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 .
Mike is looking for a f-head distributer for a 1963 f-head motor. He doesn’t want the new type. 12 volt points. Email him at mikester51@comcast.net for more info.
UPDATE: Status Unknown
(06/04/2010) DKW Mungas were sold in the USA by Studebaker, along with Mercedes-Benz. Here are a variety of images of the Munga. Munga is the German Acronym for “Multi purpose Universal Cross-country Car with All-wheel drive”.
“1958 DKW Auto Union Audi Jeep 3=6 Munga Gelandewagen 3cyl 2 stroke FWD/4X4. VIN 68602889. Miles 24,579. NATO Peacekeeping Jeep. FWD 4X4 3cyl/ 2 Stroke. This rare piece of post war history is a DKW / Auto Union Military jeep which was later used in civilian production. This car came to Seattle in 1982 from Palo Alto, California where it had lived for decades. It was driven regularly in the 80’s and sold with a DKW collection and put in dry storage until now. It is believed complete and also has many spares including a good crankshaft, which is an important item on this car. We have taken many parts out of the car to show condition of the body, but we will load it for the purchaser and carefully package it. As you can see the car is partialy disasembeld and it does not run.
The Auto Union was the collaboration of DKW, Audi, Wanderer and Horch
These vehicles are extremely nimble, and will climb a very high grade. They rev like crazy, and are a hoot to drive. Front wheel drive to four wheel drive on the fly, they are nearly impossible to get stuck in. 3 cylinder two stroke with only seven moving parts in the engine, there are strong parts clubs overseas and in the U.S. These are a fabulous conversation piece, and can be used instead of a golf cart at a car show or auction site. Very collectible and priced to sell. Nice restoration project. There are several owners clubs in the world and parts are accessable.”
UPDATE: Javier purchased this and plans to restore it.
It might not be all original, but it appears mostly original.
“1943 WWII era Ford Jeep. This vehicle is all original and was running great when parked about five years ago. This is an all original military jeep and will make a great addition for a collector, or a good deer lease buggy. Need to sell this weekend. $2500 OBO.”
Here’s a rare GTB, though it looks odd without the bed. Ok, ok, it looks odd even when it has the bed!
“
1943 Ford GTB 4X4 Navy cargo truck, known as the “Burma Jeep”, no bed, needs restoration, runs good, $2000.”

This appears solid as best as I can tell.
“1942 Ford Jeep GPW. Classic. Recently rebuilt engine. Body is good and sound. Engine runs good. More pictues availabe upon request. Make an offer.”
http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/1985661402.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500 for both.
“2 1947 Willys CJ2A jeeps both run and drive, 1 converted to 12 volt, only one title! 850.00 a piece or 1500.00 for the pair, if no answer leave message will get back to you a.s.a.p”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600. Has a Koenig hardtop.
(12/30/2008) Here’s a parts jeep.
“Old non running jeep, has a 283 1962 chevy engine in it,last time ran about 8 years ago, always ran great, but has not been used since then”
Maybe someone could use this?
“I have a PTO that is in very good shape. Has been in my garage on a shelf for about 2 years. Asking $200 obo. Call 304-276-4188 or email.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(10/06/2009) “Two early Willys jeeps. One is an “Army jeep,” and may be a very rare variant made by Willys in 1946 for the Coast Guard, and the other is a definitely a ’46 CJ2A (it has a nameplate). From my purely novice viewpoint, it looks a lot like the CJ2A, but I’m selling it without claiming it to be any particular model. I just don’t know myself to be able to say. It has “battle wheels and tires.” I do know both are 1940s models (everyone seems to agree on that point) and the army one had a PTO (it has a pillow block in the original bumper) in the front and has an odd-ball “government-issue” hitch and tow-bar. The CJ2A is complete incl. engine, the other is minus the engine, but the rest of the drivetrain appears complete. Both need a fair amount of work if the buyer wants to restore them to original, but you could probably get a running jeep in a full weekend of work, maybe less. There is enough here to get one complete, running jeep and have a fair boneyard left over. The bodies are, as these things are generally found, both pretty good. I had gotten these intending to make one out of both, but have been told they are collectible and it’s probably best not to do that. I don’t have the time or really, the interest or desire, to restore them myself. I’ve checked eBay, etc., and know that these are not just “old jeeps,” so please, no low-ball offers.”
