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 .

(04/17/2012) This is only 2wd. Looks nice though.

(03/15/2012) Hard to say just how much value is here.
“I DO have a Kansas title to it!!
The running gear and engine seem to be in working order, the engine does turn over freely, and was last running about 10 years ago.
There is a “rebuild tag on the engine dated 12/12/44. The engine and transmission (T84) are both Ford and have the “F” on the bolts. The oil filter is also marked for ARMY use.
It has the two front seats, glove box on the passenger side( one information plate is missing), the fire extinguisher bracket is still intact, and the original foot pedals are there. ALSO, throwing in a ton of extra parts!!
The tub is rough (mainly floor pan rust), but easy to restore, the frame has previous damage the the front horns,
and has been sitting for 45 years. The fenders are in good condition, but them and the hood are homemade (good looking work though).
Things that are missing is the back seat, windshield frame, and rear drive shaft, and some gauges.
If you have more questions feel free to ask”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**

“Willis Jeep, 1956 cj3, Runs and Drives good, 4 wheel drive works, original body and drive train, Good jeep to restore.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(02/10/2012) The fenders appear to have an unusual mod in the front. The body looks more like a replacement fiberglass body than a ’48 body. The rear axle looks CJ-2Aish. Overall it looks like a solid build.
“1948 WILLYS JEEP ON 1942 GPW FRAME. RUNS AND DRIVES WELL. VERY GOOD OVERALL CONDITION. WINCH AND SOFT TOP (NOT PICTURED) INCLUDED $4995 208-FIVE 7 THREE-SIX TWO 5 FIVE”

Here’s a photograph from a December 1941 issue of Mechanix Magazine that shows a Ford GP participating in war games at the dawn of the US’s official entry into WWII.

Steve forwarded this video of Tim’s jeep Priority running the Hill Climb at the Adventure Park in Monroe, Washington. I don’t know anything about the Park, but here’s a link to the website. Here’s an article about the “Prison Break” event. Here’s the Facebook page.
Priority is powered by an aluminum V-8 followed by a Ford Top-loader four speed that used to be in my father’s jeep. It’s got a Parkette fiberglass body with a Bobcat hood. He runs an independent suspension that has been updated since I last saw the jeep, so I’m looking forward to my next climb underneath it.
This looks very nice, but isn’t entirely original.
