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’s another great illustration by Roberto Flores. Merry Christmas!
Today I received Bill Spear’s new book, WARBABY: The True Story of the Original Jeep. In it Bill explores the history of the first jeep, the Bantam BRC in detail. The book looks beautiful, full of text and photographs. I can’t wait to dive into it; and at 400 pages, there’s plenty to explore!
The first edition printing will be limited to 1,000 copies. The price is $60, but to me, having leafed through it today, this effort appears well worth the cost. Learn more over at Bill’s website: http://warbaby.wmspear.com
While you wait for the book, check out this one hour plus presentation by Bill Spears:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Looks good.
“I purchased our Jeepster in 2010 from a gentleman that bought it to restore. He was going to change out the engine, transmission, etc. and fortunately we were able to buy the car from him in its original condition. The Jeepster was green when we bought it and in need of complete restoration. We started the restoration in 2013 and it was completed in 2015.
We did as close to a frame off restoration as you can do without removing the body from the frame. The car runs well and is a real head turner.
I bought and restored this car for my wife. She’s uncomfortable driving it so I would consider trading it. If you’re interested in a trade, please, 1st send me email pics and details of your car, truck or travel trailer. We can save each other a lot of time.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1995.
Not running. Has a flathead.
“1954 Jeep willys in good condition. Was running last summer but has not been started since. Has the four cylinder Go-Devil engine. Jeep is very solid and no rust. The title is clean and the tag is up to date. Just needs someones TLC to get it into fine condition. Transmission and rear end also work very well. Hitch has been modified (see the pics). Would make someone a good Jeep at $1995.”

(11/20/2015) This is worth a look.
“For sale 1930 classic car jeep willy call”
This two page article appeared in the July 1953 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. It’s mostly a photographic spread about the trek over the Anza Trail. Six hundred folks in one hundred and sixty jeeps participated in the trip.
I’m pretty confident that WWII ended in 1945 ….
“This is a 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2a made by Kaiser Steel in California. These were made by 3 companies during World War II. Kaiser made by far the most of them. They were made to be sturdy and take an extreme pounding. The simplicity of their systems made them really easy to repair and keep on the road. They are great for a fun family off road vehicle. Or for use in parades or other promotional events. They aren’t meant for modern highways as their top speed is around 55 mph. However these vehicles will almost climb telephone poles.
There are not many places an old CJ won’t take you in the backcountry. This has the original L134 4 Cylinder Flathead Engine it originally came with. Not sure about the running condition of the motor. It is numbers matching and all there. It sat in a garage for at least 12 years. According to the original owners when they parked it in the garage it was in running condition. We acquired this thinking of restoring it but then we got another project that needs to take precedence. The only thing not original is its been upgraded to an alternator. This gives it much better and reliable charging than the original 6 volt system”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
(11/14/2016) Runs and drives. I can’t tell if the interior is any good or not.
“Selling my 1951 Willys Jeep Overland Wagon. Matching numbers, all original New Mexico Jeep. Overall condition is good to very good. This Jeep came with the F4-134 Hurricane 4 cylinder motor which was only offered in 50 & 51 for the 4×4 model 63. Motor, front differential, hubs, trans & transfer case are all in good working order. Runs great! And drives as well as can be expected for a 65 yr old Jeep. New correct size tires, but not OEM. Brakes are in good working order. Paint & stainless bright work in excellent shape w/only one spot rust on the body. Interior in good condition & has all the original seats. Gauges are original eqiupment & all of them work. Headliner is missing, but have a new OEM replacement. Bought this Jeep in hopes of finishing the restoration. Just don’t have enough time for everything so it must find a new home. This Jeep really needs to stay in New Mexico! Hope there’s some interest out there for it. Really must see to appreciate. Have clean NM title in hand. ”
Look solid.
“Refurbished from the frame up. Original flat 4 engine and body. This is a great winter project. With very little work that need to be completed. While it does not currently run. We did put s little gas in the carburetor and it fired right up. Has the title, but the serial numbers don’t match perfectly. This is common for these types of vehicles since this is the first civilian model, they were trying to use the supply of WWII parts.
Things still needed to be worked on:
1) wiring harness need hooked up
2) new tires
3) possibly a second seat
4) driving assembly needs connected.
That’s it. About 200 dollars of parts and labor you have an almost show room quality Willy’s ready to go. I am getting a divorce and it needs to go. That the only reason why I’m selling it.”
