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 .
Jalopnik’s David Tracy recounts his adventure with a “barn-find” FC-150 that seemed too good to be true. As the story unfolds, you’ll see that you just never know about these jeeps.

“1947 Willys Jeep – w/ Working PTO- 4×4. Mileage 45,044 Runs good. Condition is “Used”. Local pickup only.”
Listed as a 1947 and a 1948, this appears to be a 1949 (or later) CJ-3A.

“This Willys Jeep is stock and in good to excellent condition. Starts easy and runs great and has new tires. Asking $10,000 or Best Offer.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.
(11/05/2021) Looks like a good price. Has a fiberglass body (possibly a Bobcat body). Sounds like it has a non-functional overdrive.

“Selling my project CJ2A. I just don’t have time to work on it.
Vehicle runs and drives, but I overjetted the carb when I brought it down from Colorado, so it’s very rich and hard to start.
Jeep features:
full fiberglass tub and hood
a buick oddfire v6 swap
transfer case overdrive (currently non-functional)
tilt steering
electric fuel pump
besttop soft tub and full soft doors (not pictured but included)”
Looks like a good project.

“1962 Willys Utility Wagon. Runs great! Original 6-cylinder “Hurricane” engine. Newly upholstered front seats and headliner in the last year. Has been stored in a covered garage for the last year and has been driven throughout that time. This is a treasure. $9,900.”
It looks like there is a $1000 worth of value here. Note the hard-to-find Hudson steering setup.

“Here it is the opportunity of a lifetime. A 1946 jeep Willys that could become your dream come true. I purchased this vehicle and it was stored in the garage since the 1970s. The 70s is also when it was last driven. See the pictures that it is a work in progress and will become a labor of passion.  Unfortunately this beauty does not have a title and is to be sold as is. What a fantastic opportunity to bring this rich piece of history back to life.”
It hasn’t been run in about 15 years.

“This is a titled 1947 Jeep. $6,000 OBO. It has a M38 body and engine. This Jeep runs but currently has the fuel tank out since the tank it came with when I got it was for a CJ2A. I have a brand new M38 tank to install. I have also replaced three of the four brakes (cylinders and pads) and have the forth one plus master cylinder on hand. I just haven’t had time to install it. This sale will include both fuel tanks and the remaining brake parts and every thing you see in the photos and the spare M38 engine. This is a project jeep with straight body with no rust.”
