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 .
This ad appeared in a July 1957 magazine, but don’t which one. As Vernon noted about this ad, the ad below also shows a truck with a stake bed extension. Any ever seen that option?
On February 11, 1945, the Pittsburgh Press shared the news that Ireland had ruled that the word Jeep could not be trademarked there. There were two reasons for that decision: 1) the word had not been stamped on the vehicle(s) and 2) the term ‘Jeep’ had fallen into public domain as a result of usage.
Both concerns seem valid. Even today, there’s confusion around the brand in terms of Willys vs. Jeep. However, one could argue that both issues were the result of Willys-Overland’s effort to win a war, thus the company sacrificed normal naming (in terms of vehicle models), advertising, and trademarking issues. So, why should they be penalized?
This FC sold for $36,000.

“Up for sale is a 1950 Willys Jeepster Overland, This vehicle has very good bones and would make an excellent restoration project. Body is solid although quarter panel on driver side has some rust..As you can see in pictures the top has a good frame and the seats are all there but will need reupholstered.. The original engine has been replaced with a 455CI, 4BBL four speed with power steering and the steering column as well. Some of the body paint is peeling but the metal is really in great shape.Under carriage is also very solid. Also along with this we have a number of extra parts including hoods, vent windows, two more top frames and many other items. The asking price is $5500 for everything”
The body looks patched.

“I have two 1946 Jeep CJ2As for sale. The one with the hard top has a tub that’s still in one piece. You might be able to fix this tub too. The fenders on that one are fairly nice. The other one’s tub is shot. Both Jeeps still have their original motors/transmissions, etc. (L134, T90, Dana 18) The drivelines are both complete. I did not check if the motors turned over. Frames are both in good shape. Perfect for parts for a build or to put these two together to make a CJ2A”
