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 .

Here’s another 11×17 inch foldout brochure with a “GRIN and BEAR IT” theme. It is Form No DM61-09.

[Editorial note … Friday’s updates have been superseded by this piece. It began as a comment on another site, but roiled into a full essay. Most of you eWillys readers won’t care, but it was something I wanted to say and this is a place where I can say it. Next updates will be Saturday morning.]
I have read with immense interest the stories of the MacBook Pro 17 inchers, those folks that are waiting, against all odds, for another 17” MacBook Pro to appear, something that will require nothing short of a miraculous conception (the comments by these folks are just an example).
I have felt your pain for several years. The recent release of the underwhelming new MBPs, better described as Macbook Airs with MBP colored lipstick, added to my growing frustration with Apple. That event, along with other 17 incher stories, inspired me to write this, not for Apple, but for those folks, in solidarity of their anguish. I feel at this point, we are the true crazy ones, not for any genius we might have, but for holding on when hope seems so far away.
I still use a mid-2010 17 incher I purchased in January 2011. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. At this point I am hard pressed to believe there is a better, more stable, more flexible, and more dependable laptop ever produced. I use it seven days a week (I am a workaholic, sorry honey). I have authored three books (last one over 500 pages), written 30,000 posts on my (not all gloriously rich, but still …), received and answered over a hundred thousand emails (not including spam), manipulated tens of thousands of images, created videos, and built dozens of websites.
I’ve done all this without having a single issue with my mid-2010. Even though my fifty-one year old eyes have aged (I now need reading glasses to see the screen), my laptop still feels as useful as the day I bought it.
At this point, I don’t need another laptop; yet, I would greatly appreciate one that is newer, just for dependability sake.
But, that’s my beef. The product I want no longer exists. I keep asking myself why I came to this dead end. Unsure of how it what happened, I decided that since Apple looked back during their recent presentation, so will I. I’d like to believe that having used Macs since 1986 (my first was a Mac 512ke), I may have some perspective on the history that landed me at this no-man’s land.
Scott just bought this Navy CJ-3A. He was hoping someone could help him learn more about its history based on the Navy plate.
He wrote, “Underneath all that reddish paint is a layer of grey then metal or grey and then o.d green. Windshield bracket last coat is o.d green before I hit metal. It has tags and navy stencil on the tailgate. I need some help figuring out what this jeep used to do. Oh and I got it running with little tinkering. Here are the pictures of the tag and tailgate stenciling. I noticed on the tag where it says USN the ” U ” has what seems to be a ” V ” over it, I’m guessing human error.”
Bruce was wondering if there are any jeep parts swapmeets occurring in the northeast?
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $16,500
Looks nice. Has a Dump-O-Matic dump bed.
“Vintage Willys pick-up. Dump-O-Matic. Original Willys “Hurricane 6″ flat head motor, rebuilt 1000 miles ago with overdrive unit. Rust-free New Mexico truck. All gauges work except for odo.”

(10/09/2016) It looks like it was a good restoration.
“I’m selling my restored 1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. The only reason I’m selling is to fund another purchase. It has had a frame off restoration back around 2006. This is a early production, matching numbers jeep, more desired by collectors. It even has the original serial numbered engine. Every last part was gone through and refurbished or replaced. It has been restored as original as possible down to the original body and wheel colors, 6 volt electrical system, and cloth covered wiring. The body was just repainted very recently. It has a show quality finish. Not even a scratch.
I have only put 4000 miles on the jeep since the restoration. It runs great and I wouldn’t be afraid to drive it anywhere.
I’m tired of people trying to scam me. I will not respond to text messages or email until you call and I know you are a real person. I do not have voice mail, but I will return your call if I miss it.”

Has a few mods.
“1942 ford GPW. Not original but started to put it back that way. New combat rims / tires f marked parts has a willys F head that why the hood is cut. and t-90 trans 11″ brakes new in the spring. Back has been cut for a tailgate. So it’s going to need a rear panel f/r bumpers and welding gas tank lights gpw switches and more. I’ve been looking for parts for the last year. This is from California so little to no rust but does have bondo under the paint. Drives great. May have been a script jeep need to run the numbers. Have almost 7,500 invested. Make me an offer or trade (not going to give it away) could be nice for parades or finish the restoration.
If you have original gpw parts , hood, motor trans, 1919a4 or riffle mounts let me know. May purchase from you to finish this one.”
