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 .
I snagged one of these 1956 Willys Export Wagon Brochures Form W-253-6X from eBay.
Craig shared this 1957 Swedish Fire Truck for sale ion Germany. It looks in great shape. The price is just over $19,000.

Roughly translated from German:
A very rare treasure. Forget all the assistance systems and all the other bells and whistles that today’s cars have.
This is pure driving!
Swedish Willys truck from 1957 with 3.6 liter Super Hurricane 6-cylinder engine.
An old master mechanic did a lot on the car in just under 100 hours.
Main work: The front was converted to disc brakes with a conversion kit from kaiserwillys.com from America. That’s why 17 inch rims from a Dodge Ram are now fitted. The rims were turned out to match and powder-coated in black.”
The description indicates this body will fit a CJ-7 chassis.

“Designed to fit a Wrangler and/or CJ7”
This modified CJ-2A is listed as a 1949, but has an early grille.

“For Sale!

12 volts, runs good, has a heater, rebuilt starter, new alternator/coil, extra rims and tires, misc. parts included, has a front plow attachment. Needs a new owner for a little more TLC. Please call between 9 AM and 9 PM.”
I took like the sides have been repaired.

“1946 Willy, runs very good, mechanically sound, brakes work, shifts good, 4WD seems to be good, converted to 12 volt, charges, tires good , motor very quiet, no smoking, very good bones for restoration, has a half cab, seats decent.”
Rough, but at least it isn’t crazily priced!

“1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2A
Project or Parts. Motor not original, transmission not good. Was running when parked because of tranny. Front floorboards rusted out & bed is in fair condition. Original hood, grill, dash & windshield are pretty good. Was my father’s “field jeep” so it wasn’t registered or anything. Asking $1350 obo. Cash Only.”
UPDATE: Back on Craigslist.
(05/07/2016) Looks like this has a Boston Top.
https://buffalo.craigslist.org/grd/d/saint-bonaventure-willys-jeep-snow-plow/7404295644.html
“1940’s Jeep w/plow, starts runs plows, NO title, NO brakes, off road only. Rare aluminum full cab. Jeep is rough and rusty.”
Might be worth a look.

“Off a 1951 M 38 Military Jeep. Will fit others. All Aluminum except front windshield frame. It had a canvas rear window panel, long gone.”
Ann and I spent a night up at Leavenworth on Thursday. While walking the cold, wet streets (it isn’t snowing there quite yet), we found ourselves warming up by entering various shops (big mistake, as we found ourselves buying stuff). However, one of the cooler items I found was this t-shirt with a “hockey stick” wagon on it. If you like light, cotton/polyester blend shirt, this is a nice one. However, I had to go X-Large as the Large fit perfectly, but likely would have shrunk.
The shirts are available online, so check them out here: https://moorecollection.com/products/willy-wagon-tee-dusty-blue?_pos=2&_sid=a0494a1b3&_ss=r
At least they had the Christmas lights up! Crowds were light, so that was perfect for us.
This is a rare matchbook cover of an early jeep pulling logs with a chain. The matchbook was for the Kansas Willys-Overland, INC, dealership.
