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: Price dropped to $1000.
(11/06/2017) Not sure how much value is here.

https://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/d/1944-willys-mb-jeep-forsale/6571399267.html
“This 1944 Willys MB spent most of its life in Connecticut and is powered by a 2,199cc “Go-Devil” flathead four mated to a 3-speed manual gearbox with a hi/lo range transfer case. A 2011 service included replacement of the seats, shifter hardware, axles, fuel canister, side storage box, and exterior graphics, while the engine oil was changed approximately 500 miles ago along with the front and rear differential fluids. This Willys is offered by the seller on behalf of a family friend and comes with records for replacement parts as well as a Connecticut bill of sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(10/24/2017) The seller acquired about a dozen non-running jeeps. This is one of them. It looks to have a Kelly hardtop.
“1948 Willy’s CJ2A.. We have acquired a dozen or so older vehicles (mostly Jeeps) that would be great as parts vehicles or some that came with titles could be used as a project vehicle.. A lot of these parts are no longer made or come special order from companies at an extreme price.. Please see photos.. What you see is what you get.. The vehicles will need hauled as none of them are in running condition.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.
(03/30/2018) This is a project in need of finishing. Lots of custom work.

<– Trip Overview Map | Day 2: Monday April 30th: Life’s Twists and Turns –>
DAY 1: When folks ask when we’ll be somewhere on this trip, I tell them it’s a bit of a fluid situation until we get closer to the East Coast. Case in point ….
Yesterday we left Pasco, headed for Grand Junction, Colorado. As we passed by Provo, we heard a strange noise like a tire popping, but nothing seemed amiss. We turned off at Spanish Fork and made it several miles up the canyon when we heard another noise followed by a ding: one of our tires was flat. Fortunately, we were able to pull safely off highway 6 (no fluids spilled, no damage, etc).
We put on the wimpy spare, then drove back down to Spanish Fork, where we spent the night. After a bunch of research on tires, we’ll hit Big O tire in Springville at 7AM to see what they can offer us. By the time we are out of here, we’ll have lost about a day.
Below is the planned route for yesterday … We are 3/4 of the way there.
And, the tire:
Finally, the phone issue. For five hours on Sat night/Sunday morning my phone showed no signs of life. Then, at 2am, when I happened to be awake, it popped on with a Facebook alert. After talking it over with Ann, we decided we would go ahead and upgrade my phone (it had been three years), as I no longer trusted it. We left early, reaching Twin Falls, Idaho, just as the store opened.
Purchasing the phone went fairly efficiently, though the transfer of info was slow, so slow that after we left some of my apps were still loading. By the time the tire blew four hours later, the apps were still loading. So, no Priceline app to reserve the hotel room in Spanish Fork and no Yelp app to help me locate a restaurant that was open (it was Sunday night in Utah after all). For sure, these are 1st world problems, but they didn’t help my day!
Let’s hope tomorrow goes more smoothly.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Maury theorizes that this may have been used by the military as a type of bus stop on bases, where folks could go to grab a ride somewhere. He provided this photo as another example.
Original post: Scott was wondering if anyone had any history on this unusual sign?
“Original “Jeep Stop” sign, has some rust and damage. The “STOP” portion of the sign is embossed.
The Sign Measures Approximately 24 inches wide by 24 inches tall and is stamped steel.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/09/2018) Nice looking truck.

“I have decided to part with my stock workhorse driver 3A. This is a great “drive-it-like-it-is” rig or a perfect candidate for a body tub kit.
It’s ugly but a very solid driver. Most of the work you usually have to do when you drag home an old Jeep has been done.
I routinely drive this Jeep on 150+ mile day trips without issues. It’s seen off-roading adventures at the NH Trail Ride and Rausch Creek, PA. Used but not abused.
The Saturn overdrive allows easy cruising speeds of 55 mph or better. I pulled the original 3A motor and replaced with fresher, stronger MB motor out of a genset. I will include the original motor with the sale if you want it. I will also include a fully functioning period correct Scheneker snowplow with Hy-Lo pump, a worn but functional vinyl BestTop and doors, and a bolt on roll bar.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/13/2018) Looks solid.
https://capecod.craigslist.org/cto/d/1949-jeep-willys-wagon/6549494396.html
“This is a classic!! The first year they made 4 wheel drive for the wagon. It has an overdrive and gets up to 55MPH. Great in sand and snow. It is all original with exception of rear and front directional lights. Needs nothing. Lots of fun. Bought a 1988 Grand Wagoneer so I am not using this one anymore.”
