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 .

“1946ish Jeep CJ-2A. No engine, otherwise complete. Lots of bondo and rust. Great for yard art, project build or just annoying the heck out of your spouse.”
Initially, I thought this was a whole jeep.
“I have a CLEAN, proper title… No frame, great tub for restoration. Comes with a hood, two windshield frames, one decent drivers fender and a rough passenger side fender. One grill. Two tailgates.”

Not sure how much value is here.
“I have an old Willys 1946 Jeep
that I got from someone else with plans to restore it.
It has an F head engine which seems ok.
My wife recently passed away and I just can’t work on it.
You will need to haul it away.
It doesn’t have a title but I can give you a bill of sale,and I do have the vin number.”

2. He also share this link. There are a series of WWII/Present photos. You drag your cursor over the photo and it changes to the present. It includes informative captions. In one photo there’s the front end of a jeep (can you find it?) and in a second one, are some soldiers unloading an odd mini-bike (at least I am not familiar with it).

“For sale is a Willys MB with a 1942 GPW frame. Previous owner’s grandfather brought the vehicle back from Europe after the war. It has since been restored and a new tub was installed so this is not a numbers matching vehicle. It is a beautiful Jeep to drive, take to shows and use in parades. Absolutely NO rust. Engine was completely taken apart and rebuilt by professionals a month or so ago. Have receipts for $5K worth of work and parts. New period correct wiring harness.

“This is a 1959 Willys Jeep. I bought it as a project and as some things go just never got around to it. I had it running when I first bought it. Has been sitting about 3-4 years since then. I have boxes full of parts to go with it. A nice soft top and all rails. Also have an additional chassis with differentials and running gear. Title says 1959 Willys. I have a Willys and Jeep tailgate both of which are included. Too many odds and ends to list.”
https://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/6114390515.html
UPDATE: Still Available.
This has a 350 stowed inside. Seller wants Canadian cash, so I suspect the jeep is in Canada.
“This is a WW2 jeep. I restored it to almost original condition. The frame has the gun mount on it. The brakes are drum brakes that work good. The body was ruff when I got it. It was sand blasted and new metal installed. I got the seats and a lot of the gear from a willys war jeep dealer from the US. The tires are what would be on the jeep of that year. The wheels are combat wheels that split apart with eight bolts. The paint took 4 months to get as I wanted the original paint. The white marking on the jeep were painted on using stencils. The bottom of the tub is under coated. New body mounts of that time were used. Here are the things that are not of 1944. It has a 350 Chevy in it and a 3 speed tranny. All tucked away so you cannot tell. The electrical has been updated. This is a real eye catcher and drives nice. ”

The annual “Delaware Goes to War- Victory In Europe” reenactment took place at Fort Miles in Delaware last weekend. Joe shared these photos taken by Bill Goodwin. Thanks! (I think this is a good start to “Front-end Friday”)
Today, a gentleman name “Moos” from the Netherlands will be flying into Redmond, Oregon, to purchase to a Willys Truck and drive it to Kent, Washington. From there, the track will get shipped to the Netherlands, where he’ll prepare it for a trip from the Netherlands down to Dakar (Senegal) in Africa.
Hopefully, everything will go smoothly on his drive today. Moos has my number in case he has a problem along his route. If he does have a problem, I may be phoning folks along his route to serif you can help. I will be around Renton for part of the day, but then I will be heading to Bellingham to deliver some jeep tires and enjoy some dinner with Wade Smith.
I suggested this route to avoid some of the Friday traffic, but he still must drive north up Interstate-5.
And here’s the truck. If you drive by Moos, give him a wave!
UPDATE: Still Available.
()6/18/2016) Seller notes that jeep was originally restored at a jeep dealership.
