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 .
For $400 this is worth a look.

The motor is apart and the rear wheel well looks odd, but there seems to be value here.

This project is a fiberglass body on MB/GPW running gear.
“I have a 1942 cj2a for sale. It has a buick v6 motor with a sm465 transmission and a dana 20 transfer case. It is a fiberglass body with a nice red paint job. it is a little bit of a project, the electrical is 90 percent done all that is left is all the wiring for the gauges. the motor turns over and it will start. the linkage for the transmission and pedals still needs to be hooked up and it needs a gas tank, I have a gas tank that will go with it but its not a direct fit. the shallow exhaust manifold is mounted so it clears the steering rod. i bought it from a guy who had 5 other jeeps and didn’t have the time to work on this one. it has 32 inch bfg all terrains. The vehicle is currently non-op. with a little more time it would be a head turner. i am entering the chp academy soon and this is my third vehicle. feel free to come look at it and make an offer. 530 906 4645”

Robin just posted pictures from the June 1950 Issue of Home Craft’s “Town & Country” Jeep Conversion. This was a two issue project.
He posted high resolution versions of this transformation on FLICKR.
Here are some of the images:
These looks mostly like Ford GPs, but the base of the windshield looks a little low.

This is a repainted Pepsi Scrambler Jeep Go Kart. Several of these are shown at the CJ-8 page, including one with the original design. The Kart should have a windshield.
“For sale is an early 80’s Pepsi Promotional Jeep Go kart. Rare, Runs and drives great. This would be a great project to restore for parades or car shows. The fiberglass has some breaks and cracks in it as you can see in the pictures. It has a 3hp Briggs and Straton motor. The last picture is of one I found on the internet to show what they looked like when new. This is not a picture of mine. My go kart did not come with a windshield or have any indication of ever having one.”

This article was published in a 1945 issue of the Country Gentleman Farmer. I can’t figure out which issue it was.
