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 .

Buz spotted this one. It is a no-reserve auction on a beautiful, stock CJ-5. You’ll want to look at the pics of this one. Compare the picture of it to the brochure below in the next post, too.
“Selling for my computer inept friend. This 1960 Willys Jeep CJ5 is in Beautiful Original Condition, probably the nicest original CJ5 in existence. Totally Original Paint, Upholstery, Engine, Miles, Everything is ORIGINAL. 21055 miles. Clear Title. Original Spare Tire is not shown in the pictures but is included in the sale. The tires are believed to be the originals and are in good shape with normal wear and no weather checking. The Jeep has been stored in a carefully climate controlled building and has seen just enough use in the last many years to keep everything functional and working well. The Jeep starts easily, runs perfectly, goes down the road as it should, and it needs nothing. The Hardtop appears to have never been removed since new. All fluids are fresh and the battery is new. Look closely at the pictures, they tell the story about this vehicle better than words, more detailed pictures are available if you request them via email. The Jeep shows very minimal use and wear with no damage or repairs. All sheet metal is in oustanding condition and the only corrosion is very minimal, located near the tailights on both sides, the pictures show this clearly. Floor pans, fenders, quarter panels hood, undercarriage, were undercoated early in this CJ’s life and have been remarkably preserved. There are no hidden problems, repairs, or any funny business … This jeep is the real thing, a near museum quality original, unmolested survivor.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Here’s a rare letter that advertises woodie kits from Station Wagons, Inc, for CJ-2A and MB/GPW models. This 2 page letter shows both a full and a half cab. Below the two page letter is an example of an ad that appeared in Popular Mechanics.
Popular Mechanics Ad from the January 1948 issue of Popular Mechanics, pg 266. This ad appeared in the February 1948 issue as well. I haven’t done a full accounting to determine how many other issues had the ad.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
This is worth a look. It includes a rear PTO.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
This looks pretty complete for a $300 jeep. There must be something good on it?? gotta love the hood scoop on this one.
“bought it from an old farmer so it wouldnt go to the scrap yard. Not running and motor is not orginal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(05/29/2012) Unclear if it runs.
“THIS IS A 1952 WILLYS JEEP WITH A HARDTOP. IT HAS A 1972 4 CYLINDER MOTOR. OTHER THAN THAT IT IS ALL ORIGINAL THAT I KNOW OF. THE TRAILER IT’S SITTING ON IS ALSO FOR SALE. ”
UPDATE: Still Available
(03/16/2012) This looks in pretty good shape.
“I have this great old Hardtop from an early low-hood willys CJ/ MB. Doors, Windshield, and top all in good condition, but will need restoration. Some glass is broken, but easy to replace as it is flat. I had it on my 47 CJ-2A, but have decided to go w/ a soft top only from now on. I never use my Jeep in the winter! This is an insulated top. Check out the pics, and give me a call. I will answer any questions I can. I will consider trades…bikes, guns, tools, guy stuff. (509)876-2354.”
