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 .
John spotted some vintage jeep/willys model kits at the Old Model Kits website. They seem cheaper than you’ll find on eBay.

Looks in good shape.

Looks solid. It’s supposed to have a PTO, but I can’t tell if it is single or dual.

“1958 cj6 Willy’s Jeep Rebuilt 231 odd fire motor less than 1000 miles Rebuilt transmission and transfer case less than 100 miles Brand new drive shaft from inland trucks Electric fan Aluminum radiator New tires I do have a matching spare tire and wheel New seats—-etc Lots of parts thrown at this Jeep over the last few years These jeeps are like toys and are fun to work on but I wouldn’t hop in it and try and drive it to California I never drive it and kinda need the space in my shop so time to let this one go I do have a title and it’s registered antique for the road It’s a solid little Jeep and you don’t see very many cj6 out there Also this one has a pto as well I just don’t have the shaft”
The year is incorrect. This could be worth a look.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2. Super clean for comparisons I have seen. Pinto motor transplant. Original flat head and other parts included in pictures go with the sale of jeep. Selling for my best friends wife. He passed away 4 years ago and it sat since then. She is ready for someone to finish the final touches for parades or whatever fun it will bring. I put in new battery, tubes in 2 tires and new distributor, plugs, and a couple other odds and ends to get the lil beast breathing again. Jeep runs, drives, stops, 4wd works, winch works, it is street legal with title ready to transfer to you. Reasonable cash in hand offers will be saved for consideration later if not sold for asking price. Reminder there are extras including axles, transfer, transmission, and flat head motor.”
The body appears fairly solid.

I’ve spent parts of the last couple of days thinking through how/where the new cage will attach, how the floor should attach, and how the body should attach and where it should sit. For example, the body must be far enough forward so that the solid front clip can slip over the front of the radiator, but back far enough to sit in the right area in the back.
My initial intention was to bolt the cage fo the frame, but this frame (already cut and spread 5″) has enough mods that if I’m at a point that the cage has to be removed to make changes, I’m better off starting with a new frame (and, at this point, I don’t want to do a ground up rebuild).
Additionally, the body has warped some, so I will need to build a jig out of wood so that I can try to straighten the body some (apparently, using a heat gun, I should be able to remove some of the warping. What I can’t re-straighten, I will use fiberglass and/or some (probably) aluminum plates placed strategically to make it look straighter.
Here’s a couple pics of the body. You may not be able to tell, but both sides of the front of the body have flexed outward. So, between the heat gun, the jig, some interior plating, and the use of strategic mounts, I should be able to make it look a little less out of whack.
Over the next week we are supposed to have (finally) dry weather and temps that will be in the high 40s and low 50s, so I hope to get the cage built and, maybe, the body cleaned up to ready for some fiberglass repair and, eventually, some paint.
Though I dislike the neon green chassis, Ann has acquired a taste for it, so I might start with the body painted black, similar to the narrow body that was on it.
Craig shared this page (I think on FB), It’s as good of an explanation of Corgi FC-150 models as I have seen.

I missed out on this rare Australian Jeep Truck brochure (totally spaced the auction). I can see no date or form number on any pages. My guess is that this was published in 1957 or 58.
The description from th auction reads, in part:
“WILLYS 4WD 6 CYL. ALL-PURPOSE MODEL 6-226
GOOD CONDITION OVERALL. CLEAN,GOOD COLOR AND GRAPHICS. SLIGHT WEAR FROM AGE AND STORAGE.

This looks like a nice Jeepster.

“1948 Willys CJ2A for sale. It was restored in the late 1980’s by my father. It has an olive drab paint finish, as well as olive drab canvas upholstery on the seat cushions and backs. My father converted the electrical system from 6 volt to 8 volt. The body tub is custom fabricated from steel. The grill and fenders are original. The hood, windshield frame, and tailgate are all original with the embossed Willy’s name. After the restoration, it was only driven in local parades, car shows and local events. We have stored the jeep under a cloth cover, inside a building since my father passed in 2004. We have recently replaced sparkplugs, points, condenser, fan belt, and battery. The fuel tank has been professionally cleaned and is in excellent condition. The carburetor has been rebuilt. It has fresh oil and coolant. The vehicle comes with a Service Manual from “Original Reproductions” New Beach, CA”
Someone ought to be able to use this.
