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 .

“1947 willys jeep has a rebuilt engine and transmission. It has a rollbar, a great heavy duty winch. Would be a great project . if you have any questions just ask.”
Seller plans to scrap this if he can’t give it away.

“I really Hate to see these old “Very Rare Willys Military Items” go for scrap so,
if you could use this old M38 Willys Military Jeep Hardtop Just come and get it.
I am calling the scrap-man next Friday.”
This September 28th, 1941, article covered the ‘cold shoulder’ given to American Bantam by War Department.
A few items I found on my phone. I think all these photos were on Facebook?
Some thought when into the mods on this jeep:
This sedan jeep is odd even for custom hardtop jeeps.
UPDATE: This brochure appeared on Facebook a while back.
===========================
Originally published October 2016: The American Chain & Cable Company’s Manley Division produced these Jeep Wrecking Cranes in the late 1940s. I can’t imagine there are too many of these around. This brochure is from a 1948 Industrial Equipment book.
No title at the moment.

“1954? Willys CJ3B mostly complete except for engine head and correlated components above the bad engine block. All running gear is in tact, just needs motor and complete restoration. Don’t ask me if it is rusty, YES it is sixty six years old for crying out loud! And no i will not deliver and i am not parting it out, period! Price is $800 and those who know it is well worth this in parts alone so don’t bother wasting your (i said your) time lowballing me because I won’t answer you if you do, if you show up and low ball me you’ll go home without the jeep.
I also have a bunch of misc. random Willys Jeep parts i have collected over the years, if you’re needing something particular email me your needs and i will look to see if i have it. Parts for old Willys flatfenders pre Kaiser. 1941 through 1951 era. Most of what i have will need attention or some sort of repair before use.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/13/2020) The low hood Flattie looks more like a CJ-2A than a GPW. Both the 2A and 3B are projects.
https://kalispell.craigslist.org/pts/d/kalispell-cj-3b-willys-plus/7120200781.html
“I have 2- willys Jeep’s that need a new home with more time to care for them.
One is a high hood(CJ-3B),other is a low hood could be a GPW as it does have FORD scripted axles!
You will need a trailer to move.”
This issue has some good articles, from new dealers, to jeeps in media, to the Schreiders’ first big adventure in their Ford GPA, Tortuga, from the Arctic Circle to Argentina (opposite direction of yesterday’s adventure).
This original poster featuring a Ford GP just sold on eBay yesterday for $177.50.
“Original poster printed by the US Government Printing Office. This poster was professionally mounted on what looks like painters canvas so should be ready for framing. Very good condition with sharp color. Measures approximately 43″ x 30-1/2″.”
Has a few updates, but looks good for the price.
