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 .
I spotted the cover of the February 1948 issue of Home Craft Magazine here. I’d like to find an issue to more closely examine the article and the plans. I haven’t found an issue for sale yet.
John spotted this one. The seller notes this jeep was hit by a projectile. Maybe there is more information on the backside of photo? It certainly got hit with something.

(12/14/2013) Don’t usually see a diamond plate bumper on these.
“1945 Jeep Willy’s Military Jeep.”
This pic seemed appropriate given dark and snowy weather around me. Craig says this was in the June 1957 issue of Willys News.
I spotted this article about slinging a jeep on LoanSentry.com. Apparently, during WW2 the folks in the 881st Ordnance were slinging plenty of jeeps, enough that they created a system for it and published the results in
You can view a variety of the ordnance documents at vmpa.ordnanacereproductions.com. It looks like a cool resource.
Craig spotted this unusual model. This has got to be rare.
“Up for bid is a mini lindy Gypsy Van new and factory sealed.”

“This 50 Willys is an excellent example of an unrestored, well cared for vintage car. I have just replaced the master cylinder and wheel cylinders, so it stops great. This car is all original and runs great with the 4 cyl standard shift. Wide Whites make this car look great. The hood has been painted at some point, but matches quite well. I guessed at the milage, I will have to take a look.
Good old original Willys – Great shape considering the age. This is a rare find in this original condition. Excellent for a frame up restoration, if that is what you want to do. I like em old and patina’d. The hood looks to have been painted at some point, other than that, just well kept old car. Everyone loves a station wagon, I get compliments on it always. The price is obviously negotiable. Make me an offer ! The Willys does have a new master cylinder and wheel cylinders since I purchased it. Runs, drives and now stops very well. Make me an offer, you never know.
Video of when the car was at the dealer I bought it from. Go to youtube.com and search for 1533 50 willys final”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7700

The engine was installed, but hasn’t been started.
” This is my pride and joy for the past couple of years and now am ready to let someone else finish and enjoy. Its a older replacement m38 md Juan tub on a 1962 jeep cj frame and springs. The tub is in good shape with absolutely no rust. It is bare metal throughout and needs paint and possibly some body work depending on what you want to end up. There is a large dent in the cowl but I have a tub with a good section for this repair. The windshield frame is rust free but the tube arms have been removed and flat steel welded in. Its functional but not stock. I have a new windshield gasket and locking strip but no glass. It has newer lift springs with new shackles and bushings. There are fabricated u bolt skid plates installed. The frame has been blasted and powder coated an orange color/light red. It has also been strapped top and bottom and on the sides. This is as bullet proof as a stock frame gets. I installed a rear tank with a new fill hose. It has a disc brake dana 30 front end out of an 1983 jeep cj5. The rear is a 19 spline dana 44 that has had all new bearings and seals. The tires are 33×12.50×15 that are roughly half and the wheels are brand new 15×8 black cragars. The transmission is a t90 and the transfer case is a dana 18 twin stick both of which I rebuilt myself. The seats are out of a newer honda and in decent shape with minor wear on the back. I installed hanging pedals and a tilt column as well. I had the column totally gone through so no slop and it operates like it should. The master cylinder, clutch master and the clutch slave are all brand new. The front calipers and pads are new. It has all new brake lines run and functioning. The engine is a 140 3.0 mercruiser that has been totally rebuilt and never fired. I added power steering and a hei distributor. The carburetor is brand new as well. I have a receipt from the shop that tore the engine down and inspected everything before I installed it.”
