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: Javier purchased this and plans to restore it.
It might not be all original, but it appears mostly original.
“1943 WWII era Ford Jeep. This vehicle is all original and was running great when parked about five years ago. This is an all original military jeep and will make a great addition for a collector, or a good deer lease buggy. Need to sell this weekend. $2500 OBO.”
Here’s a rare GTB, though it looks odd without the bed. Ok, ok, it looks odd even when it has the bed!
“
1943 Ford GTB 4X4 Navy cargo truck, known as the “Burma Jeep”, no bed, needs restoration, runs good, $2000.”

This appears solid as best as I can tell.
“1942 Ford Jeep GPW. Classic. Recently rebuilt engine. Body is good and sound. Engine runs good. More pictues availabe upon request. Make an offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500 for both.
“2 1947 Willys CJ2A jeeps both run and drive, 1 converted to 12 volt, only one title! 850.00 a piece or 1500.00 for the pair, if no answer leave message will get back to you a.s.a.p”

(12/30/2008) Here’s a parts jeep.
“Old non running jeep, has a 283 1962 chevy engine in it,last time ran about 8 years ago, always ran great, but has not been used since then”
Maybe someone could use this?

(10/06/2009) “Two early Willys jeeps. One is an “Army jeep,” and may be a very rare variant made by Willys in 1946 for the Coast Guard, and the other is a definitely a ’46 CJ2A (it has a nameplate). From my purely novice viewpoint, it looks a lot like the CJ2A, but I’m selling it without claiming it to be any particular model. I just don’t know myself to be able to say. It has “battle wheels and tires.” I do know both are 1940s models (everyone seems to agree on that point) and the army one had a PTO (it has a pillow block in the original bumper) in the front and has an odd-ball “government-issue” hitch and tow-bar. The CJ2A is complete incl. engine, the other is minus the engine, but the rest of the drivetrain appears complete. Both need a fair amount of work if the buyer wants to restore them to original, but you could probably get a running jeep in a full weekend of work, maybe less. There is enough here to get one complete, running jeep and have a fair boneyard left over. The bodies are, as these things are generally found, both pretty good. I had gotten these intending to make one out of both, but have been told they are collectible and it’s probably best not to do that. I don’t have the time or really, the interest or desire, to restore them myself. I’ve checked eBay, etc., and know that these are not just “old jeeps,” so please, no low-ball offers.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(09/15/2010) This looks good, but the bottom of the driver’s side of the body doesn’t quite look straight. I’m not sure if there is a rail along the bottom, a little indent or what it is or just a photo issue.
“Nice running and driving willys. 4 Cyl , dana 44 rear end. New tags untill 2011. . 559-593-3590. Thanks.”

Continuing with yesterday’s e-jeep, while not a 4wd vehicle, this eco-motor jeep look-a-like appears inspired by the CJ-5. According to ecofriend.org, “The Fun retails for $24,995, though they have an introduction price of $19,995, and can deliver a top speed of 70mph and an operating range of about 100 miles between charges. The vehicle uses the customizable MiMod EV monitoring system from EV Instruments, which is an integrated system of sensors, monitoring logic and operational controls that can be customized to suit any type of EV.”
Here is the website for Eco Motors and the Fun. The company appears to be located in Springfield, Mo.
