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 .

This is the first I’ve heard of this magazine. It’s called SAGA: Adventure Stories for young Men. One of the articles in the magazine is about the Jeep.

This looks pretty good for the price.

This looks real nice, though for the price I’d expect the engine compartment to be more polished.
“This car is a real ‘head turner’! People love to see it on the street. We get a lot of waves and thumbs-up. The car starts immediately, runs smoothly and drives easily.
Chassis is solid with no rust. Body is in excellent condition. (Minor rust at the bottom of the driver’s door and the bottom of the tailgate – see photos.)
Great color combination with simulated “Woody” scheme.
This Willys Station Wagon is original and complete. Includes the rare rear seat which is often lost or removed from these older cars.
Although very nice, this is not a “concours” car. (I did, however, show it at the Marin-Sonoma Concours in 2011.) It’s a fun driver with a lot of curb appeal.
(It wouldn’t take too much to refine the car to ‘show car’ condition.)

UPDATE: Still Available
(04/22/2012) This is a good looking jeep, tough the engine compartment and engine isn’t as nice as the rest of it.
“This 1948 Willys-Overland CJ2AJeep was restored in 2003 using only original equipment. All work was done by a professional mechanic. Parts alone for this restoration exceeded $5000. Everything works! It looks and runs great. Stays in the shop when not being driven & has a Bikini Top. NADA book value for one in “High Retail” condition is $20,500. This Willys comes very close to their definition for that value.
A list of work done including receipts is available.”

This has been sitting for years. The front bumper sure is interesting.
“I have 46 willys with extra parts forsale or trade for nice 4×4 truck with V8. make an offer or let me know what you’re willing to pay. right now looking at all offers not setting price, so dont email me to ask what my bottom dollar is. If offer is reasonable i will get back to you right away. I’m not trying to get over on anybody nor am i going to give it away. If you’re intrested and want a good solid vehicle for project, this is it, weather to restore or make rock crawler its complete and solid. Body is in great shape with glass and seats. Been sitting on my property for years and undisturbed. wont find one in this shape without paying pretty penny. Its orginal but the years and weather are taking a toll on it. So lets make a deal cash is what i want but will trade if its something i would like, so let me know what you’re willing to offer or trade. Thanks”
