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 .

“For sale is a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ 2A. I have owned it for over 20 years but just don’t use it anymore. I was hoping that my daughter would want to drive it but nope. Fairly stock. Original flathead engine, transmission, transfer case and axels. Installed rancho 2.5” lift when I got it because the stock springs were opening up. Installed 11” brakes on the front. Newer radiator a few years ago. Just replaced the wheel cylinders on the front and the master and the rubber lines in the last couple months. Also installed a new distributor in the last couple months with electronic points-less system. New high torque starter. The fuel tank has some rust in it and needs to be cleaned or replaced because the fuel line plugs up. Just ordered one and will be delivered next week. Just replaced the starter and solenoid.”

(01/26/2020) Lots of work still to be done. The ad includes a pic of a completed jeep, but I assume that’s just being used as an example.

The June 1943 issue of Motor Magazine out of Buenos Aires, Argentina, featured this introduction to the jeep on its front page. I snagged this copy off of eBay in December and it finally arrived. The 24-page magazine printed on newspaper covers a wide range of automotive subjects, most far above my rudimentary Spanish. I’m pretty surprised any of these survived!
Here are the first two pages (the only two that included the jeep as far as I could tell):
Also included in the magazine was this ad(?) featuring a jeep.
