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 .

HOG alerted me to the Kaiser Willys Photo contest. The deadline has been extended to January 15, 2011. If they select your photo for the cover of their catalog, you’ll receive $500 Gift Certificate. You can learn more here.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
I’ve lightened the pictures as best I can. This body looks like a CJ-2A/3a with a 3B windshield. The rims might be decent. The hood has clearly been modified. I can’t tell much else.
“i have a old willys jeep that has a v8 ford in it and hasnt been started in 10 years my land lord is looking for the title but if he cant find it you could always go to mvd and have them run the vin numbers it cost 25.00 to do and then you get a title mailed to you i was going to do it myself because willys are kind of exspensive but i dont have the time or the money.this was going to be my project but like i said i dont have much time now with work so i am looking to trade for somthing i dont have to do so much to or eaven a old classic car thats been out of service what ever you have give me a call.i wont trade for dressers and clothes either please only trades that are worth whil”
The engine compartment could stand some cleaning, but the outside is shiny nice.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(11/14/2010) Based on the grille, this seems more likely to be a mid to later CJ-2A rather than a 1946. The body appears in good shape.
“Up for auction is a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. 1946 is the first year that civilian Jeeps where built. The Jeep is complete other that missing a windshield. Several pictures have been taken to show the condition. It has solid body and frame. The body does not have rust or Bondo (It has surface rust only). It does have a new gas tank. I have never started the jeep but it will turn over by hand. The radiator and engine are full of antifreeze. This jeep does have a clear title. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. This jeep is pick up only and is located in Alton, Il 62002.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000. Not running.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(10/24/2010) This jeep could use a bath, but appears to be a solid jeep improved for the street and trail. Among the updates are free floating rear hubs, a tilt wheel and a full cage.
“1952 Willys M38 – Buick 231 V6 engine, 4 Speed Manual Tranmission and rear locking differential.”
Sebastian pointed me to some nice photos taken by Julian Castro on October 15, 2010, in Armenia, Quindio, Colombia. Below are a few of them. You can see more here.
