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 .
Steve spotted this ad for those do-it-yourselfers who wanted to add louvers to their hoods called the FORM-A-LOUVER. I still haven’t found an advertisement for aftermarket louvered flatfender hoods. Maybe they were all custom made?
Rob forwarded me a pic of his Hallmark jeep ornament. I found one just like it on eBay.
If you have an interesting jeep ornament, take a picture of it and send it to me (d@ewillys.com)
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I cannot attest to the accuracy of the seller’s claims, but a kitchen on wheels is always a hit with me!
“Original Czech Army field kitchen. This one has been fully restored to working condition. Has been converted to propane burners, new receiver, new wiring and lights. Made to tow out to the field and cook lots of grub for the troops. Has a gasoline burner that heats the 2 rear pots. The third pot can be used to keep the food warm.”
Anyone recognize this harness?
“We found this while cleaning out my fathers estate. I believe it MAY be a wiring harness but I am not to sure. The condition is as you see it pictured. This device was not, will not and cannot be tested as I wouldn’t have the foggiest idea on how to do so. The cord as well as the rest of the attachments are very HEAVY! Due to the nature of this auction and my blatant lack of knowledge of these kinds of artifacts in general, I have started the bidding low with no reserve. This apparatus is being offered on an as-is and/or as-found basis. If however you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability.”

This is such an oddball, that I thought if it was military, someone might see value in it.
“Here we have for your bidding pleasure is a 1945 GMC Military Truck equipped with an original Leroi Air Compresser unit and a sandblast pot, we were told from a person who has had some knowledge of older military trucks that there were just under 1100 of these units built for the war and they were used in the construction and maintenance of bridges during that time. As far as we know the truck is all original as it was made and as we were also told that they where constructed between the years of 1940 to 1942, we do have the original books for the aircompresser unit and some other literature pertaining to the truck itself, it has been sitting for about 7 years and we were told by the facility we received it from that it was in running condition at that time, as of right now you are buying it not operable, as one can see by the pictures it is all complete including the front winch, all tires are in fair shape, we have filled the front tire up that was flat in the pictures and it has held air for a couple of weeks now, this truck we feel is very rare find and how many are really left?? We do have a transferable registration, we can also load on any truck or trailer that one may have. If any one has any questions please do not hesitate to call 315-635-9981 and we will answer and or return all calls, cash upon pickup or bank wire transfer is the only means of payment we will accept so thank you for looking and good luck!!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
“1961 willys wagon with a straight 6 and manual transmission. Engine starts and turns over, but it needs someone with some mechanical skills to fix a few things. It has a plow and a winch. the winch is a PTO winch and is very heavy duty. It would be a great truck for someone who needs a plow, or needs a work truck. I dont have a title and it will probably need to be towed out of the yard.”
UPDATE: Back on eBay
(10/25/2012) This is a nice looking combo.
“1962 Willy’s pickup with matching willy’s trailer included, trailer is from approximately the 1950’s. Original equipment body, frame, 5 rims, glass, front bumper, and much more. New gas tank and sending unit. Things that need fixing include temperature gauge, gas gauge, wipers system and some oil leaks. Most everything else works fine but could use more attention. The engine clutch and back bumper are from a 1974 Chev 1/2 ton truck and the engine runs well. I do not deliver, buyer is responsible for making arrangements to get the vehicle. The paint looks nice but the paint preparation was not all professionally done so there are areas of the body work that are not smooth. Drives with some roughness and noise but is sound and functional. Nice vintage vehicle that is usable and fun.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
There might be value here.
“46 willys cj2a early production with the tool indent on the body. it is missing the motor and the seats. The tub needs work but for the year not too bad. It is a project but the tub is pretty rare if you are in to original and not repo. I also have another tub that needs work for 200 as well as fenders and hoods but again they need work. Give me a call or text and I will try and answer any questions”
