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 .
It’s a parts jeep night!

“1946 Willys CJ2A project for sale. I bought this jeep in New Hampshire last fall from a guy who said this jeep was “Done Right”. Well, my inexperience paired with my enthusiasm for the jeep impaired my vision. When I started sanding the bondo bubbles, I found that the whole back end was gone. I hired a guy to cut it all out and replace everything with 16 gauge steel. Now that everything is metal and this jeep is solid I am looking to sell it to someone who has the skills to finish the project and live the dream. Needs some bondo skimming over the grinded welds and where the new steel meets the old. It needs a radiator bracket fabricated to hold the brand new custom aluminum radiator that I bought for it. It needs a bracket modification to fit the alternator back on since I put a shallow water pump in. then this jeep should be ready to cruise around town and off road. There are other things of course, but you get the idea. It ran and drove when I bought it last fall. It just needs to be put back together.
the good: Has YJ leafs springs in the front which give it a big lift
Has a running 327 sbc motor
Has a muncie 4 speed
Has 34″ super swampers in 80% condition
Its all solid steel
Now its “Done Right”
Frame is Solid
Custom Dual side exit exhaust
all new brake lines”

(05/05/09) The body looks a little rough, but it runs. It looks like a good price.

(06/15/2010) I think it is time for me to create a post on how to take a good picture, issues of light/shadows, what to take, and what not to take ….

Gerben asked me to let readers know he was selling his GPA. He’s managed to take some unique pics, so there are some good views. I especially like the way he’s managed to lift the back and front (using a crane?).
“Ford GPA Amphibious jeep. This is a NOS (yes, new old stock) hull that was never used. I know for sure because I have drilled all of the holes for the springbrackets myself when we put the frame in for the first time. We inspected the wheelwells very carefully and sanded of the paint to see if there were holes welded. It was all flat sheetmetal and the only holes present were the ones for the shockabsorber pins and the breaklines
Some repairs are done due to sitting outside for perhaps years. The toprail on the left and rear part and some small parts of sheetmetal have been replaced. This was not done by me, one of the previous owners did that a few years ago. After that is was shotblasted and painted again.
The axels are rebuilt with new bearings, seals and brake parts. 4 new Firestone tires on original split rims. The frame and all of the other parts are used and from other GPA’s
All of the hard to get special GPA parts are there such as surfshield, bilge pump with 3 way valve, 12 volt generator, PTO for the propellor and pump, capstan winch with PTO and bracket on the engine, 6 blade fan with shroud and GPA radiator.
The engine is original GPA but has a crack above the distributor and needs repair. I will include a Ford GPW engine that runs good. The gearbox, transfercase and PTO are rebuilt and ready to be mounted.
The dash, front and rear deck, floors, frontseats are in great condition and only need minor repairs. Bottom of the rear seat needs to be replaced. The original fuel tank is in bad condition. A new handmade exact copy reproduction tank will go with the vehicle.
I think about 10% of the needed parts are missing. There is no title with the vehicle. A bill of sale only. The GPA is located in the Netherlands in Europe and can be viewed by appointment. I will sell worldwide and help on this end, but it’s up to the buyer to arrange and pay shipping.”

It looks in great shape.

(06/03/2010) This looks like a good price. It includes a plow.
“I am putting up my 1958 Willys for sale. I bought this last year after searching for a truck for some time. I have a child and a stay at home wife now, so truck must go. It starts and runs every time. I has the original 226 super hurricane motor and running gear. It is 4 wheel drive. These are originally rated as a 1-ton truck. It does have a plow for the front. I do not know much about it, but bolts right up to the bumper brackets and has an electric winch on it. The past owner plowed his drive with it. I bought this truck as a hunting rig and it worked great. I was able to drive back and forth from freeman in rain or snow. I also have chains for all four tires. This truck would be a great start for a restore job, mud bogger, or a rat truck. Email or call, I will get back as soon as possible (509)280-2257 Ian.”

Dan forwarded this ad. I think ROUGH accurately describes this project.
“1947 Willys Jeep with clear title. Has original engine. Motor was running when last parked. But needs work. Great father & son project! NO TRADES! NO TRADES! Not trying to be rude but I want to get rid of this not trade it for another…thanks.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(06/09/2010) Fun and fast.
“This is a very unique Willys CJ2 Jeep built to have fun in many different situations and is why its called 3 Dimensional. This Jeep is a very consistent multiple ASDA and NSDA sand drag event winner and runs in 4.0 to 4.20 second range to 300 feet at about 76 mph. However it also equally comfortable at the dunes and can run all day on a tank of gasoline. Lastly it is registered and licensed for the street and would be a bunch of fun with the proper tires. The Jeep sits on a 112″ wb Twisted Tubes Fab chassis and the body is by Mallet. This is a very well built, seldom seen example that was constructed with only the best parts. I will try to detail the vehicle here as much as possible but if you have a question or would like a picture of something specific please feel free to ask.”
