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 $3300.

<– Day 3 – Mar. 22nd: Old Bones and Old Jeeps | OVERVIEW | Day 5 – Mar. 24th: Talking Jeeps w/ Worn Rusty Hubbs –>
Here’s our selfie at an overlook just south of Ouray, Colorado. Ann is putting on a brave face for the camera, but she’s very scared in that photo. This overlook hangs over the edge of a steep cliff.
With beautiful blue skies overhead, we started the day in Grand Junction with our sights set on the mysterious Colorado National Monument. Having done no research on it, and trusting Dean’s advice from yesterday, we started at the western entrance of the park near Fruita.
Today we drove from Fruita to Durango.
After the ranger station, the road climbs quickly, switching back and forth, tunneling through rock, and teasing the driver (who should really keep his eyes on the road according to Ann) with beautiful views of the Grand Junction Valley. Those travelers familiar with Southern Utah will instantly recognize the red sandstone walls, the juniper trees, and narrow canyons.
After four miles of driving, we arrived at the visitors center, a complex perched near a canyon wall with a view toward some of the amazing pinnacles that dot the landscape. Inside the visitors center we learned about John Otto, the man that made the Monument happen. His early vision included an amazing road full of switchbacks that would allow cars to traverse the park from one end to the other. Hi dream might not have become a reality had the Depression not happened, for it provided all the cheap labor ($1/day/per person) he need to carve a twenty-three mile road through the park.
After driving the road, it’s my opinion that it is one of the truly unique features of the park. There aren’t many places along the drive that don’t feature beautiful views. It is one continuous bit of eye candy from start to finish.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Wait, that’s not a government issue mask! The three pictured from left to right are: CPL. Arthur Smith of New York City, NY, PFC. Matty Furyal of Detroit, Michigan, and PVT. Carl Carlson of Norwalk, Connecticutt.
“1944- U.S. troops in Italy with a mask of Mussolini attached to the bumper of their jeep.”
As Marc noted to me, the photo appears more likely to have been taken in the late 1940s. Perhaps it was a photo that wasn’t released until 1958?
“You are bidding on an original press photo of Willys Motors Employee in Vintage Jeep. Photo has staple hole top right corner & waving Photo measures 8 x 10 inches and is dated 6/17/1958.”

Listed as a ’48 and a CJ-3A, so unclear if it is a 2A or a 49 or later. It appears to have a replacement body at the very least.

Maybe some value here?

Starts runs and drives… Needs new body but everything that is embossed with WILLYS is in good shape.. Hood, front grill etc..all new brakes and some new lines a few years ago. Frame is SOLID! I have a parts jeep to go with it… No engine and frame is junk! but trans, front and rear axles, original rims. I have the hard top that may go with it depending on the AR and shape!!”

It’s missing the side steps and the parking brake at the very least. It appears to run and drive.
“This is a daily driver that entertains original running gear. Although the numbers have not been matched on the engine it’s believed to be the model L-134 Hurricane. This unit is not overly pretty but an excellent start for a rebuild. New brakes, wheels and very good tires. Every where we go we find ourselves engaged in fun conversation about the “jeep” My ambition was to put it back together to show the 1951 Marine field colors as my wife’s father was a decorated marine during the Korean war campaign. Please serious inquires only,”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
It only gets 11 MPG? That seems a little low to me.
“Selling my mail jeep. It runs and gets 11 miles to the gallon, has a rca sound system. Its a right hand drive. Comes with a full set of chains. Needs some work though. Asking $2000 for it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800

Could use some cleaning, but appears solid.
“I am selling a self assembly aluminum jeep top. It went on a 1946 Willy’s CJ2 Jeep. The sticker on the inside of the jeep top says – Allstate Jeep Body, Model Number 73461111, Sears, Roebuck, and Co. It is $700 or best offer.”
