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 .

“Here is an excellent example of a restored 1948 CJ- 2A Jeep 4 x 4 built by Willy’s/Overland. Vehicle was found in a barn in the early 2000’s and completed in 2006. Body and paint work were performed by Rick Renshaw in Easton MD. Color is a urethane Vermont green by Ford. Everything on the Jeep is either rebuilt or new from the gas tank, fuel lines, brakes and hardware to the rebuilt differentials and leaf springs.
The Jeep has always been garage kept since restoration was completed and there appears to be no rust or rot anywhere. Paint is in excellent condition.
The ‘L-head’ 134 cu. in. /60 h.p. 4-cylinder engine is original as well as the T90 3-speed transmission and were totally rebuilt. The drive line has less than 1000 miles since completion.
Interior cushions were done in leather for comfort and the top, rear, and side curtains are new in the original canvas material with stenciling. The Willy’s Jeep was totally rewired and remains a 6-volt system (new battery). The gauges all work except for the fuel. Owner believes it is the sending unit.
Tires are the the original style 6.00 x 16”.
Selling for personal reasons.”
Looks in good shape. Seller describes the engine as a Chevy, but it looks like a Buick to me.

“I currently do not have all the information for this truck or the other Jeep that my Father is selling. I will be getting more information on it as I get it from him, but he is currently out of town and doesn’t have the Miles on the truck.
The story is, my father and I purchased 7 CJ jeeps and restored them or are in the process of doing so. Once I restored mine, I moved on, but he kept restoring the others. He is looking to get the amount of money that he has in them. Not to make a business out of this and make a huge profit. They are taking up space in his garages and he has purchased more projects. So keep these on the road and have some fun.
The truck runs and was painted by a professional. Since he has so many of them, they were all restored with the correct parts from Jeep dealers, mainly Walck and Kieser.”
Could be worth a look. Probably has an f-head.

Travis shared these parts for sale.
“This is a complete Jeep body with a title. The body is originally from Walck’s 4 Wheel Drive. The tailgate, windshield and hood are all stamped with “WILLYS”. Everything is in great shape.
The tub, fenders, tailgate and grill will fit a CJ-2A or CJ-3A. The windshield is for a CJ-2A only. The soft top will fit a CJ-2A or MB WWII Jeep. The roll cage will fit the CJ-2A, CJ-3A and MB and the roll cage will fit inside the soft top.
The tub has been modified. It has a Tuffy glove box. The wheel wells have been cut for larger tires (will fit up to 35″ tires) and the firewall retrofitted with a Wrangler YJ hanging pedal assembly allowing the use of a hydraulic clutch and power hydraulic brakes. The steering column is from a 1966 Chevy C10 pickup with an integral turn signal switch. The glove box, hanging pedal assembly, clutch cylinder, brake cylinder and steering column all come with the tub.
I will part it out for the prices below or sell it all together for $2500 or best offer.
Please note the soft top is draped over roll cage and not mounted to the tub. This is why it looks wrinkly.
Grill – $100

Used Tailgate – $60
