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 .
I think this has Kelly doors mixed with Metro/Pentagon hardtop.

“Came off my 1954 willys truck, needs some repair on all four corners but is fixable. Size is 78″ wide, 75″ Long and center of wheel housing is 38″ from front.”
Parts or project. Body has rust. Grille suggests this is a later 2A.

“This listing is for a 1945 WWII era Willys Jeep. This vehicle does not run and was in barn storage for 60 years. The gas tank and gauges/instrumentation were modified. This Jeep would be ideal as a parts car or restoration project. There are some additional parts that will be provided with the purchase of the vehicle. Buyer is responsible for removal and transport of the vehicle after the sale is completed and title is transferred.”
The front axle is not installed. It has a Keonig hardtop.

“3 speed 4 wheel drive Studibaker 6 cylinder straight 6 No title Barn find Does not run Fun project No trades You load and haul”
DASH: Yesterday was the first true relief from the past few weeks of hot weather, as we only hit 90 degrees. Moreover, there are no more triple digit days currently forecast. The cool weather will make working in the shop more tolerable.
And, while I haven’t made the progress I’d hoped, progress was made. A couple of the delays were part-related, as Ron Francis ignition switch was delayed a week. I also went ahead and ordered an NOS speedometer from Barney Goodwin at Barney’s Jeep Parts, which arrived on Tuesday (thanks again Barney). It looks fantastic!
Most of the wiring is complete, but still some loose ends dangling. It feels like for the two weeks I’ve been saying, “almost there …”
Anyway, below are photos of the dash, one with the fuse box down and one with it stowed away (lower left corner of pic)
One of the dash challenges that still remains is to build that lower flashing
DRIVE: Last Friday we drove over to the west side (and 77 degree temps .. nice) to look at a motorhome. It was a 36′ 1996 Holiday Rambler diesel with a towing capacity of 15Klbs. It used to be owned by Rob Stafford, before he upgraded to a bus. We were very serious about buying it, until Ann had an asthmatic reaction to the musty interior smell. So, we felt it best to pass on the deal. (and out was a deal at $12k .. it sold within a few days). We’ve decided to increase the budget and look for something nicer.
Here’s another four-page service and parts news magazine. This issue includes some troubleshooting for f-head acceleration flat spots (page 3).
I found a great price on an unusual model from Red Y Cut: the Sport Jeep. So, I supposed I ought to say that I “HOPE” the jeep model is still inside! My guess is that this is a late 1940s model, but I don’t have any documentation for that.
This is a beautifully restored, rare model of fire jeep. There’s a little more information about this jeep here: https://cj3b.info/Fire/FireCJ2AConversions.html

“This jeep is a product of a two year restoration. It is beautiful, I need to bleed brakes from sitting and needs to run some old gas out other than that it’s mint as you see in all the pics. Everything works on this beauty. Take it to the parades ,add it to your collection, or just drive your grandkids around when they’re. Most of all when ua take wife on hot date you can put out the flames lmao. I would love to cash out but will take ,hot rod, street rod, muscle cars , old trucks , C7 Vette. . Trade need to be worth a little more than cash price. Thanks for enjoying the pics”
