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 .

“1950 Willys CJ3A with 80’s Chevy Camaro 350 V8 and TH350 automatic transmission.
Good:
New Steel Body
Dual Exhaust
Optima Battery
Power Brakes
Upgraded 11″ Drums
Warn Overdrive

Winch
Jerry Can Holder
Rear Gate
Power Steering
New Interior

33″ Tires
Side Steps
Roll Bar
Good Paint
Floor and Cargo Mats
Clean Title
Good Registration
Bad:
Crack in rear right muffler makes a sound when letting off gas. It’s smog exempt. Fix at your own convenience.
Spare not full size.
Windshield wiper motors work, but do not move the arms. I suspect stripped gears. New wipers/motors/arms are $50 each.
Right mirror has some water inside of it and will need to be replaced. The round style mirrors are cheap for a set and will slide right into the holders.
There are a few small screw holes under the new top where the old style Bestop was installed. On the new one they moved the snaps. The benefit is that the new top will fold down like a convertible.”
This is interesting. This used to be an extended CJ-2A, but has been cut back down to a stock size. The rollcage is only $50, which is a great price.
“Flat fender jeep body. Has the general rust under the passenger seat and drivers side. It was a rare long bed that in the 50’s I road in. But between then and when I bought it someone cut it down to a regular CJ2A size. the cut is just stitiched and needs finishing. Overall its not a basket case but will be a good project. I also have a roll bar that is custom for a 2A for $50 that is sitting on it and a windshield that needs the inner piece and a new panel across the front for $50. There are side diamond plate for the foot rest and along the side for $50 and some other 2A and 3A parts. I also have a complete project jeep for $1300. Body needs some work but for its age is better than most. You buy the project I will throw in the body listed above for any part it may need. I have L head motors that will need rebuilding for $300.”

“Cherry 1947 willys CJ 2A; frame off restoration, bedliner underneath tub, 5000 miles on restoration/rebuild, new tires, wheels, full size spare and LED tail lights. Original running gear, L-head 4 cylinder flathead, wrapped in diamond plate, 12 volt system, aftermarket buckets and jump seats and full roll bar…this jeep is ready to go or rod it out and make it a rock crawler with an overdrive/underdrive. New starter, two new tops (full and binini–not currently on jeep). You will not find a nicer willys for the money! No rust, starts every time and gets lots of looks. Tow bar included. No tire kickers please. Rick in Bellingham 360-201-0682 ”

Located in El Monte, Ca, on Rosemead between 10 and 60 frwys in Los Angeles, the American Society of MIlitary History Museum is has been preserving vehicles since 1962 and is a California Non-Profit Educational Organization. The museum has 178 vehicles, including tanks, jeeps and more.
Brian shot these pics, with his father and son shown in the image below. He reports that the museum has some really cool military stuff and was a great place to visit. He also notes that the owner, Craig, could use volunteers to help restoring the vehicles. Thanks Brian!
