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.
(03/03/2021) I doubt there is much value here.

“Cj2 Willys on an early land-cruiser fj40 chassis. Body has burned but is all there. No paperwork on anything”
This looks to be a CJ-3A (the rubber seal around the edge of the windshield is one clue) with a Worman hardtop. Emily Osborne owns both the jeep and the farm.

“Emily Osborne works an eighty acre farm north of Albert Lea; she is shown here checking the oil in her jeep.”
John shared this video. It shows the first landing of troops in Burma on the island of Akyab. Jeeps (looks like all Willys MBs) only appear in the first 16 seconds of the video.
This second video gives more of an overview (with narration) of the same landing force, which arrived unopposed (no jeeps).
Looks like a good rig. The drains holes have been covered (they are visible from the interior of the jeep).

“Beautiful black. Less than 2,000 mi. on rebuilt Chev. engine. Original trans. and running gear. After market Wheels and nearly new tires. New soft top … never installed since new paint.”
The body has an unusual windshield lip on the cowl.

“1968 Veep – Volkswagen motor . Newly redone.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
It doesn’t run and has been in storage for close to 40 years.
“1954 Jeep 2 door panel wagon. Been in storage since 1984. All original. Project Jeep. Not currently running but was when it was parked. Must pick up in Marriott Slaterville Utah 84404
Cash Only.
If ad is still up Willys is still for sale.
Clear Title In Hand
Non negotiable price.”
Given the shape, the grille-protector(?) looks like it could have been built for a Commando Jeepster.

“This jeep has seen better years cosmetically and mechanically but still a sought after vehicle. Good steel, no rot we can see. Motor was rebuilt about 20 years ago give er take a few but there was def an issue still and it was parked for long term. Vehicle is located in Weaverville, California. I have no idea mileage or exactly what’s wrong with it owner passed many years ago and unfortunately the bulk information on it passed as well. Great deal for a restoration jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**? Was $9000
(01/27/2021) Listed as a 1967, it looks to be a post 1972 CJ-6.
“Hello, I have a 1967 Jeep CJ6 4×4 Buick 225 3-Speed Manual transmission. This is a classic Jeep with lots of extras. No leaks, the photo in this post is old. If you would like to look at it, test drive it, etc., please txt or call me at 541-680-83zero7. My name is Dan. Thank you.”
It needs work.

“1962 Willys jeep M38A1. It was a military jeep, still has original motor, transmission exc. motor runs, just needs a few things. Breaks aren’t bolted in right so it will need to be towed. I bought it with the intention of restoring it but its just too much of a project for me to take on at the moment. These are super rare to come by, i also have doors and half doors.”
The seller is interested in trading for another jeep. He provides a list of jeeps at the bottom of the text. In his description, the seller doesn’t note that the body is a reproduction body.

“I’m listing my 1952 Willys CJ3A Jeep MAINLY for trade/possible sale consideration. The price is basically a “ballpark value” measuring tool. I’m just listing for trade vehicles I may want more than my Jeep, NOT because I need to sell or don’t like my Jeep. It is getting harder to drive as I’m getting older and would like a toy (JEEP ) that’s easier to drive (automatic, power steering, etc.) which will make sense if you read my trade list below.
