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 $1200.
(08/22/2011) “I’ve got a 48 willys that isn’t the prettiest, but with some work it could be a very nice jeep. I’ve had it for two years, but now its time to part. As you can see from the pic its not to rough and since in mt possession it has been abused. The engine and trans are the original. Someone changed the air filter at some point in time in its existence, so the original oil bath is gone”
Walter spotted this. No pics provided.

(07/31/2012) There are some unusual mods, similar to the jeep boat for sale last year.
“I have a 1943 ford gpw military jeep for trade. It is basically the same as a willys. Willys could not keep up with production for the military so they contracted other companies to produce them and ford was one of them. It is a 4 x 4 and the motor was rebuilt many years ago and was running before it was garaged. the jeep is free of all back taxes because it has not been registered in 20 to 30 years. maybe more. The body has rust and has been modified so it now looks like a truck but it is repairable and has lots of potential. I took pictures but somehow i cant get them loaded into my computer. I will post them as soon as I can. I am looking to trade for a chevy astro, gmc safari or a chevy / gmc 1500 truck. standard bed and cab, 2 wheel drive, 2 door, preferably with working a/c. blazers, tahoe, yukon is fine too. I will take any other trades into consideration as well such as a economical japanese car with a/c or vintage volkswagon. if interested, please reply to this ad through email. replies with photos of their trades and a phone number will have first priority.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(11/14/2012) There’s some value here.
“Have 2 1942 Ford GPW jeeps. Oregon Titles.
Restorable or used for parts
1 framed off
Many misc. parts.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“Up for auction is a 1951 Jeep Willys CJ3Awith 43,037 miles. I was told this was actual mileage but can’t confirm due to how old the Jeep is. I always wanted a willys so I purchased the Jeep with the intentions of restoring it but currently have tooooooooooooo many projects going and need to make some room. Jeep comes with it’s Original Common Wealth of Virginia Title from 1951 which has been framed to preserve and display it. This Jeep was owned by the same family it’s whole life and has been sitting for quite awhile. I was told it was running when parked but can not verify. Jeep has all of it’s original fenders, front grille, Windshield frame, tailgate, Motor & driveline, rear mounted spare tire carrier, 5 Wheels & Tires (rubber is cracked and they leak air), Driver side seat, and also a registratable Title which is in the original owners sons name so you don’t have to let go of the original. I have uploaded numerous pictures to detail the condition of the parts. I would say this Jeep is around 90-95% complete. I hate to let it go and hopefully she’ll find a nice new owner to restore her to her original beauty. This was a Farm Jeep and the Body, All sheet metal, panels & Frame are Rock solid.”
Buz found this photograph in a Detroit forum archive while searching for something else You have to scroll half way down to see the picture. The CJ-2A in the rear is a VEC. I can’t quite tell about the one in front.

“A Vintage 1950s Ideal Roy Rogers Fix-It Chuck Wagon & Jeep in the Original Box. Set in near complete. Contents and condition are as follows: the box, measuring about 24 inches by 8 inches by 4 ½ inches, is in nice condition with a little warping on the lid and some water stains at various places. The chuck wagon, jeep and all figures and accessories are in excellent undamaged condition (the right front wheel has a hairline crack that runs halfway through it, but you can barely see it and it work fine). Please see photo for contents of lot—accessories look complete except there is no triangle or bar for the jack. The rear tail gate, which has some fragile clasps, is undamaged and does fold down. Please see photos for condition and also ask questions if anything is unclear.”
