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: Price dropped to $1900.
Needs work of some kind.

(11/24/2015) This modified jeep looks to have a bobcat 3B body.
“This is a cool looking off road vehicle! It turns heads and is fun to drive. This amazing vehicle is located in Albany, Oregon and we encourage everyone to come take a look at it and drive it for yourself. The best opinion is your opinion.
Exterior: The exterior of this Jeep is in amazing condition. The fiberglass body is in great shape, with a colored match bed lined interior. Custom steel bumpers both front and rear with a bad a** cage gives this willys it’s aggressive look.
Interior: Fitted with two new lowback bucket seats, a modern ebrake for safety, and new gauges, just get in a cruise or hit the trails. We have taken over 60 pictures of this vehicle. Please look over all of them and give us a call if you have any questions.
Mechanics: The heart of this rig is a GM small block 327v8, backed by a 3 speed manual with overdrive, longtube headers with side exhuast, great looking rims and tires,as well as much more.
This V8 starts right up, idles fine, and has good power and acceleration and drives straight down the road. The Odometer currently reads 01, but has not been verified if it is original. Inspected, serviced and detailed and it’s ready to drive anywhere you need.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(06/20/2015) This might have some potential.
“Jeep old 1948 CJ2a parts or project. nice complete, original in repairable or parts. $1500 OBO, ”
Bob spotted this today at an antique store. It was $199! One of these sold on eBay a few years ago.
Maury scanned and shared this CJ-5 Brochure. It is easy to forget how many accessories were offered for the CJ-5 in 1970. Of course, this doesn’t include other aftermarket parts that were available.
That’s some serious mud.
“This is an original press photo. Photo measures 8.5 x 6.75inches. Photo is dated 03-13-1944.”

“This original flat head 4 cylinder 1949 Willys Jeepster has a clear AZ TITLE and ready to restore. It runs and drives but is not a driver. It needs a full restoration. The engine smokes, but does not knock or make noises. A set of rings and you should be good to go. The transmission shifts great!!!! Both the front suspension and rear axle has been rebuilt. The driveshaft and the brakes (including new drums) are all rebuilt. There are various new parts, which have been installed so this can be started and driven short distances. The radiator has been rodded out, new water pump, hoses (oil and water, brake), plugs, distributer, wires, rebuilt carb, new steering wheel, etc….. The wiring is shot, and is only wired to start and has brake lights. However, a new OE style harness is included.

“1947 Willys Jeep W/ Meyers Snow plow. New Brake master Cylinder. Great winter Project. Does not run!”

“Hi, this is a 1949 Jeepster needing full restoration. The Jeep is complete minus a new cloth top (all bows and rear window are present) the antenna and the stainless strip on the hood-all other trim is present, she will need new tires as they are very old. You can jump on the front fender bottoms and the rear steps as they are very solid, there is rust through in the front floors and the outer rockers-both have amateur patches. She comes with a bill of sale and many old Connecticut registrations. Asking $4,900 or willing to trade for a 1930’s car or truck…I am willing to add cash if yours is worth more. ”

The whose-it-what-huh? I’ve did a few searches and added some more info following the jeep photos.
BACKSTORY: A few months ago Nick discovered someone with an APU. We assumed it was a O.E. Szekely modified APU, as that’s the only type anyone had unearthed. That’s why Nick was shocked when he took the time to visit the man with the APU. There, he discovered it was made by the Valentine Welder and Manufacturing Company. Once he saw it, he knew he had to have it. He made an offer and bought it. Nick shared more over at G503:
