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 .

Here’s another Jeep-smoking pipe. These jeep pipes don’t appear very often. You can view two other examples here.
“This little pipe looks unused and is a WWII souvenir brought back by a US GI. The wooden part is about 2.5 inches long. See photo. This was in my WWII toy display for many years. It would look great in your toy JEEP or real JEEP collection. Made in FRANCE!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7995.
(10/07/2017) Includes the plow. The lack of a tailgate is curious. I suspect this has had some body work. Also note that a large speedo and backing plate has replaced the normal gauges.

That top looks in good shape.
“Near perfect oldie1959 willy cj5 jeep 4×4. There are only a few of these original cj5s left. The motor is the F-head 135 cid. It runs perfect. The 4×4 drive line and hubs are perfect. It still has the original “sears” aluminum top from when it was new. (oops! rims arn’t original). This is a completely rust free specimen including under seat fuel tank and tool well. The windshield should be replaced. The wipers and some dash wiring and speedo needs attention. Located in Hamilton Mt.”
Given all then parts, this might be worth a look.

Chris spotted these. Could be a good deal.
“Two DJ-5 Postal Jeeps for sale. Projects, not running, I have a title for the green one, but the white one is in much better shape, no title for the white one. The roof rack is crappy PVC. Both appear complete, 2.5l 4 cylinder engines, 3-speed automatic transmission. Combine the two for a really nice cheap running Jeep that will turn heads.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7995.
(01/23/2018) Needs some body work.

Ted shared this one. It’s on the newer side, but for $50, seems like a cool thing to have in your jeep (old or new).
“Jeep promotional toolkit from 2006. In a plastic case with hatchet, multitool, knife, etc.”

Motor was completely gone through several years ago. Have receipt for motor rebuild.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
It’s missing a bow holder in the front, but looks in good shape. Has a few updates.
“1947 Willys CJ2A. Southern jeep has a solid steel body that is mostly all original. New soft top. Seats are upholstered in OD green canvas. The transmission has been refreshed, The transfer case has been refreshed. The T-18 transfer case is equipped with a Saturn overdrive unit (this results in an additional gear on the highway, and allows the operator to split gears in all ranges).
The brakes have been upgrade to include all new brake lines and hoses, a dual master cylinder, front disk brakes and 11″ by 2″ Rear drum brakes (a major improvement over the original 9′ by 1″ drum brakes). Dual heaters in the cabin with separate fan controls.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.
Some really nice work was done on this truck. The tailgate area is particularly unique.
