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 $950.
This doesn’t run.
“1949 CJ2A Jeep. Good Iowa title. Extra set of wheels. Includes original owners manual. Not running. ”
UPDATE: Jesse asked me to post a few more pics that show additional progress . . .
These four pics show the body on the wider, heavy duty chassis.
Here are images of the body being removed from the narrower chassis. You can see past images here: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/Package-Van/
I received the June 19, 1943, issue of Liberty Magazine today. I bought it because it has an article titled “The Amazing Blitz Buggy”. I don’t have time to scan it tonight, but should have it read, scanned and posted in the next couple of days. But, I did want to make a quick comment about it.
Having glanced at the article, two things surprised me. One, it was written by the President of Willys Overland Joseph W. Frazer. Two, he claims the official name of the vehicle was “General Purpose Car”. You can see that claim in the highlighted portion of the article. That could be the reason the term “General Purpose” vehicle has been appeared numerous times.
This is unusual.
“Here is a vintage 1951, Willys Overland, What You Should Know, Employee Handbook. The handbook is in very good condition. The handbook is complete with 14 pages in it.”

I found this ad in what I think was a business directory of some kind. It looks like someone used their CJ-3B and their jeep-a-trench to make money. To get the logo removed from the image, you have to purchase the full resolution version from Historicalmapworks.com.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay
This has 67 pages of jeeps parts.
“You are bidding on a vintage 1964 JEEP PARTS CATALOG. In used condition, the back cover has a wrinkled/torn corner. It has all its 67 pages. The covers read: HEADQUARTERS FOR WARDS RIVERSIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR CIVILIAN AND MILITARY JEEP VEHICLES – REGD. TRADEMARK KAISER JEEP CORP. – SATISFACTION OR YOUR MONEY BACK – MAONTGOMERY WARD – 1964 JEEP PARTS CATALOG.”
I don’t see these with the box too often.

This looks good.
“This is a reserve auction for a 1942 Willys MB, serial number MB127011, date of delivery 11 March 1942. This Jeep was manufactured with a limited number of Jeeps after Willys started manufacturing WWII Jeeps with the “pressed grille” sheet metal type of front grille, (only 1202 by serial number). The earlier front grilles were the “slat grille” type (the last slat grille serial number was MB125809). This MB is a motorpool type restoration. When the Jeep was obtained by a prior owner there was already a mixture of MB and GPW parts on it. It is suspected that it was used on base at Camp Shelby, MS for years where the mixture of parts originated during on-base maintenance. The hood & bumper markings are in honor of the 124th Infantry Division (Dixie Division). The frame serial number is orginial. The glove box data plates are reproductions made by Robert de Ruyler at Dataplates4U.com. The T84 transmission, transfer case and rear axle are GPW componets. The orginial body was so shot that it was replaced with a repro body. The transmission and transfer case have been rebuilt and runs great. All bearings have been replaced in the axles as well as new brake cylinders, brake lines and brake shoes. The engine is a 1946 CJ2a L134 flat head that has also been rebuilt and runs great. The radiator is a CJ2a radiator. Included with the Jeep are, repro cloth top & frame, 5 repro combat wheels and tires, period dated gas can, shovel & axe, jack and tow rope. Receipts and photos of restoration are available if wanted. This vehicle is titled and tagged in Tennessee and will include a Bill of Sale”
The column shift is gone, but the hubs and tool indents are there.
