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 is a very strong 4 cylinder engine that fits well in Willys and flat fender jeeps. This particular engine has VERY high compression due to high performance forged pistons from a DZ302(this 151 is half the size of a 302 with the same bore). It will require high octaine gas!! It was built to run hard while steep climbing at low rpm and has been through the Rubicon numerous times. Additionally, with the combination of this Webber 2 barrel carb this engine can run virtually stait up with out over flooding the floats or stalling out.”

(09/11/2011) This jeep certainly looks nice, but I can see nothing to suggest this is a 1945 CJ-2A. To me it looks like it might be a CJ-3A, but maybe the frame is from a ’45.
“This is a 1945 Willys CJ-2A World War II vehicle with the 4-cylinder gas engine and a 3-speed manual transmission. It was restored about fifteen years ago and has been under boxes in my mother-in-laws garage since. She has driven it maybe 50 miles a summer though has religously started it a couple times a month. The engine puts out 60 horsepower and this Willys weighs about 2200 pounds. It starts right up and drives nice. It does have turn signals and is street legal. 4-wheel drive works and it gets lots of attention everywhere it goes. It is a 2A but does have a 3A windshield. Has original owner’s manual. $13,500”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
(10/02/2009) “Just so you know, I only accept cash payments. In this particular case, the money transaction and transfer of vehicle title will take place at your bank or ours, (your choice) plus proof of insurance required before you drive it off our property. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS MADE!
We have over TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS in this vehicle, and thereby truly understand that JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket!
Due to inheriting another vehicle, plus a lack of enough storage space to keep everything garaged, as well as not wanting to see this vehicle sit unused, we are looking for a new home for this Beauty. We are NOT selling because we need the money, so don’t waste your time or ours if you are not willing to pay the asking price! It is a STEAL at TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS and no less will be considered.
Now is your chance to get a fantastic custom made item worth much, much more for only TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, less than half of what we have in it. (Have a folder full of receipts to prove it) It took 10 long years to put this baby together from parts. The paint job was chosen 2 months before 9-11-2001. (How ironic!) The whole thing was finished and driven the first time right before the first anniversary of 9-11. A newspaper photographer came out and took some pictures and it made the special section the Knoxville News Sentinel did for the 9-11 Anniversary featuring what people were doing to commemorate and remember the tragedy. We have a copy of that paper in our files.
Features include:
Extra Electric Radiator Fan
Chromoly roll cage frame mounted
CV Rear Drive Shaft (custom made)
(? 1983 ?) 4.3 Buick V6 Semi Race Cam Heavy Fly Wheel
Painless Wire Harness
LED Turn Signals
SM 420 Trans + Advance Adapter
Dana 20 Transfer
Dana 30 Front open ‘75
S10 Power Steering
Dana 44 Rear open ‘75
‘70’s Chevy Van Mag Wheels
36 X 1250 TSL Super Swampers
Warn 9500 I Winch
Custom Made Bumpers Front & Rear
Paint & Custom Fab by All American 4 Wheel Drive
Grant Steering Wheel
Metro Geo Seats
Spray Rubber Lining in Interior
Interior Heater Core from Caterpillar Bulldozer
Rear Traction Bars
4 Wheel Disc Brakes
Spring over Conversion
1.5 inch body lift (It had to still fit in garage)
Axel Knuckles cut loose and rotated to 4.5 degrees to allow good front drive shaft angle and proper steering
Custom made rear 6 gallon aluminum gas tank with cushion crash bars to protect it, in addition to under seat plastic 10 gallon gas tank
Hand throttle
Serious inquiries only… PLEASE!
Interested? Rest assured, I delete PROMPTLY when an item is sold. Sorry, I’ve received too much spam to reply to emails. Just call 525-2616 between 8 am and 6 pm to ask about this Jeep.”
Once again, something I couldn’t make up ….
Here is a crazy Snow Cone FJ. I spotted these pictures the other day while looking for the swiss army CJ-5. Steve must have spotted this crazy thing too, because he found the video below.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on Etsy for $40.
” have for sale an old windup toy called the Jumpin Jeep by Marx.. It is tin and from the late 1940’s after the war. It has been well played with and does have quite a bit of rust. The jeep, the front tires and one large tire isn’t that bad and the lithograph design is in good condition with minor rust. There is one large tire that needs to be replaced or repainted. The toy looks as though it was left outside laying on its side with one back tire perhaps in the dirt for some time. The bottom of the toy also shows signs of rust. The key is still present but it has been overwound. It moves a little but I can’t wind it. Overall I would rate it good simply because the lithos are still in pretty decent shape. The size of the toy is 5 1/2″ long about 4 1/2″ tall and 4″ wide from back tire to back tire”
Here’s pictures of a couple other jumping jeeps that realized $210 at auction in 2008.
