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 June 19, 1942, Milwaukee Journal article describes early farm jeep tests at the Auburn facility.
I’ve seen plenty of Marx Jeeps, but finding one with an original box is rare.
“Vintage MARX WILLYS JEEP Pressed Steel Toy Car + Box *EX* (USA) Neat and hard to find 11″ pressed steel Willys Jeep in original box. This toy would rate as the cleanest one I have ever seen except for the front grill area where I’m guessing the paint reacted and flaked off. Other than the grill issue this toy is bright and shiny as day one with a crisp and clean box to match. Good luck. NO RESERVE!”

“Up for sale is my 1943 Willys MB army jeep. It was motor pool refurbished by a WWII veteran and friends. I bought it from his son after he passed on. When I bought it I cleaned the fuel tank and lines and installed a new fuel pump. It runs okay but the engine needs a tune up. Brakes work good. Transmission runs quietly, but shifts poorly from 1st to second, and back. Tub was rusty but repaired. Needs new wiring, and generator rebuilt. Lights don’t work. Have speedometer and other gauges, but aren’t in great shape. Needs shocks. Comes with new NDT tires. Also have 5 combat wheels that go with it. This jeep has lots of extras. Clear open title. Reenactment quality. $12,500. I like to trade, but don’t ask unless you have a delorean or clean jeep wrangler /sahara that is paid for. Price is firm, I don’t have to sell. Don’t need a job, or help selling it. As always, local pickup and cash only. Serious inquiries only”

This September 1957 article from Willys News shared the news that the NYPD was testing jeeps for use in New York’s Central Park, Coney Island, and the Rockaways. I’ve tried to find subsequent photos of the green and white jeeps in color, but haven’t had any luck.

Good looking jeep with lots of new parts. The VIN isn’t quite right, so it may not be a 1946.

“I purchased this couple of years ago and have replaced & rapaired many things. This 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A is in great mechanical order. This starts and drives great. Everything works including the Vacumn Wipers. The boby is in overall good condition with some small dings on tailgate, Front fenders, and has some rust though on drivers side floor pan it is about 1” in diameter which could be easily fixed. This also has original 1946 YOM California plates. This was originally owned by a farmer in the Sacramento are and has used for Hunting & Camping.

It’s a 2WD drag jeep.
“1948 flat fender Willys low hood set up for the sand drags.. Built 350 with NOS (never used) ford 9 in rear with spool.. 35×20″ paddles.. I have two front axles for it. A two wheel drive axle out of a DJ and a stock Dana 27. It is a project. I bought it from my brother a year ago and now I have new plans. It’s been garage kept for the last 4 years.. It runs great and loud as hell. It needs the rear axle’s suspension set up,new radiator, and some seat brackets.. Like I said its a project but not a hard one.. I don’t need to sell it so don’t low ball me.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Powered by a big block chevy.
This awesome Willys was newly finished in 2013. Custom made to look like its been sitting on the side of grandpas barn for the last 50 years. Custom patina paint by Kreative Designs gives the illusion that this rat rod Willys looks aged, but the closer you get , the more you realize this Willys is anything but old and tired. 468 Big Block Chevy with over 500+ Rear wheel horsepower (Custom built, blue printed, and balanced), TURBO 400 TRANS, MUSTANG II front suspension.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
