 2012, at a place tbd. You can learn more about the auction by Fenbert Auction Services and see the other vehicles at here.
Here’s the oddball CJ-2A/Panel Wagon hybrid:

I’m guessing this doesn’t have the stock motor? This looks solid though.

“Willys jeep 1952 FLAT FENDER came from the chilliwack museam a few years ago, runs great”

The seller seems to want this to be a 1941, but the official GPW serial numbers begin in January of 1942.

It runs. And stops, too. This appears to have a L head if I’m not mistaken.
“For sale: 1955 Willys CJ3. RUNS!!!! 4X4,TRANS,BRAKES,HIGH RANGE AND LOW RANGE ALL WORK GREAT!”
This needs work, but looks to have good potential for a modified truck.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000. The new pics show the column shift much better.
Mike noted that this is a column shift. He suggests this is a VEC CJ-2A between #14000 and #38000.
(10/10/2010) This sports a fiberglass body.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
It runs and drives. Who needs brakes?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
The front clip includes some CJ-3A Parts. The front crossmember suggests this might be a GPW rather than a MB.
“This is a 1943 Willys MB Jeep. It does not run but is all there. This would make a good restoration project. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500
Looks solid.
