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 .

Sebastian and 13 of his fellow Flat Fender Club of Butler Members made the round trip in a van from Pennsylvania to the Midwest Willys Reunion today. Sebastian reports it was a fun-filled, but long day. He took a variety of pictures and has been kind enough to share some with us. He will be publishing more pictures and full write up at his blog on Sunday.

Below is a group shot from Saturday:
Here is the one-of-a-kind CJ-3B Surrey:
Here is Craig’s tour jeep:
While the folks in Ohio played with their jeeps and the people in Moab explored with their wagons and trucks, I got to clean my parents garage. I have wanted to tackle this project for a couple years now, but haven’t been able to for one reason or another.
However, this week, with dad still recovering from surgery (and having a tough time with it — nothing like having a persistent cough after having your sternum sliced open), Ann and I had some free time in between helping him and mom. So, for the past three days we have been unpiling junk in the garage, sweeping up varmit feecees, organizing the unorganizable, shop vacing, and cleaning.
While we didn’t clean everything, we tackled enough of the garage to feel like we had won the battle. Even better, when we began there was only enough room to fit one car. Now, two vehicles can fit with room to spare. Along the way I discovered some treasures, such as some brass inner tube caps (now on Biscuit), assorted transfercase and transmission rebuilt kits, the vin plate for my dad’s 1960 CJ-5 (which seems an appropriate direction to go with a next build project), and a Warn Overdrive Parts Catalog, which I think might be kind of rare. I’ll post the entire catalog online in the next few days. Below is the clean garage and the cover of the catalog.
It sounds like this is in good shape for the price.

This appears to be a good foundation for a build.

This sounds like an interesting jeep. Sounds like a time machine. This is supposed to be the original Princeton Black paint job, which the CJ-2A Page confirms is a very rare color.
“1946 willy’s CJ 2A jeep. ” very rare original black color”, never repainted… no rust.. had been setting in a garage for years. flathead 4 cyl motor .”.original 6 volt keyed coil ignition in dash still works”….starts right up, very good mechanically, brakes, clutch etc..cleaned fuel system…drives great… old school top in excellent condition, even the windows. ”all original conditon” very few early black cj 2a jeeps were produced”
