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 July 15, 1945, article in the Evening Star featured a great shot of Ford GPAs. I thought the article was interesting, too. It highlights the challenges of managing war surplus (links to page 1 and page 2 of original article).
TJ shared a link from Hemmings on a “This or That” article, meaning if you could only choose one, which one would you choose. Most folks on Hemmings leaned toward the Willys truck. I think I might be more partial to the Chevy (heresy, I know).
Roger shared this odd looking Jeep/Ford combo.
“Clear title. 3 ccy. Standard hasn’t ran in. 5 years. 4×4. Very very cool all original but top somone put a ford. Top it which. Makes it nice at times. Either way it’s. Cool old project. And. Don’t see any like this. ONLY TRADES be. Old muscle cars which means 74 or older”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Looks in good shape.
“Runs awesome well taken care of”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/26/2018) Looks like a nice build.

“Fully restored 48 Willys CJ-3a (Flatfender). Just over 2,700 miles since completion. Well over 1,800 hours of love and care to make this Willys one of finest flatfenders you will ever find. It has been lovingly frame off restored. Every nut and bolt replaced during the restoration a few years ago. Features Dana 25 Front Axle, Dana 44 Rear Axle (we believe), Dana T90 Transmission, Warn overdrive, Dana 18 Transfer Case, Ford 200 inline 6 cylinder (for more power compared to the original 4 banger).
New steering box, new tilt steering column, new gauges, new clutch, new brakes, new Rancho leaf springs, new Warn hubs, new front bumper, new rear bumper, new wheels and tires, new lights, new wiring, and on and on. The highback seats (with seatbelts) are certainly not what came OEM from Willys but are certainly way more comfortable. Rear Bestop seat functions well and has seatbelts for the kiddos (safety first).
Might be worth a look at this price.
