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 .
Hey, it runs and drives for under $1000.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller provides a very nice overview of the jeep.
“This is an extremely rare 1942 Slat Grill Jeep. Depending on where you look, different sources indicate that between 25 and 300 of these Jeeps are known to exist today.
The number plate on this Jeep shows that it is number 113424 (the 1’s are punched as I’s-see photo). This is the numbering for the Jeep, and does not indicate that 113,424 of these were made. Rather, the first 25,000 Jeeps ever made were Slat Grills, and the vast majority have been destroyed. I have had this Jeep for several years, and it has a clear California title. There are no registration issues since it has been registered non-operational so that no back fees accumulated while I stored it.
From what I can know and can tell:
I bought the jeep with an F-head motor and replaced it with the correct L-Head motor, but the motor is an aftermarket Kaiser Motor rather than a Willys. The motor which is in it is a Kaiser Supersonic, and since its rebuild 12 years ago, has been run for only a few hours. Unfortunately, I no longer have the rebuild receipt but it was rebuilt professionally…..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
This looks like a solid jeep.

Gerald found these pics. If anyone has or runs across any similar pics, I’d like to see them.
1. Here’s an ad for the older Armstrong tires:
2. A vintage 1946 stamped envelope top from Willys Overland:
3. During a search for the 1960 auto show pics, Gerald found this image from the 1965 auto show. He immediately thought of the show Mad Men. The girls may be as lovely as the ones on the show, but the men are much older (compare the photos below and you decide!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
This looks well maintained.

Here’s a buyer for a tailgate.
“Hoping to find a Willys/Jeep Tailgate in great condition, one that is stamped “JEEP” and not “Willys” Please email me some pictures and a price if you have what I’m looking for, thanks!”
UPDATE: Still Available. Seller is moving soon; so needs to sell.
The body and frame are $600. Other parts are more. Apparently, the seller has been getting his Ad flagged.
“I have a 1946 CJ2A body that sits on a a ’76 CJ5 frame, and is ready to be a serious crawler. It has had a ton of work, and was all done properly. This is not some hack job welded together with a tiny little 110v welder. I would like to get $600 for the body and frame alone, but am taking offers. It is sitting in my back yard and I hate to see it get all rusted and end up going to the scrap yard. I have a ford HP dana 60, and a CO14 that could also go with it, but they of course will be much more. If you are interested in seeing it email me. I know the pix aren’t great, but there better then none. I simply have to many projects and this one has to go”
