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 .
Page 2 of this June 1957 issue notes that some vehicles experience a front end shimmy (I expect no one is surprised by this news). The article provides some thoughts on how to deal with that.
Tom shared this 2A with a replacement body. It looks solid.

“Jeep is well maintained and road ready. Have papers showing motor rebuild. 12 volt, but, have the generator. Mostly original. Solid frame and tub. May trade for Jeep Wrangler 4 door.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
It appears to have a PTO winch. Seems like there is value here.
“bring a trailer if you are not in eagle county. $2750 in Gypsum, CO”
This includes an overdrive. It sounds like it runs and drives.

(06/24/2024) Given how these are priced as projects, this doesn’t seem like a crazy price to me.

“1947 Jeep Willys Jeep-A-Trench “Auburn,NE model: w-86 serial: w-916”
Jeep Collectors, there aren’t to many of these still around. This is the older version of the trencher. PTO driven mounted on the jeep. Trencher is in relatively good shape. Frame on the jeep seems good. Transmission and transfer case were removed to replace the clutch but not reinstalled. Selling for my neighbor “he will be present at sale”. His father removed the grill and Radiator at some time also. All removed parts are still on hand. Engine condition unknown, it still has the governor mounted on it. Car dolly is a possible addition to sale. $$. My nmbr, (4wun7)-44o-83too5. Northfield,MN area, local pickup only no help needed on the sale. Offers are accepted. Fyi, ID tag on the Jeep is missing. Leave a message if I don’t answer. Thanks”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6000.
(07/27/2024) This has quite a few updates. The box has likely been repaired. There are appear to be dual fuel inlets in the back.

“Willys with a plow. I plowed with it sparingly for a few years. Has sat since 2020 but ran when parked. Has a 70s Chrysler v6 in it and original transfer case and transmission. All 4 wheels are locked when in 4 low. Will crawl over anything. Goes about 40 mph max downhill. Has roll cage and nice but dirty interior. I spent almost 3k getting the brakes switched over to pneumatic and wheel spacers on the front. Give me an offer! Comes with extra transfer case for parts.”
