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 .
Appears to have parts value at the very least.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $995.
No engine. No gauges on the dash.
“Previous owner said this was a 1952 Willys… No idea what exact model. There is no title and no engine currently in the Jeep.
It had a Chevy 350 in it at one point and is still set up for that. It has what appears to be the original transmission (with a 350 bell housing), the original transfer case, driveshafts, and axles. The frame appears solid and has been boxed in. The body is rough but but it’s still there and solid enough for a trail/ farm rig. Make me an offer! Phone calls only please!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(10/04/2015) Listed as a 1942 CJ-2A, it looks like it could be a 3A.
“1942 CJ2A Jeep Willys
The Jeep is in decent condition for its age. It was restored in the early 80″s and rarely driven or used. Up until a year ago it was garage kept. It has all the original equipment and was running well when last driven in 1997.

The internet is moving at a snail’s pace for some reason this evening, so only a few updates tonight. We went to the movies and saw the Martian tonight. For some reason my wife and an ex-girlfriend of mine both think Matt Damon’s character reminds them of me? Maybe the just want to stick me on a planet far far away? Hmmmmmm.

I ran across this article that shares Lee Holland’s efforts to replicate a working WWII motor pool. The building’s interior was organized based on actual motor pool plans. You can learn all about it at the Hopewell News: http://www.hopewellnews.com/article_7861.shtml
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Jake’s selling this truck and parts.
“hi there, i have a 1951? willy’s pickup truck for sale. it is an early truck because it has the split rear axle, split windshield and early gauge cluster. Engine runs great. has the f134 overhead vale 75hp engine. she moves and shifts great. IT IS A 4X4 1 Ton pickup… at least back in 1951 it was rated as a 1 ton 😛 she does not have brakes 😛 body is so so…Needs love. Frame has rust out in some spots but it was common on the willys pickup trucks. i have another frame that can be used to repair some of it. that frame has rust out too. have another cab with glass in it that is not cracked and i have very good glass for the front windshield. have another set of axles that comes with it to… they have locking hubs and are from a later willys pickup but would great on this truck too. i have a bunch of the harder to find parts for this pickup too like glass for the marking lights and stuff like that.
this willys would make a GREAT winter project. i have too many projects and could use the money for better uses like for my wedding 🙂 the cons are: i dont have a title for it and there is not a vin tag on it so that would be a hurdle you would have to cross at some time.”
UPDATE: Still Available. It has no engine.

For those not on Facebook’s Austin Bantam Society’s page, you missed some great photos from BRC75, the seventieth anniversary of the original Bantam BRC. Bill Spear discusses the Bantam’s origins on this post. Both photos below were taken at one of the group’s event at the U.S. Veterans Memorial Museum.
Here’s an unusual photo of a Bantam BRC-60 dressed in white.

UPDATE: Mystery solved. I found a couple brochures about this top. They were published in a 1947ish Willys Overland Equipment Book (thanks to Jon for letting me scan that particular folder). The suicide doors were original to this top. Examples of The Boston Top below:
he first two photos show Spencer Landers’ top on two different jeeps.
