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 .

(08/22/2012) This runs and drives, but has extreme makeover body steps!
“This is a 1945 Willys MB Jeep. Its your chance to own a rare piece of WWII history at a cheap price. I have set the RESERVE LOW.
The jeep has been tagged in GA but there is no Title. GA will not issue title for a vehicle this old. Purchaser will get bill of sale and copy of my registration and your state will do what ever they do, some will issue title and not sure about others.
Here is what I know! The jeep is in ok shape for it being 68 years old. It runs and drives which is good compared to most. I found this in a barn and the previous owner did not know it was a WWII jeep. This is what I did to it to get it running and driveable a couple years ago. Distributor, plug wires,clutch, master cyclinder, front & rear wheel cyc, brake lines, plugs. This jeep still turns heads of anyone driving by in its condition.
Now, Jeep is missing some of its original parts, but it still has some on there. It does not have a gas tank, I have a temperary one in the back now so I can run it. The seat are not the correct MB seats, & the windshield is from a later model willys(no glass). As you can see in the pics some one has put some sheet metal over the rear fender tool boxes- im sure to cover the small rust holes in there. Also they put it on the side steps. It can easily be removed by someone who can do meatl work- I cant! I never had a chance to go thru the transmission. It will stick in third gear every now and then but has never affected me driving up & down road. data plate on dash are missing, but frame tag is intack.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(02/17/2013) James pointed out this body has several patches, which I missed. And originally forgot to mention the strange cowl thing (vent?). I wonder why all the holes in the windshield frame. (see pic 3).
“1948 Willy 2As Jeep. The first civilian jeep model. Used originally as a farm vehicle. I purchased this jeep in 1994 and slowly rebuilt it keeping mostly original parts. It runs well and is fun to drive. Stored inside. I would like to have the space.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(03/18/2013) This needs a new throwout bearing.
“1963 CJ3B High hood Willy’s Jeep. Powered by a good running ford small block 302. Its a little ruff, but with a little tlc it’ll be perfect. The only thing this rig needs is a new throw out bearing and some new tires to be back on the road again. Clear title and keys (key rather) $2,500 as is, if it doesn’t sell before I fix what’s wrong with it and clean it up then the price will go up to reflect said work. (719) 359-2029 Serious inquiries ONLY!!! If the posting is still up then I still have it.”

This stock jeep in original condition includes a Sears trailer.
You are bidding on a 1946 CJ2A Willys Jeep. This jeep has not been restored and is in original condition. As you can see in the photos the life of this jeep is easily documented from the day it was ordered until today. It started out life in New Hampshire where it was purchased for farm life. Shortly after purchase the owner died and the jeep sat for many years. A car collector who lived next to the farm took the jeep in but never used it. That is who I purchased it from and have been the proud owner for the past 20+ years. Please note that Connecticut is not a title state, so I do not have a title to go with this jeep. I never got one and can not supply you with a title. The jeep, in perfect running condition, has 7218 miles on it as of today. Hopefully you can see in the photos how nice the body is, but if you can’t and you would like to come see the jeep in person and give it a test drive you are more than welcome to come and inspect it for yourself. (read more below)
I’ve been assembling some information on the O.E. Szekely and Associates Navy Jeeps built from CJ-3A parts. These were used to act as “Self-propelled electric power plants” on land and on battleships. They were made in three-wheeled and four-wheeled versions.
There is also a report that O.E. Szekely served 3 1/2 years in the USNR. This may have given him the contacts necessary to arrange the contract(s) for the APU Jeeps.

Some great photos from WillysArgentina of APUs
1. UPDATE: I dont’ know why I labeled this an APU. It was definitely in the Navy, but after further review, I see no reason to think it was a Szekely jeep. It is a Four wheel CJ-3A with a L-head that was listed here http://www.ewillys.com/2010/04/28/1951-navy-cj-3a-denver-co-ebay/
2. Four wheel CJ-3A APU with a F-head (and hood bump). The two extra gauges were added as well. Here are a couple pics of Tom’s jeep.
3. Three wheel CJ-3A APU with a L-head.
Article from July 1951 issue of Popular Science Page 142
4. Three wheel CJ-3A APU with a F-head (and hood bump). The APU pictured in color below is from the Miramar Marine Corps Air Museum in San Diego
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
