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 .
Built as a tribute to his father who participated in D-Day invasion of Utah Beach in Normandy, Ron Fagen opened the Fagen Fighters World War II Museum in September of 2012 at his hometown of Granite Falls, MN, Along with a collection of WWII airplanes, the collection also includes the GPW used by Omar Bradley during the Invasion. I’ve only found this one:
Here’s a neat overview of one diorama taken by Jody Phipps. The jeep isn’t shown.
This appears to be a variant of the Crosley Pup (see post from Jan 1). The size, the front end and the wheels look similar. The fenders are rounded. Possibly it is a prototype?

Not sure if perching a jeep on jerry cans was an approved mechanical strategy, but seems to work for these guys. I don’t remember ever seeing that done.

The seller labels this a 1945 Military Jeep M-38. It looks more like a non-military CJ-5. Someone went all out with the deer blind mods! Definitely one-of-a-kind!
“Today we have for sale a Military Willys M38 Jeep that was converted and used as a deer blind for hunting in south Texas.
The engine was removed after an attempt to restore the jeep but it has been left unattended for a long time. Situations in the family changed that won’t allow this to happen.

This looks great, though I’m a little surprised it wasn’t redone with the column shift. That got me thinking, was it possible to order an early CJ-2A with a floor shift?
“Very early production with matching numbers. This Jeep has undergone a complete ground-up restoration to original condition. It has the original 134cid 4 cylinder engine and T90 3-speed manual transmission with T-18 Spicer transfer case. Each and every piece on the classic Jeep has been dissembled, media blasted, rebuilt, reconditioned or replaced to achieve its as new condition.

Andy’s selling this VEC CJ-2A along with some nice extras.
“Very Nice and rare early production Cj2a. Has column shift transmission, and rare full rear PTO with drum pulley attachment. Jeep runs great, brakes will need some attention.
Body is overall in nice shape for the year. Has some issues in the floor braces. Frame is overall nice condition, has some added metal on the front bumper that can be fairly easily removed. Original rails and gussets are intact!

(01/09/2014) This jeep appears in the Miami Craigslist, but is actually located (as noted in the ad) in Honduras. Given the large speedometer, I suspect it is later than a ’53.
“WILL JEEP 53′ 4X4
Color : Red
Interior : Black leather
Motor : Hurricane 2.2L 75hp
Torque : 114 pd Force-feet
Tires : All Terrain Comanche
Rim : 15 inch
Fuel type : Gasoline
This Willy Jeep is in great running conditions engine like new. The only problem this car is NOT in the US. Buyer will need to arrange on how to ship from South America (Honduras).
