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 $2500. It turns out this was not the only Parkette body kit on the east coast. Paul Parker began making them in Georgia after returnig there. this has the “tear drop” Bobcat hood as well.
I wasn’t aware there was another parkette bodied complete jeep on the East Coast. According to what I was told, this was the only parkette body kit on the East Coast. It needs a different hood. It also looks like it has two different headlights.
“1949 Jeep Willys off road
Great for 4X4 off road or a scenic ride
Parkette kit
Great tires almost new and with aluminum rims
Engine runs great and is a 350 V8 Chevy
Only thing the jeep needs is a radiator
For the engine and tires alone you would pay the same amount, so this is a great deal
Cash only.
UPDATE: Back on eBay. Was recently listed for $43,000 on Craigslist.
“A full and complete body off frame restoration was performed several years ago with a “cost no object” budget and completed the same way a high caliber major concours classic would have been done. It features its F-Head “Lightning” four- cylinder engine, three speed manual transmissionThis is truly the best one of these vehicles you could find”

You might remember that we spotted this rare 1948 Willys Overland Package Delivery van a while back. The buyer decided he had to let it go, so Jesse volunteered to take on the project of restoring it. To get to Phoenix, the van has made its first stop in Missouri at Craig’s place.
Craig writes, “The 1948 Willys Overland Urban Package Delivery is 430 miles closer to it’s new home in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s resting at my place in Defiance, Missouri right now before I make the pilgrimage out there to Phoenix and back in a few weeks. Since the ’48 got its start on eWillys I thought it could use an update there as well. The pictures were taken just a stones throw south of Roxanna, Ohio where Roger Martin (pictured with me) brought it from its home in Lake Geneva, Ohio. It looks a little better with some rubber on the wheels! Craig @ thefcconnection”
Someone took the time to get some nice pictures with this jeep. It sure makes the jeep look good. I’m not even going to mention that this was the last year for the CJ-3A model, but not for the body (later used by DJs of course).
“Barn find original (mostly) CJ 3A, last year for this body style. 4 cylinder engine runs real smooth, 4WD works, goes down the road and up a trail fine. Licensed for the street, with a clean title ready to sell or trade. respond to craiglist reply. Thanks for looking”

Mike wrote to me yesterday. He’s looking to trade for a jeep.
Mike writes, “I discovered your website about a month ago while looking for a willys to fix up. I am looking for a 1940s or early ’50s willys that someone is willing to trade for a snowmobile and 2 place trailer (est. value of $2500). I am hoping you may be able to help me with this as i haven’t had much luck on my own. i would like to find one that needs some work, but not something i need to start from scratch with. as long as the motor isn’t frozen and there aren’t any holes in the body, i think i could work with that. I am located in central Ma, so something within 10hrs drive would be preferred.”
So, if you have anything you think Mike might like, contact him at: m.holm.sfd at gmail.com or contact me d@ewillys.com.
I really couldn’t say just how rare these toys are. However, there was one for sale in 2007 for only $65 at G503.
I did learn that the jeep on which this was based is called both a Willys MB Calliope or a MB with a Rocket Launcher unit. I’m sure someone else knows more about this than I.
“DANBURY MINT 40’s Willys World War II ROCKET LAUNCHER Jeep Replica with Detachable and Adjustable Angle Launcher. Produced in 1995. Finished in Olive Drab. Diecast 1:16 Scale.
VERY RARE! Great Collectible for the War Veteran or Military Collector. Beautiful Condition!
If interested, please contact Rose at 724.251.4772 or email a response to this posting.”

It could be the pics, but the underside doesn’t look like it’s been completely rebuilt and painted. Looks solid.
