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 .
With some new paint, this might look pretty good.

“This is a nice start to a Jeep project. All metal body with upgraded suspension and steering. Original 4 cylinder motor and 3 speed dual stick transfer case. I acquired this jeep with a bunch of other projects so I don’t know much more than the pictures show. Looks like it needs wiring completed and winshield intalled.

Originally has 73,855 miles on old speedometer, but a new speedometer was installed and set at 0. The electrical system has been changed over to a 12 volt system. Original engine runs great!! Starts every time. This vehicle would be great fun to drive!!!”
This is a flattie body on a CJ-5 frame.

No title project here.
“I recently had some vehicles from Arizona hauled back to the east coast and this little Willys Jeep is one of them. Its about 90-95% free of rust. The engine turns free and all pieces are here, I was told it was last started about a year ago. This is a great start for someone interested in one of these Jeeps. The original paint was black and you can literally wipe off the light blue and red paint underneath it down to the original black paint with a rag soaked in mineral spirits. Email me with questions.. first 3000 or best offer CASH takes it. I don’t have a title and this is reflected in my price, its not hard to get one for these vehicles as many of them didn’t have titles etc. Your local DMV can help you.. I have the paperwork and procedure for NY state as I went to the DMV here and they explained what I needed to do.”

Runs, but needs work to drive.
“1946 Willys Jeep, CJ2A, all original except for 6 cyl. flathead motor. New tires, 2 spare wheels, canvas top, back-seat, jerrycan, repair manuals. Running, needs brake fluid leak repaired & wiring done correctly to be driveable”
Listed as a 1941 MB, this seems to be a mix of parts. I don’t see any rear hubs.The body’s been ‘fixed’. No motor.
“1941 Willys Jeep. Very early production “Willys” stamped MB. Probably not suited for restoration, but would make neat driver and four-wheeler. Had small block Chevy V-8, (now missing), and still has mounts, transmission adapter, radiator, dual exhaust, bellhousing, and more, all mounted in place. Would accept Chev V-6 as well. Also has T-90 transmission, 11 inch brakes, late model steering, and 12 volt electrics. Drivers windshield cracked. This is a non-running project perfect for someone who can get hold of a small block Chevy engine. $1950.”
