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: Was $1000. **SOLD**
Listed as a 1943, it looks more like a CJ-2A. The tires (vintage super swampers?) look in good shape with lots of tread.
“1943 Willy Jeep with clean title in hand
Haven’t started in 10 years, ran then
Never use 4500 lb. warn winch
Like new tires”
It runs, but that body looks like it is melting off. Still, hard to find late 3Bs like that.
“I have for sale. execelent running conditions need body work. frame excellent conditions”

Looks to be a DJ-3A body on a CJ-2A chassis.
“1948 Willy Jeep

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Disassembled for painting. Looks like there’s plenty of parts. Looks like a Koenig hardtop.
“I have all the parts for this 1954 Willys, has been disassembled for paint. Original numbers matching engine. I am asking $1,500 OBO.”
Could be worth a look.
“1947 Willy’s Jeep. Jeep ran fine but was not used as I bought a new car. This was supposed to be a daily driver but given the 4wd and gearing it was not usable for commuting. Safari windows and tow bar are original. Engine is not stock. Currently a 6 cylinder Studebaker. Body is in great condition and electrical has been redone. Asking $2400 O.B.O. Must be able to haul away. Has a clean title. ”

“New – wiring, seats, gas tank, body, headrests, carburetor, lights, prime

No pics provided. Might be something or nothing. If it has a winch, it may have other updates.
“I have a 1942 willy It has new warn winch tire gas tank transmission plugs wires clutch destibuter more to mention.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
Did we conclude that Mavericks did not extend into 1961?
“2 Willys jeep wagons for parts. Red & white is a 1961 Mavrick 2wd. The front axle is not correct.
The otherone is a 4×4 with front and rear axles in place.
There are NO TITLES, bill of sale only.
$1400.00 for both jeeps. Will take a F head 134 engine as partial trade.
Must be crack free and able to be rebuilt.
Will consider a running F134, with the two jeeps as partial payment. Let’s talk.”
Last week we decided to go camping this week so we could find a dark place to watch the falling stars (supposed to be a great couple nights for it), but that idea was threatened when I got sick on Monday evening. I recovered enough Wednesday morning that we decided to give camping a shot, though I was required by my better half to drink some caffeine early in the day because I was abnormally spacey. Once I was sufficiently caffeinated, we drove to Wanapum State Park, just south of the small town of Vantage, Washington, and just north of Wanapum Dam.
I’m glad we made the trip, because it feels great to be sitting on the edge of the Columbia River, the warm wind blowing through trees and the smell of sage swirling around us. I’m recovering quite happily. We have a private spot with a beautiful view of the Wanapum Dam’s blinking lights. The moon is half-lit and the curtain is falling on the stars. It’s a perfect evening.
Before the sun set.
Twilight.
Me preparing posts in my lounge chair.
It took a chance on this January 1957 issue of True Adventures and bought it on eBay hoping to find an article that included jeeps. But, I struck out. There was nothing but scantily clad women (not that I was complaining), fantastical stories, and silly advertisements.
