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 Make Offer.
This jeep might just set the record for the longest tow bar. There is some value here.

“Recently retired and I have too many projects. I need to sell this one to help finish my other antique truck. This is an earlier 46 Willys with the 3 speed on the column. It’s all there and with a fresh battery and some gas it should start. I just replaced the stater switch and cleaned the gas tank. It will need to trailered or hauled and I can help with loading.”
Kevin filed this report from Moab at the end of the Willys Overland Rally, Moab 2012. Thanks Kevin! Don’t forget to visit the oldwillysforum.com to prepare for next year’s rally.
Kevin writes, “We made it to Moab from Georgia, what an experience! I traveled 1,750 miles @ 25 cents per mile.
I had my share of adventure — Tranny coolant line breaks, gas gauge peg’s at fuel, lost a gas cap and bought a non-vent cap, which caused every hose connected to the tank leak like the Titanic of gas, loose distributor, two plug wires not doing their job, busted motor mouint, spring perches broke (spot welded). All the particapants made it up the Pucker Hill, but me … oh what fun it is to get stuck and broke down. Despite all of this, I had a Great Time!!! These people know how to party and have an honest good time!
All too quickly MOAB 3 – 2012 has come to an end. So, I’m on my way back to Georgia, carrying plenty of red sand for the ride home.
One more item off the Bucket List.”
These first two pictures are of Kevin’s wagon:
Mark has a nice article at Jeeptruck.com about Don Howard, a former horse race jockey, who ran a jeep rental business out of Creede, Colorado. Don’s family has used jeeps for several generations, partly because the family has a ranch along the Continental Divide at 10,500 feet.
UPDATE: This sold. Was on eBay.
VEEPs are pretty rare. This looks unusual even for a VEEP. I’ve never seen a hood decorated quite that way.
This looks like a nice little jeep.
“This CJ2 is in very good condition, with very good 32X11.50 R15LT tires, a new Northern Industrial 9000 Lb. Winch which has never been used, a tow Bar is mounted on the jeep and has electrical connections, the stereo is a Sony AM/FM CD and MP3 player that works well, it has front High Back Bucket seats and a good bench seat in back. The engine is a Buick V6 and works well, the transmission is Automatic and works well. The paint job is custom, light tan desert camoflauge and there is chrome trim. The title is Clear. I sell it AS IS, but I know of no serious problems with this vehicle, the actual mileage on this vehicle is unknown. I have gotten too old to go riding in the desert anymore, but this is the perfect vehicle for those who still can. The buyer will need to come to Arizona to pick the vehicle up. It is located at my home about 60 miles north of Phoenix.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
Not perfect, but looks pretty solid.
“1945 FORD GPW MILITARY JEEP $7000
SAME FAMILY AND GARAGE KEPT SINCE 1963
RUNS GREAT, LOOKS GREAT, DATA PLATES IN PLACE
READY FOR PARADES, FARM, OR COMPLETE RESTORATION”
Not a perfect replica, but looks solid.
“This handcrafted mahogany wood model is an extremely beautiful replica of a World War II Willys jeep with machine gun. Weapon is optional and can be easily removed if desired, it also rotates 360 degrees. Model has an extremely detailed interior with gauges, foot and brake pedal and steering wheel that rotates. This is not some cheap wood toy, each model takes an average of 18 hrs to complete and is coated with 3 coats of polyurethane for a super high gloss finish. You will not find a better more detailed model than this. 10″ Length, 5″ Width, 5.5″ Height.”
