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 .

This mailing brochure looks targeted toward service station owners. Neat piece.

The Jeeps cycle club was first organized before the creation of the jeep in 1936 according to the info on the eBay ad. Certainly an unusual piece.

“This is a 1963 Willys Jeep CJ-5 that has a working hydraulic plow. The engine is a 225 Buick V6 engine that came out of a 1970 Jeep CJ-5. It has the original transmission and transfer case with the 3 speed and reverse. The engine does run a little rough and backfires on the drivers bank. I put new spark plugs, cap and rotor, wires, coil, and condenser on it and it smoothed out some but not all. I have only used it last winter and it worked great. I replaced all brake components including the master cylinder, all 4 wheel cylinders, and brake lines. It has brand new 4×4 lockout hubs on the front. The headlights on the jeep as well as the ones on the plow work.
It has the original drivers seat in it and I also have the original passenger seat that will be included if the purchaser wants it. It runs off a small plastic gas can. I have the original that was mounted under the drivers seat again, if the purchaser wants it. The plow looks 5-5 1/2 feet wide (I have not measured it). The front tires are the stock skinny size, the rears are wider (not sure what size) but all have good tread. I never got stuck with it and the 4×4 works great. The hydraulic pump for the plow does leak some. I’m not sure where but it is a very slow leak. The pump was manufactured in Grand Rapids Michigan. It has a homemade roof from steel bars, osb board and a couple 2×4’s. It will not come with a battery but I have one that can be used so you can hear it run and drive onto a trailer. It would be roadworthy if it had brake lights and turn signals that worked. “
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
This is listed as an ‘un-molested CJ-2A’. However, this body has a glove box, the bumpers aren’t original, the hood latches aren’t original, the windshield is wrong, and more.
