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 .

Robert spotted this great link of Life Magazine Photos. The photos range across the decades, including black/white and color ones. This was photographed by Myron Davis for the July 1945 issue.

Buz spotted this image on Flickr from the North Carolina State archives. You can just make out the tools indents and the front bow holder.

It has no title, but it does have a great service bumper.
“I haven’t had time to work on it so keeping it In my garage is useless. I put a rebuilt carb, new starter and seats in it. It ran before I started digging into it but a little elbow grease will get it going. I bought it 3 years ago this summer but the other owner couldn’t find the title so it still has no title. Call or text 17347320416. Ben is the name”

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
There is an item I can’t identify on the floor in front of the transmission shifter. Is that some type of heater?
“1948 WILLYS JEEP RUNS GOOD. GOOD TRANSMISSION. I DON’T HAVE MUCH HISTORY ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN LOTS OF PHOTOS SO PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT.”
The engine runs.
“Selling a cj2a that’s between 1946-48 with a homemade tub and a 1948 2a complete body. The replacement body is original, has vin, with the correct tub, windshield, good front end and hood. Has floorboard and hat channel rot under the driver and passenger. Rear floor solid. Has the top’s bow pocket brackets except for one. Lots of extra parts between these two bodies. Will not separate, must take the whole lot. The jeep with the motor will fire up, sounded pretty good, but it has no gas tank and a busted radiator, so we couldn’t keep it running long. It has all the running gear, though the brakes aren’t working. Have two sets of gauges and headlight buckets. No title. Both hoods stamped Willys. Both windshields stamped Willys. Toolbox under seat has correct Jeep script. Both dashes in good shape. Tailgate on replacement body has Willys stamp. 15 inch wheels. New plug wires, new radiator hoses, new oil lines for filter, new filter bracket, electronic ignition conversion kit, loaded calipers and hoses for front disc conversion.”
