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 .

“Classic Willys Jeep has a 2.8l V6, T90 3speed trans with newer transfer case and larger front and rear axcles. Has wide 36″ tires and alumin craragar rims. however tires are rotted and one is blown out. Also has the desirable fiberglass body. I purchased to fix up but due to property I live at being up for sale I have to let someone else do this project. Unsure of engine issues as it did not run when I purchased it. It does turn over. no water in oil or in radiator. Great project for father and son or for off roading or steeet wise.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This hasn’t run in a while. Has a power converter on the dash.
“This is a 1967 cj6 that has been on a farm its whole life, it has the typical old CJ rust spots that are very fixable floorboards are solid, engine runs Jeep drives, needs TLC, it has been in a barn for the last 15 years, currently licensed and registered with a clean title”
This project appears to have potential.

“1947 restored Willies Jeep. Basically original. Must see!”
Mitch’s cousin has these terra tires stolen out of their grandmother’s shop. Feel free to email me at d @ deilers.com (no spaces around the @) if you see or know anything.
“Typical 31×15.50-15 terras. Stolen from Snohomish County, WA sometime in the last 2 months. Wheels are unique- widened Kelsey Hayes wheels as pictured. 3 have the correct centers, one has had the center crudely replaced with a Ford style center. Torched the opening larger for jeep fitment, crude welds maring the center to the rim.
Stolen from my cousin out of my grandma’s shop. Shop doesn’t get checked very often so we don’t know exactly when they disappeared, but he bought them less than 2 months ago. Should be easy enough to ID.”
Titled Geschlossener Jeep fur Sommer und Winter, these two brochures came from Switzerland. The majority of the images show configurations for the CJ-6, but a CJ-3A looking jeep is shown as is a CJ-5. You can see one brochure has “72” written on it, which *might* be a reference to 1972? Those seem like some nice configurations of well-built tops.
A March 30, 1947, article in the Metropolitan Pasadena Star-News introduced the Forest Service’s ten new CJ-2As to California readers. These vehicles were equipped with two-way radios to aid fire control.
The article notes that a Weasel was being tested, along with the development of a four-wheel-drive vehicle that would be better for forest fire fighting, but I could find no references on the internet to an offload vehicle designed by Ira Funk.
This one-page press release focuses on the CJ-2A’s engine.
