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: Still Available.
(12/01/2018) I’ve never seen one this long.

“Rare Jeep extendabed. Fit older CJ Willys Jeeps. $150.00 or B/O. Would like to sell before it gets covered up with snow.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
“Barn find – Vehicle comes with several areas of rust and has not run in several years by all appearances. The bones are there, but it does require a lot of work to get to daily driving again.
This is a project vehicle. It is currently in non running condition and in my opinion will require an upgraded drive train (possibly inline 6 from a newer Jeep) as the current setup does not seem to be in running condition. No transfer box present. Would make an excellent finished project, but will require work.
Vehicle comes with bill of sale, but not title present. Bonded title would be the best option.”
Mark shared a story about the death of Bertha Durpe, one of the few women who served with the 6888th CPD Battalion, an All-Black WAC unit that went overseas to help the war effort. The photo below doesn’t show the former Master-Sergeant Dupree, but it’s still a neat photo.
You can read a little about Ms. Dupree here: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article226817444.html
More on the 6888th:
Mike shared this older photo of what could be a jeep ‘dressed’ in a sponge. Anyone know any history about it? The photo is supposed to be from 1964.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $275.
Roger Martin shared this unusual toy. If it is handmade, it is well done.
“Very high quality HANDMADE toy army jeep. All steel construction. This thing is rough and rugged. Has toggle switch to turn on the headlights, battery compartment under hood. Steering wheel actually turns the wheels. Windshield folds down. Has detachable plow and trailer. This thing is nice and one of a kind. I took it to a couple antique shops and they all told me they believe it has a higher price tag than what I’m asking. There just isn’t another like it to base true value off of. Asking $275 ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $602.
(01/18/2019) Maury spotted this unusual print/illustration. From the description, I can’t quite tell if this is a print or an original illustration. The size is roughly 2.2′ x 3.25′

“Mural Auto Mechanic Workshop Jeep Willysmb 99×66 ~ 1954 Vintage Mechanic Card (see more on eBay)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250:
It needs a little love. Looks like an 80s-ish build.
“1948 Willys cj2a jeep $4250 OBO Has a warren over drive, Buick V6, new gas tank, new 2 barrel holly carburetor. Needs TLC”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7500.
(09/27/2018) Travis spotted this modified CJ-2A for sale.
https://westernmass.craigslist.org/cto/d/hampden-willys-cj-2a/6829782001.html
“This is a true antique but will perform off-road better than today’s jeeps. This has been trailered cross country and been off roading in locations in many of the best trails around.
The cj2a is a 1946 but runs on unleaded gas and can pass inspection. Has year of origin plate, ruddy security council, marine radio and speakers, warn over drive, 4 cylinder motor, spare tire, winch, locking differential.
Please don’t offer me half of asking price or ask me questions if you are not sure what you are looking at/ getting into with this vehicle.”
Appears to include a winch. It could be a worth a look.

“14,000 miles on engine trans transfer case and overdrive. Buick 231 motor, needs slave cylinder installed I have part.”
The passenger fender is dinged up, but there still may be value here.

“The engine and transmission has been rebuilt and I put a new radiator in it. The fuel gauge and odometer does not work. It runs great”
This has a set of Husky hubs! Perhaps this was a CJ-3A trencher at one point, given the extended wheel wells, but I think the bed is in too good of shape for that to be the case.

Given the cage, there appears to be some value here.
