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 .
Looks like a good price for a working vintage winch. I’d pick this up for Biscuit if I were closer.

“Used electric Ramsey 8,000 pound winch. Works fine, cable is ugly. Super cool winch, would look amazing on an old truck or jeep!”

“1948 CJ-2A with CJ-3A windshield with clear title. L134 Flathead, 3 speed T-90 tranny and Dana 18 Transfer case, and Carter 636SA carb. Always garaged and driven in good weather. Starts and drives perfectly, with smooth shifting gears and working 4 wheel drive. Bestop top with doors. Converted to 12V. High torque mini starter with key start and electronic ignition. Good Cooper Discoverer tires, turn signals, seat belts, solid frame, original body, and floor panels with no rust or bondo. Sidesteps, tow bar and floor mats. Has shift lever for what I believe is part of the PTO under the lever. See photos for history since owned.”
This has a rear pto gearbox setup. It may also have a Bobcat fiberglass body.

Nick is selling his very rare Valentine-built CJ-3A APUs. He’s done a great job of uncovering the history of these Valentine APUs and sharing it with the jeep community.”
“These Willy-Overland CJ-3A utility vehicles were converted into auxiliary power units for the US Navy in the 1950s by the Valentine Welder & Manufacturing Company for use in starting jet aircraft engines. Both vehicles are finished in yellow and equipped with a seven-slot grille, flat front fenders, a single-seat operator’s station, and power take-off equipment. The pair includes an NC-2 mobile power plant that was designed for use on aircraft carriers and modified with rear-wheel steering, front-wheel drive, and a rear equipment platform. The other truck is one of approximately 75 such units modified into an NA-4 ground-based mobile APU and is fitted with a replacement Willys F-134 inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission. The engine has been removed from the NC-2 and is included in the sale.”
It’s a rough one.

“Jeep is in its original condition from the military, our county got it from the Illinois emergency service agency in 1980 and by 1986 they parked it. It has been sitting ever since. Engine is stuck, comes with top with all the sides. I also have a lot of parts I have been collecting to get the Jeep running, I don’t have the time for it right now.”
Unclear how much value is here. It has a dilapidated Porter & Reed hardtop.

“Selling my 1950 Jeep CJ 3A. I was going to put an engine in it and drive it as is but have lost interest in the project. The frame is very solid. No rusted through spots or repairs to it. The body is very rough. Im sure someone could fix it. I was just going to leave it as is. Sold with Bill of sale”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(01/12/2024) The red CJ-2A looks in reasonable shape. Note the hubs on the blue jeep (last pic). I thought those might be McCain hubs, but they are not.

This eight page Jeep News volume 10, number 3, begins with the news that 53 Wagoneers were in daily use around the 1964 World’s Fair in New York. The paper also reported the presentation of a WWII jeep to the Smithsonian Institution for display. Pages 2-5 also cover the World’s Fair.
Page six introduces the CJ-5 and CJ-6 Tuxedo Park Mark IV models. Page seven covers the World’s Fair, again. Page eight covers international news, including an Amsterdam show featuring a van-like custom body on an FC-170 chassis.
