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 .
It’s a non runner, but still might be worth a look.

“1948 CJ2A runs amazing. Has rebuilt Chevy 153 4 cylinder, Chevy 4 speed manual transmission, and Chevy steering. Brand new aluminum radiator with shroud, new hoses, and thermostat. Freshly rebuilt carburetor, new brake lines throughout, newer tires, newer battery, new fuel pump/lines/ and filters. Just replaced head gasket, oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket. Very reliable and a blast to drive.”
TJ shared this shortened truck. Note that the seller does not have the title, but has contact with the original owner who has paperwork of some kind.

“I have a 1951 willys pickup, I bought from a friend, got it to restore but don’t have the extra funds for parts, was willing to sell for less because of an injury but all healed up now but still willing to part with for the right price. The motor should be good, it was restored and ran when parked in the yard around 20 years ago. Someone had taken the radiator off and belt somewhere over the years, but i do have the radiator. It rolls but haven’t worked on the motor so don’t know if it will start or not. I know these trucks go for much more in same condition. Asking $1,000 OBO I do not have the title but can right bill of sale. Also can have original owner provide paperwork if any concerns.”
UPDATE: Still Available? I haven’t seen this ad on Facebook since 2019, but it just popped up as I was searching for something else. I suspect this sold, but you never know….
Has a variety of updates. Appears to have an overdrive.

The big spring project, operation Raised Garden #2, has finally concluded. The auto irrigation system is ready to go. Now, Ann just needs to finish planting and I need to put away the tools leaning against the shop (and paint the fencing around the propane tank).
Since first buying the place we’ve struggled with what to do with this dead zone between the shop and the guest house. Ann’s idea for 2nd garden area there looks like it will be a good idea. Here’s a before and after photo:
On Sunday, I returned to working on the FC. I finished a cover plate for the Wilwood hole (formerly the original shifter hole), and I built a bracket for the oil-cooler/electric fan setup (no pics just yet). Though I need to catch up on other projects waylaid as a result of the garden, I should have more time to work on the FC again.
Buz shared this uniquely colored yellow and white Willys MB. It looks like a detailed restoration.

“Purchased as a non-running Jeep from behind a barn in Memphis TN. Rebuilt as a project during Covid lockdown. Flat-head 60hp Go Devil engine converted to 12v, and new wiring and gauges installed throughout. Disk brakes added to the front to aid in drivability, and the front seats have been extended rearward into the rear fenders to allow a little more clearance between the steering wheel and the driver. Frame is powder coated. Axles, transmission/transfer case, and motor are all powder coated then rebuilt. Body work and painting performed off-the-frame at Fenix Automotive (https://www.fenixgarage.com/), and the full underside of the body is painted the same as the top side.”
UPDATE: As Chris notes, this is a post 72 CJ6, not a 1964.
This looks good on the outside. No interior photos.

TJ shared this wagon. The seems worth a look.

“This is a beauty! It would be the perfect restoration project. 4×4 2 door, Studebaker “big six” 353 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder engine, chrome wheels. This was made by Willys Motor Company. We have the original grill. Rear seats are original. Front seats are comfortable bucket seats. It has the original rear sliding windows. It doesn’t run. One tire is deflated and it will need to be replaced. There is crack in the front passengers side windshield. If you need a recommendation for a local company that can move it for you (they also deliver out of state), we have on”
My impression is that AJ’s bodies had more of a standard step. The steps on this body are more similar to the Bobcat/Parkette designs. However, I think this is similar to some other bodies built in the midwest by a yet-unidentified manufacturer years ago (probably some entrepreneur or small shop).

“Very nice fiberglass body tub for a flat fender Willys Jeep CJ2a CJ3a. Believed to be an AJ’s body. Asking $1,200 or best offer.”
The body looks surprisingly solid.

(01/14/2024) I can’t imagine there are very man amphibious GAZ vehicles in the US. It sure does look similar to the Ford GPA.

“1947 Willys CJ-2A, rebuilt engine with 1000 miles including radiator, clutch, rear end, all new brake system, shocks, springs, hangers. New tires, exhaust system, seats. All new glass in top and windshield. Runs great and good condition.”
Bill shared this article on MD Juan and some of the recent updates to their product line, along with some infrastructure updates. I know folks mock MD Juan at times, but their ability to manufacture inexpensive bodies means the company can’t invest heavily in additional equipment (chicken and egg situation). Nice to see the company continuing to support the vintage jeep community.
Here are three Willys Overland Export Corporation mailers in Spanish distributed in Ecuador. The look to be printed around 1960 given the blue ‘Jeep’ dot and the single-pane willys wagon. These are priced at $18.00 and are pretty rare.
Bill also shared this article regarding some new jeep-branded watches by Marathon. Maybe it will interest someone?
I haven’t worn a watch since about 2001 (by then I had a portable phone and computer as constant companions). I found over the years I didn’t like wearing watches, jewelry, bracelets or anything on my fingers. I don’t even wear my wedding ring often (thankfully I have a patient wife). I recently discovered my aunt has had a life-long aversion to wearing items on her fingers and wrist, so maybe a DNA thing?
This thread of a 1956 truck rebuild was shared by Bill. It looks like this has become a non-stock rebuild.
