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 .
The 2A body is atop a YJ chassis.

“1946 Willy’s on a YJ chassis. 4 cylinder 2.5 5 speed manual 4×4 It has a Clean GA title This a definitely a project but it will still crank up and drive . Open to trades for other vehicles especially if they have manual transmissions / or are classics”
Here’s an odd, but hardly looking project.

“Nice older Jeep project 4×4 works has a 6 cylinder engine with manual transmission, needs work on the brakes, new battery, tune up, you must bring a trailer, you cannot drive it home, dump body works, come use it for hauling wood.”
UPDATE: This rig has undergone some updates. See the pics from 2022 at the bottom of the post.

Here’s an unusual build. The off-center headlights mess with me.

The guy I got it from said it was custom built by a guy who worked as a machinist/welder at the Mines in Bagdad Arizona so he had full access to the metal shop there.

“1952 jeep 4×4 good body no rust, not running at this time.
has electrical issues. 4 cyl.”
Mike shared this modified CJ-5 with six wheels. I can’t tell if both rear axles are setup to drive or not.

I can’t tell if the year is correct, but this is one odd build.
https://humboldt.craigslist.org/pts/d/miranda-1952-jeep-willys-army-jeep-m38/7709293496.html
“1952 military willys jeep m38 a1, it’s been modified at one time we think it may have been a movie car by the way its done but its neat. I have good spare engine comes with, original one that’s in it sat to long n needs work but I’m sure its probably fixable too. It’s fresh out of a barn, no rust or rot but it’s def been worked. $2200 obo.”
Sometimes a body is more trouble than its worth. It runs and drives find without one.

(12/10/2023) This is an interesting build, but the pics don’t show all the aspects. It’s possibly now a convertible (or just soft top) and has a tower blind attached to the bed.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1412983369570905
“It’s a 1955 Willis jeep , 4wd ,motor is a 226 super hurricane , 80,128 miles on it. Comes with high rack, feeder, and winch. Also have another extra motor for it. Must pick up.”
