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: **SOLD** Was $2800
The flatties are in OK to poor shape, but that CJ-5 is tweaked too much to be worth much, unless it’s got an overdrive or something else we can’t see.

(11/11/09) No indication as to why the seller thinks this was an airforce jeep.

This is an article Bruce found in the Charleston Daily Mail from Dec 22, 1941. Note that the reporter calls this vehicle both a Jeep and a Bantam Buggy, suggesting that readers would be familiar with both terms. In fact, the US was only in the ware a couple weeks by the time this article aired.
Here’s a PDF Version that’s probably easier to read.
Update: **SOLD** Was $2500.

Jean-Sebastien forwarded a couple links for our Canadian Readers to enjoy. I particularly love the trailer on this, though that Jeepster is gorgeous, too.
“I am selling this 1949 Willys Overland Jeepster Convertible . It has a rebuilt 1964 Buick V6 and an Automatic Transmission. I have 2 sets of tires. True spoke western rims, and a matching trailer. Motor has approx. 5000 miles. I have had it in a few parades. Draws alot of attention if thats what your looking for. Runs and drives really smooth. Power steering, power brakes, have been added to this jeep. The rear end is a ford 9 inch. No oil leaks, or burning. It has a new radiator. I have removed the pin stripping in the pictures. No rust of any kind. No body filler of any kind. This car is solid , solid solid. You will not be disappointed is this Jeep. I will assist in delivery of this jeep in any way I can. I am located in Windsor Ontario just across from Detroit Michigan. This Jeepster is titled a 1949 and some may say that it is a 1950. The vin shows that it is a 49 but with all the dash and front end of a 50. As far as I can tell the car was titled in the 2nd half of that year, Built in Ohio in 49 and exported to Canada the same year. In the US it would of been titled a 1950. If you require any other pics , let me know. The car is in storage at the present time and I would need a day for fresh pics. You can contact me at 519-978-3499 or email me at bdahmann@live.com. Thanks for looking in and good luck. I have a very reasonable reserve on this Jeep . I reserve the right to end this auction for any reason. It is also for sale locally . If you have a rating of 0 please contact me first. I have a good rating of 100 percent and am very proud of that. added note: I also removed the bell in the picture of under the hood. It was used for parades with the Shriners at one time.”
Here’s another one courtesy of Jean-Sebastien. Bids have reached $9100. No offense to the seller, but I don’t quite understand why someone would modify a ’47 into a M-38 at such a detailed level as this has been done? But, hell, I’ve done plenty of things that didn’t make any sense!
“This is a Collectors 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A modified to m38 with a military green paint job that is a year old. The seats were done year ago in green canvas. Jeep has a new go devil four cylinder motor that is green to match paint and was installed about year ago. Jeep runs great and has been garaged every winter. It comes with the one year old green canvas top. New unidirectional 7.00-16 Tires and green rims, Paint and Interior are in Great Condition. Everything has been replaced and redone from Brakes, Paint, Interior, Exhaust. The 4×4 works great with the 3 speed T90 transmission. I can provide more pictures on request.”
This has got a classic old top that goes with it.

UPDATE: The seller deleted the craigslist ad, so this may have sold.
I wonder if the engine that needs rebuilding is good enough for another 10k miles or so.
