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 “Seeing’s Believing!” ad was published on July 06, 1947, in the Wilmington Morning Star. I wish all the scanned newspaper ads came out this clear.
This ad for the Willys Mighty Farm Jeep and an associate demonstration was published in the Henderson, NC, Daily Dispatch on April 13, 1946.
From the same newspaper earlier in the month (April 06) was this teaser for the demonstration:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
Looks good.

“selling my fully restored 1946 Willys jeep. 450 miles on it since total restoration. New everything.
Has factory GO DEVIL 4 cylinder engine. All stock except wheels and warn hubs.
1st year of the Civilian Jeep. Not military. 60 horse power , 60 MPH top speed.
This is in perfect condition and runs and drives the same. Nicer finish than they ever had.
Car show ready”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2600.
Given the Meyer top, the plow, and the running condition, this might be a good price. the body is rough, but we’ve seen much worse.
“1962 CJ5 with original (or at least correct period) hydraulic lift plow.
Starts, runs, and drives. Plow operates as well.
It has F4-134 Hurricane engine and 3spd manual trans. High/Low on transfer case both working.
Factory heater. Hard top and doors (with roll up windows).
System was converted to to 12V including recent alternator which is charging as it should.
Frame is good, body has some patches and could use some more attention but plows just fine as-is.
Needs a brake pressure switch for brake lights to work but headlights and taillights are working.
Valve lash just adjusted and valve covers replaced.
Windshield has a crack but not leaking.
Bill of sale only – no title available.”
This is a project. I believe this has a Sears Deluxe aluminum top.

“1947 Jeep Willy’s great looking old school Jeep needs to be finished have no time to finish it comes with parts Jeep and extra parts”
This may be a 1946, based on the multiple data plates and the front Frame horns. It’s listed as a 1949.
