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: Jim used to make these seat cushions, but no longer does. I’ve decided to keep these here just in case someone is looking for ideas for Seat Cushions.
UPDATE: Jim’s sharp eyes discovered this egregious attempt at illegally modifying the serial number of the data plate. He pointed out that there was an M38A1 data plate on the dash stamped as a CJ2A.

Crosley was the maker of some of the prototype lightweight Jeeps the Army and Willys considered building. Apparently, Crosley continued down this path of lightweight utility vehicles. One of the results of this efforts was designed by the Crosley company and called a Farm-O-Road. The Crofton Bug, based on the Farm-O-Road design was actually produced by the Crofton Marine Engine Company. Only about 250 Crofton Bugs were built between 1959 and 1962 (or 1963). Like the jeep, these had some farm tools you could attach to these ‘mini jeeps’. You can learn more about this 1100lb vehicle at Tom’s Crofton Bug website.
Thanks to Gerald for finding these two pics.
Here’s Tom’s Crofton Bug and a few of his pics. Drop by his website to learn more about the Crofton Bug and see more images and brochures.

Gerald send these pics:
1st up, his brother’s build — This is a mixed 1948 CJ-2A. The front loop is actually out of the red willys you’ll see in the next picture. They had it stored in the garage for about 15 years. Reuse and recycle. Perfect!
Here’s Gerald’s Mom racing around the track around 1979.
These M715 pics are from Sam Winer Motors in Akron around 1992, all crushed now. I loved that place back then.:
Here’s Gerald’s brother’s cool 1940 Bantam coupe with the 22 hp Hill Master engine in it.
I thought the padding on this was unusual.

It has an overdrive, a sm420, and presumably a sm420-dana 18 adapater. There’s some value here. There is no motor.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2500.
The seller notes this has a “head turning paint job”. I could suggest that it’s not my head that’s turning, but I try not to be so blunt. If the seller reads this, I’d strongly suggest painting it green. The value will increase.
“hello this listing is for a 1947 willys jeep i bought about 6 months ago and ive done some work to it but i just have to many toys soo this has to go it has the original flathead engine that runs great smokes a lil bit (rings) the 4 wheel drive works great so does the high and low range. it has a new fuel pump and the radiator was reconditioned and it has a head turning paint job!!! own a peice of history asking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It runs but doesn’t stop. I think this is a CJ-3A with a 2A windshield.
“1952 Jeep Willys, ready for restoration. Pretty solid body and frame compared to most Jeeps of this vintage. Motor runs great and transmission on tranfsercase shift well. This Jeep will need brake work and will need to be trailered”

(09/15/09) This appears like a nicely original Wagon in good shape.
