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 $5100.
The body appears sound.
“1948 Willys Jeep 4 x 4. Great rust free body; partially restored with many maintenance parts (have all the receipts). All original sheetmetal and in great shape. Low miles. Available anytime to show it. Please respond with your contact info”
Looks like a nice roll cage.
“This is an original 1947 Jeep Willy body (I may be wrong on the year, I do know it’s in the mid 1940’s though). It has been sitting on the property for years and will never become a project for us. It’d be great to see someone build this beauty. As you can see from the pics it has some gauges, original fold down windshield, among other things. I didn’t bother cleaning it up to show because if you’re looking for a project like this that wouldn’t make any difference anyway. Also have the frame for it too. It was attached, but to move it down here from WA it had to be separated. The frame isn’t included in this add because we may try to sell it seperately unless someone makes a reasonable offer for both. Asking $750 for the body/obo. If you are interested or would like to see it you can text or call me anytime at 623-565-1892, my name is Don (text works best for me).”

Wayne points out that the skid plate was optional. This is one nice Renegade (though an imperfect restoration to stock). My only question about this is the lack of the protective skid plate underneath the gas tank that bolts between the back of the frame and the cross member in front of the tank (something my 1973 CJ-5 had). (here’s a stainless steel version of what I mean)
“This week Canyon State Classics brings to market an awesome example of a 1974 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade in stunning condition inside and out. This Jeep was bought brand new at Galloway Motors on October 3rd, 1973 by Mr. Thomas Payne of Tucson. This Jeep has Southwest desert area its whole life and is completely solid and rust-free, and still retains its all original steel tub with no patch work. This little CJ has just come out of the collection of a 35 year Jeep dealer and expert who just recently completed a full frame off restoration on this gorgeous CJ-5. He stated that he believes the miles are original at under 40k, as he knows the Jeep was off the road for the better part of 25 years before the restoration. The vehicle has been carefully restored to like new condition!”
