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 .
Rich spotted this model. It’s a bit pricey.

These are a set of instructions and the schematics to build a SEEP (GPA).
“Vintage 1940s era 1/2 inch scale model of the U.S. Army Amphibian Jeep or Quack, produced by MOD-AC Manufacturing Company of Los Angeles. Included in the auction are two remaining pieces of the Jeep’s original die cut cards – nothing else remains from the set. Found in an old box of model pieces, the schematics / assembly instructions for this stood out as frameable art, especially for the lover of short-run Jeeps. The assembly instructions are printed only on one side – what you see is what you get. The cards measure about 8-1/2″ long, the instructions, about 15-1/2″ wide and 10-1/2″ tall. The instructions have been folded for almost 70 years, and have no stains or major rips, but there are some pin-size holes and a little damage in one area to the paper, probably from handling or from insects.”
Here’s evidence that Barbie wasn’t the only one with a Jeep!

The seller notes this is one of a kind, despite not knowing what type of toy this is. This looks like a cross between a troop MB/GPW carrier and a CJ-3B. Anyone recognize it?

Walter spotted this. I wonder if this was really a Navy Shore Patrol Jeep or whether it was made to look like that later. It looks solid though.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Runs, but needs brakes fixed. No title.
“I’ve got a 1942/43 willy’s mb jeep. It’s got a 1942 “wilson foundry” gpw engine built in late 1942. These engines are worth at least $1500 on there own. The body number is early 1943. After researching things, alot of jeeps built in 42 were put together with whatever parts they had around. They’re called “salad” jeeps as they just tossed them together. The jeep does not have a title, just a bill of sale which is what it will be sold with. Engine runs great, and clutch, transmission, transfer case and such work good. It needs brake work.(master cylinder and wheel cylinders) to be driveable. It’s a really cool jeep, and a neat piece of history. Wish I had the time and money to complete this project, but I don’t so on to someone who can. E-mail me with any questions. Thanks, Mark”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
It runs, but needs some work. The rille looks ’46. The crossmember looks updated.
“I am selling a 1947 Willys Jeep 1948 CJ2A for $2800. The Jeep runs but needs a few items to be road worthy. The water pump needs replaced, I have the parts just have not installed. The brake system needs some work. I have about all the parts that it needs except shocks to get up and running. I have multiple fenders, hood, new windshield, new tires, and to many other parts to mention. I traded for this vehicle from a friend but have not had the time to do anything to it, too many other projects.”
UPDATE: This was priced at $8500 but sold. It was then priced at $14,500 minus the stickers. In is now sold.
(10/29/2012) Rear PTO with Drum. Looks beautiful. I think this will go quickly at this price.
“Recently restored with rear PTO and Belt pulley, many new parts with manuals. Military tires, well documented restoration with all receipts. Good Title and paperwork. Nice Jeep original 6 volt system. 94 miles on odometer. ”
Here is the same jeep when available for sale in late October of 2012.
No pics provided.
“1946 Willys Jeep, totally rebuilt flathead 4 engine purrs like a kitten and only has 5 hours on it! Clutch has the same amount of time on it. Hi-Low in both 2 and 4WD. Body is super solid as previous owner welded in all new steel. Runs and goes great but needs brakes. It comes with extra parts: heads, manifolds, etc… Looking to sell or trade for a school bus or motorhome. I will try to take pics tomorrow.”
