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 .
Look solid.

“1955 Korean War M38A1 Willy’s Jeep that is in excellent condition. I have receipts, work order, maintenance logs going back nearly 20 years. This jeep has had a lot of time, effort and money invested into it over the years including a full engine overhaul (at a cost of nearly 3.5K– nothing was skimped.

Lots of great details about the build included within the description.
View all the information on eBay
” This is an Arizona titled (clean and clear) 1949 Willys Pickup built on a stretched 1997 Jeep Wrangler frame with a three-link front, 4-link rear, one-ton axles, manual transmission, 505 cubic inch Dodge/Chrysler RB Big Block engine. There are many many details that went into this build and I will try to list them here, but may miss some or forget some. Any really interested parties need to come see this truck first hand and ask questions. I reserve the right to cancel the auction any time in case of local sale, or if I decide to keep the truck. The truck drives great on-road and is extremely capable off-road. It has plenty of power, and turns heads everywhere it goes. Everyone loves it from Rednecks, to Hippies, and everyone in between.
Built as a Jp Magazine project Vehicle there are 8 or 9 3-4 page articles on the build. To see them Google: “Jp Magazine Wicked Willys”
You can also Google “Wicked Willys Ultimate Adventure” for more info on the truck and the UA trip
The truck, since I finished it in june of last year, has been on Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Road Ultimate Adventure for 2016 (that included about 2000 miles of on road and trail driving) Over the Rubicon, Isham trail near Trona, CA, and part of Fordyce. Its also been on a few trails in AZ and all over Moab during Easter Jeep Safari 2017. It drives over almost anything the driver aims it at and is very stable off-road. I’d love to keep it, but I like to build 4x4s and can’t keep them all.

Sure looks like a good price.
“1953 CJ3B Jeep Original Paint New Brakes New Radiator New Carburetor Original owners manual w/ spare key taped inside Have original wheels Very little rust”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
Looks nice.
“For sale is my 1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. Asking $9,500.00 o.b.o. The CJ-2A was the first civilian Jeep model ever produced after WWII. The Jeep is in great running and cosmetic condition. It had a frame off restoration about 5 years ago. Body, frame, transmission, transfer-case, axles are stock/original (However, I can’t prove that they are all 100% original to this Jeep or what you might call “matching numbers”, as there may have been major components replaced over the last 70 years of this Jeeps life). The engine has been replaced with a very strong running carbureted Chevrolet 4.3L V6 with a modern alternator and electric fuel pump.
The Jeep starts right up and runs strong, has a nice heavy clutch and a smooth shifting 3 speed transmission. The body is original and has had some new steel welded in on it (inevitably, there is some bondo to smooth out the patches) in various places but the work is well done and the Jeep looks very straight for an original 1946 body. There is no rust or bubbles anywhere on the body. The hat channels are perfectly solid. The frame is also rust free and 100% solid. All 5 wheels and tires are like new (installed last summer) with only about 25 miles on them (zero miles on the spare) since then. The tires are Firestone NDT military style. Other things done to the Jeep in the last year include: 4 new shocks, both transmission mounts, new shift boots, new fuel filter, new air filter/air cleaner, transfer-case front output yoke and seal, transfer-case pan gasket, all fluids (transmission, t-case, coolant, F/R diff’s, steering knuckles, steering box, and engine oil) changed.

Nice looking Jeepster.
https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/6199476922.html
“This is an exceptionally well preserved 1950 Jeepster. Original everything, but runs well and starts easily. If you are looking for a classic you can have fun with now, or if you want to restore it to a “like new” condition, this is the Jeepster for you. Comes with the original radio and heater. Floor matts appear to be original.
I can’t tell if the paint is original, but it does appear that the original color was red (Firewall is red) . The cowl is black, and looks great, but does not seem to be original. Top and side curtains are usable, but need to be replaces. The body is very solid. I can’t find evidence of repair, bond-o, rust issues, etc.
I don’t know a lot about the car’s history. It most recently had a Kansas title, and I was told it spent many years in use as a parade car.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
