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: **Status Unknown** Was No Price
(08/28/2022) This might have a DJ-3A or a replacement body. The looks to be a V-6.
“I don’t have many details about the motor and trans, it is not running, but all parts you need are there, transmission and transfer case are installed in the jeep, I would have both rebuilt. It’s not a rust bucket and can be restored”
I spotted this concept vehicle document on eBay. It was so unusual, I thought I’d snag it. Each of the pages is within plastic, which seemed strange, too (see first pic). Anyone have more information on this? Note the use of the Corvair engine and other parts.
The shape of the car seems similar to that of a Studebaker Avanti (sold a few years earlier) or the later American Motors Corp’s concept AMX-GT, built prior to the merger between AMC and Kaiser-Jeep.
Each page of document is bound within plastic, making it much thicker than it needs to be.
Barney noticed that this CJ-3A has a non-punched governor hole that looks slightly different from a standard stock body. This *might* be another item to look for in an aftermarket body. He noted that he isn’t 100% sure this green body isn’t stock, but it’s something to look for when reviewing a jeep.
Anyone else notice this on aftermarket bodies? Or, anyone notice that the shape of the stock stamp changes over the years, making this observation less dependable for spotting aftermarket bodies?
This photo of a red body is Barney’s jeep with a non-stock body. Now how rounded the surface of the bump is:
This is the green body from this post. It too appears rounded on the surface (and the inside looks like it has additional texture):
Note that the green body seems to be missing the “notch” along the top seam of the dash, which suggest also this isn’t a stock body .. see notch above hand brake in pic below.
This is a stock 1947 CJ-2A body. The Governor bump is flatter:
More info:
This Warn brochure collection sold yesterday for $242 on eBay (I was the second highest bidder). There are a few brochures I hadn’t seen before, but most I have. The inclusion of several San Angelo Die Casting brochures was interesting as well, such as the “East Cook Camping Unit”.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
John shared this DJ-5 for sale. Unclear if it runs, but looks pretty solid for the price. No description provided.

Thanks to Jan for sharing this rare sixteen-page January 1947 issue of Willys-Overland Sales News!
I’m not very familiar with these nor do I know how many issues were released, but I assume this style of magazine was discontinued once the Salesbuilder magazines were created in mid-1948.
These two racing jeeps will be auctioned Saturday October 8th, 2022.

Still needs a little more work, but unclear why that is.

“1979 Jeep CJ-5 Rock Crawler New BluePoint Engineering high torque 383 SBC crate engine, EFI, Fox shocks (aired down in pics to fit in garage, 10″ taller when aired up), Warn winch, ARB air lockers, Dana 60’s, hydraulic power steering, power brakes, 4 speed, custom built frame, 4 link long arm suspension and cage. Street legal, currently tagged and titled in my name. Only a few hours of idle & cruise time on the build. Still needs a few odds and ends to finish it off.”
Martin shared this Die cast model for only $25. These go for $30 and above after shipping and tax from eBay. Note the pic below is not the actual item.

“For sale is a 1:43 scale diecast 1946 Willys CJ2A Fire Jeep. The model is labeled Bomberos (Spanish for Firemen), as it is based on service vehicles used in Argentina. Neat model. It is new, still in the original package, having never been opened. The picture is a stock photo, but is exactly like what I have.”
