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 .
Looks like this has had some body work on the passenger side.

UPDATE IV: Well how about this …. There was an early Huffman hub that didn’t have the fancy ‘weapon-looking’ topper (as seen in the pics below). Instead, a cylindrical key was supplied to help select whether the hub was engaged or not. This ad is from the September 1962 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine.
======================
UPDATE III (May 17, 2020): In September of 1964 the Huffman Hub company posted this full-page ad in Four Wheeler Magazine —
September 1964 Four Wheeler Magazine
================================
(UPDATE II: Finally got a look at the 1967 article about Floyd Huffman that appeared in the August 20, 1967, issue of the Albuquerque Journal (pg 28):
These pics featuring the newly designed jeep appeared in the December 05, 1941, issue of the Ithaca Journal, two days before Pearl Harbor. I feel bad for those women having work the line in a dress and high heels.
The blurb below states:
THE JEEP TAKES ITS PLACE IN ARMY AND IN DICTIONARY: Officially designated as “quarter-ton four-by-four trucks,” but known to the U.S. Army as jeeps, the fast little scout cars, being turned out by thousands to serve as liaison between advanced mechanized units and infantry follow-ups, now are recognized as among the most important contributions of modern American assembly-line methods to the service. Powered with a 63-horsepower, four-cylinder engines, the jeep has a four-wheel drive, can carry three men and a machine gun, and can tow a heavy-calibre anti-tank gun. The pictures, illustration jeep production and testing, were made at the Willys-Overland plant in Toledo, Ohio. Left (in our case top): Women employees at work on a jeep assembly line. In the rear is an assembly line of civilian cars. Center: The cars being tested on the proving-ground. At right (in our case at the bottom): Negotiating an open field choke with heavy brush.
This Northwestern Auto Parts and Wilenskey Auto parts ads in the January 05, 1947, issue of the Star Tribune out of Minneapolis highlighted engine kits that allowed a jeep engine and transmission (which was included with the purchase), along with the necessary mountings, to be installed into certain Ford, Plymouth, and Chevrolet vehicles. I wasn’t aware there were kits design to do this.
This jeep has a variety of updates.

“1947? Willys Jeep. No engine and comes with some extra parts. It has not been registered in decades, and the title is missing. I was told it is a 43, but I’m not a jeep expert and several people have told me it is 46 up. I don’t know how to confirm this. Your guess is likely better than mine. It could be fun for someone who has more time than I but it’s a project I can’t find the time to dig into.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2200.
(01/04/2021) No title, which likely explains the listed year. This is a project.

“1955 cj3a jeep bill of sale. Great starter project. Front clip is off and have start on freshing up the motor. I have a spare Trans too. If you didn’t want to rebuild the old one. Sold separately.

This video that Mike spotted includes a hood that was used in German as part of a ceiling (several hoods were used, then later auctioned on eBay). You can see this hood, along with other hoods, in this post.
Bill spotted this article about a 1951 Truck that was later sold for $38,500 through Sothebys.

“It is an accurate representation jeep for what one would have looked like in WWII. A serviceable jeep, in a sense. All WWII, but not an all matching jeep.
It has an MB TUB, with a GPW frame. It is not by any means perfect, but would be a great ‘driver jeep’ and is mechanically near perfect.
Problems would be…
-Slight Rust on frame (can show pictures)… Around a foot strip that would use repair
-One blackout light needs replaced
-Windshield fold out needs fixed
Besides that it is a very nice jeep.
Please email me for more pictures & I will get them sent your way.
I can work with you on shipping anywhere in the lower 48 US states.”

Marty spotted this good price on a trailer.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/851985805417440
“Military ammo trailer Vietnam era. Has a rotating tongue which helps out when you are wheeling. I have had this trailer for over 25 years. At one time I was going to paint it to match my jeep that is why the fenders are off, never painted and never put them back on. This pulled great behind my Jeep. No title never had one, I bought it off a add tacked to the wall in Woodys 4×4 in Vancouver.”
The body has some digs and patches.
