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 .

“Recently removed from a Willys Jeep project that I am parting out. All internals in great shape except for the special lock washer, and the end of the 6 spline shaft. The washer and special C clip are available from Advanced Adapters in their installation kit. The end of the 6 spline shaft is serviceable, just needs dressed up. Brass syncro ring and dogs and springs all look good. Planetary gears spin free with no noticeable wear. Original vintage Jeep and International Scout All range overdrive, just needs the washer replaced and installed on your Dana Spicer 18. I did not disassemble the planetary housing any further than is depicted…If you want me to dig deeper into the assemble I can but I don’t think it necessary. This was removed from a Ford 289, top loader 3 speed and Spicer 18 that came out of a running Willys.”

(10/25/2014) Runs and drives.

Has a nice Bestop soft top. I read they made 50,000 of these versus 10x as many CJ-5s. The CJ-6 has a 20″ longer wheelbase, otherwise they are the same. Predecessor to the CJ-8 scrambler and the LJ wrangler, this is the original. I got it to restore, but have a few other projects going. I am also selling two a Willys CJ-2As.”

“1949 Willys Jeepster, 6 cylinder, original owner, red convertible”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
(08/18/2014) It is a project.
“I have in my possession a 1950 willys cjv-35 (no title), these are a rare military jeep, 1000 of these were made in 1950 for the navy they are a military jeep they are a combination of the MB, M38 and CJ-3A jeeps
There are less than 100 of these left that are in conditions ranging from restored to a pile of parts
I also have a motor for it the motor is missing a few parts but I believe I have all the parts for it, the motor was running when pulled but was burning some oil and probably needs to be rebuilt (it is not the factory motor).these jeeps were designed to be water proof i have the air filter, oil filter and cross tube. the front and rear differentials, hood, and windshield have all been under cover until last week when i assembled the jeep. The front differential has new axels. The body has some pretty bad rust but the sides are in good shape.
The steering column is not factory
with it comes a 1947 cj-2a frame with front and rear differentials, the frame is in decent shape and has been under a tarp for the last few years.
I would love to see this restored, unfortunately I need to sell these to help pay for school and I have another project that takes priority. please contact me with any questions!
i get home about 5:00pm weekdays and am free on weekends”
A photo in the 1947 issue of Chicago Tribune shows the Brits must have gotten bored, so they started jumping jeeps with motorcycles.
Here’s a unique bit of Willys-Overland literature. It’s actually a poster.
“Very neat and unusual 1949 poster and postcard from Willys-Overland Motors. The poster is trying to get dealerships to come on board with their lineup of vehicles. The postcard is for sending in to get setup as a dealer. This rare poster measures 22″WX17″T. There is one small tear measuring about 1/2″ on one of the creases of the poster. This would be an excellent addition to any collection.”
