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 $2000.
It’s a project.
“1948 cj-2a, hasn’t ran since parked 2 years ago, body needs some work, its all there and original, 1 flat tire. Title in hand.”

“I have 2 willies jeeps ,no motor in ether one . all running gear is there. will make great mudder. also have a ford 2300 to go back in ,and original mtr is torn down. will take 1000 OBO .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
“I do not have the time to finish rebuilding my 46 jeep so I am selling it. This jeep has been completely taken apart for a frame off restoration. The body was shot so I had a new heavy guage body custom bent and cut out. The floor pan is 11 gauge steel and the rest of the body panels are 16 gauge steel. I sandblasted the entire frame inside and out. It has 3 coats of rustoleum primer with 3 coats of rustoleum black paint. The new body panels are bare metal and not rusted. I have several original body parts such as windshield, hood, firewall, grille, tailgate and front fenders. I have 2 complete hurricane 4cyl. motors. One motor has a bad cylinder. Neither one has run for over 10 years as this jeep was stored in a garage since the 60’s. I have extra complete front and rear axles with leaf springs also. I will not part out any parts except the extra axles. This jeep is currently stripped down to the frame and ready to start reassembly. This is mainly a package deal. Please call with any questions. Cash only.”
Peter shared photos of a few jeeps he used to own.
He writes, Enclosed several photos of Jeeps in the 1960’s which I thought might be of interest. Two of these were taken outside Metamet the Jeep dealers in Daleham mews London around 1966 at the time I was making regular trips for parts.
The other photos show my first jeep CJG which I regrettably soon found out was more suitable as spares. It had at some time been given some form of conversion and the body extended, the rear enclosed with planks ! An extra length towbar can be seen. This jeep was beyond ever getting being put back on the road so was soon disposed of.

Roger and I check out one of his DRW projects back in 2013.
Ron forwarded this ad. Gary is looking for booklets, information, and spare parts for FJs.
“I am interested in buying information on Jeep FleetVans both FJ3 postal van and FJ3-A Commercial van. Highway Products Company in Kent Ohio built and assembled the bodies for Jeep for the Post Office Delivery “FleetVans” from 1960-1966 +-
If you or a family member worked there and have any pictures, history, parts, blueprints, records from that time; please get in touch with me. I will be glad to buy originals or copies. The history on this vehicle is sparse; I’d like to improve that.
Also I am interested in buying parts or complete vehicles.”
Probably not too vintage, but still an interesting piece.
“This Cap Cod Jeep Club Badge was removed from a 2004 Jeep Wrangler. It is in good used condition and is guaranteed to work as it should. Measures: Approx. 4″ (inches)”
