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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
(08/24/2010) This appears in good shape. I suspect it’s an older restoration.

UPDATE: Still Available
(09/02/2010) I’d like to see a better image of the top. I don’t think I’ve seen one of these. This thing sports some big front and rear bumpers, too.

UPDATE I’m not shocked that this is still available
(08/20/2010) This poor jeep. I’m pretty sure this is a CJ-3A rather than a 1945 military jeep.
“here is a 1945 willys military jeep that was titled in 1951. back then military jeeps didn’t have titles. If you bought one back then it could be titled when registered. It does not run anymore ( motor is stuck ). The body is rusted bad but it has the original drivetrain . 500.00 obo”

Take one Tundra Truck, plugin your Sawzall and, viola, you too can have a vehicle like this ….
Paul spotted this strange creature. It wasn’t until I saw the last picture that I discovered it was a Tundra Truck.
Paul writes, “The Goddess and I went out to eat yesterday evening (it was another one of those all you can eat and keep down places) and while walking across the parking lot I saw a modified Toyota extended cab pickup truck. This truck had California plates on it so I guess the driver had a bit of bad luck on the drive north because the damage to the body was substantial. Along with every sheet metal panel being dented, yards of tape were used to keep the headlights from falling out, the windshield and hood were missing and actually the entire top had been cut off so there were goggles hanging in the cab for the driver and passengers use. A small rear view mirror was attached to the steering column but the best touch was a bible resting on the transmission hump [editors note: If i were driving this, I might want a bible nearby, too].”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Runs and drives …
“i have a 1948 jeep willys cj2a all original for sale or trade, it has a low mile 4 cylinder engine that runs great, it is a 3 speed manual trans, 4×4 which works good, does have some rust but very straight for its age, this jeep does run and drive but needs a float for the carb and brake work easy fix, i have the window frame with good glass and the rollbar, also have the metal frame for the soft top and soft doors”
The body looks a little work.

This appears pretty complete, though the body appears rough.
“1945. Needs work. Very close to starting”

(06/15/2010) This jeep has seen a few updates.
“1942 Willys off-road jeep. It was converted 3 yrs ago to a Chevy 4.3L V-6, Ford T-18 transmission with sought after 6.32-1 granny gear and Dana 18 transfer case. Axles are a 3/4 ton Dana 44 front with detroit locker and a Dana 60 rear. They have both been completely rebuilt and narrowed with Moser axles and bearings, Heavy duty Tom Woods drive shafts front and rear with a CV style u-joint on rear. This is one of few Willys Jeeps that have been converted to coil spring with front and rear triangulated suspension. It has a awesome, smoothe off road ride with incredible articulation with no bindage. It has dual exhaust, edelbrock carb, power steering, 33” Thornbirds, hydraulic clutch, and a large marine battery. Has a massive 200 amp alternator to run 1000 watts of lights and a Warn 9000 winch with a removable cradle to plug in front and rear. The entire drive line since new only has a couple thousand miles on it and has never been street legal or taken to the beach. This Jeep has only been used in the Winter on a 200 acre deer lease for the past few years and stored inside during the summer. I’m no longer paying the high prices for deer leases and decided to sell my Willy and buy a street legal CJ7. Im firm on the 7000 and if it doesn’t sell, I’ll just convert it to street legal. (979)239-8862 ”
