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 .
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/08/2015) This has some unusual mods.

Includes a new body.
“I have a 1949 Willys CJ3A for sale, approximately 26K original miles. It runs, but needs a gas tank and a battery, among other things. The body is fair, the floors are shot, but it comes with a new steel body that has been primered to keep it from rusting. The brakes are fairly frozen, but I was able to get it up onto a trailer when I bought it last fall. It has been stored in a garage since that time.
I have lost my storage space and need to sell. Asking $2,000 or best offer. The new steel body alone is worth $2500. No tire kickers please. Located Skaneateles. I do not have a title for this so it is being sold as a parts vehicle only.”

This has a wide brimmed fiberglass body, but doesn’t appear to be a bobcat or parkette body.
