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 .

“Mail jeep in the 1960s for trade. It has a 350 motor, automatic transmission, sits on air bags and runs good. For sale or trade for other rat rods, hot rods, or pro streets. This is a one of a kind!”
Solid looking Jeepster out of Canada is up for auction on Bring-A-Trailer. Has incorrect hubcaps.

“This 1949 Willys Jeepster has reportedly spent its life in Ontario, Canada and was acquired by the seller last year. Finished in blue and white over a blue vinyl interior, the truck is powered by a 134ci L-head inline-four linked to a column-shifted three-speed manual gearbox. The fluids and filters were serviced in November 2019, and a safety inspection was performed. This Jeepster is offered with a replacement canvas top, spare wheels, and Ontario registration.”
I feel like I’ve seen this one before …

“Original 1946 Agri Jeep. Serial number 43416.
This jeep has a good motor and tranny. Both had been gone through with the intention of a total rebuild to happen. Motor runs strong with new gasket, valves reworked, tranny rebuilt. Frame is in surprisingly great shape as evident in the pics ( maybe due to the layers of paint). Take notice of the front gussets. Original frame tag is present and I also have the matched body tag.
Body tub is shot, no surprise there. Front fenders, grill are decent for restoration. This jeep has an original radiator in great shape and holds fluid. Also included ( not pictured) is a desirable original early & correct Air Filter assembly in great shape.
And a few other new parts including coil, brake master, floor starter.
The PTO and shaft are unfortunately gone as they were stolen in the middle of a move.
Please note:
THIS IS NOT A ROAD READY JEEP. FOR RESTORATION OR PARTS.
Comes with a Signed bill of sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
(06/02/2019) No title; parts jeep.

Steve spotted this ad. The CJ-5 runs, has a plow, a Acme hardtop, and a Warn OD. Seems worth a look.

“Original condition Willys Jeep CJ-5 showing 71k miles on the odometer. F-head 134 Hurricane 4-cylinder engine runs smooth and sweet. Three speed manual transmission, two speed transfer case, coupled to a Warn overdrive gear unit and a newer clutch. (have video of engine idling)
The jeep drives, shifts, and brakes normal. The overdrive unit, when engaged, reduces engine RPM and allows for a more road friendly vehicle. Look up Warn overdrive to get an idea of its value. (have video of driving through gears)

I purchased this cool booklet off of eBay. It has some great pics. I’ll share once it arrives.
Steve shared this ad for Proto Tools that included a Jeep. It appeared in the March 1953 issue of Mechanix Illustrated.
This photo is another image-applied-to-plate that’s on eBay. It’s a neat photo showing at least four Ford GPs inside a boxcar.
