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 .
This has an overdrive, runs and stops. MIght not be a bad price.
“1951 Willys CJ3A. Well hammered/ rusty but runs better than it looks. Has overdrive, good tires and brakes. Driven regular. Hate to sell. Vince 818-371-5377located Mojave,CA”

This is advertised as a ’45, but I see nothing to verify this.
“This Jeep RUNS & DRIVES!!! Needs a charged battery & Gas when you come to look at it. Start button on the floor it was my husbands’s jeep. Only thing it needs is an oil change and a shock stem needs to be welded back on it on drivers side. Other than that needs some touch ups to the seats and a new paint job. (As far as I know) Text Only about this Jeep. I will not answer phone calls, unless I tell you otherwise. 435-219-2878”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(08/17/2010) “All original except the motor is now a 225. Runs great,has full hard top with doors and all glass along with pto drive to the front koenig winch.”
This looks solid.
“It’s stock except for the engine, which is a rebuilt 4 from a much newer CJ5, which really improves the mpg. It’s in great shape (my opinion, of course), fully licensed and insured, and perfect for an around town joyrider. Everything works except the horn button and the parking brake, but “everything” is a pretty small list.
There’s no radio or turn signals or wipers or top. Those were extra cost options in 1947. I will include a wiper motor and turnsignal switch, also a Willys horn button kit.
Those can be your first projects!!!
Remember, this is a vintage truck, and it drives like one. This is not a car for Martha Stewart fans. This is for the folks who watch Wheeler Dealers and Overhaulin.
I got it because I’m a tinkerer. I love working on old machines. To me, a well spent Saturday would include getting under the hood and messing around with wrenches.
But now, we’re moving, and I won’t have room at the new place.
If you want something that’s fun to drive, and will bring out your inner grease monkey, this is for you. If you’re serious about buying, give me a call and we can take a test drive around my neighborhood, and discuss. I’m located just south of Portland and east of Milwaukie near the intersection of Webster and Thiessen. Give me a call at 5 zero 3 9 zero 8 zero 9 zero zero.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
This might be a franken-jeep, based on the description.
“1947 CJ2A Willy Jeep flat head 4four engine and back half of Wrangler.”
If you just need to push snow, this might be a good option.
“1960 Willys Jeep. Runs great, Hydraulic switchblade plow, skid plates, PTO, fiberglass tub. One owner for the past 20 years.”

Not too surprisingly, the General George S. Patton Museum, at Fort Knox, Kentucky, has a few jeeps. I read that the museum was supposed to be relocated to Fort Benning, GA, but I don’t know if that happened or not yet.
The two jeeps below are supposed to be part of the museum. If there are others, I didn’t run across any photos.
One unusual model at the museum is a Constabulary Jeep, which was part of the Constabulary Force in Europe following World War 2. You can read more about this Force here.
This picture was taken by Patrick Keenan and posted at warwheels.net, where there are several more photos from different angles.
The museum also has his Division Commander (Major General) jeep. You view more pictures from the warwheels.net site as well.
