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 photo appeared in what I think was a 1979 issue of Jeep News (I couldn’t find an exact date). It’s a funky setup!
This appears to have been a CJ-2A that’s been heavily modified. Possible CJ-2L?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I’m pretty sure I’ve done a post on this car in the past, but I can’t find it at the moment.
“Original Vintage Photo RARE Davis 3 Wheel Jeep Car circa 1948 Size is 8×10″ inches.”
The VIN plate suggests this is a CJ-5 that’s been stretched and put on a Chev chassis. The grille sure is unusual.

(06/01/2017) Seth thought someone might enjoy this one. It’s a dual cowl, wooden bench Jeepster.

Oddball.
“1948CJ2A frame has been stretched and a custom bed built on this one of a kind CJ flatfender. Runs and drives, shifts good steers good. It will make a great hunting/recreational/work vehicle. Needs brake work, no title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000. May have been an ex-cj2.
It’s a mix of GPW/CJ/other parts. No description provided.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1250.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep with Subaru motor and chassis. A great project car that also runs.
We have more spare parts and extra tires and wheels too – all included.
Currently has a dead battery from sitting over the winter. We have used this on our property as a “mule” cart.
It is not titled, but I just called DMV and there is a simple process to take care of that to make it street legal.”
UPDATE: Derek did the initial research and writeup on this project, correctly identifying it as a CJ-2A. Check out the pre-restoration pics and info here: http://cj3b.info/Fire/NewSalem.html
The folks at the New Salem Fire Department near Albany, New York, recently ‘restored’ what they call a “CJ-2B Attack Engine”. And, to be fair, I suppose this CJ-2A has undergone some major changes. Perhaps it should be relabeled a 1948 CJ-2RC (Riot Control) jeep?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7900
(04/16/2018) Interesting hood design.
“377 cubic inch stroker motor pro built.high and lowrange transfer case. 400 hp quick 19,034 miles all new or rebuilt.”
This 2013 post from Offroad Action popped up while I was searching for something else. It highlighted the rebuild of an MB-turned-truck in Europe. There are a variety of photos showing the rebuild process.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $6900. It appears the spare tire holder is mounted atop an antenna bracket.
