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 Make Offer.
Maybe a CJ-3A with a 2A windshield?
“1949 Jeep Willy! Good condition classic Jeep”
This might be worth a look.
“I have owned this car since 1993 , has always been under cover and rarely driven. The paint is 6 years old and still shines. There is no rust on this car. The custom cloth upholstery is like new . The chassis is original and has been rebuilt. The V-8 Oldsmobile engine is a mid 50’s 324 cu in 340 lb torque and runs very strong. The automatic transmission is the 4 speed hydromatic of that area and shifts clean and hard. This is a fun car to drive. There are still a few odds and ends to contend with but it is road worth and starts easily. You are invited to view the car before making offers. If this add is still here it is still for sale. The top is new as well as the side curtains(window).”

This is another CJ-5/CJ-3A combined body.
“1949 Willy Jeep CJ3A body mounted on a 1955 CJ5 frame. It has a 225-V6 with a 3spd Transmission. The front axle is a Dana 27 and the rear axle is a Dana 44. The frame is perfect and the body is good. This is a project vehicle and currently does not run or drive. It’s been in dry storage since 1980. All of the major parts are there to complete. If your looking for a Jeep project this is a great opportunity. ”

Franziska Gygax shared pics of this jeep on Facebook. He wrote, “Was made by Kaspar Gut a swiss carosserie maker. In the back is place for 4 swiss milk cans. And on the weekend you rebuilt the back to 1 seat for 2 people“
Lots of jeep action. They drive the jeeps pretty hear near the end. At about the 8:30 mark there some hard driving video. The jeeps were bouncing pretty hard!
From archive.org: “Not the greatest film quality. National Archives description: “A 4.2″ mortar fires high explosive and phosphorus shells which explode on targets. Transportation of mortar and ammunition in large truck (10 men-10 rounds) is compared with that of a jeep towing a trailer bearing a mortar and ammunition (2 jeeps-6 men-48 rounds). Jeep and trailer units are tested at various speeds and on all types of terrain, fire mortars from barge landing craft as an island is approached, drive off barge, and are freed from ditches and other obstacles by their crews.”
