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 $5000.

(12/27/2008) Here’s what appears to be a completely restored CJ-3A + trailer. Not many specifics on what was rebuilt.
“1950 JEEP CJ-3A WITH TRAILER NEW TIRES, SEATS, SPRINGS, SHOCKS, BATTERY, LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD, HOOD, FENDERS, BUMPER, WINDSHIELD FRAME, AND TUNE UP KIT . REBUILT FLAT HEAD 4 . ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
(09/09/09) This includes an overdrive and a winch. Given those extras, this sounds like a pretty good price.
“1947 WILLYS CJ2A. I have owned since 1981. was my driver for a long time with the 4 cylinder in it. Purchased a rebuilt and balanced 4.3 v-6 (chevrolet) from motorworks in Spokane. Installed it and never finished. Never fired it off. It has ford 11″ brakes, warn overdrive, warn upright elec. winch w/cable controls (works), 3 1/2 lift w/springs, full cage, buckets, like new full top (black), diamond plate, spare tire/can carrier on rear. All there, just needs to be put back together. have many extra parts to go with it. transfer cases, adaptors, transmissions,etc”
UPDATE: Original listed for $2400, an eWillys reader got a great deal on this jeep.
This looks like a good price. Nice turbine rim on the back to boot.
“Nice shape — no rust — original engine/tranny runs great – converted 12 volt — lockout hubs – chrome wheels — bikini top — roll bar — tow bar ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000

(07/25/09) Is it just me or does the rear passenger side corner look sharper than normal?

Sebastian forwarded me the Willys Colombia website. I realized I couldn’t find it because I was spelling Colombia wrong (my spelling: Columbia). I have now corrected all the other posts as well. Ooops.
Anyway, there’s lots of great pics. One section includes the official Guinness Book of Records Photos from the parade are there too. However, one thing I haven’t determined is exactly how many jeeps were there. I have seen the figures of approximately 300 jeeps and of approximately 370. I tried to search Guinness, but had no luck. Here’s a few of the pics.
If you weren’t following it, Boomer, James and I were have a short conversation about Slat Grilles and how there are only a few Slat Grilles buit with a Glove Box. Apparently, early MBs (1941 dated slat grill) did not come with a glove box (maybe I was the only person who didn’t know that …). Glove boxes were not added till ser# 120680 (early to mid Feb. 1942). It made realize how little I actually know about Slat Grilles beyond the slat grille itself.
Boomer mentioned that he has a MB with the serial# 122723 born February 26, 1942. Glove boxes were added about a week before his was built. Of course, at that point I said ‘tell me more & send me pics’! Thanks for sharing!
Boomer not only sent some pics, but provided some nice history. My slat came from the original owner, who bought it 1946. It was originally bought from an Army Air station in Maine.
Total slat grill production was approximately 25,000 units or approximately 3 percent of total WW2 jeep production. Of those, only about 10 to 15 percent were equipped with a glove box. My research suggest there are barely 150 running/restored slat grills left in existance world wide.
Regarding the trailer, it was saved by me from a local farm. It was being used as a horse trough. Date of delivery was June 1943. It was made by Willys, otherwise known as MBT.
This is how I found it;
