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 $7000
I think the rear passenger light is out/broken?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6800.
Lots of changes to the CJ-2A. “First things first….my price is NON-negotiable and I am NOT interested in time shares, trades, payment plans, body parts, IOU’s, etc! You are viewing a one of a kind Jeep, whose life began 66 years ago. Recently it received a facelift. Now it is powered by a 1977 V8 304 and sits on a shortened 1977 chassis. Comes with a 4 speed manual and runs like a dream. Also has tilt wheel sporting the Willy’s steering wheel. The stereo sits in a 1947 Army communications bag between the front seats. Also sports power steering which is VERY nice. New SS dual exhaust is remarkably quiet. Running the old style military gauges as well, and all work fine. I have a clear TN title which reflects this as a 1947 Jeep. Although seatbelts were not even thought of in 1947 and therefore not required on this vehicle by law, they have been added for safety sake. 4WD works splendid. Beetle Bailey graphics were added last year and can easily be removed if you buy it and don’t want them. Tires are almost new. Be prepared for plenty of thumbs up and people taking pics with their I-phones. If you don’t like attention, this is NOT the vehicle for you. Does not have turn signals, windshield wipers or a top. Though they could be added, this is more of a seasonal classic that is loads of fun. Pricing it cheap because this is not the optimal time of the year to sell a topless vehicle. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
It looks like the front grille was moved forward to accommodate a Hurricane 6.
“I bought this Jeep 2 months ago, since owning it I have had the radiator rebuilt and replaced points, condensor, plugs. I replaced wiring to the ignition, horn, coil, and voltage regulator. Everything is stock except the original 4 cylinder motor has been replaced with a Willys Super Hurricane 6 cylinder (late 50’s to early 60’s) which is runs good, no leaks or smoke. Interior is in fair condition, the front and rear seats have been re-upholstered. This Jeep starts up and runs fine. I’m only selling because I have a 1964 jeep and don’t need two projects right now. $3800 obo no trades and I do not need help selling this Jeep!! ”
UPDATE: The GPW was reconditioned by Bechtel. It was listed at $7000 earlier this year. There also appears to be an early MB No-Glove-Box body.

Motor has seized.
“I’m selling my 1953 Willy’s jeep, body and drive train are on outstanding condition. The only problem with the Willy’s is that it needs a motor rebuild. Comes with two motors, two trans, two tranfercases. I payed 6,000 for the jeep, taking 2,000 off for the seized motor. Great deal! Please only respond if truly interested. I bought the xtra motor to fix this one. The trans and transfercase are exra. The reason for the engine problems was the oil pick up was clogged and I seized a rod to crank. I do not want to get rid of the beautiful pice of American history but my family come first. Please call me at 9896154327.”

Jerry forwarded this unusual photo of three jeeps on a parade float.
Leo found this photo in the US National Archives. He writes, “I found this incredible picture of an airfield Jeep somewhere in England in WW2. I don’t see invasion stripes on the planes wings, so it must be while training before the invasion june ’44. The C47 Skytrain has its hook lowered and is about to hook on to the towline of the CG4 Waco glider in the front. The radio equipped Jeep is probably guiding the pilot of the C47. It must have been quite a ride to be snatched by a hurtling C47….”
Tim forwarded these pics of an early truck he found outside Mack’s Paint and Body shop in Hartselle, AL. It’s even sporting a Christmas Wreath on the grille.
