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 .
UPDATE: Sold. Was available for $1000
If this runs and the body is good, I might scoop this up. I could use the winch.

“This jeep might be a M38 vin-ed as a cj2a, Im not an expert with these so it could be a late military jeep or the first civilian jeep made. This jeep is in great condition and runs strong, everything works except for the few following, the choke cable is broken so the choke is held wide open (not a big deal in AZ), the oil canister leaks a tiny bit but all it needs is a new O-ring/gasket (napa sells them), the transmission has a small leak or it could be the rear main seal not sure but I have both on order and should be here this week, the brakes need to be bled there is air bubbles in the lines so the bakes need to be pumped once to engage them. The seats are out of a cj5 but the original seat frames are still in place, all they need is new cushions. Other than this being 65 years old it is in great condition, there are a few small rust holes, 3 total about the size of a quarter. I bought this for a project and I do not have the time due to my work schedule, If you want to come look at it or go for a ride I can show you everything works including the 4 wheel drive high and low, The engine was rebuilt about 1000 miles ago. Please only call after 330 on weekdays but you can text me or email me anytime,”

“This old Army Jeep is missing the engine. Restore it to its original military configuration or turn it into a rock crawler. These flat fender Jeeps are the best. Bill of sale only, no title. Frame has not been cut for a V-8 so it will still fit the original flat head.”
Is that purple paint on the passenger fender?

HOG forward this video and link to Bang Shift of an engine exploding in the Netherlands. In the comments section, a commenter had some additional explosions. So, here are a few of the videos from youtube (there are others).
2 explosions to the same tractor in 2008 and 2009
PapaJack spotted this cool find. They seem a pretty good price considering they both run. You might remember this unusual jeep also from Hawaii listed last night (& just down the road from Kona, Hi).

The engine isn’t original.
“Running and driving WW II Army Jeep. It has a Jeep four cylinder engine but not the original flat head. The brakes need work. The body has rust and will require repair if it is to be restored to as new condition. Still has its original identification tags affixed to it and has a California title. The Ramsey winch works. This is a project and is priced accordingly, if you’re looking for a mint condition Jeep then this is not the one for you.”
UPDATE: Was $3200. **SOLD**
The pic is a bit fuzzy.
“jeep is in great shape runs good call 4 info”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
“This Jeep was given to me by a friend who’s grandfather died and left it to him. He lost the title so it only comes with a bill of sale. The granddad has owned it for many many years.
It sure not perfect and won’t win any beauty contests but he did have it running and driving about 2 years ago. As far as I can tell it’s pretty much complete and original and for the most part un-molested. This jeep is 65 years old so I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best than be disappointed in any way-now that having been said I can’t imagine a better project jeep for the price. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750.
This looks in good condition.
“Orignal Jeep that runs well with newly rebuilt original Hurricane 4 cylinder engine. New front end parts and new wiring harness; tires and top in good condition; with extra wheels/tires and parts; good title. Will try to get more up-to-date pics later. Needs good home that keeps it original.”
