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: Price dropped to $8250.

“I have a Willys cj3a for sale. Its basically a bare frame with all the main body components. Tub, fenders, hood, grill, tailgate, windshield frame. Plus a couple extra parts like a gas tank, soft doors, and a seat. Also a couple extra body parts. The tub has some rust out in the floor pans but nothing too crazy. I lost interest in it and its just taking space in my garage. The title says it’s a cj2a but the fender wells are notched and it has a 3a windshield. I’d like to break even on it or at least come as close as possible. My name is Trevor, Call, text, email doesn’t matter to me.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400
“This is 1944 Jeep from World War II made by Ford. In the pictures its the one that is green (red one sold long ago) It has the original drivetrain to include a GPW Ford engine, T84 trans and Ford Transfer case. Axles and steering are original. Windshield, bumperettes and many other parts are present. it’s a project that needs restoration. Engine and trans internals have been removed for inspection. Two engine connecting rods were removed for another engine. The block and trans case are usable. Trans and engine would need complete overhaul. Seats are not original to the jeep. Front frame horns will need repair. have aftermarket parts like bumper, fuel tank sump, hat channels etc that will go with it for free. Have an extra tub for parts if you want included for free. This jeep looks awesome in pictures but lots of bondo was used by someone. Lots of small misc parts and canvas for seats will go with this. Have bill of sale only. Will not part out sorry. Engine serial # is 92623, frame 248890, body 134777. Would consider trades for a WW2 1/2 ton chevy or dodge project worth the same or less.”
UPDATE: SOLD. Was $500.

This has a Toyota drivetrain.
“This is a great running jeep. It run and drives good with an all toyota drivetrain (20R engine, 5 speed transmission, toyota t case, and toyota 8″ front and rear end.) Great modification to the jeep and makes a lightweight jeep even lighter! The 20R moves the jeep down the road very well. IMO these were the best 4×4’s ever made, mainly because they were 2100 lbs from the factory! If you are looking for a fun toy this is it! It runs, drives, stops, steer, and starts all very well. Tires are almost brand new. comes with a brand new rebuilt 5 speed and rebuilt transfer case with 3.8:1 low gears swapped in it. $3800 OBO”

Marc spotted this article about a 500lb lightweight airborne jeep-like vehicle from a post on Jalopnik. The vehicle was feature in the July 1958 issue of Popular Mechanics (pg 83). It demonstrates that the lightweight airborne program that started during WWII was still ongoing.
