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: Still Available.

“1948 Willy’s CJ2A 4×4 Clean title Great for ranch vehicle/play/hunting/ or a restoration project Original motor, transmission, 12 volt conversion, new battery mileage unknown – odometer and speedometer do not work Looks rough but sound”
In 1963, the city of Tucson, Arizona, was looking to save money on garbage costs. That summer an experiment was tried whereby a CJ-5 towing three garbage trailers was used to cut garbage transportation costs. I could not find any information on how long the experiment lasted.
This first photo showing the jeep, trailers and how a trailer was dumped into a larger truck, was published in the Tucson Citizen May 24, 1963:
This article from May 22, 1963, published in the Arizona Daily Star, provides more information on the experiment:
Roger Martin shared this Canadian Jeep Junkee photo of a CJ-5 that (I think) has been transformed into a train engine. I tried to learn more, but had no luck. It’s unclear to me where this might be located.
In a June 11, 1941, article in the Austin American-Statesman, William T. Rives describes his first “blitz buggy, jeep or jitterbug, as it is variously called” ride while visiting Camp Bowie in Brownwood, Texas.
This article was syndicated through numerous newspapers. So frustrated was one Captain with the multitude of definitions for the word “Jeep” that he warned soldiers not to use it and cited examples of why it was so confusing. This article is from the Johnson City Press out of Tennessee, November 14, 1941:
UPDATE: Price dropped to $18,900.

“this is a 1946 willys lower 2wd 450 hp 355 chevy with a 350 auto it has sawy bar on front and a anti roll in the back so it runs like a big go cart it is kind of a rat rod”
This might have a rare set of Spicer Hub Lok hubs. The steps have been altered.

“1963 Jeep willys four by four. Non original 4 cylinder engine. Runs & drives. Comes with army gear. Gets looks everywhere she goes! Title in hand.”
The price listed is $12,345, so I’m guess the seller is taking offers?

“As much as I would like to keep this I could use the money for my next restoration. I am in no hurry to sell so all lowball offers will be ignored. If your looking for a truly unique off road toy this is for you. Although it could be converted back to a street legal machine it currently is not so if your looking for something to drive on the street keep scrolling. It started off as a 1962 Willys cj3b.
After giving it a 6″ frame lift I had the frame hot dip galvanized which is why the frame looks to be painted gray. Motor is a 350 out of a 73 Vette +.030 with a off road cam. TH400 trans mated to a Dana 18 via Novak adapter. PTO and winch from a Willys truck modified to run off the back. Front axle is a Dana 44 out of a 75 chevy. Rear is GM 10 bolt out of a 84 chevy with Moser inner shafts. Front AND rear hydraulic steering are independent. Please do not blow up my phone with questions that can be answered face to face if you are serious. Thanks for looking”
Looks in good shape.
