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 $3500.
TJ spotted what looks like a pretty good price. Looks like it may have had a DJ-3A, M-38 or CJ-3A engine.

For months we wondered if our three breeding cows were pregnant. We were sure about one, but not about the other two. Then, on Wednesday, within the span of 12 hours, all three gave birth to female calves. While we would have preferred steers (for meat), we are well set up with breeding cows for the upcoming years.
Updates delayed until Sat morning.
Bill shared this fine looking Boyer CJ-2A fire jeep.

“1966 CJ5 hardtop, has 60’s Ford inline 6, stock running gear, no rust, have wrangler back seat, extra body tub with front hoop roll bar and frame, doesn’t run but does crank, probably needs fuel system clean and points, brakes work”
Looks like there’s value here. It lacks an engine. has a military windshield.

“1947 Jeep Willys, it’s in pretty rough shape but definitely worth rebuilding for the right person. Body is in decent shape for the year, there is some rust in the normal spots for these. Floor will need to be replaced. Does not have an engine, all other drive train is there tho. There is no title. Message me for more detail if interested”
Ron Fitzpatrick recently revealed two parts GPAs he apparently has acquired, which I imagine he will transform into one? Anyway, I wanted to highlight the green one, as it is one of the oddest modified GPAs I’ve ever seen. The pics are from this post: https://www.facebook.com/ron.fitzpatrick.g503/posts/pfbid0oJdt1qQ8yYYtgsJ1QkETtynEJpbEWQUJvPtd8ncrXvFeZNB3S8czBzdXie8Qqr1Gl
Bill shared this article from Silodome on the Austin Champ. It included the below video.
TJ spotted this Howe Fire Jeep, which is now a pile of parts. Still, I can’t imagine there isn’t value of some kind here.

“The first photo is for illustration of what a Fire Jeep looks like. It is a project with nearly all the necessary parts”
Curt posted this one, but it isn’t his. Contact info is on the For Sale Placard.

“Not mine. However I do transport cars across the country so if someone wanted to make a deal on this, I could probably transport it for you. If you need me to do a video chat or check it out for you private message me. Located in Lowell Vt. Driver floor seems to have a couple small holes.”
Runs and drives.

“Cab is in good shape, windshield all in one peice and the floors/dash arnt rusted. Starts right up and you can drive it around. 4×4 works, lights work and I have a clean Oregon title in hand. Pretty rare, pretty cool, pretty funny looking too Have some extras to go with it”
Listed as a 1952, the yellow jeep appears to be a 1946 CJ-2A, given the three data plates on the dash. I believe the yellow jeep has a Koenig half cab, while the other jeep has a sears-branded full cab.

“Its all there, and there’s 2 of them”
And, the second jeep: Continue reading
This is listed as a 1954, but it’s clearly has a CJ-2A body. Unclear how much value is here, as this doesn’t run.

“It’s got a nice cab,roll bar, and tow hitch. The motor is a ford 260 v8. With an overdrive Its been sitting a long time. Back is full of carburetors and other parts”
Bill shared the nice looking Jeepster at what might be a pretty good price, though the gauges and overdrive need to be wired. It was also highlighted on Barn Finds.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/977492693269519/
“Nice looking 1950 Jeepster, runs has good brakes, converted to 12 volt, has disk brakes on front , new top not installed, dash gauge’s needs to be wired up, is a 3 speed with 3 on the tree, it does have o/d but it needs hooked up, this vehicle still has the 4 cylinder hurricane engine, interior good body work has been done in the past, tires good. mileage unknown.”
This appears to have a custom half cab.

UPDATE: The correct name of this vehicle is Sternad not Steran, built by Anton (Andrew) Frank Sternad in 1917. As Mark notes in the comments, there is more information on it here: http://coachbuilt.com/bui/s/sternad/sternad.htm
================
Originally published May 5, 2023:
Merlin mentioned this vehicle (and article), called the Sterand Loco, in a Facebook post. Various sourced indicate it was built in 1902, but he felt it looked more like a 1920s build. I agree with him, that it is a cool car, but I am not steeped enough in early car history to know for sure when it might have been built.
After some internet searches, I found the engine was consistent with 1902 (a Rutenber 4 cylinder engine). However, after Googling and checking newspaper articles prior to 1920, I could not find what I felt was a definitive source for the date of the vehicle’s creation (no info on why it is called a Sterand or any promotion surrounding it’s inception). The most I could find was a postcard (from this website) that discussed what the article stated.
Still, it’s a cool car.
UPDATE: **SOLD** for $14,250 (thanks Tom)
Here’s a nice looking CJ-2A that is at $11,000 with only 3+ hours to go. Thanks to Blaine for spotting it.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1946-willys-cj-2a-4/
“This 1946 Willys CJ-2A is finished in green over tan cloth upholstery and is powered by a 134ci inline-four mated to a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Additional equipment includes yellow-painted 16” steel wheels, a full-size spare, a fold-down windshield, a single-barrel carburetor, a rear bench seat, and front lap belts. The truck was repainted under previous ownership and was acquired by the selling dealer in March 2023. This Willys is now offered in Florida at no reserve with Georgia registration.”
I am taking the weekend off. I had hoped to take the Tour Jeep up to the Moonshiners race in Glenwood, WA, this weekend to share the FC with folks. However, I am not feeling the best, so I’ve decided to get some rest. Meanwhile, it seems one of our cows is showing signs of giving birth soon (we’d given up, thinking she wasn’t going to have a calf this year), so that’s a surprise!
Have a great weekend!
I haven’t seen one of these for sale for several years (at least).
