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 .

A December 1947 article in Popular Mechanics highlights the role support groups play in post-war remote Hollywood movie locations. Included is the below image of a jeep pulling a wagon. The article is pretty interesting.
I happened across this story by Rob Hardy about a 1942 MB? that was purchased and owned by Howard Hong until 2010, when he passed away. In 2012 it was donated by his son to the Northfield, MN, VFW.

Here’s another unusual London woodie. Note it is an improved model, suggesting Burleigh made others.

“1955 Willys Jeep P/U 4×4. This is a NO – RESERVE auction
This is a GREAT looking, GREAT running, one owner Calif. Truck (I have orig. Calif Lic. Plates) . Body off restore in 2005 when the Edelbrock fuel injection, electronic ignition, and new heads were added to the older small block Chevy V-8. Entirely rewired and converted to 12 volt w/ two fuse blocks. All gauges are orig. and function except for the mileage counter. Gas gauge reads full until ¼ , think it could use a new sending unit in the tank. Has Warn locking hubs and Warn overdrive. Has vintage driving lights, spot light, and manual switch back-up lights, ( back-up lights not available from factory). The side and rear glass is smoke tinted (not film), all glass and rubber is new.. Comes with original MILITARY stamped 16” Firestones and chrome beauty rings. Has GI gas can w/carrier, shovel and ax w/mount and spare tire w/carrier. It had, an has NO rust, dents. The plaque on the side is magnetic and never stayed on the truck except for shows and parades. It could use new rear seal, (leaves a few drips on the garage floor after driving). Have original owners manual, purchase order, sales contract, and steel owners vin tag for safe keeping. I have an appraisal from 2006 of $20,000. Getting older and just don’t drive much anymore since moving to Missouri in 2006, also have no-one to pass it on to…”

Still needs work.
“Selling a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This Jeep has been partially restored but still needs some wiring done, a windshield replaced, fuel tank cleaned and repaired, tires, and misc. The engine was running recently but has been sitting. It will turn over. I have not tried to start it. Most of the parts are there. The brakes are not working and may just need fluid. The origional wiring is still in place for the most part. The front floor is made from fiberglass and is strong and has been covered with carpet. There are some rust spots in a couple places but the frame appears to be solid. This vehicle was made 65 years ago and I can,t guarantee that all the parts are in perfect condition. I’m selling The Jeep “as is” with no promises. The running gear seems to be in good condition and rolls freely. It’s a good start on a nice little vintage 4X4 Jeep that could make your summer or winter much more fun. ”
