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 .

“Cj2 Willys on an early land-cruiser fj40 chassis. Body has burned but is all there. No paperwork on anything”
Given the shape, the grille-protector(?) looks like it could have been built for a Commando Jeepster.

“This jeep has seen better years cosmetically and mechanically but still a sought after vehicle. Good steel, no rot we can see. Motor was rebuilt about 20 years ago give er take a few but there was def an issue still and it was parked for long term. Vehicle is located in Weaverville, California. I have no idea mileage or exactly what’s wrong with it owner passed many years ago and unfortunately the bulk information on it passed as well. Great deal for a restoration jeep.”
This jeep has a custom dash that looks similar to the aftermarket dash sometimes seen (mostly with California jeeps).

“Bought and fixed this willys with the hope that I would enjoy off roading, well just not my thing. It’s a 1947 willys Jeep cj2-a. I stuffed a 1971 corvette 350 in it with aluminum radiator, electric fan, pertronix electronic ignition, Taylor spark plug wires, new water pump, thermostat, and a brand new starter. Has a Saganall steering box, new intake manifold and a edelbrock carb. She fires right up although she can be a little cold blooded but once it’s warmed up she doesn’t fail.
Tires are 31’s and still in good shape, it has new brake lines all the way around, new master cylinder and a new slave cylinder for the hydraulic clutch, has about 55-60 psi in oil pressure and runs about 180-185 degrees. Bikini top is fairly new, no rips or tears, seats are in great shape. I made custom seat mounts so you can move them forward/back and tilt.
Also has a 8000lb winch mounted up front with its own cut off switch. Looking to sell soon so I can move on to my other toys I rather play with. Has been out of the system for years. I can proved a bill of sale, I also have an appointment on Wednesday to do a vin verification with CHP to get it titled. $6500 obo”
