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 .
MIght be a solid jeep.

“elling my 1947 CJ2A Willys. Came out with trencher on back, most of it is there, along with extra parts. Its been sitting at my place too long, so its time to sell. No title, I bought it from original owner, who said he never had a title. It was considered off road/farm equipment so he never had it titled. Has serial number, and have looked into getting title, won’t take much to get one for it. Asking $1000 for it. Wanna sell whole, and not sell parts. Lots of usable parts for another project or to fix up and drive as a jeep. Rims on jeep in pics are not rims going with jeep, those are off my other one. I have different rims and tires to put on jeep that sell with it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000. Might have had an MB body and chassis.

“I have a 1940-1950’s Willy Jeep truck. It looks to be in decent shape for it’s age and the fact that no one has taken care of it. At least one front tire is flat. It has been sitting in my driveway for a year. Would like to see someone take it and fix it up. Looking to get what we have in it so far, $2,500. You will need a trailer to haul it away.”

Don will be spending the next month traveling through New Mexico and Colorado. Lucky for us, he’s watching for jeeps. He spotted this redone CJ-2A at a Larry H. Miller Jeep-Chrysler-Dodge Ram dealership in Albuquerque. I guess we’ll be stopping in there during our next visit!
Paul Pulver is an art director assembling a team to do a photoshoot near Quincy, Washington, at Frenchman’s Coulee (not far from me). Most of his team his flying in from Pennsylvania. As he explains below, he’d like to rent a 1970s jeep from someone in the region for the photo shoot. He’s offering $1000 for the day plus a night in a motel for the jeep owner. The photoshoot is August 19th. If you are interested, contact Paul at paul.pulver@verizon.net, or give me a call at 610-517-5496. He’ll probably request a photo that shows the rear of the vehicle with its top removed.
His client wants a shot from behind towards the front of the vehicle with the models inside. An illusion of movement will be created, though the vehicle won’t be moving. Here are a couple of stock photos (though the second doesn’t show movement) that provide a flavor of what he’s been asked to produce. The photos below show a 1960s Ford Bronco:
I mentioned that some people have had good experiences and some bad with photo shoot/movies. He explained, I’ve had too many experiences with directors and photographers asking models/talent to do stupid things. I don’t work with people like that. That won’t happen here — I promise you.
I also asked about why type of 1970s CJs or Full-Size Jeeps’ he was considering (and provided links as he’s not a jeep expert). Other than being a convertible, it could be anything from a Jeepster Command to a CJ-5, CJ-6, CJ-7 or CJ-3B. I think a stock Bronco (as pictured above) or another vintage 4×4 from the sixties might also interest Paul.
Here’ s the email Paul sent with the details.
To introduce myself, my name is Paul Pulver. I work as an Art Director for Film and Television, and I’m currently working on a still photo shoot for The Vanguard Group (they’re a financial group that is marketing to employees at Google) that we’re going to be doing at Frenchman’s Coulee in Washington State.
I’m looking to rent a good looking vintage Jeep for the shoot, and I came across your website (which is great, by the way…I’ve learned a lot!) and I thought I’d reach out to you and your readers. Continue reading
