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 .
More details on the build in one of the pics.

“Asking $19,000 OBO This Jeep will climb up a tree Only 60 miles driven since restoration”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $499.
Not sure how much value is here.
“no title.
Rolling Chasis – no motor or trans, or transfer case.
It has both front and rear diffs. No Windshield. Solid frame, rusty body , but I think savable.
I bought this and want to make something cool out of it, but recognize I won’t have time to get to it for at least a year and I am paying $40 per month in storage fees. So it is with a heavy heart that I put it for sale at a reasonable price hoping someone else has the time to do this rig some justice.
Price JUST reduced to only $499 – not one penny less! Located in the Largo Florida area.”
Just a few updates today …
The August 1954 issue of People Magazine did a two-page article on the women who drove jeeps for Willys Motors. It looks like they are testing a series of M-38A1s in the photos.

UPDATE: TJ spotted one of these Junior MBs for sale in Florida. The original post at the bottom is from 2010.
The Hemmings ad below includes several photos, but it’s not clear to me which of these jeeps is the one for sale (or it’s just a reseller important the jeeps and reselling them). The photos are all from the manufacturer website.

The latter half of this video shows the jeep:
Original Post May 8, 2010: Junior Replicas website. Pretty good replicas for a kids toy. They offer a variety of vehicles besides Jeeps.
From the website, “Junior Replicas Mini-Veículos para Lazer S.A. produces in Brazil, exact replicas of classic vehicles, in a scale enabling their use by children over 6 years old. The mini-vehicles use a four stroke, 6,5 hp petrol engines and have specially developed mechanics for complete safety and long-lasting enjoyment. The bodies are moulded in glass reinforced polyester (GRP) and are very detailed and fully replicate the original full-size model.”

Nice looking jeep and trailer shared by Bill.

“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep with 1947 Bantam trailer. Experience the vehicle that started it all, completely restored inside and out. Every nut and bolt is either original or exact replacement (size, thread pitch, head configuration) comes with complete 11 piece multiple configuration canvas top and bows.
Has been driven occasionally, I’m getting too old to get in and out of this thing. It will go just about anywhere. 12 forward speeds and 4 in reverse (high and low range plus Warn Overdrive. 7 new tires (6.00 x 16 military) all worn parts replaced. It does leak a bit of oil (I’ve never seen a Jeep that didn’t) I have many spare parts and accessories that will go with the Jeep if sold at full price. I’ve driven this to 12,000 feet in the Rockies and it ran perfectly all the way up and down.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
Needs an engine.
“1964 jeep fc150 wide frame needs motor.”
This short video of the Willys Overland factory includes a clip showing how workers painted the chassis. I wonder how much spray paint the spray-guy breathed in …
Several jeeps shown navigating mud and water, including a Holden.
