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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
It’s a project, but unclear what all needs to be done.
“Selling a 1940’s military willys. I do have some documents for the vehicle. Needs body work but most important the original 4 cylinder engine is not in it! For whatever reason the previous owner put a V-6 in it. Other wise great project car, solid, and a wonderful piece of history. Please call if you are interested between respectable hours of the day.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
(07/23/2016)The body looks in reasonably good shape.
“I have a 1947 CJ2A chassis with an aftermarket MB body. Jeep has been sitting outside for 15+ years. Body and frame are in exceptional shape despite this. Hood, windshield frame and grill have been kept inside and are perfect. Have some parts…see pics. Motor is locked up but not frozen, trans is as well. broke a spark plug also, again, see pics. Have paper work. Price is firm.”

This is a mix of parts.
“I was told the jeep was a 48 model bit I can’t find an id tag on it that indicates the year. The pervious owner installed the drive train out of a 1989 jeep Cherokee in it. It has power steering, power brakes and an automatic 4×4 transmissionWas sitting for about 3 years. I’ve gotten it to fire up off a iv bottle fuel tank and I have moved it back and forward. Definitely needs carb rebuilt and a tune up. I was going to turn it into a toy but I don’t have the time or money. The front drive line needs installed and the vacuum engagement for the front end needs hooked up. It’s being sold or traded as a project. Needs work to be a safe vehicle. Willing to trade for?
