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 .
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $2800.
This was likely a Safari Kar based on the rims, steering wheel, and tail lights.
“1976 Jeep with straight 6 and 3 speed automatic transmission. This is a 2wd DJ5 Jeep with 31 inch BF Goodrich tires. Great fun if you have some land or live near the open desert. We use this Jeep to get around on our property and take into the wash. Runs and drives but the transmission does slip going into second gear but will drive around town fine. Make offer or will consider trades”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/06/2018) Will need some work, but may be worth a look.

Seems like there could be some parts value here.
“For sale is a 1946 CJ2A Willys Jeep. This was a “barn find,” which I do not have the time to restore. I have two new tires already installed on the rims. It has the original “Go-Devil” engine. The engine does not run, but the transmission will shift to each gear. I’m asking $1,000 OBO. Please call or text for further information.”
Needs some work. It has an early grille.

“1940s model Willys Jeep
Starts & runs good. The brakes need some minor work, and the front left tire has a slow leak. Aside from that, it is ready to go. There is no VIN number or title. We have owned the jeep for over 20 years. Our kids learned to drive in this jeep. It’s hard to let it go, but it has been parked for several years. Time for us to pass it on.”
It doesn’t run, but it has potential.

The one pic suggests this might be a Safari-Kar, but more pics are necessary.

(12/21/2018) This hunting jeep includes a feeder on the back.
“This 1946 Willys Jeep has a new engine that runs great – it was rebuilt a few years ago and has less than 1,000 miles on it. The Jeep also has a Warn winch, brush guard, feeder, solid tires, and a hunting high-seat for 2 persons.”
I stumbled onto the below video of the Bolide XJ-002 after doing some searches based on the post related to the XJ-001. The video is part of a larger All-Par article (see more photos here).
Now I’m wondering if the Parmely body was based originally on this XJ-002 body design. The Parmley looks like it’s a little more practical, convertible version of the XJ-002.
Unlike the XJ-002, which was designed on a Jeepster Commando chassis, the XJ-001 was atop a CJ-5 chassis. The Parmely was also designed to fit a CJ-5 chassis, so its lines couldn’t be as long nor sleek as the XJ-002.
The video isn’t the most compelling piece of work, but it manages to record some unusual history. As of 2010, this vehicle was reportedly undergoing restoration.
This is a press photo of the XJ 001. If you don’t remember, this prototype jeep was built on the CJ-5 chassis and power by the 360CI AMC V-8. Essentially, it was a 4WD muscle car. You can read about the vehicle on Hemmings. Unfortunately, the prototype was destroyed in an accident as it was being transported. The article also indicates some folks called the 1998 Jeepster prototype the ACT II of the XJ-001.

Here’s a photo from the internet that shows the front:
This may be a CJ-3A with a CJ-2A body.
