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 $500.

(12/09/2012) This doesn’t run. The drain holes and the tool box are gone. This might have been through a floor replacement.

This has been rhino-lined on the outside.
“I am selling my beloved Jeep. a 1949 CJ 2A The engine was rebuilt two years ago and is very solid, starts every time. Solid trans and four wheel works great low and hi range. A custom made aluminum um 10 gallon fuel cell. Tires are Kumho tires less than two years old, a full roll cage, large brush guard with lights and a second set of tires. The entire Jeep is rhino lined inside and out. This jeep is not perfect but has not let me down. I purchased the Jeep in 2010 and have used it as a hunting vehicle. I had plans on completely restoring it but just never got around to it. I hate to sell it but need to.”
From page 1 of the India-Burma Theatre Roundup Newspaper comes this unusual photo featuring a jeep and men loading and testing rockets juxtaposed with a picture of a jeep as ambulance.

The buy-it-now price is only $8500. This needs a few things, but is a solid start for a nice restoration.
“his is a 1948 Willys Jeepster. It has overdrive. The Engine is original and runs great with no problems. Was rebuilt 10 years ago. The tranny shifts with no problems. I do not have the air filter, or radio. The car is currently painted Yellow/Black. It is an original Maroon car. The interior on the car is in great shape. No rips in the seats.
