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 engine’s exhaust needs a little help.
“All original. Bolts broke off on the motor block for the exhaust manifold. Been in the family for 40 years.”

“This truck is all original except for the tailgate. It’s a 1950. It starts and runs great. Flathead 4 cylinder. Clear title. Last registered in 1968. I bought this truck from a gantleman who’d owned it since the 60s. Until last week it has been parked in his garage for around 30 years. I cleaned the fuel line and the points. Added gas, water, and a battery. It fired up and runs perfect. The tires are dry rotted very bad but hold air. I put some brake fluid in the master cylinder and the brakes pump up but barely work. I’ve driven the truck about 5 or 6 miles and it’s wonderful. The steering is stiff but seems to free up a little more with each turn.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This looks like a good price.
“Very well preseved 1947 overland is all original except converted to 12 volt. Has 22000 miles and runs and drives great. There is NO rust holes or swollen seams but it could use a paint job.Brand new military style tires, new mastercylinder and rebuilt starter. By far better than a golf cart because it’s road legal and goes almost 50 mph. It is also gets very good mileage and it’s 4 wheel drive. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3950
(05/03/2011) It appears original, but will need some body work.

Lots of receipts…no rust of any kind…hasn’t seen rain, mud, or snow since the restoration…still needs a few details like a rear view mirror or seat belts if you want to install them (didn’t come with them). Willys Go-Devil 134ci flat head four engine…3 speed tranny…twin stick transfer case…Warn hubs. Runs well, shifts well, and the 4wd works. Clean MA title in hand. I’ve got too many projects and not enough time or space”

Erroneously listed as a 1946 CJ-2A, this GPW looks in very good condition.
“Classic, 1946 Army Jeep (built by Ford), lovingly restored using genuine parts from the 1940s Original 4 cy. engine. A joy to drive. Still out performs modern 4WDs on steep hills. Family pride and joy, but time to downsize. Looking for a buyer with equal love of classics. Available for viewing by appointment. Complete with shovel, axe and fuel can. Always stored inside, includes fitted dust cover.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
