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 .
This is listed as a 1942 CJ2b; a rare model indeed. Humor (or lack thereof) aside, could be a solid jeep, though the peeling paint on the hood may have some filler in it (I can’t quite tell).

“This very rare 1950 Willys Jeepster is one of only 5,845 cars built this year. A total of 19,132 Jeepsters were ever made in the years 1948, 1949, and 1950. Compare that to the one year numbers of the 1965 Mustang at 559,451 cars, and you can see just how rare they are. This one is a real Unicorn, because it has zero cancer anywhere I have looked. The areas where they typically rust are just beautiful. The power is from a more modern Ford; it is a 2.3 Liter overhead cam engine that runs very well, and has considerably more horsepower than the original Flathead 4, plus it has Electronic Ignition and a new 60 amp Alternator. The transmission is a freshly rebuilt C-4 3 speed automatic. The original fuel and amp gauge work great as do the aftermarket Oil, Water, and Amp Gauges. The top is in decent condition; just needs a window sewn in. No side curtains, but they are easy to come by. To be a 35K show car it will need new paint and some work done to it, but you can drive it home as it is! This is a real bargain at 8500.”

The motor is still in the vehicle.
It was parked in a car yard below our residence, under pine trees, years and years ago. I guess out of sight out of mind is true-to-form in this case.
Please call and I’ll text photos to your phone.
I’ll keep searching for the title. Mom is 101 and she tells me she still has it. Its just up to me to find it at her home. ***Sorry, I am unable to find a title at this time.***)”

“Steel full cab for flat fender cj. Was on a mb with a cj3a windshield.”
This double-sided brochure is printed in French on one Sid era German on the other. The only driver shown in the pics is a woman at the helm of the CJ-2A. Given the vehicles pictured, my guess this was printed in 1947 or 1948. The paper is extremely thin, so I’m surprised this one survived.
This brochure highlights the jeep’s ease of operation.
As part of the 1945 Press Release packet, this image is included as photo #1 along with a caption.
Joe spotted this photo showing a partially crushed M-38A1.He accidentally found it on Google while searching for something else. I had no idea an M
Quora.com indicates the tank is an M-50 Sherman that was damaged during fighting along the West Bank during 1967. I had no idea running over an M-38A1 could knock out a tank like that! (my poor attempt at humor…).
