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: **SOLD**
(04/30/2020) This was for sale in Grand Ledge, MI, and appears to have sold. It’s now for sale in Clinton Township, MI. Though listed as a 1947 body, it looks like a standard reproduction VEEP body.

**OPEN HOUSE**
Monday, June 1st (10am-3pm)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(05/18/2020) Coincidently, $2500 ($1500 in cash, key fob, and other stuff and $1000 in tires) is how much it cost us to get out of Spanish Fork when we were there in 2018! This modified CJ-5 is kinda ugly and cool at the same time. Given he top, the winch, and the turbine rims, there just might be some value here. No description provided.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/22/2019) I’m not sure which model of VEEP-like vehicle this one is. Engine appears removed.

“Willy’s Jeep fiberglass tub Volkswagen transmission front and rear Volkswagen drivetrain”
UPDATE: Still Available.

“1947 Willys CJ2A. Body, frame & axles in rough but repairable condition. I do have other parts available for this project. $800 located near Princeton In”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
(03/22/2020) I’ve not sure how much value is here.
“53′ CJ3B project has original 3spd. trans., twin stick transfer case, is missing motor but comes with 81′ jeep 151-4 rebuildable engine. Frame is in good shape, body can be fixed.Came from Ohio and has a clean title.”
This is a nice looking rig for the price.

“The time has come to sell my little willys Jeep with a 327 V8 in it. It runs and drives great with power steering. It has a 3 speed manual transmission. It also had lockout hubs on the back and a 7 pin plug for towing. It has a bunch of extras”
This Koenig Power Take-Off brochure/chart highlights which PTOs work with which jeep model. It seems like a handy guide.
I hadn’t heard of a parts reseller named Johnson Enterprises, a company out of Orangevale, California, until receiving this catalog. The side and corner panel skid plates are something I’ve seen on some jeeps, but never knew who made them.
The catalog is pretty small, so the company didn’t offer too many products. All the pages of the 1973 catalog are shown below:
UPDATE: This model of top was also sold under the Sears brand. This 1977 catalog shows the top, but doesn’t indicate it was manufactured by Kelly. I’d assume that the different shaped door in the catalog pic has to do with that vehicle being a CJ-7.
