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 .
Has rust. It’s supposed to run.

Andy is selling his CJ-2A & Trailer. You can contact him through the CJ-2A page.
“In the interest of transparency, this is a resto mod, Jeep salad. If you are looking for an original, turn away. If you are looking for a well crafted reliable driver – well this may be for you.
The specs…..as best I can remember them:
1946 column shift tub. ACM is still present. Period correct tailgate with ACM as well.
1953 CJ3B chassis – fully blasted, boxed in critical places
D 25 front with 78 CJ bolt on caliper disc brakes. High steer tie rod flip set up. All new pretty much everything.
D44 rear – just built. Full floater early Warn kit. Disc brakes as well. Lock-rite locker. New.
D18 – later model 29 tooth with 1 1/4 shaft. Period correct Warn OD
Low miles L-head with a Scout Pilot top of the line carb and filter
Saginaw power steering conversion
12 volt conversion.
New clutch, resurfaced wheel, etc. All new.
Herm dual master. In fact every brake component is new. No really – every single part.
Beachwood canvas seats and tailgate chain covers. Custom matching covers in the trailer.
six new Swamper radials – 31×9.5. 1/2 tread spare on matching wheel
Body is all redone – no hidden surprises. See the build thread. Pasture green.
1951 Bantam-esque trailer. We never could determine the pedigree of this trailer. But nonetheless – completely redone with a custom tailgate added.
Tons of custom and uniquely tasteful mods – too many to list. “
As I’ve mentioned, I once made the ‘mistake’ of buying three Austin Champ fixer-uppers to save them from being crushed. Despite that experience, I joined the Austin Champ group, as sometimes I find Champs for sale and post the links on the site.
The other day someone posted a 1955 ad for the Champ Firefly, which was a type of fire engine built on the Champ chassis. I’d never heard of them, so thought folks might find these ads interesting.
Here’s a an actual Austin Champ NSL 418 Firefly Fire Engine:
Found this on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/buzzer999/7609146360
The next three ads were all listed on this site: https://www.aviationancestry.co.uk/?searchQuery=Fire+Armour&startYear=1909&endYear=1980
The first two ads, from 1954, are for Champ Firefly Airfield Crash Trucks:
This 1955 ad is for Fire-fighting. I’ve yet to see pics of one of these restored.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
Appears solid.
“No rust
Fully restored
6v to 12v conversion
Undercarriage was redone
In great shape for a car of the year”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
Appears solid.
“1946 Jeep Willys fully restored in 2015 new wheels and tires in 2016. Runs great and is garage kept.”
