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 .

“I have a willys cj2a in running and driving condition needs body work the frames solid it ha the flat head 4 cyl with 3 spd trans. Offroad bumpers 4000 lb winch pro comp fogs jeep does not have a title”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1000. This may have potential.
(12/18/2012) “I was told when i bought it that it was a 1946. I don’t have a title for it. It was a project that was never intended to be on road but could be if you wanted to get a new title for it. I believe it has a Chevy transmission and shortened drive shafts. I never even started working on it from the time I purchased it but will do my best to answer any questions you might have. Comes with a Chevy 305 engine out of an 80’s full size van (no engine installed). It seems to have a lift and some heavier suspension on it. The price is firm but I will take 100 less each week until the price is down to 1000. If no one buys it by that time I will keep it.”

Lots of of parts between all three of these.
“I have 3 jeeps for sale, all are pretty complete, the green one rolls over and will run, the other ones are locked up, green one is restorable, other 2 are a little rough and are probably best for parts, all have the flat 4 motor. just have too many projects and not enough time, asking $2250 for all, dont realy want to mess with parting out, may separate the jeeps and sell individually, Have titles for the 47 and 48, not sure of year on multicolor one, also may consider a trade.”

Located fifty miles west of Minneapolis in Willmar, MN, the Schwanke Car, Tractor, and Truck Museum has been open since 1998. It features the collection of Virgil Schwanke, who has been collecting vehicles for fifty-five years. He has assembled over 400 units for display, including tractors, cars, trucks, gas engines, gas pumps, signs and more. He recently added a CJ-2A to the museum.
Virgil uses this CJ-2A as a springboard to talk about jeeps during World War II. You can read more in the museum’s blog post.
