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 Make Offer.
Might have some parts value?

If you need some cheap rims, these ought to work. Seller has a bunch of other jeep parts, but isn’t specific about what.
“Solid wagon wheels removed from the 1983 CJ seven, i’ll do a width and backspacing addition to the listing later but they’re pretty standard,I have many jeep parts please ask and I’ll check my storage I have too much crap to even remember”

This has potential. It includes a winch.

This has a solid looking cab.

This looks in good shape. The engine has a later model oil filter bracket, so the engine might not be original.
“Selling my 1948 cj2a. Was running great until a couple days ago. Won’t turn over or nothing. Lights won’t come on. Just had it tuned up and all the fluids changed about a month ago. Also put a new fuel pump in.Put new tires on it. Asking 8,000 obo Located in central Kansas”

“Motor turns freely and ran before tear down but due to carb leaking we didn’t run it long. Has lots of rust that someone doing the work themselves could fix but customer doesn’t want to dump more money than it’s worth done to fix it. Roll bar or seats are no longer available. All other still come with Jeep including data plates. Early 1946 with column shift, complete motor and drivetrain. I don’t think there’s anything else that I forgot. Floors have been patched but were done pretty crappy by just screwing metal over top of the cut out areas. It also still has fuel tank and storage box on passenger side. $2500 located in Longview Washington 98632. Edit…wheels and brakes are put back together and it is a rolling project now.”
UPDATE: I found this article that highlights the inspiration behind the book Creeper’s Jeep. It was published in the Bridgeport Post on August 22, 1948:
The book is still available on eBay, but they aren’t cheap: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=%22creeper%27s+jeep%22&_sacat=0
======================
Originally published May 18, 2016: This book was listed on eBay.
“This listing is for a vintage book entitled “Creeper’s Jeep” by Hardie Gramatky. It is a cute story about a guy who owns this jeep that wants to share it with his family. They do not take to the idea at first but after a few incidents decide to give it a try. Great illustrations: see pictures. Former library copy with some of the usual markings.”
UPDATE: After Joe’s comment I examined what I believe was the dash. It was then I noticed that inside the “engine bay” was printed “Hotul”. Here’s the best pic I could get of that. My assumption is that at least part of this jeep was made from recycled material.
This well-loved toy jeep popped up on eBay. The lettering refers to a French/African oil refining company? I thought it was unique enough that I put a low bid in and one it. Anyone know more about this toy? It’s about 4″ long, so it’s not a large toy.
UPDATE: Thanks to folks smarter than me, I believe these are FJ-40 seats, though the hand rails may have been added.
The guy who sold them to Dave claimed they came from off the wheel house of an M-38A1 (also known as the wheel well), but when Dave tried them on his M-38A1, they didn’t fit.
Here’s how well the fit (or didn’t fit) on the M-38A1:
This has potential (and some turbine rims).
