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 .
This ad appeared in the September 5, 1946, issue of the Toledo Blade. The civilian jeep was barely a year old, yet Sears was already offering replacement engines and other parts. That’s because part of Willys-Overland’s strategy, as early as 1944, was to push the engine apart from the jeep. The company highlighted this during their 1944 annual report (a page of which is featured below this ad).
Page from the 1944 Willys Overland Annual Report:
Dallas is giving away these used tires.
“I have three 7.00×16 military non-directional tires off a ’59 CJ5 jeep. They are made by Mansfield. Not sure how old they are; definitely well-used but hold up well (they need inner tubes). I drove them until recently when I decided to replace the entire set. Would make great spare tires for a military/cj jeep. Free to anyone willing to come pick them up in the Fort Rucker area.”

If you look at the photo of the first jeep, it reads “JEEP” on the windshield, suggesting this might have been a CJ-2 or earlier vehicle.
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $4.95.
Given the $4.95 price and the CJ-2A windshield shown on the box, this must be pretty old.
“NOS Rifle gun rack, new in box.”

Looks promising.
“1946 Willy Jeep – sales price is firm for jeep as is. The Jeep’s engine has been rebuilt (2015) – but the vehicle has not been used for roughly 7 months, thus the engine needs some work to get it running again – but is in great shape and won’t be a project. The body is patina with some minor rust – but no structural problems. Its been used for business purposes but we have decided to move on to a modern truck. Interior is in excellent shape. I will get VIN and odometer on Craigslist shortly – we do have clean title.”
