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 .

“One of the coolest jeeps around for sure.
This was custom built for a man in Palm Springs California about 30 years ago. It runs great!
Small block Chevy motor with electric fan. 3 speed manual.
This is a trail built jeep. It has an overdrive/underdrive in addition to the transfer case. I believe they are commonly called doublers. You can can crawl the trails which is specifically what this was built for. This is not a highway speed vehicle.
Super fun town and trail toy!
Custom built all the way. One of the coolest roll bars I’ve seen. I love the extra wide center where the CB is mounted.
It does have a soft top and doors that come with it. Dual gas tanks. Like new tires.
There’s nothing wrong with it.
It’s just fun!
$16,500 or fair offer. We are not interested in trades.”

Seller believes this is a 1945 VEC CJ-2A, but it looks more like a GPW (tool lids) with a CJ grille to me. If the serial number is accurate, it may be a 1943 GPW.
