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 .
I wonder if it runs?

” You are bidding on a 1966 Jeep Willys. It was originally bought as a project vehicle, but I just don’t have the time right now for something like this. I hate to sell it because it could be really cool if fixed up.

Original 52,000 mi
4 speed with granny gear 4×4
Starts right up summer and winter; this truck is a champ. This truck was a special order #D-3823 This is a all original. Willys are hard to find and a restore would make this truck one of the best for its rareness”

Here are four different custom hardtops built during WWII and used in Alaska:
1. From “Attu WWII Photos” comes this unusually designed hardtop. I don’t think I’ve featured this previously (at least, if I did, I couldn’t find it). (It turns out this and some other photos are at the CJ-3B ATTU Hardtop Page)
http://www.hlswilliwaw.com/aleutians/attu/html/attu-wwii-pg3.htm
2. From Flickr and www.throughtheireyes2.co.uk comes this odd hardtop. The author of the throughtheireyes website collects photo albums from soldiers and publishes the photos. He has some very good photos there.
3. Here’s one more hardtop from a 1944 expedition.
4. Jimmy Stephens and his jeep with hardtop in Adak, Alaska.

Each of these posters is purchased separately from three separate eBay ads. This unique top is not something I remember seeing. Anyone know anything about it?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
You don’t see too many jeeps with Suicide doors.
“After about 12 years, way too much money and 1,000s of hours of sweat, I have completed a rebuild of this CJ2A.
Engine Components: new plugs, points & condenser, adjust timing, re-core radiator, rebuild starter, new flywheel, new coil, rebuild generator, new relay, completely rebuild the transmission (all new gears, synchronizers and bearings), all new wiring (front to back), new Solex replacement carburetor for the original Carter, new voltage regulator, plug wires, front lights, ignition switch, battery, horn.
Suspension: new springs and shocks. A steel plate for bed ( I put it under suspension because without the extra weight (250#), it beats you up), new A/T tires, new brakes and lines, Pitman arm, Tie rods.
Body (here is where it gets interesting): sanded and repainted original tub (there were 5 layers of paint to get off which included the original red that CJ2A’s came with).
I picked up a 1974 mailman’s carrier off of a ranch and fitted the top and windshield onto the CJ2A. This gave me an enclosed cab with a rear door and electric windshield wipers. Since the original doors slid on rails, I decided to hinge them and make them suicide doors. I had to custom build some latches. In response to some questions…YES, the top can be removed!
I added spot lights in the back so that I can have some light while closing gates. Put new padding and covers over seats. Painted the inside of the jeep. Remounted the spare tire carrier. I am sure I did some other things to it but I believe you get the gist of this project!”
