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 .
The seller will throw in a second body.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,900
(04/24/2011) This has some interesting mods, including the unusual approach to mounting the gauges. I wonder if those are custom headers. They appear to have an unusual slope (compared to the ones I’ve seen).

(09/13/2011) This appears to have three data plates, so I’m wondering if this is a ’46 titled or sold as a ’47.

Yesterday we drove, through rain, winds, and fog, from North Platte, Ne, to Springfield, Il, where we spent the night. Today we got up to more gray skies and winds. Fortunately, our purpose there was to spend time in the Lincoln Memorial Museum, so we didn’t have to worry about the weather. However, we found a different storm inside the museum: classes of young teenagers running, talking and noisily exploring the museum. Some were paying attention to the things they saw, others weren’t. Our favorite quote of the day came from a teenage girl who thought the re-enactment of the Lincoln’s showing in the Capitol following his assassination had a coffin containing the body of Washington rather than Lincoln. Ann and I looked at each other rolled our eyes and walked onward.
However, apart from the noise, the museum itself was creative and interesting. The hall of voices was particularly interesting. The exhibit was designed to show how many differing voices Lincoln faced when deciding how to deal with the Emancipation issue.
Tonight we will head for Ann’s great aunt’s house.
Below is the Lincoln Museum and Lincoln Library.
That Lincoln gets all the women ….
I admit I don’t pay too much attention to the new jeeps, so I was surprised as Bob to hear about the ‘Willys Edition’ Wrangler. I figured others might not have known about it either. You can learn more about them here.
Here is one of them for sale: http://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/2667511424.html
Roberto Flores, who has shared a variety of illustrations with eWillys readers, has published a non jeep book. The name of the book is “Have You Ever Wondered Why Spiders Yawn?”
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/97482
Roberto took a video of the canvas he created. It is now being shipped to South Carolina. You can see how he illustrated it here.

Glenn spotted this one. The flattie was being parted out, but only the frame and a few other parts are left. The body parts have been sold. I thought it was unusual enough that i would post it anyway. It appears to be part DJ and part CJ.
http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/2674242713.html
Unclear if it runs and drives.
“still original parts on vehicle, Forward control please contact 719-486-1184”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800
“1963 CJ3B — 99% original.
A highly desirable and restorable flat-fender high hood classic.
Runs good, body and frame are in great condition.
I’ve owned it for almost two years and my restoration contribution has been:
Replaced the fuel and temp gauge, new radiator, new bearings and field windings in the starter, new voltage regulator, new front wheel cylinders and shoes, new universal joints, and emergency brake cable. It’s a great machine, but a disc issue in my back is preventing me from driving it, so it’s for sale!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Lots of parts here.
“CJ2A Jeeps for sale. Two were running when parked with the third purchased as just a parts Jeep. I have clear titles on two. All three have complete drive trains including motors, starters, generators, carbs, front and rear axles, along with transfer units. Should be able to make two running units with parts left over. I probably have $3000 into all of these but will take best offer for all three.”
Runs and drives. Was listed at $2500.

Looks nice. This might be a ’46 as it has 3 dash plates and might have tool indents.
“Jeep CJ2A built in 1942, first registured in 1947. it was completly restored 14-years ago and put into storage untill a couple months back. everything works and runs great. $3500.00 or best offer.”
This is advertised as a 1942, but clearly isn’t. The irony is that the seller is asking buyers to do their research and see how rare this is. I suppose a 1942 M-38 really is rare.
“This is your chance to own a true piece of history. This Jeep is rare for a few reasons,its a Marine jeep, it’s a 1942 but its also a factory PROTOTYPE GENERATOR jeep, meaning that it was designed to power a MASH unit emergency electricity. Although its not currently installed in the Jeep, WE DO HAVE IT. As far as we know it still works, and it comes with jeep. This jeep runs of multi fuels. The tires are brand new, the Jeep runs and drives like new. Clean under this on, it has been in the family since the early 60’s and has been garaged and rarely driven, it has been restored here and there but mostly just a super fine example of a rare jeep, WITHOUT the body filler that most of them have. You will be pleased to own this Jeep. We believe this one belongs in a museum , but due to family needing the money we must sell it. This jeep is so nice, and runs great. It is perfect for shows or parades. It is always started once or twice a week and backed out of the garage and moved back in again. It has the PTO system with whinch on front and rear. Also included in this auction is a large MASH unit tent heater that is also multi fuel, it looks to have never been used and is VERY rare. Please feel free to have a appraiser come out and look at this beauty before you bid. This Jeep is NOT for-sale locally so it shouldn’t get gone before the auction ends. However if it meets the reserve I will end the auction early and sell to the highest bidder, But the transaction will still be made through ebay only. Please do not bid if you don’t have the money, this is a family owned jeep that means a lot to us, so please don’t play games with us, either buy it or don’t. No hard feelings. The SN/VIN#IS MC34211 and its a TP25 Generator Prototype Jeep. Please do your research and discover just how rare it really is. This Jeep still has its minor war pings in the body hear and there (we did not want to get rid of those) why use body filler if you dont need it? This jeep is a blast to own and drive. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me, I can be reached by text at 205-520-4782 or via email. I have included pictures of the generator powering unit and the multi fuel tent heater, also include is a Marine tool box. Buyer is Responsible for any shipping/ transporting cost”

It looks like it needs a little more than ‘minor’ work.
“Runs good needs minor work. Call for more info. Ask for Roberto or Carmen”
This looks in good shape. It is list over at Sellajeep.com.
