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 does need a transmission, but it does have a new clutch and throwout bearing. New metal body that comes with 2 hoods, and 2 front grills. Many small extra parts and hardware. $4,500 OBO.”

“This is a 1947 cj2a. It is restorable. Has all original equipment. 4 cylender flathead engine. Doesnt run and sold with a bill of sale. I have a top (with doors) and oil bath filter that doesnt come with it but will be sold seprate. The top and doors are 500 and the filter is 50.”
This is a mix of parts.
“I have a willys that was started to be restored a number of years ago and never finished. The frame was painted, new shocks, new brake shoes, wheel cylinders, spring kits, rubber brake lines. Has a military 1952 tub, hood, and grill with the flip head lights from a earlier Ford GPW. I have new windshield rubber and seal, new mirrors, and a few other new parts. There are some extra parts that go with it, front axel shafts, starters, brackets, extra tail gate, and more. It is missing some parts, gauges, tail lights and others. The flat head 4 cyl engine is tight and only good for a core. Radiator and drive shafts are sitting in the jeep. I also have an extra transmission and case with a PTO on it that will go with it. This jeep is in need of lots of work but has a nice body that needs very little work. I have a 46 title with it that was signed so you will also need to fill out a form with the title to transfer it to your name, have had to do a couple like this, not a big deal.
$1400, email or text 7one58five34868
Would trade for good name brand tire changer or 2 bay tool box, Matco or Snapon”

(07/09/2013) It doesn’t run. It’s hard to see much in the pic.
“Willys with solid tub and frame I have a title for it . Two L4 engines in various states of disasembly. Two trans two t cases. Jeep is dented up but very solid you can stomp your feet anywear in side it. Ill talk on it but no low ballers. Engines need work. Good for resto or parts for yours.”
Marc’s from South Africa and forwarded a link to the latest photos of his 1/2-Size CJ-2A project. As you can see, he does some beautiful work. He hopes at some point to tackle a full-size jeep, but for several reasons he’s starting with this project.
You can view all the photos here:

Marc writes, “A quick history. I started the drawings last December to make this, spent months, give or take 6 just doing research for all the related stuff. All the drawings were done the old fashioned way on a drawing board with pencil and set squares. Umpteen trips to a local CJ-2A to measure up. Also got info from all the various jeep sites but I met some if not very harsh or if I may use the word unwelcome altitudes (attitudes) with regard to help for dimensions or tech info to make this from scratch.
Almost all of the structure will be constructed from 0.6 mm cold rolled mild steel, welded where required but most of the assembly will be using airplane fasteners for the ease of assembly thus eliminating the use of any facilities other than my workshop at home. Everything made thus far has been built here at home with forming tools, blocks, press tolls, tuck shrinking and good old fashioned sheet metal work (I am a airplane structures engineer/technician by trade). All joints are primed and wet assembled to eliminate corrosion/rust.
The chassis/frame I have drawn up but will only start once the body/tub has been completed. Wheels will be either 8-inch or 10-inch, I would prefer 8-inch though. As for the power plant a 13Hp Briggs & Stratton will do just fine. All the rest as when I get to them as well.
I painted some internal parts (top hat sections in the tub attached to wheel well) before assembly yesterday in a colour, which is a local colour from the 80″s made by Plascon Paints called Karoo (which is similar to British BS 381 dessert camouflage sand x 2 off & FS 20313, for “Jam” (her name, Jarred and Marc). Trying to get Harvest Tan here in South Africa or a sample to mix to here is near impossible, I would have liked Harvest Tan but looking at historical images and current restorations there is no real “this is what it should be”. But the colour as I now call it ‘dessert pink’ looks good.I will take some pics of the ‘dessert pink’ in natural light and artificial light today or tomorrow. Opinions will certainly vary on this one.
Also I have drawn up the plans for a 1/2 scale Bantam trailer to go with this.
1/2 or full size the memory and history behind this great (if I may say) little vehicle must be kept alive for all to enjoy.”
Dan’s had some extra time lately due to a recent foot surgery. He’s used some of that time to put together a “how-to” on auxiliary gauge restoration for the 1950-56 Wagon, Delivery, and Truck and the 1950-1951 Jeepster. He notes they aren’t ‘perfect’, but are a big improvement.
