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 $2625
This looks in good shape.

Isn’t the front bumper mounted upside down? Not that it is a big deal, but just wondering.
“This 1946 jeep has to be seen to be appreciated. It has had everything replaced from wiring to brake lines. The emergency brake has been completely rebuilt and has the original 134 engine that has also been rebuilt. All new gauges, fuel tank ,fuellines, lights, tires, and rhino lined under and inside. It also has a roll bar. The upholestry needs to be replaced but I have a place in Texas that does the original front and rear. You really must see this to appreciate. ”

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. Runs great. Body rebuilt by the Sears Oil Company in Rome, New York using heavy gauge steel. Plow included and the all brakes work. It has been converted to 12 volt system. This Jeep was used by Rome Memorial Hospital in the 2012 Honor American Day Parade that is why is it painted on Military colors. I am asking $2000.00 and at that price I am breaking even on what I have into it so the price is firm.”
This looks solid.

Yes, the readers of “Finding Virginia” now span from the Northern reaches of Norway, thanks to Even, and to the Southern region of South Africa, thanks to Claus. There are even a few books at points in between the two!
Even wrote to tell me he was sharing his copy of my book with a friend of his named Reider Haugen. He added, “Reidar is among many Jeepers in Norway that keep himself updated with Ewillys every day He is also one of the members of Flatfender Fellows here in Norway. I brought my sample of “Finding Virginia” for him to have a look as you see from the picture.
Reidar is almost done with his very nice Willys Utility Delivery with a GM engine and some Scout parts underneath. This is going to be a nice daily driver next to his Willys Pickup Truck sporting a Volvo engine. Remember we are close to the Swedes . . .
In the middle you can see my Jeep Cj-7 Golden Eagle that I have owned for excactly 24 years today.
Now you know how far your book has spread around the world! We both wanted to thank you for the best webpage ever for us Jeep-enthusiasts”
Thanks guys, I love the picture!
Buz spotted this nice DJ-3A used by the Look Park Police in Florence, MA, from 1957 to 1986.
You can see more images of it here: http://policecarwebsite.net/yet/rwcar4s/lookpark.html
This DJ-3A was also mentioned in a cj2apage forum as well.
This picture was taken early this year by CTROADDOG and posted to FLICKR.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Post Cereals had a set of Hopalong Cassidy cards in 1951 and Roy Rogers cards in 1952 and 1953. The only card that included a jeep appears to have been Card #4 of the 1953 set, which shows Pat Brady and His Jeep.
