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 now $2800.

“This as a 1948 Willys CJ2A with a ‘53 F-head engine. I runs well, starts rite up, idles well, drives, 4 wheels and stops. Fuel system has been redone. Engine is smooth. Clutch and brakes are a bit stiff but work well. Newly painted, body is in good shape. Some rust still underneath and in toolbox area. Flame is good. Wind shield is rough, but functional. It is not restored but rescued. It still tells it’s story. It is a blast and very capable off road. I was planning on taking it on the Rubicon, but will not be able to do it this year so I am moving it on. It has soft doors and a bikini top.”

Roger Martin shared this one. It’s a project.
“This is a rolling 47 Frame and early 46 body. Frame is in very good shape. It has the axles, transmission and transfer case. Driveline’s included but not on it. It’s a floor shift that seems stuck in gear. Also have another tailgate, extra frame (needs some repair), windshield frame, Floor pan parts, 3 in the tree Trans and Transfer case (not the one shown in the back), tow hitch, tow bar, extra set of axles, and some misc parts.
Has mags and 1 original wheel, steering box or seats. I’m in Orem, Utah I might sell parts separately but would prefer to sell it all. Looks like i’ll be moving soon so I’ll entertain offers and trades.”
