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 seller lists this as a 1950, but it could be a VEC.
“FOR SALE: 1950 Jeep Willy, asking $3500.00 OBO. It’s a fun vehicle to drive. Call 641-430-3254 or 641-430-1371 if interested. Thanks!”

The VIN is on the edge of being VEC.
“This is a 46′ Willys jeep, this particular truck was originally equipped with a column shifter. The vin or production number is 29344, there are a set of axles that come with the truck but no suspension. It had a bent frame horn that I repaired before deciding to build a different truck. The body of this truck is ruff but it would be perfect to use a buggy crawler. Please let me know if you have any questions. Call or text, I’m up late 517-four20-8203”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
(03/20/2012) This has an unusual lip around the edge. It also appears to have a replacement body, given the indents on the passenger side.
“very nice little jeep

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
I’m a little surprised the transfer case levers aren’t visible in the picture of the dash. Maybe they were shoved backward with the updated motor.
“cool 1948 CJ2A the first series of civilian jeeps, we have owned her for 20 year, was a daily driver, until we built a house and needed a pickup, so she was retired about 10 years ago, IT IS ON NON OP !! engine not running, probably from sitting , has original trans and transfer case, and has the f head engine , brakes still work, has some rust, but nothing that cant be fixed, must sell , asking $1200.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The front frame horns and bumper look pretty good as does the rest of the jeep. The rolling chassis has value, too.
“Restorers dream with plenty of extra parts. I just started on this soon after being retired but! took a job in LA. Wife wants her garage back.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $3500.
Needs a paint job at the very least.
“A great project, lots of potential.
Runs and drives, good tires, Kaiser motor, great for deer lease, off road, has tow bar if needed, removable hard top and spare tire rack.
$3500.00 or reasonable offers considered.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6200.
Lots of mods on this crawler.
“This is a one of a kind Willys that was built by a former Dynamics Engineer at Jeep and he also owned Nth Degree Mobility. With a small amount of work this Willys would be fully ready to hit the hit the trails. The Willys needs to have the Carb tuned and a new battery installed (has bad new Optima). This Willys has been wheeled all over the country from the Sierras to Michigan. The vehicle was completely rebuilt about 10 years ago and then parked till 3 years ago when I purchased. I replaced and cleaned the entire fuel system and got her up and running, wheeled it, loved it but just do not have room for it in my smaller home with a growing family and another jeep. Make me a reasonable offer, title in hand.
