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 .
I was surprised to see this ad published as late at September 3, 1954, because it highlights the CJ-3A-based “Farm Jeep” (see halfway down in the ad). It was printed in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
UPDATE: This was (mistakenly or fraudulently) billed as a 1942 MB.
Bill shared this Briing-A-Trailer auction of a 1942 MB with some unusual mods, including the installation of a Toyota 3C turbodiesel.

“This 1942 Willys MB was acquired by the seller in 2021 and subsequently refurbished and repowered with a 2.4-liter Toyota 3C turbodiesel inline-four mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Finished in matte green over green cloth, the Jeep is equipped with auxiliary lights, a fold-down windshield, side-mounted digging tools, 16″ wheels, a rear-mounted Jerry can and spare wheel and tire, and a trailer hitch. This Jeep is now offered in Canada with Ontario registration in the seller’s name.”
Looks in good shape. I’m not sure what has been done to the dash (replaced? painted?).

“1948 Willy’s CJ2A Flat head 4 “Go-Devil” engine. Starts and runs great. Many of the gaskets replaced. 3 speed manual Trans. 4wd comes with additional Transmission and transfer case coupled with Warner automatic over drive.”
This is a mix of a GPW and Jeep Grand Cherokee.

It’s missing the front frame rails, but still may be worth look. No description provided.

The body seems like it’s in pretty good shape. Is the bed shortened?

This short article (with far too many ads) shows some of the Hy-Rail jeep examples over the years. Thanks to Bill for sharing it.
Taar’s selling her father’s CJ-2A. It’s seen some repairs and doesn’t run at the moment. Unclear if the engine spins or not. You can email her at tara.dicken21 @ gmail.com (remove spaces around the @).
“My father recently passed away and left me with several vehicles I am now trying to find homes for. One if these is a 1946 jeep cj3a with a title. It’s not in good shape at all as it has been outside in a barn. Would love for it to go to a good home.”
