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 has both a tilt hood and a dump bed. It’s a project.
“Selling my project. Haven’t been spending enough time on it so I thought I would go ahead and put it on here. Willys cab and bed. Chevrolet frame and running gear. Tilt hood and hydraulic dump bed. Needs finished. Lots of extra parts. Cash offers or consider trade for a 4wd utility type atv.”

It runs.
“I have a 47 Willys Jeep. It is rough and beat up. No title. Old ranchers lost it years ago. I have had it for 3 years. The ranchers had it 45 years. It has a newer overhead valve jeep engine in it. It will run if you can get it started. I think the starter is finally caput! No idea what fuel tank they put in the back is out of and I made a milk crate seat. Last time I was able to start it the engine purrs like a kitten. Fwd works. For some reason there is something cool about it. I call it, Drivable yard art! CASH ONLY! I WILL NOT RESPOND TO TEXT!”

UPDATE: Seller will take offer. Was priced at $1500.
This has a modified windshield. Here’s one that looks identical and another and one other. I don’t know if this means someone manufactured these custom windshields or it is just coincidence. It also appears to have a set of rare Cutlas “Bulldog” hubs.
“I have this willys and I need the cash. It doesn’t have the hood and basically it’s perfect for a project. Lost paperwork but a lien sale will be the best option. I’m asking 1500 but make me an offer. ”

Has potential, but why does a seller at the very least not buy a $5 tarp to cover a vehicle they think is worth $10,000 ?
“1949 willys jeep. Runs good. Asking $10,000 or best offer.”

UPDATE: Still Available. This could be a neat find if NOS.
“This is a brand new, freshly opened, original hard top for a M38-A1Willys Jeep. This is not an after market product or reproduction, it is an original. This hidden treasure has not seen the sunlight since 1954 when it was made.”

It’s not clear how much of the jeep (or more than one jeep) is for sale. Only the one pic below provided.

We enjoyed our night of camping at Oregon’s Cottonwood Canyon State Park so much that we are going to spend a second night there. We had the place to ourselves last night. The purposefully primitive camping sites (no power/water/sewer/cell) are spread out, so even if this place was full, it would be pleasant. Here’s one photo. I’ll report more on this Sunday morning.
UPDATE: This was previously published in July of 2014.
This great article from the July 1947 issue of W-O Sales News highlights the use of jeeps as ice-cream distributors and as a diaper service. Companies highlighted include Better Brands Ice Cream Novelties, Swell Time Ice Cream Corporation, and Wee Folk Laundry.
