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 .

“1951 CJ3A WILLYS JEEP, BODY IN GOOD CONDITION, RED, 4 CYL. 3 SPEED, 4WD, THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR RESTORING SINCE BODY IS IN GOOD CONDITION, OR TO BUILD UP FOR A TRAIL JEEP. I DON’T HAVE TIME TO PLAY WITH THIS JEEP, IT NEEDS A NEW HOME. IT RUNS TWICE A YEAR: WHEN I GET IT OUT OF STORAGE AND WHEN I PUT IT BACK IN. IT HAS SPENT THE LAST 30 YEARS OF ITS LIFE AT 9,400 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL. HAS A TOW BAR, A USEFUL LITTLE PICKUP BED BOLTED ON THE BACK USING THE ORIGINAL WILLYS TAILGATE. IT HAS A NEW GAS TANK, COIL, DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR. IT NEEDS NEW TIRES AND A BATTERY. IF YOU PURCHASE THIS JEEP, YOU WILL NEED TO PUT IT ON A TRAILER OR FLATBED SINCE THE TIRES ARE VERY OLD.”
I’ve seen them in old pictures, but Kim is the first owner of a Long Range Desert Group S.A.S. Willys to contact me and share pics. Of course, you can’t but help but think of the old Rat Patrol shows when you see these vehicles. After reading through the LRDG.org website, one of the things I’ve learned is that there was plenty of thought, research and recon work that went into the supplies these jeeps and truck would need to carry with them as they sailed long, desolate seas of sand.
Kim writes, “The jeep I bought is mechanically perfect. The previous owner put all his money into the motor, brakes and trans. The body on my jeep needs some help and eventually I will replace the rear and floor sections of the tub as there is some rust. Fortunately, It came to me painted in the proper color and had many extras including a Bagnold sun compass.
As a special addition to this jeep, I re-built a WW2 Italian de-milled M37 machine gun and converted it into a gas gun M.G. simulator. It sounds like a M.G. but no blanks are needed and it can not shoot a projectile. That is mounted on the front cowling. As I have been a machinist and tool maker for 30 years I machined a set of Twin Vickers machine guns out of aluminum for the rear mount. These are strictly dummies with no moving parts.
I did not buy this jeep to be a Trailer Queen. This is a re-enactment jeep and as far as I am concerned it looks like it just got back from Kufra Oasis and that is exactly what I want. My ultimate dream is to have 2 WW2 jeeps. The S.A.S (which is not street legal) and an American OD jeep that is licensed and ready to drive to work.”
And a couple pics of the Twin Vickers Kim made. In this pic, some basic outlines and contours have been created in the aluminum stock.
Here you can see many more details are apparent.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was ebay.
