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 .

“Pictures tell all, but craigslist only allows 12 small pics.. If interested and a serious, cash in-hand buyer, message me and I will send 66 pictures.
Purchased her about 2 years ago. Was with the PO since the early 90s — An old skooler, who had a few early CJs – was used as a plow vehicle for his driveway, stored in his barn. He passed away, sat for a year and then wouldn’t start. Got it home, drained the fuel, ordered up a rebuilt carb, electronic fuel pump, inline filter and pressure regulator — fired right up. Found the ignition to be a bit taxing on the 12v system (6v starter), so I ordered up a floor switch, added some new battery cables and cleaned all connectors and the ground contacts. No more drain/draw, fires up after sitting for a month — all better. Has not seen the road, but has been driven in endless circles and circles in the backyard, HI/LO.. 2wd, 4wd — through the gears with no problem. In need of some body work, floors and detail work. Frame is straight and solid — boxed forward section for the plow hardware. Plow hydraulics work great — freshly rebuilt, haven’t been used since rebuild. PTO winch is complete from driveline to cable. (more info on Craigslist).”

It’s rough, but runs.
“I am currently trying to sell my 1946 Willy’s Jeep. It’s in mint condition for the year. It does still run, and includes a hard top. However it does have quite a bit of wear on the interior of the jeep (please see photos), and needs some TLC.”
UPDATE: This appears to have sold. Was listed at $4100.
There’s been plenty of work done, but still some left.
“I bought this 1948 Cj2A Jeep Willys from a guy in Genoa IL in 2001 when I got out of the Army. I bought it because I wanted a flat fender jeep and specifically, one that had not been modified. I had a 1969 Cj5 and a 1993 Wrangler and when people have done their own modifications they are a real challenge to work on afterwards. This one was old, but it looked original, minus the inside windshield frame which they had replaced with a piece of Plexiglas screwed into the outer windshield. It ran when I bought it but needed breaks. My intentions were to update the breaks and then enjoy driving it around. Once I started, it just got out of control and the next thing I know I had the body off and the engine out. Since then I have worked on it a few summers when I had time and it sat for the rest of the time when I was called back to active duty in the Army. Two trips to Afghanistan, college, and a family later, and I don’t have the time I thought I would. In the end it has evolved into a nice looking Jeep. That same summer I got a 1955 Cj5 for a few parts but ended up only using the front bumper. (more on Craigslist).”
