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 $200.
“For Sale: A pair of early Willys CJ5 seats. These seats are original (as far as I can tell) and came from a late 1950’s era CJ5. They are in very good, but not mint, condition. Please see the up close pictures for a few imperfections. The back of the passenger seat has a dark mark/line on it, but this is not a hole or cut. Please no texts, calls or emails only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Looks like it has been painted recently.

“1947 Jeep Willys CJ2A near original state. Has the “Go Devil” 4cyl. engine also know as the L-head. With in the last year; new fuel tank, rebuilt starter ( also has a high rev 12v starter for it), rebuilt carb ( still leaks as the of the age recommend replacement), all new wiring with new battery, brakes rebuild except the master which was good at the time. A few years ago the engine was rebuilt runs strong.
Body is not perfect (started to remove paint as it had a bad brush paint job before). Over all good bones for a restore. Or good ranch rig.
As of now it need the seats redone, and a new carb.
HAVE CLEAR TITLE.”
UPDATE: John pointed out that the early GAZ was modeled after the first Bantam. This may well be a restored early GAZ.
Roberto forwarded a link to a celebration in Vietnam that included jeeps. I was checking out the CJ-3Bs and M-606s when I spotted a jeep that looked curiously like a copy of the original Bantam BRC. It’s doesn’t seem to be a perfect copy, but still looks pretty neat. I’ve blown up the pics, so they are a little blurry.

Original Bantam BRC from a similar angle.
Early GAZ
Seth found this photo of a stretched M-38A1 with extra seats parked at a Walmart. Looks like there’s a small sign attached to the beer case that indicates this may be in Virginia near the National Museum of the Marines
.
Appears mostly stock.
