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 .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.

(05/11/2010) If we had a better pic, I *think* we’d see the upper tool indent visible but the lower one not visible. However, even if that was the case, it appears that though the gas cap is visible, the inlet appears tilted, suggesting it is an aftermarket install. The dashboard suggests it is a MB body (with the glove box). The floor board of the rear is just visible and is flat as expected, rather than having undulations like the CJ-2A. The grille is mb, the passenger fender is mb and the hood is mb. However this does have a CJ-2A windshield. So, this appears to be less stock than I originally thought.
“1942 Willy’s Jeep. Runs good, no rust, super hurricane 6 cylinder engine, new tires. Street legal.”

(05/11/2010) This flattie looks good.

A reader ask me about replacing the stock single brake master cylinder, found on many early jeeps, for a dual master cylinder. Can it be done? It turns out there a variety of threads and pages on this alteration. Here are some of the links I found if you are interested in this mod.

“RARE… 1953 Willy’s highhood jeep, CJ 3B in good condition. All parts listed below are new within the last two years with very low miles on them: Carb, Paint, Rims, Tires, Fuel, Tank, Exhaust, Brakes. It has a Warn O/D. Jeep runs and looks awesome, has original engine, tranny, axles and t/c. Selling so I can get something fun such as a Sand Rail, Quad, Land Cruiser, Early Bronco or even a 1 Ton 4×4 truck.”
I can’t quite tell, but there might be a rear PTO on this.

“Rare find needs good home!! Great condition. Flat fendered 1947 CJ-2A. Crate Chevy 350 engine, automatic, with very low miles. I have had it for about 5 years, but, have not had the time to use it as planned. Very little rust! Interior lined with Gator Guard. Custom front bumper with winch mount. Rollbar. Has original hardtop and doors. Nice tires and wheels.”
If this has a column shift, it’s a good deal. If it doesn’t, it’s still a pretty good deal.
“1946 Jeep Willy in good condition, needs clutch. Is purple with bench seat in back. Clear Title and is a great buy.”
