About eWillys
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.
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 Jeep Willys NOT A WRANGLER! unknown mileage turns over but doesn’t start. In order to start it needs to have the fuel tank cleaned, fuel system flushed and new fuel filter to have it running. Stored in a shed for the last 30 plus years. Selling in an estate sale, must sell no trades.Clean title in hand”
“Picked up this Willys jeep as a project but I haven’t had time for it in the last year, and I could use the garage space before winter. Everything is in good mechanical condition but is not currently running. It has all the original ID tags riveted on the body. The jeep has the original seats, and a new gas tank installed. Please let me know if you have any questions. Might be interested in trades. ”

(09/12/2022) This appears to have the Hudson steering mod. It also has a Koenig hardtop with what I presume is a light bar for towing that is stored above the hardtop.
“1948 Willys jeep with hard top, mostly all original stuff. Not much known on this as owner has passed away. Not sure when it ran last. Flat head 4engine. 4500 or best offer.”
“I am selling a collection of various Jeeps, including Willy’s wagons/trucks, CJ2, CJ3, CJ5, CJ7. Most are complete, just have not been started, run or moved in a few years. Selling all to clear the land. Please message for phone number please as I will NOT do back-and-forth texting. Thank you for your help in that regard. I also have others ads up for vintage aluminum trailers, Mercedes, Studebakers and a few other vehicles from the 1950’s thru 1970’s. Pictures are but a sample of what is available. Thanks for the interest!”
(10/23/2022) Unclear how much value is here, but there is some parts value at the very least. This has been turning into 4WD and appears to have a Government plate on the dash.
Barney Goodwin shared the exciting news that his parts business acquired an early neon Willys Jeep sign to hang in his Waverly, Ohio, store. It is 80″ long and 30″ tall.
Barney is hoping to learn more about this sign’s place in Willys-Overland history. I shared with him my thoughts on it, but he is hoping to find documentable evidence about the sign. So, he figured he would reach out here.
In my opinion, he has two challenges. One, finding evidence for a date of manufacture would help place the sign in context (though there is plenty of physical circumstantial evidence in my opinion) and, two, finding documentation that indicates this was an OFFICIAL design offered and promoted by Willys-Overland (and not some dealer-created custom item).
I will update this post with the thoughts I shared with Barney at a later point, but I hoped to get some input from others before then.
Barney wrote, “I had wanted to announce this last summer but life got in the way. Last Spring we purchased this 1946 Willys Jeep neon sign to display inside our business.
We found it at the nation’s largest indoor antique mall in Springfield Ohio, and after 6 months was able to negotiate a price.
After we do more research, we hope to have an article in the Dispatcher Magazine about it.
In the meantime, we wanted to share it with the forum and invite comments about it, perhaps helping our research.
We believe, and have been told by the sign collecting world. That his is Willy’s first dealership marque sign from 1946. Notice that it does not have “CARS” or “TRUCKS” on it like the later ones did.
One sign collector said it was the only one of 2 known to still exist and the only one operational.
It is a 2-sided, bull-nosed, neon sign. It’s about 80” long and over 30” high.
The can is original paint – much more valuable than repainting it. The neon has been completely restored by a neon professional here in Ohio.
For our research, we are especially looking for comments with verifiable details.
With over 50 personal years involved with Jeep since high school, the appreciation of owning this cannot be overstated.”
I thought I would score this incredibly rare July 24, 1946, Willys-Overland Press Release packet for the ‘Jeep” Station Wagon so I could share its contents with everyone, but $302 wasn’t high enough (it sold for $308). So, congrats to the winner. I did win a few other cool items though.
