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 .

“Looking to sell my 1948 CJ2A. Jeep is all original drive train, rebuilt body. It has a clear Florida title but is not currently registered. I use it for driving around my property and I keep it under shelter and out of the rain. The person who rebuilt the body moved the gas tank to the back seat location with a large fuel cell. It runs great and I recently flushed and filled the transmission, removed the oil pan to clean and replaced the oil filter and canister. Only trades considered would be a nice side by side to work on my property and play with.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. Now on Craigslist for $275.
This unique rare sign originally from Belchertown, Massachusetts, is made of wood. It’s amazing it has survived. It is just under 1′ x 3′. Seller is taking offers.

I found a 1961 article in the Chicago Tribune announcing the Willys Convertible Jeep. In actuality, it’s an announcement of the Tuxedo Park series of CJ-5. Interesting that it was positioned as a convertible.

“I have a 1954 Willys CJ-3B for sale. This vehicle runs and shifts just as it should. I have owned this Willys for about a year and done the following work.
New brakes (front and rear shoes and drums)
New brake lines
New complete exhaust system

The previous owner said the engine and transmission was re-built about five years ago. Both work as they should. This one has a three speed transmission with a overdrive. You can keep up with traffic and drive at 60MPH all day. Please see the pictures for more information. This is truly is a nice Willys. Let me know if you have any questions.”

“his jeep was used in the film industry. It would be good for a restoration. I had put a new gas tank, rebuilt carb and rebuilt starter and new battery. The electrical has been converted to 12 volts. It also has a Stainless steel role bar with lights. It needs a ring gear for fly wheel. I have the part. I have all the parts that are NOT seen in picture. I am disabled and cannot finish. Done all I can. This jeep deserves a full restore. It has a PTO winch in the back. Needs paint and small amount of body work (hood and driver fender). All original parts also some extra parts that come with it.”
