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.
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 .
It’s a part’s jeep.

“Awesome old Willys! Very original. Runs excellent, no smoke at all. Engine believed to have been rebuilt 17,000 miles ago. Has new master cylinder, wheel cylinders, and brake shoes. New fuel tank, lines, fuel pump, rebuilt carb. New 6 volt battery.
Body is in excellent shape. 1 small crack near spare tire mount (See photo). Floor pans rust free except support bars. (easy fix). Top is excellent. Right windshield is cracked.
Tires are dry rotted and need to be replaced.”
Listed as a 1944, this has a mix of mostly CJ and a few military parts. To me, it’s most likely a VEC CJ-2A.

This looks good. It’s a small quibble, but given the work done, I don’t understand why the ignition switch wasn’t put back in it’s original place.
