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 .

“1946 Willys CJ2A- Reasonably complete but not running. Excellent project. Please call for details. (802) 324-9687”

“A true barn find, this 1952 CJ3A has been sitting in storage since 1987. I purchased this jeep last Feb in hopes of restoring it. There are a few pictures the day I found it. The motor had anti-freeze in the whole time it was in storage and the motor turns over by hand with a little effort. Has a very rare and hard to find original factory option rear seat. Has an after market heater. The original steering wheel is gone and someone replaced it with I think to be a Thunderbird steering wheel from the 60’s. the steering column is galvanized pipe. from the picture you can see the rust in the passenger floor and tub wall. There is a crack in the frame in a very common place where cracks form on these jeeps and is a very easy fix. Windsheild has a crack in it. Since I have owned it I have only removed the hood, windshield, front bumper/tow and side mirror. I have to move out of my storage and I have no place to keep this awesome jeep. The title I have is from 1970 and is signed. I will sign a bill of sale along with this title. I have couple of rims and tires that go with it. I’m not at my storage at time of this listing. I belive the milage to be 45.543 or it’s 55.543. Has a radio that looks like someone cut the dash to place it in and an hole in the cowl for an antenna. Has 12 volt convert and tailgate is welded but can be cut to open. Does not Run atm I’m sure a carb rebuilt, clean fuel bowl and flush of gas tank it would star and run. I just don’t have the place to work on it. You can txt me if you like or call for anyother information you need. Eight One Seven Eight Nine Seven Eight Five One Four. my name is Kent. might trade for gun and cash. M1A/HK Glock Etc. Give me a shout. I also may have some WWII jerry cans for sale and couple early 60’s or 70’s jerry cans also.”

(05/09/2011) The outside looks good, but the engine compartment looks like it was sprayed green all at once.

(06/25/2011) There’s some work needed. The grille appear wrong for a ’46.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
(01/11/2011) I suspect this was more likely produced somewhere between 1943 and the beginnings of the CJ-7.
“This is a nice and clean Willys Jeep. It is titled as a 1943 but is most likely a post war model. The serial number is GPW122460 which should help identify it for lovers of these jeeps. It is in great condition. It runs great and has 56,775 miles. New tires and a nice seat covers with a matching top makes this a great looking vehicle. It’s currently registered as an Antique Vehicle and is a great collector item.”
I’m taking Sunday evening off. Besides, a new episode of Downton Abbey is on tonight. Yes, I’m hooked and I blame Ann and her mother for this!
Peter from Germany is making progress on his wagon build. His buddy Thorsten is helping him out with engineering ideas and welding help. You may remember Peter’s quest to locate a 3-wing hood ornament and a door handle, which he found thanks to readers. He notes that he wanted to have it build completely from jeep parts, but deciding to throw in some heated seats from a Mercedes Vito. Personally, that sounds like a good idea to me! Peter says he’ll send some pictures of the build when finished.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
Looks pretty good.
“Runs Great! Recently rebuilt motor. Less than 200 hrs on the rebuild. Very Clean Body. F-134 Hurricane
Here is a wonderful military jeep that seems to jump right off the set of M.A.S.H. or any other of your Korean War era shows. I have been out of the country for 2 years but before left I had this jeep registered and would drive it to work to break in the rebuild. On my return the the U.S. I wanted to see how the old jeep was doing. Within 30 sec of tinkering she was roaring to life almost crying to hit the hills.
Sadly I am not going to school now and am in need of some money. Well hey, my loss is your gain. You can call text of send an email. If I do not answer right away I might be in class but I will return your call as soon as possible.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
This appears well built.
