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 .
This article tells the story about some POWs who were thrilled to see a jeep after years in captivity. It was published in the May 05, 1945, issue of The Wilmington Morning Star.
Make-shift water crossing. As Race pointed out, “Nectar” should be spelled Neckar River in the text.

“48 Willys Jeepster not running needs all mechanical, body is in nice shape. I was going to get it running, but has been parked in my shop in Vancouver for several years. The motor is seized, and I took the head off to see the pistons were rusted. I was going to pull the pistons and rering it plus a valve job, but now I need the shop. The interior is in great shape and top also is in great shape with all the windows. This will be a great driver after the mechanical is done, with a nice body.”
Seller’s phone number is included in the ad. Body has some rust.

“Rare/ Hard to find
Genuine Willys Overland Jeep CJ2A issue 1948
This Willys CJ2A has a vintage army camo paint job. Jeep still has its original seats, wheels, windshield glass, engine, drivetrain, etc. Brakes are not working. It had a make-shift gas tank that was located in the rear of the jeep. It has been removed and will include an original fully functioning gas tank. This jeep includes a working Willys L134 flat-head 4 cylinder engine. Engine ran great last year — I have since removed the gas tank and parked it. Mileage is 72,589.
Imperfections include rust, dents, dings as pictured.
Comes complete with rare original title from 1948 which shows purchase date of 09/28/48!”
Interesting that the CJ-2A windshield has been cut down form the bottom. I don’t think I’ve seen that done.
