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 $1500.
The rear has rust, but the front looks nice. It runs and has a Warn OD.

A reader named Andy contacted me the other day about a flatfender that he purchased. He was told it was a former airport Jeep. Anyone recognize some of these mods? How about them rims!
Andy writes, “No data tags inside the body, but need to check the firewall tomorrow. The guy I bought the jeep from says that he saw another one with the same wheels on it at the hunting camp where he got this jeep …. There is some use of aluminum in this body, goes hand in hand with the airport shop mod theory …. It appears that the patches in the floors and sides were not really needed at the time they were done.. the body was still very sound in those areas. Looking in the wheel wells, you can see the original not rusted body covered by a layer of metal from the top. I think you may be right on the combination of manuf. top with some airport shop ‘extras’. Those doors sure are unique, I have not seen such before ..”
I found this image on the web at a fake webpage (on of those pages that aggregates a bunch of misc stuff in hopes of getting click throughs). It looks like a pretty cool build. Anyone ever seen it or know any history?
After seeing yesterday’s post, Mitch forwarded this image a fried of his spotted at Walmart.

“Looking fora factory/complete plow set-up that fits 1945/1946 CJ2A. not looking for hacked up versions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(11/19/2010) The seller notes there is no rust anywhere, but that sure looks like surface rust on the hood? Also, it sounds like it doesn’t run given it needs a new water pump? This looks solid.
“THIS IS A TRUE BARN FIND… THIS WILLYS HAS BEEN IN A BARN FOR OVER 14 YEARS !!! YOU WILL NOT FIND A STRAIGHTER OF MORE COMPLETE WILLYS AROUND !! THERE IS NO RUST ON THE JEEP…AND THE METAL IS ALL STRAIGHT. THE SEATS ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE. I TRAILERED THIS JEEP HOME AND GOT IT RUNNING, I HAVE THE NEW FUEL TANK AND WATER PUMP IT NEEDS. I ALSO HAD THE WHEELS SANDBLASTED AND POWDER COATED BLACK AND PUT 5 NEW TIRES ON HER. THE TOP IS IN FAIR SHAPE… BUT… UNDER THE BACK SEAT WAS A BRAND NEW, NEVER OUT OF THE PACKAGE BIKINI TOP FOR THE JEEP!!! THIS HAS MANY OF THE PLUS’S YOU WANT TO FIND BUT CAN’T… BOW HOLDERS, JERRY CANS AND THE BRACKETS, SIDE STEPS AND SPARE TIRE CARRIER”
