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 $2950.
The rear cargo bed appears patched or may just be protected. This may be worth a look.
“1947 CJ2 Reconditioned engine with reground crankshaft, new bearings, new valves, piston rings, seals and gaskets. All new ignition parts. Converted to twelve volts. Invested over a thousand dollars in new parts. Cash price $2.950.”
UPDATE: Eric got a pic of this jeep. He reports, it is a ’48 CJ2a with Chevy 283. Front axle, transmission (original, I think), brakes upgraded or rebuilt about 20 years ago. 12 volt. Not driven in 10 years, outside only 1 year. Will need tires, battery. Very nice man named Greg.

This doesn’t look in good shape. It’s missing a motor.
“1948 Jeep CJ 2 – Stock #1499
Good one to rebuild. This is a CJ 2 with the 4 speed transmission and 4 wheel drive. Motor is out but is included as is the steering column. Has some floor rust and cowl rust but very repairable. Good North Dakota Title and delivery is available.”

Steve spotted this clock. Someone has one of these listed for $799 on eBay.
“New Jeepster clock still in Jeep box. Doesn’t have a mounting base.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
Walter forwarded this link. It looks like part of the door has been indented or punctured, but that’s where the gas filler is located. There’s a much nice one at Barrett Jackson for less that includes a trailer: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=624&aid=283
“1964 Kaiser Jeep 151A1. $12,000OBO UNCUT”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
The tub appears in good shape. This looks like a light fiberglass model, maybe acme or AJs?
“Fiberglass jeep tub $1200 o.b.o”
Thanks to Warren for forwarding this lead. Perhaps it is more accurate to call these mini-jeep trains, but just outside Freeport, Maine, there is a CJ-5 and CJ-7 that still pull tourists in a tourist-trailer around the sand (which I think they call ‘narrated coach tours’). You can learn more about them here. I managed to find a few photos of them on Flickr. It looks like there are two different coaches.

Jack Thompson was willing to share this vintage image. It shows a Willys truck in front of Mutts in Myrtle Beach. If you’d like a copy for some reason, email me.

Gerald spotted this jeep ring sold by Fast Eddie’s Jewelry. You can find them on Facebook. They will custom make all kinds of rings. Hmm .. not sure I have a category for this topic!

Nick spotted what appears to be a very original CJ-3A. This may be a very unique find.
“This jeep has been in our family since 1951! It is a Willys (civilian) and has NOT been modified. Color is dark green with a custom vinyl white top, doors, seats and back window coverings. The battery is new. Includes trickle charger. The tires are original. Second brake light added. All parts are available.
