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 $3100.

Mike has this early Jeep-A-Trench for sale. It is complete and works. It is Model 103 Serial number #785.”
I cooked dinner and enjoyed a movie with my wife tonight, so no updates on Thursday.
UPDATE: Ted sent me more pics
Ted sent me a picture of his friend Jim’s jeeps. If anyone knows of a Mahl front loader, Jim would like to buy one.
Here’s the short list on all its options:
Koenig twin stick PTO
Ramsey front winch
K+K side mount sicle bar
Three point hitch with Newgen Buzz Saw
extremely rare Canfield fold out wrecker assembly
Westinghouse PT1 compressor under the hood
Dual wheel adapters front and rear
Ge welder which came from a parts jeep that had paperwork showing the factory option welder cost more than the actual cost of jeep itself back in 1946.
Every thing works as it should with the exception of the welder ,which actually has been tested out and works great but is not hooked up because with all the work done to this jeep in the restoration Jim could not bring himself to cut out the tool box section to install welder.
Canfield wrecker has been converted to armstrong type ,to make room on mid PTO pulley for KandK bar.
About all we figure the Willys needs now to complete the swiss army effect is a Mahl front end loader if anyone has one for sale.
Ted’s CJ-5 was narrowly spared by Hurricane Sandy. Great pics!
Ted writes, “Hey Dave, here’s a few shots of a huge tree that came down during Sandy and almost got my new plow truck. I almost moved the CJ and my dump truck in back round before storm but never got to it. I got real lucky, the little CJ pushed her way through three and two feet deep snow storms later in the year!!!”
Marc spotted this neat ad from an issue of December 1945 Motor Age Magazine. The ad was already sold on eBay, but I found an issue of the entire magazine still for sale on eBay.

UPDAT: Was $10,000. **SOLD**
This was a navy Jeep. Plenty to read about this one.
“I’ve had this great running little jeep for several years. I’m thinking I may want to pursue a different hobby so it may be time for my Jeep to move to a new home. I purchased this from a friend of mine (WWII aircraft mechanic) that used it at Centennial Airport to pull vintage airplanes around the hanger. The reported history is it was originally purchased by the US Navy in Hawaii and used as a shore patrol or similar right after the war. Although there were many Army jeeps in the area, the Navy purchased a few right after the war directly from local dealers (sounds like a mini-stimulus program). I verified this info from a WWII Jeep forum on the web called G503.com.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
“I have a 1947 Willy’s Flat Fender CJ-2 (Fully Restored). Chevy V8 350. 4WD with Centerline Rims and Bridgestone tires. Radio/CB. Please make offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was auctioned.
I don’t see much rust or rot.
“1948 CJ2A jeep universal. To be sold at auction May 4th 2013”
I can’t imagine these appear too often??
“AN/TVS-3 Searchlight. These units came out an Air Force base and are powered by 120/240volt 400hz. It appears to be in great condition but we do not have the proper generator to power these units. I do however know where a couple are located and will pass that information along to any successful bidders. Please visit out website Shop Military Stuff for more information and additional pictures.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This runs, has not title, and needs work.
“I bought this GPW for the original top bows that it had and because she is a driver. I will provide a bill of sale only, no title. Due to that fact, I’m selling it as a parts jeep. I planned to part it out but have decided to sell it as is since she’s a runner and I’m sure the right person can enjoy it for what it is. If I don’t sell it I will use it around my property to move stuff around. It appears to be a radio jeep due to four mounting holes on the fender well in the rear driver side by the tool box. It also appears to have had a machine gun due to the four holes on the floor where the machine gun mount on the frame is. The frame is decent with vin that matches the glove box. Engine is an MB engine. Original paint can be seen where the civilian paint has been pressure washed off in many places. The early windshield in the picture was removed but I have another early windshield with brass latches that will be included. It will however need some repair.
The bod looks in good shape.
“I have a fiberglass willies with small block Chevy and turbo 400 transmission motor has a knock believe something is wrong with transfer case also great body great potential to be made a racer again or used as parts 1200 or best offer trades considered Motorhead and Hunter let me know what you got text me 1802 376 7654”
