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 $6000.
The VIN is listed at 179486, which would make it a ’48.
“V8 small block engine
good conditions
off road
very good”
This has rack and pinion steering? I’m curious to see how that was setup.
“1946 Willys Jeep. First year civilian model. Buick V-6, Rack and pinion steering, 4 wheel disc brakes, rhino lined tub, new gauges and distributor in 2010, reupholstered Camaro seats and new fuel tank in 2011. Also has front and rear hitches and front tow bar. Good Michelin tires.
No I don’t want to trade for anything. No I won’t take your fake check and hold it for a few days while your shipper arrives no matter how interested you are. The bottom line is I don’t need help selling it and scammers won’t get anywhere.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Could use some better pics, but it sounds like there’s potential here.
“Runs and drives, in fairly decent shape.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**… Was $150.
Looks like a CJ-5 top, but I can’t tell for sure.
“Hard top and doors is for 52 Willy in fair condition minor rust”
There could be value here. It’s a project.
“This is a rare military jeep. Text me if interested $2,500. Project jeep it has a Dana axels and transfer case.”

(10/15/2016) Interesting side step on this CJ-6.
“A work of art in progress, I’ve put in considerable $$$ into this project: rebuilt engine, new suspension, major body work and some other restoration
Must sell due to financial circumstances, I have OVER $11k into this rig, am willing to take a loss just to get some cash (lost job, must move) – receipts available for all work done
only 50k units ever made (fewer than 2k/year from 1955-1971)
Original (rebuilt) “Hurricane” F-134 engine , T-90 3-speed w/OD tranny, Dana 18 T-case, Dana 25 rear w/5:38 granny low, Full White Top/Doors, Custom Made Black Bikini Top, Roll Bar, Hi-Lift Jack, Lockable Storage Box, Swing-Down Towbar, PTO Outlet, All New Tires, All New Brake Cylinders”
This October 1954 photo and caption from Kaiser Willys News underscores how confident Willys Motors was about the coming year and their new CJ-5 model. About this time there was an explosion of new brochures and mailers, so Willys Motors did what it could to generate excitement about the commercial and utility market.
This is a neat piece.

That’s a stark photo, but also a very thoughtful one if the photographer is correct.
“1946 Press Photo Jeeps and Studebaker Trucks That Helped Russia Win the War. This is an original press photo. This is typical of the destruction of Stalingrad, where workers and farmers pitched in to help the Red Army hold. These two Russian Chauffeurs say jeeps and studebaker trucks helped Russia win the war. They suggested Strohm take this picture so he could tell the American people they appreciated the things we sent them in lend-lease. Photo measures 9 x 7.25 inches. Photo is dated 10-04-1946.”
