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 .
This cool custom wagon will be at this weekend’s Jeepfest in Toledo.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.
The jeep includes a car trailer.
“This Ford GPW was born on April 14th. 1943. Serial number 108XXX. It has the original data plates. The flat head 4 cyl. is not the original engine. All under hood equipment is there. Voltage regulator is a civilian type. This Jeep sat in a pole barn in California since 1998 and has less than 50 miles on it since then. I did a DMV search and the title is clean. It showed no registration prior to 1998. I registered it in Oregon and registration is good until 2020. This Jeep needs some restoration or drive it as is. It is a driver. Starts reliably every time and brakes work.
The jeep comes on a trailer. Also comes with an all steel replica M1919A4 Browning machine gun with new in the box M48 glovebox mount and 5 combat rims.
I make no guarantees and the condition of sale (If you are interested) are as is, where is. I have much more information to share if you decide you want to look at it. I really want to sell this Jeep to someone who will honor its history and restore it to its former glory.”
Listed as a 1945 CJ-2A, it is more likely an early ’46.
“Great running and driving 1945 WWII era Willys Jeep CJ2A. Original Kaiser Supersonic flathead 4 cylinder and all original running gear. Owned by my US Army Veteran 86 year old dad. The lettering is vinyl, his old unit numbers etc. It received a major overhaul 20 or so years ago, wiring, brakes, shocks, all rubber hoses, brake lines etc, converted to 12 volts with alternator, 5 matching correct military tires. At the same time it got new rings and bearings, and valve job. Everything works as it should, high/low range, 4×4, lights, turn signals, horn, gauges etc. Dual gas tanks. New battery, fresh out of long storage. Paperwork is current. Clear title. Old paint, it’s a 20 footer. I have the top bows, not shown. Needs nothing. Oh, except wipers. And a new home.”

May be worth a look.
“Selling my much loved 1949 Jeepster. It’s the original deal…flathead motor, 3 speed with overdrive…(works too) Poor thing just needs more than I have time to give. The paint is all old and faded. The front seats need work. They are not the original seats but I do have the original ones too. It only has a generator. No alternator so the lights are not super bright. I have 5 original hubcaps still. It really needs some billet wheels to make it pop. Perhaps a LS motor to make it really go good at the drags. it’s got 98,000 miles so its probly all wore out by now cause these old cars just were not built like modern cars. They were all wore out at 100k.figure on rebuilding everything. I want a Jeep FC170 pickup or a modern diesel Crew Cab pickup so the poor jeepster gotta go. Might consider partial trade for a FC170 project. It’s fun to drive around ( I drive it a lot) but I want a truck. and it’s so not a truck. I got lots of pix in my phone. is easiest to text them.”

Ann has suggested we leave the paint job as is for now and call it “Rusty.” Sounds good to me.

Email me for pics.”
I’m sure someone out there is proud of this trailer, but honestly, if I brought that home to Ann, I’d be sleeping in it alone …. with all my belongings. Of course, there’s that old saying: there’s a trailer for every traveler. Okay, I just made that up.
“57 Willys Jeep that is completely original! low miles! runs and drives but need carburetor work.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Looks like there’s value here.
“For sale is my ’55 Willy’s Jeep. It’s a straight, clean, completely rust-free original from southern CA. I bought it about 15 years ago with the intention of restoring it to like new condition – however the the project was started and never finished. As a result, the CJ is not currently running – the primary reason of which is that it has no wiring (I pulled out to replace). The Hurricane F-134 engine turns over, and everything else was in working order before disassembly. It has a the original T-90 transmission case mated to a T-18 transfer case.
I decided I didn’t have the time/dedication to commit to restoring this truck, however this remains an excellent project for someone who does. You won’t find a better base truck to work on, and this is the first year CJ5 ever produced (which are both the reasons why I originally bought it). Tough to find a truck that isn’t all modified and jacked-up – and I believe the red paint is the original believe it or not.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/04/2016) It’s a project.

(06/02/2016) Looks like an interesting rig.
“We purchased this vintage ’49 Willys truck about 7 years ago to add to our array of classic trucks intended for full restoration. We have only driven it around on our homestead periodically during that interim, putting less than 50 miles on it.
We bought it at a high price even without body or paint work done because the previous owners had done an incredible amount of mechanical type work in that restoration process stretching from 1997 to 2005. The truck mostly sat until we bought it in 2007-8 period into the tune of about $10,000 total invested into the truck.
In the paperwork received with it there was a thick stack of receipts of work done. Like a dummy, I threw away some of them before realizing what the receipts were. I have gone through the many line items of the receipts to come up with the below list. The line items of work during the restoration process was about $8,400, but the total paid on account receipts were over $15,000, so we evidently do not have all the line item work receipts. It does appear this may have included the cost of the truck as well, but it is hard to tell. The old guy that had the work done had hardly driven the truck with low miles since the work was done according to his relative from whom we purchased the truck.
