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 $1200.
This needs more than “finishing touches” it needs plenty of rust repair. The good new is that it runs.
“CJ3 Willys Jeep good F head engine and running gear; starts and runs good; needs finishing touches; rust! Good for parts or restoration; price negotiable”
The engine has been removed and needs a rebuild.
“1947 willys cj2a in great shape, full cage, patina, lockers, needs front seats bolted down (not the ones pictured) superswampers on steel beadlocks, the motor is out on a pallet ready to be rebuilt or I also have a 2.5 v6 with auto trans out of a jeep comanche.”

(12/20/2017) Runs. It’s listed as a 1951, but looks more like a CJ-2A.
“51 Willy’s cj2a flatfender jeep , runs smooth starter sounds old , converted to 12v. Has disc front brakes , has heater , hardtop and hard doors , runs drives all lights work, new poly fuel tank and sender, has assemble neb assigned title with tag and the original vin tag ”
Maury spent some time with Lawrence Elliott, a retired jeep mechanic, and took a few photos of him with his jeeps. Lawrence also re-manufactures bell cranks with bearings, so Maury was curious about that, too (see an example here). I’m hoping to visit both during my trip east this May.
Maury writes, “Lawrence thinks he’s owned about 28 jeeps over the years. Now, he has an early 1960’s(?) jeep truck that he has turned into a nice restomod, with a Chevy V6 engine and Ford 9″ rear axle, among many other modifications. He also has a CJ6 under build, as well as an M38A1, which have Chevy motors as well. On the CJ6, he created an adapter to mount a Ford Ranger steering box to replace the original Ross gearbox.”
Blow are a few pics of Lawrence and his vehicles.
UPDATE: This one is back on eBay.
(11/05/2017) Seeing that “Beware” sign has got to be intimidating!
“1944 Press Photo Private Allan Robertson drives a jeep in Florence Italy
This is an original press photo. Driving this jeep through a street in Florence, Private Allan Robertson, Birmingham, Ala., pauses to read a “Beware Enemy Snipers” sign on the side of a building. Photo measures 9 x 7.25 inches. Photo is dated 8-19-1944.”
