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: Still Available.
(04/022/024) Appears solid. I thought I had posted this a couple weeks ago.

“1947 Willys CJ-2A, rebuilt engine with 1000 miles including radiator, clutch, rear end, all new brake system, shocks, springs, hangers. New tires, exhaust system, seats. All new glass in top and windshield. Runs great and good condition.”
Bill shared this article on MD Juan and some of the recent updates to their product line, along with some infrastructure updates. I know folks mock MD Juan at times, but their ability to manufacture inexpensive bodies means the company can’t invest heavily in additional equipment (chicken and egg situation). Nice to see the company continuing to support the vintage jeep community.
Here are three Willys Overland Export Corporation mailers in Spanish distributed in Ecuador. The look to be printed around 1960 given the blue ‘Jeep’ dot and the single-pane willys wagon. These are priced at $18.00 and are pretty rare.
Bill also shared this article regarding some new jeep-branded watches by Marathon. Maybe it will interest someone?
I haven’t worn a watch since about 2001 (by then I had a portable phone and computer as constant companions). I found over the years I didn’t like wearing watches, jewelry, bracelets or anything on my fingers. I don’t even wear my wedding ring often (thankfully I have a patient wife). I recently discovered my aunt has had a life-long aversion to wearing items on her fingers and wrist, so maybe a DNA thing?
This thread of a 1956 truck rebuild was shared by Bill. It looks like this has become a non-stock rebuild.
Andy shared this nice looking Cj-2A fire truck. Looks like the front bumper was updated at some point?

‘”This firetruck came from out west, it went tru an every nut and bolt restore. Everything on this jeep works and is included with the sale. It really belongs in a collection or in a fire department as a parade truck. It’s beautiful. It runs amazing and always starts. I will take muscle car, hot rod ,street rod etc trade but trades need to be worth 39/40k .”
Andy shared this dually. I’m surprised it is still for sale.

“Old Willys jeep no motor or transmission has Duel wheels under it for sale or trade PM me if interested”
The looks solid. Only the one pic provided.

“1953 CJ 3A Willy’s Jeep. $8,800.00. Can provide more information if interested.”
The tires, rims and flares scream 1980s jeep. Unusual fish hood ornament. I’m sure there’s a story there?

“1954 CJ3B. High hood Willy’s. Original, nice running engine.”
Runs and drives.

“Lot drives, new gastank & tires, PTO Winch, starts easy, restoration project, 98901”
I suspect this is an aftermarket CJ body atop a military chassis. The body has civilian aspects, but the rear cargo area has the boxes necessary to allow the vertical shocks seen on MBs and GPWs.

“Yellow & Black 1942 Jeep Willy. L134 go devil engine * Been stored in our garage * covered * ready for outdoor fun. Many recent upgrades (mirrors, brakes, soft top, rail & more.) Easy to tow ~ fun to drive!”
This has been listed for a year.
