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 .

Original Post April 26, 2019: Here’s the booklet I won off of eBay.
This youtube video for the jeep station wagon has been around for more than a decade, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it.
I just finished reading The Last American CEO, a book about the transition of ‘Jeep’ from Kaiser-Jeep, to AMC, to Chrysler. The principal character and source of most of the material was Joe Cappy, who was the final AMC CEO before AMC was bought by Chrysler.
Among the book’s more interesting revelations, it argues that if it weren’t for an assassination, that Chrysler might never have purchased AMC.
This cartoon was published in the November 02, 1946, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, page 112.
Chris shared this unusual USMC CJ-5 with the gov plated. Neat find!

“Vintage original 1974 Marine Corps MP Jeep CJ-5 with a clean title (third owner).
Had been stored in a barn for a while but starts, runs, and brakes. Battery is brand-new and the Firestone tires have less than 200 miles on them. Comes with handbooks, additional parts and accessories, spare tire. Has some rusty patches and dings and dents. Good project vehicle. Please examine the photos and videos carefully.”
Someone ought to be able to use this.

“1953 Willys cj3b. Body is garbage as far as for driver or show use. Has the flat head 4 instead of the overhead 4 like what comes in the cj3b. Have the title. Frame appears decent. Has not been ran since early last summer but “should” start/run/drive. If interested I’ll get it running. New gm front disk brake conversion, water pump and gas tank installed about 4 years ago. Needs full resto to be a driver or run on the farm as is.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
It’s got the early windshield, but does not have full floaters. It runs.
“Got to many projects going right now-
1946 Willy’s CJ2A Column shift. Runs & drives, Brakes need going thru-
Frame is Solid, body is pretty good-some spots need attention, floors need a little attention also but are not shot- few patches and they’ll be good.
Turn key and the Go Devil Flat Head starts right up! Has been converted to 12V. But not molested-
I can text a video! I drive it around the yard and up the rd(no brakes)
Looking to see what’s out there for trades- this is valued at around $4000 as it sits- most Column shift Willy’s are in private collections or museums. & this is a VEC has Military tool slots, column shift, square washers, many GPW marked parts. Machine gun mount on the crossmember up under the body!”
Appears solid.
