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 .

My friend Steve is looking for a 1971 Offset Dana Rear in the PNW for a flat fender build. If anyone has one for sale, email me at d @ deilers.com (remove spaces around the @) and I’ll hook you up with him.
Needs some work, but runs.

“1968 Land Rover Santana – Imported from Paraguay (South America). Left Hand Drive, Diesel, Manual Transmission. Solid project for a rugged daily or full high end restoration and custom project. Overlander. Camping. Paint is original brown under the blue wrap. Was used as a rural ambulance in Paraguay. Comes with the Land Rover branded winch in unknown condition but that has to rare? Series III (series 3) 109 pre Defender 110 model but similar look. Very cool rare vehicle. 5 door. Has seats for 10. Has the safari roof with vents under it. This is a legally imported Land Rover from Paraguay. The title is still foreign but I will help the new owner transfer the title to US…I just didn’t do it due to having brought in 6 cars at once and no need to do everything 2x since I’m not keeping it. I WILL HELP YOU GET THE TITLE IN YOUR STATE! Engine and drivetrain are complete but in unknown operational condition other than they turn freely.”
This has already had an engine change. It might make an interesting project for someone.

“This is a project vehicle! It is a 1985 Jeep CJ-10. Very rare Jeep, it was originally used as an aircraft tug by the Airforce. I have tried to turn it into overland/ rock crawler Jeep. Originally had the Nissan SD33 diesel in it, but was swapped for a Chevy In-line 7 292. Bored .030 over, big block valve train, head studs, Clifford intake, self made turbo charger kit. Automatic transmission to dual transfer cases. I believe a NP203 and NP205. 14bolt and Dana 44 8-lug conversion. Gear ratios unknown. The fenders were made to fit my old 38’s. The wheels on it are just cheap wheels I got to roll it around while I worked on it. 38’s are not for sale. This is a project vehicle and needs some work.”

“Willyz Jeep doesn’t run would be a great project for the right person.. as is”
Thanksgiving is a sign that 2020 is almost over …
Mark shared this photo of a CJ-2A and a successful turkey hunt. Per a website about Texas license plate history, the plate indicates this is a 1950 plate, meaning it is likely a 1950 photo. Unfortunately, the KT on the left side of the plate is not a county abbreviation or code.
They aren’t jeeps, but they are definitely off road (and through buildings). Thanks to Roger Martin for sharing this unusual video. The race took place in 1920s New Zealand according to youtube.
This nice little nugget of Willys history has been posted since 2011, but somehow I missed it. The Kaiser Willys blog has three photos of a CJ-2 (not CJ-2A) Fire Jeep that includes the “JEEP” plate across the front of the windshield.

UPDATE: The press photo at bottom was published in several newspapers, including the February 04, 1945, issue of the Knoxville News-Sentinel:

I’ve seen a Perjeco catalog (note that name is the cable address), but not a Perfect Jeep catalog. I’m not sure how those two companies are related (or maybe one is just a DBA). The catalog is probably not worth much.

“I have a Willy’s CJ-2a for sale with an F-head engine in it out of a cj-3b The entire frame has been redone with new suspension, transmission was went through before I purchased it. The engine was rebuilt before it was put in the frame. The body needs the floor and firewall finished and braced. I do not have the steering column or windshield for it. Selling because I have too many projects at the moment and this one just isn’t getting done. I have a title for it in hand.”

Actress Jane Wyman was captured in this photo while visiting Kirkland Field in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in May of 1942. The jeep driver doesn’t seem too unhappy to be escorting her.
May 20, 1942, Visalia Times-Delta in Visalia, California.
This Willys-Overland Fire Pump needs an L-head, but it seems an unusual item. It looks like the trailer was not original to the unit, based on these two photos from G503:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/WillysSwapMeet/permalink/2800695516870376
“1943-dated Willys American fire pump. US Army Corps of Engineers, 250 GPM.
“Willys American” cast into the pump body. Enclosure is gone.
The base is the fuel tank. Mounted on a 2 wheel trailer chassis with antique tires and 2” ball hitch.
No suspension and old tires so needs to be hauled on a trailer.
Has WWII OD paint under the red paint.
I removed the engine and bellhousing for use in WWII jeep restoration. Selling with the engine front plate, manifolds & carburetor, governor, oil filter & bracket, fan and fan shroud and generator. You will need to supply a Willys L-134 motor and bellhousing to put this back in operation.”
Looks in good shape.
