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 .

“1946 willys. tub off restoration. Runs great, good oil pressure. All period correct parts. This is a driver not a show rig. Everything works as it should. The only thing missing is the cable and brake shoes for the E brake. As I restored it I kept all the original parts. I had a lot of fun with it over the past few years but it time to build a street rod and this must go. I also have a state antique title for this”
Looks like a later model 3B.

“We have a running 1947 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. It will start and run, but we recommend that the fuel tank be cleaned first. This vehicle has been sitting for many years. It has an inline 4 cylinder engine, 3 speed manual transmission and PTO.
We are a tow company. The vehicle came into our possession as it was removed from the backyard a property upon request of the new owner. The title did not accompany the vehicle. We have removed the jeep from the yard and it now sits at one of the managers houses.
As of August 12th, the DMV has the vehicle registered non-op and fees to restore are $135. Vehicle will come with a Bill of Sale. This can be a great restoration project for someone to keep or willing to flip it. Either way, it has to be sold soon.
