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 .
The cage and the fenders give this crawler an unusual look.

That front bumper is unusual.
“This rare 1947 Willy’s purchased was by my dad several years ago and used to cruise the shores and get to exclusive hunting spots on Lake McConaughy in Nebraska. Unfortunately, he recently passed away so we brought the it back in hopes of finding a good home for it. My dad loved this vehicle, and as you can see, he put his creativity and character into it – he loved camo! It comes complete with three tool boxes that actually have supplies in them.
As far as we can see, most primary parts are original, however at some point it was switched to a 12 volt system, we are assuming due to the wench requirements. It runs pretty good considering it’s 66 years old, but probably could use a good oil change, some work on the brakes, and new tires. It is not street legal and probably wouldn’t be without some significant alterations.
If you are looking for a fun vehicle to go hunting or run around lake shores in, this is the one for you! Or, if you’re looking for a rare find to fully restore, this is a great one. Not everyone will get the opportunity to restore a 1947 Willy’s as apparently this type of classic military type of is becoming more and more rare.”
UPDATE: Was $1950 **Status Unknown**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600
“FIRST $600.00 takes it or an interesting trade. ASAP
Save this Willys. We have stored this inside for 20 years and outside for the last two and it is time to find it a good home. The hood and fenders (not pictured) are in good shape the tailgate, windshield, and body have been filled over the years. The Jeep has a small block V-8, which is a boat anchor, but the parts to switch are presumably there. It has only one wheel, the rest appropriated for other uses before we got it. I won’t give it away and would consider interesting trades. Consulting Jeep parts and restoration sites – the hood and fenders are worth something. It is not titled but the dash plate is there. 1943 is a guess. Half money from a restoration site for the hood, grill, fenders, and tailgate is $800. Plus the drive line, etc. is worth something. Don’t need to get all of that and would like to sell soon”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
This has some upgrades, including the Hudson Steering mod.
“My loss is your gain! It is going to a good cause: college fund for a single parent’s child.
History: There have been only two previous owners; clear title is present. This CJ2A has been garaged over the past 5 years. It is in superb mechanical shape and runs like a charm. This has a warn overdrive, which makes driving so much easier and highway speeds possible. Hudson steering has been installed and makes steering a breeze. The engine has been totally rebuilt and retrofitted for unleaded gas. The oil pressure runs 40-50 psi. The following renovations and modification have been performed:
