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 $900
(07/20/2103) The rust on this is just so complete. That’s why I posted it.
“Flat fender Willys truck, complete needs total restoration, no title good rat rod material. Flat fender”
On our last trip to the East Coast it seems we blew right by a museum in Deer Lodge, Montana, that houses a GPW of some vintage. I ran across a reference to the jeep last night, but couldn’t find a picture until tonight. There also might be a jeep wagon, but I can’t confirm it.
The Montana Auto Museum is located in the Old Montana Prison Complex (1106 Main Street
Deer Lodge, MT 59722), which houses five unique museums inside its historic prison walls. The complex includes the Old Montana Prison, Powell County Museum, Frontier Montana Museum, Yesterday’s Playthings and the Montana Auto Museum. The complex is run by the Powell County Museum and Arts Foundation. One fee covers all five museums.
The “USA Today” once listed the collection, which totals over 100 vehicles, as one of the top ten must-see auto museums in the country. Here’s one ‘non-car’ person who really enjoyed the place.
I found photos of the GPW at Brian DeFree’s Flickr site:

Here are some additional photos:
Shannon Shorg has even more photos, but none of the GPW. Here is a picture of a couple dune buggies though.

The first one is a photo of a section of reconnaissance 8 regiment – first a willy’s after it the successor our famous ‘minerva’ build in belgium under license of land rover.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This looks good for the price. The tranny might need rebuilding.
“1948 Wills Jeep CJ-2A Commercial version. Sympathetic restoration, using as many original parts as possible, including both front fenders, hood, tailgate, chairs, instrumentation and wheels. Rust free floor. The good . . . great looking unit, painted in the factory original color of prairie green w/ powder coated 16″ yellow wheels mounted with Cooper military tires. Six volt electrical system retained. Rebuilt engine (300 miles). Rebuilt front axle. Fresh carb, water pump, generator, and starter. The bad . . . tranny makes noise.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900.
This looks ready for the hills.

Looks pretty good for having set for 20 years.
“Classic flat fender 1953 CJ3A Willys Jeep, been in our family for 30 years. Has been sitting in a shed for the past 20. It ran when it was last parked but hasn’t run for 20 years. Will need to be trailered away as the tires are rotted and there is no battery. In pretty good shape for a classic”

This appears worth a look.
“This is a rare find. A 1948 Willys CJ2A with a Koenig Iron Works custom hard top. I’m told there were only 300 of this model made with this custom top. This Willys does not have an engine. I purchased this from a family that started the restoration process with new tires, wheels and lights.”
