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 .
Could have some value.

It’s got tires/wheels, so I’m not sure why it is photographed on the jacks.

“1948 Willys with a Ford V8 312 manual 3 speed on the floor . We just gone all over the brakes it runs and drives . The body is in good condition and comes with a snow plow and 4 wheel drive . This would make a great mountain buggy”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
I can’t figure out why the wheel well looks so odd vis-a-vis the far side of the body and it’s downward angle. This might be beyond saving.
“I have a fiberglass Jeep show its brand new never been painted just setting on frame”

“I have a 1948 Willy’s cj2a I am selling. Newly wired turn signals and brake lights as well as newly wired gas gauge. New windshield and glass. New paint and seats out of a newer wrangler. Title can not be traced so you will need to get a reconstructed title for the vehicle to register. New pro comp wheels and mud terrain tires installed and balanced by More Than Tires in Carlisle. Original wheels and tires included in purchase. Runs and shifts like it did new. Optimal battery installed last summer. Fun summer vehicle to take to shows but just have other demands.”
John spotted this article on some unusual engine installations! Lawnmower engines in M-38A1s. Were these jeeps at the Great Willys Picnic?
https://jalopnik.com/this-wrenching-genius-installed-lawnmower-engines-into-1835417201
Here’s one example:
FROM THE ARTICLE ON JALOPNIK: The [lawnmower] engine has been mounted onto some sort of platform, which is mounted to the frame. The 670cc unit sends power from its output shaft via two belts to an intermediate jackshaft, which then transfers power via two other belts to pulleys on the input shaft of the original T-90 three-speed manual transmission.
UPDATE: Anyone have an original of this brochure? I’ve got someone who would like a scan of the page showing the woman. The pics below were part of an eBay auction and subsequent post from 2013 (I bid, but didn’t win the brochure).
“original part color catalog , 5.5 x 8 , 16 pages , interesting cartoon type catalog which concerns the word “Jeep” and its use as a registered trademark . Apparently the word “Jeep” was being commonly used generically to describe a Jeep type vehicle and the company thought it important enough to protect their property rights and trademark to produced this interesting catalog . It also lists countries around the world where “Jeep” has been registered .”
