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: This appears sold. Was priced at $2800.
(11/10/2012) Lots of mods.

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $15000.
(10/21/2012) If this is a 1941, it should have a squared gas tank and be a slatgrille. I did a search for a “General Ralph Pangonis”, but could only find a General William Pangonis, who supervised logistical operations during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

(11/05/2012) I think this should have chrome bumpers like the jeep above. Still, this looks in good shape.
“1967 Jeep CJ6 (20″ longer than a CJ5). This is the Tuxedo Park Mark IV model, which amounts to chrome on hindges, etc. This jeep has the Duantless (hurricane) GM V6 engine which was stock, the first engine Jeep went to after the F & L four cylinder flat head engines. This jeep comes with the original hard top & hard doors, which all have new glass (i bought it from a fellow who owned a glass shop). The previous owner did a frame up restoration (no drive train that i know of). I have done the following to the jeep: new wiring harness; front disc brakes; power steering; tilt steering; larger gas tank under the rear end; changed the manual 3 speed transmission to a 4 speed with a granny gear (the tranny needs some work as 2nd gear is tough going in); replaced oil bath air filter with a dry element air filter; rebuilt transfer case; new oil pressure, temp, tachometer, fuel & volt gauges; electric heater; kenwood stereo (not a modern blue tooth/USB type, it was a few years ago). This jeep has a PTO winch on the front, will pull itself up a tree! Bridgestone mud dueler tires, you won’t need tires for several years to come. Tow bar. It comes with two rear seats, the original & an after market folding rear seat from JC Whitney. CB radio. Sad to say i am selling this jeep to buy a newer one, the newer ones are easier to get in & out of, my knees are getting old! If you don’t like the price make me an offer to buy or trade for a newer jeep that has bigger door openings!”
I ran across this article yesterday. Some college students at the Ontario, Canada, college of Notre Dame plan to restore a 1943 Willys. The picture comes from the Welland Tribune’s online article.

Here are a couple different postcards of a DJ-3A Surrey towing some kind of visitor car at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, MI. The Bavarian Inn is still there. I wonder what happened to the jeep?

Pictured here are a couple Willys MAs. I spotted the pictured at http://med-dept.com/testimonies/harold_okeefe.php
This is located in Israel. It’s just kind of unusual, so I thought I’d highlight it.

Anyone have the right 1904 Holley (or 1909?) for the f-head installation into a flattie? I’m trying to help a reader find one.
If I understand correctly, these are the correct carb numbers: R-2003A und R-2003-1A (Ford p / n of CODE-9510B or CODE-9510D)
Here are some links with information about the Holley carb / f-head / flattie install

UPDATE: Was $5500. **SOLD**
This has not been restored. However, it has been dented.
“This Jeep has been in my family for years! (66 YEARS OLD) – EXCELLENT CONDITION!
ORIGINAL!!
Have title and body indicates “Willy’s Body CJ-2A Willy’s Overland Motors, Inc., Loledo, OH (USA)”
Always garaged NOT an off-body restoration!”
A diamond in the rough? Or just rough?
“Original condition, complete 1949 Jeepster. Parked (and hasn’t been run) since 1970. Was running when parked. All there, little rust, great project. Call or text 301-606-3893.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
This had a V8 swap in it. It has very early data plates, which suggests it was a VEC. It also has the tool indents. I can’t tell if it has a column shift still or not. It has the square washers on the windshield.
“i have a 46 willys jeep project. to many projects need to sell. it had a sb chevy in it. no titel bill of sale. i do have the engine that was in it but it was locked up . 1200 obo”
