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 .
Bruce spotted this unusual christmas gift for Nieman Marcus shoppers.

There seems to be some value.
“old willys jeep with a flat head merc v8, engine turns over but would need work to have running, transmission seems to shift fine, clutch does not seem to work.”
Here is a strangely modified truck pointed out by James.
“This is a 1947 2wd willys truck that is a flatbed. The eng runs great and it drives good too. The truck has been customized to a rag top and behind the windshield to the back of the cab is all well made. This is something you must see to get a true picture. It has the 6cyl with the 3speed on the floor trans and all original axles,shafts and frame. I was told dodge made these for the military for a short time but don’t know a lot about it. The miles are low and there is no smoke or bad noises in the drive line. One windshield is cracked but the dash is in good condition and the steering is tight. There is functional exaust stacks on it as well. I have seats for it and a console but they are not in it as of yet. I just put a 54.00 electric fuel pump on it. It still needs the wood doors replaced but I have one for a pattern and the floors were just replaced and painted. The bed is in great shape. Feel free to ask any questions and I will answer them all.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Here for your bidding is a 1949 Willys CJ3A. I have owned the Jeep about ten years or so and have not used it much so thats why it is for sale. It had been sitting in the barn for a couple of years so I had to do some work on it. the work was as follows; new clutch assy. new u joints in the front. Updated to twelve volts with the key start type starter, ( I do have the old one and the foot lever). It has a delco alternator on it It has new exhaust.The four wheel drive work as it should , there is a noise in the right front hub when engaged. The motor does smoke a little and the front end shimmys at about 35 miles an hour, pretty sure it is the bell crank bushing. The body has had some work done on it prior to me getting it, there is probably bondo in it somewhere.The floors look to have been fixed at one time and it was a nice job. the frame looks prefect as the jeep did come from down south in Tenn. This is not and military jeep I just painted that way. If you have any questions or need more pics please email me . thanks for looking and good luck bidding”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Runs and drives.
“1942 GPW Jeep, like the willys Ford help build them back during the world wars. Any how this one is unquie its had a willys truck cab and bed mated to it and is powered by a chevy 283 V8. Jeep runs and starts fine, we have been using it on the farm/ranch for the last 5 years and it belong to a friend of are that has had it over 40 yrs and did all these mods to it about 35 yrs ago so this thing has been running for sometime being a hunting rig in Colorado and Texas. I have the title to the Jeep, its not street legal i have only driven it up to about 45 mph on a gravel road before but manily for off road and trail use only. Selling it manily for the reason my dad is getting older and having a hard time getting in and out of it so side by sides have replaced it. Everything works for the most part, it doesnt have very good brakes it will slow down and stop but not great, the seat needs to be recoved and the exhaust pipe has some holes in it from exhaust leaks but no biggie. all 6 kc lights work, 4×4 works, starts and runs fine carb was rebuilt 3 yrs ago, new starter and alternator, battery, hitches front and rear, 2k lb winch on the front.”
The body is in poor condition.
“Hi, This is a 1949 Willys Jeep CJ2 (a)? It has between 75 and 76000 miles. It is in running condition and seems to run fairly well but does smoke. The tires are very good. The frame seems to be solid what I saw but has surface rust. The body is not in the greatest condition. It looks like a previous owner may have done some restoration work since it does have body filler on the body. The fuel tank has been cleaned and coated on the inside. The 4×4 works as well. I did some work on the brakes and they work but think there may be air in the lines since they have to be pumped several times before they work. This also comes with an aluminum top. If you have any questions feel free to call. thanks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
