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 .
Appears worth a look.

(11/04/2015) “1958 Willys CJ-3B. Runs great. I replaced transmission with new from Kaiser Willys last year. Clutch was in really good shape so did not replace. Also installed Warn premium locker hubs and did extensive brake work and also rebuilt some of steering. Body is in nice shape with no meaningful rust (body and paint was done by a previous owner). Paint has a few minor flaws. Engine starts and runs well. Tires are excellent condition. Horn is missing, as is emergency brake cable. Cannot validate mileage.”
Looks like there’s some value here.

Seth forwarded this militarized CJ-2A from Bring-a-Trailer’s website.
“This 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A is a body-off restored example with a 134 CI 4-cylinder engine, 3-speed transmission, and upgrades for safety and highway cruising. It is fitted with seat belts and a roll bar as well as 11” drum brakes and locking hubs in the front and a Warn Overdrive unit to lower engine RPM at speed. Notable features include an original-style canvas top with the frames and bracketry which enable multiple configurations of the top and side curtains, as well as a cool bed-extension option in the rear.”

“This car has been sitting for quite awhile…..it is my dad’s car, but he has lost interest in it….ever since mom passed away……it was a good runner, before a timing gear went out….but has been sitting in the garage ever since, til we pulled it out….it is an older restoration…….with just a little TLC…it could be a good runner again……asking $9500 or trade for a newer Ford Truck”

Looks solid.
“Parting ways with a 1962 Jeep Willys Wagon. Most all original, including 6-226 Super Hurricane engine. I believe the only modifications to body or mechanical is a small mounting tab on the left, front bumper (can be seen in some pictures) and the battery/starter wiring. Jeep ran up great until about 3 years ago. It had a starter motor or solenoid requiring some work, I didn’t have the time and now here we are…
Some typical rusting in the back panel of the tailgate, typical for this make/model – you can see this in the pictures. There are also some shallow dents in the roof (you can see these from the pictures). Otherwise, the body is in good shape. This jeep has been garaged for the last 10 years or so.
More pictures are available upon request. Title is clean and in hand.”

Dan spotted this truck.
“Up for sale is this original 1957 Willys 1 Ton 4×4 Truck. This truck has the 6 cyl. Super Hurricane Motor. It was purchased at an Estate Sale here in Napa. I had to rescue this awesome example of the top of the Willys Overland post war production. The truck is almost all there. The old story “it was running when it was parked” is what I got from the original owner. I also will combine a more rust free body of another truck same color for $500 more. The top of the transmission was off when I bought it. It has another transmission case in the bed. This is a great project rig for a full restoration or rock crawler. The truck has a clean California title!”
Has a plow, warn tranny, and Kelly hardtop, though the latter looks a bit rusty.
