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 .

“1946 Willys jeep. Rebuilt motor. Project jeep. For more info please call 2547230519”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(03/24/2011) Here is a project that appears pretty solid. Is the windshield missing arms? How is it staying vertical? The seller does a nice job of explaining the situation.
“Up for sale is a Willys CJ3A (mostly). The engine numbers put it at a 1949 CJ3A. I picked this up with great intentions, but my CJ2A has been taking all of my time and it is now time for someone else to make use of this. Some good modifications were done and some good body work – it will however require re-wiring (pretty simple on these) and some TLC. I got it running with a battery and putting gas in the carb before I brought it home and have done absolutely nothing with it since that day. This would make a great start to a rock crawler or just a cool toy to run around town in.
Engine: L134 (period correct at least, but I believe it is original) I had it running a couple of years ago and it idled smooth and ran strong.
Transmission: Unknown – haven’t driven it but it shifts through all gears.
Transfer case: Unknown – see above
Body: Good condition (actually great for the year) little to no rust that I’ve seen. Hat channels were replaced with angle iron (well done) and the body was skimmed with bondo – which is cracking in several places.
Other: Spring over axle conversion was done for lift. May need to re-evaluate the angels that were used.
Being sold as a project only as is – where is. Will need a trailer to haul. $1400 OBO”
UPDATE: This sold today! Was listed at $1750.
(07/22/2011) Moze has a project he’d hoped to complete for sale. There is no motor/tranny at the moment. A job relocation is forcing the sale.
“The tailgate had the wood on it when I bought it. I since flipped it so the metal showed. It needs some repairs obviously (some cracked glass, exterior door handles don’t work, etc.) but nothing too serious. I’d like to see it go to a good home. Practically New: Tires, Dual Glass Pack Mufflers”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900
(05/27/2011) MIx of parts.
Gerad found this fascinating bit of testimony from Bantam about how the company and the Army worked together. This seems particularly appropriate given the upcoming Bantam Festival.
BTW. If anyone wants to take pics and send in reports from the Festival, I will try to do updates based on what I receive. email me about it at d at ewillys.com
Gerald writes,”A few years back I went to the Henry Ford Archives Library in Detroit to research the Jeep. I found this document. It is cool. It was hand typed and the original, Henry read it himself. The research librarian shook me down, I showed him I knew my shit, then he showed me the good stuff. The Le Croix collection. I used white gloves and all. Anyways. Good Bantam history for the record. This is Bantam’s testimony of what went down.”
Brian spotted this. I don’t know enough about these to know if this is a prototype or not.
