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 .

This unfortunate policeman fell out of the jeep. I wonder if there were a series of pictures that captured this.
“This is an original press photo. Credit-Cleveland PressPhoto measures 7.25 x 8.75inches. Photo is dated 03-25-1952.”

This looks good.
“Up for sale is a 1956 WILLYS-OVERLAND M38A1 (CJ5). This vehicle is in great shape, she has had a full mechanical restoration, Brand new tires, 12 volt system, rebuilt the original motor, clutch and transmission.
The final pieces of the restoration would be to do some light paint work, However it is not necessary. She runs and drives EXCELLENT.
This is a chance to own real AMERICAN HISTORY, I do not have the original prominence. This is a true military Willy’s-Overland and not a converted CJ5.
Please feel free to Contact me with any questions!
Call Matt @ 727-459-6957”

This looks like a good price.
“I have 2 1952 Willys CJ-3A jeeps ….One has been taken apart and sandblasted and primed. The frame has been sandblasted and painted all the running gear has been redone with new parts. I have all the pieces to complete this jeep. Minus the motor and transmission. Thats where the second Jeep comes in. It has a pretty rough body,but the motor and tranny are good. It runs and drives,but it blew a head gasket and I have not fixed it yet. I also have a rare Willys Jeep Bed Extender that is included in the deal. I would like to sell all of this as a package deal. There is enough pieces and parts to make one good Jeep and have some parts left over. I have a good clear title ofor the Jeep that is in pieces. I am asking $2000.00 for all it or make me an offer. Email this post for more info or more pictures.”

“The 1967 Willies CJ-6 jeep was only manufactured for the military and civilian law enforcement. This particular jeep was the Los Angeles County California Search and Rescue vehicle. Very limited use, mostly in parades and such with only 42,000 original miles. This jeep is in excellent original condition with minor upgrades, like law enforcements electrical package. No tears in the seats and no body rust. Features one of the best off road tire packages. Cooper Discover STT, M&S, 32X11.50 R 15LT, Load Range C and Ultra custom wheels. Paid $4,000 for the tire & wheel package alone and they have maybe 200 miles on them. Have the original tires and wheels, which will go with the jeep. Hard to find original PTO wench and the virtually indestructible 4 cylinder motor, new exhaust. Runs great. Been parked for the last few years, so I’ll throw in a new battery. This is truly a very rare collectable. $12,000 Located in Boise, Idaho.”

“1974 AMC Jeep DJ-5C Mail Jeep
Used for mail delivery for 2 years but got a newer one and it’s been sitting for about 2 years.
Features:
New Radiator
New Water Pump
New Alternator
New head Gasket Set about 6 months before parking it
Transmission rebuilt by Aamco about 1 year before parking it
Good tires
All lights work including flasher mail sign on top
Heater works great!
Right hand drive
back door for easy mail & package packing
has mail platform on left side for stacking mail trays
has plenty of room even during Christmas season!
Body is in fair condition.
It comes with a floor pan for drivers side, I just never had time to weld it in.
It also comes with a new windshield and gasket that I never got around to installing.
It also comes with a new set of brake shoes… front or back.
Previous owner lost door keys so pad locks were installed to secure the mail.
It needs a drivers side window, wheel cylinders and master cylinder. BRAKES need to be repaired before driving home or you can tow it home.
Great for rural mail routes. Might be a nice alternative to a golf cart for camp/hunting grounds or farm.”
