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 not in the best of condition, but it is unusual.
“Up for auction is a brightly patterned tropical shirt featuring images of Jeeps, vans, trucks and woody wagons. There are palm trees, surfboards and smiling dogs also featured. The shirt is used and made of 100% cotton, so it is faded from washing and may have shrunk even though the tag says Size Large. It has short sleeves and a polo-shirt like button-up front opening. This shirt will look equally good worn by a man or a woman. ”
No pics provided. This ad was posted at the MVPA’s classified site.
“One of 1500 experimental vehicles authorized by the U.S. government, and built by Ford Motor Co in early 1941, prior to our involvement in WWII, when Bantam BRC and Willys MA also competed for the contract, eventually awarded to Willys, who built hundreds of thousands of the standardized ¼ ton 4×4 military jeeps.

“You are bidding on a very original 1952 Willys Jeep CJ3A. This little ranch jeep has been in the same family over 50 years. It is very complete, original, and does run, drive, and stop. It also has a clear title.
This jeep has been in indoor storage for a number of years and just recently has been tuned up. The jeep received a new battery, plugs, soft carburetor rebuild and adjustment, fluids, and fuel system flush. The brakes were also gone through and the master cylinder rebuilt. The jeep comes with the newer tires shown on the jeep as well as a full set of 5 originals.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
This jeep has rhino liner on the interior and exterior.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A in good shape. Original 4 cylinder flat head engine. I have had the body sandblasted, inside and outside…then sprayed with Rhino Bedliner, then painted. I have the windshield and various other parts. I have owned this jeep for 45 years. I can answer all of your questions on the history of the jeep. I do not “have to” sell the jeep. I think it is worth the $6500 I am asking for it. Thanks for looking.”
