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 .
There’s enough here that for the right person this might be a worth a look. What little we can see of the CJ-2A chassis suggests at least some of it might be restored.

“This is “Ben”, a 1956 Willys pickup with original service body. Ran when parked. ”
Sometimes a body is more trouble than its worth. It runs and drives find without one.

It is a perfect restore or keep it the way it is with the patina. It dose run , ha e not driven it though .Over $1000 in brake parts only serious people please don’t waste our time please,”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000.
(12/10/2023) This is an interesting build, but the pics don’t show all the aspects. It’s possibly now a convertible (or just soft top) and has a tower blind attached to the bed.

John shared this modified truck. It includes an overdrive.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1012785993287576
“Old backroad truck . 4×4 three speed with overdrive. Not a hot rod or show truck. In-line 6 ford truck engine. Converted to 12 volts. All instruments work. Heater and defrost work. New tires less than 20 miles. New side post battery. Converted to alternator. All lights work. Steering is hard, brakes stop but need room. Diamond plate steel front and rear bumpers. New carb, fuel pressure regulator and gauge. Electric fuel pump and filter. New aluminum radiator and electric wipers.if it’s posted, it is still available. Will not respond to is it still available. No trades. Odometer doesn’t work”
UPDATE: I found what I believe is another Israel Kaiser brochure which highlights the Compact Tender design. This truck looks more like a modified wagon than a truck. The bed does not appear independent of the cab.
=================
Original Published Dec 05, 2010: Congrats to Or who spotted some information from a “Kaizer-Ilin Industrys Ltd” marketing document at the Israel Cars forum. He and I have both searched for any official piece of evidence that the vehicles we were seeing were really produced and this represents the first step in that process. We still don’t know how many were produced, nor how many years they were produced, nor in how many countries they were produced (though they have appeared in both Israel and the US).
The document below is from 1963. Or translates it the following way:
1. Tender Willys
2. “Station Car”
3. Compact Tender
4. c’hamp 1963
Moreover, Or spoke with some of the folks at the Israel Cars forum and discovered that the Compact Tender is built on the Panel/Wagon frame (104.5″ wheelbase) rather than the long pickup frame (118″ wheelbase).
Thanks to the guys at the Israel Cars forum for posting this Ad:
