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 .
Buz shared some photos from yesterday’s 2017 Southeast Willys Jeep Get Together. He estimated there were thirty jeeps in attendance. http://www.southeastwillysjeepgettogether.com
This first pic is actually from Merlin Hansen. It shows Rick Palchoski (Old Jeep Carbs) holding a clinic at the event.
Here are Buz’s photos:
I like this brochure. It includes some nice visuals of the Canfield Wrecker stowed in the back of the truck and jeep.
UPDATE: Still Available.
I suspect this is a 1948 CJ-2A with a 3B fiberglass body. It appears to be a Bobcat body based on the wide rim around the edge. Could be a good price.
“Willys high hood. Fiberglass tub and hood. Steel fenders, grille, and windshield frame. New gunmetal pearl paint. Buick 231 v6 with edelbrock carb and intake manifold. 3 speed transmission. Warn overdrive. Front disc brakes. Aluminum radiator. New seats. Soft with 1 small tear in back. 33’s with a lot of tread. Overall pretty nice rig.”

At least one has a rear PTO.
“1946 CJ2A less engine otherwise complete + original with matching numbers + rear PTO
1946 CJ2A runs with PTO on back of transfer case.
1946 CJ2A rolling chassis”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
This looks like a good price.

Ford and Willys made WW2 Jeeps for the military. All parts were interchangeable. This is a Ford “GPW” chassis and has many Ford “F” script marks on it.
It has been sandblasted, primed and painted. It is clean and straight with no modifications.
The rectangular plate on top of the frame crossmember in front of the rear axle is the machine gun mount. All WW2 Jeeps came equipped with this mount.
I built it as a display to show “The Parts That Make A WW2 Jeep Go”. Many of the parts are numbered, a sign next to the display describes the parts. I also marked some of the “F” script marks with orange paint. It’s currently at a museum in Rexburg.
Use it as a display, as a great start to your WW2 Jeep project or as a replacement for your bent, rusted and modified frame.
The $1750 price is for the rolling chassis only. The engine, transmission and transfer case are not included in this price.
The price including engine, transmission and transfer case is $2500. The transmission and transfer case are Ford GPW, the engine is a later Willys Jeep engine, probably from the late ’40’s to early ’50’s. Engine, trans and transfer do not work and will need to be rebuilt.
No title, bill of sale only.
I can transport as far as Bozeman, Jackson Hole, Ogden or Twin Falls”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9540.
(10/08/2017) Seller indicates it might need a better paint job.

Bill shared this funky old trailer. Might be perfect for someone.
“Vintage 1955 “Aristocrat” utility trailer. Similar to the Willys Jeep “Bantam” trailers. Bed is in very good condition and it has a nice working tailgate. Has good tires and a Nevada title as well.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.

“1946 CJ2A Willys. Chevy 327 engine, double hump aluminum heads, custom crank, 6″ Holley carburetor, Muncie 4 speed transmission, Mustang Mach 1 seats. This was my husband’s pet project. He has passed and this vehicle is looking for a good home. Engine was running 4 years ago. I have the original pink slip.”

White Automotive was based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The company sold different types of soft tops for a wide range of jeeps. They also sold tire covers, half-doors, spare-tire carriers, and other items. The brochures below are currently on eBay. The company also used the brand name Whitco and/or White Mfg. at times.
