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: Still Available

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400. It is powered by a MB motor.
“WWII US Navy PE-95 Generator powered by a WWII Willys MB Jeep Motor serial number MB424173, great running engine. This would be a great generator to restore or use the engine for your Jeep restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(07/24/2012) Except for the giant hole in the dash, this looks pretty good for the price.
“1954 Willy’s High hood Jeep CJ3B
F-head motor, Winch, Tach, hitch, good frame & body.

Colin forwarded this wonderful cover from the December 1947 issue of Unity Magazine, a Willys Overland Magazine.
Coling writes, “The cover shows a small girl, actually the daughter of the magazine editor, holding an Al-Toy Jeep truck and just below it, the box it came in. The Jeep truck was to the best of our knowledge, the Christmas toy for the Willys VIPs and high volume dealers for 1947.”
Here’s an unusual truck used by United Air Lines.

Here’s a version of this truck from a different angle
UPDATE: Sold to an eWillys reader.
This looks like a solid, stock CJ-3B.
“This 1961 Willys Jeep has the following features;
• 27,000 miles – Low, Low Miles
• 4 Wheel Drive
• Warren Hubs
• All Stock
• Tall Hood (OHV)
This great jeep was owned by a local Ford dealer for hunting at his Tahoe cabin.”
This appears to be a solid jeep.
“1946 Willys
23,936 Miles
Runs great, shifts great, 4WD and 4WD Low gears work great.
Current License in California.
This is what I know. Willys built this model Jeep for the Military only from 1942 to 1945. Then in 1946 Willys offered this model to the public. However very few were sold because there was a glutton of Jeeps available through Military auctions.
Was this a Military or Civilian ? I don’t know.
This Jeep has spent almost all of its life on a ranch on San Diego County.
I just purchased a brand new fuel gauge that needs to be hooked up.
The only thing this jeep needs is a passenger side seat frame to match the drivers side.
And maybe a straight front bumper.
The value of these Jeeps are all over the place. This is no show car but it may very well be the best running and most reliable Jeep around. . . .”
