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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 got quite a bit of rust, but it does run and drive.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A Has straight six in it right now thats knocking real bad, but Have running original four cylinder that goes with this. Also have front and rear axle to go too. Body,frame,all running gear in very good shape. Will be nice little jeep when running again. has collector plates, so no tabs to worry about. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was For Trade.
It’s got an interesting paint job. I wonder if there was some body work done on the driver’s side front?
“

I am open to all offers but im most interested in 4×4 k5 blazer, ramcharger, full size bronco, full size pickup, any 4×4 toyota or 80s jeep, muscle car or rat rod.”
UPDATE: I’ve added some final information to this post …
After a great deal of research, I felt the best option for a bender for my purposes was to build my own. I quickly settled on Frank Takac’s plans from gotTrikes.com. Frank was great to deal with, responsive to my email and the plans were professional with plenty of tips, pics and information. Frank told me that a 15 year old successfully built one of his benders. You can see a variety of benders built by purchasers of Frank’s plans at his website. I can strong recommend these plans if you are considering building your bender.
Frank recently added my project to his website. You can view it here.
Here’s a few pics of my finished bender:
PREVIOUSLY:
I’ve been slowly building my tube bender. I followed most of the instructions I purchased (which were great — I’ll write more about that later), but I just couldn’t stand buying new metal when I had so much 1/4 inch angle iron laying around (thank you sis!). So, I made several modifications based on the metal I had.
Also, during the process of building, I realized I just didn’t care whether the bender looked good (such as grinding welds, sanding it down, etc). So, it is what it is. I did have some leftover chrome paint, if not smooth, it is shiny. I’m just waiting for a couple shafts to arrive in the mail and then I can start bending!
UPDATE: A reader would like to have one of these built for their project. See the comment below if you think you know of someone who could do this for them.
I was checking out Four Wheeler the other day and ran across this unusual spare tire carrier. Check out all the pics on this nice CJ-3A at Fourwheeler.com.
The seller needs to sell immediately.
“Have an original 1946 Willy’s Overland Jeep that I must sell ASAP. CJ2A flathead, 4 cylinder, UNRESTORED. 57K miles. In storage. $4800., or best reasonable offers considered. Thanks. Call 978-870-6944”
The price for the jeep looks good. This might be a good price. The trailer is also $2800, which seems a bit high to me.
“Willys jeep and trailer for sale 2,800.00 for jeep and 2,800. for the trailer will sell together for 5,000. runs great good tires. ask for Bill 951-692-2207”
