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 .

Here’s a Bantam photo that I’ve never seen on the web.

Mike’s got this truck project for sale.
“For sale or trade, 1961/62 Willys truck on a 1991 S10 chassis and running gear. The project is about 1/2 done. Frame work is done, cab is mounted, I don’t have a box but I do have rear fenders, tailgate, an S10 truck floor and stake pockets to build a box. The running gear is all stock S10, 2.8 V6 with a 5 speed, I ran all new brake lines, new fuel lines, new tie rod ends, new front and rear brakes, new shocks on front. Cab corners are patched, I used the original S10 cab floor and firewall and fit it to the Willys cab.
Needs front and rear glass and seals, and cowl patch panels. Lots of potential for a really reliable but cool looking vintage truck. All the mechanical stuff you can get from NAPA.
I would be open to trading for a vintage VW Beetle, project or running.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(08/19/2014) Is that a patch or a smal door on the driver’s side rear quarter panel?

“This jeep is a 1947 Willys CJ2A. It is in very good condition. It still has the original 3 speed manual transmission in it but the motor is a ford straight six. It had been sitting for over a year until recently cause it had a lot of rust in the fuel tank and I didn’t want to drive it like that. I removed the fuel tank and put a temporary tank out of my 4 wheeler to get it running. It will need a new fuel tank which is around $150.00 also the carburetor could use a tune up and the brakes are original and they could use a little work. Last week I out a new fuel line, fuel filter, water pump, thermostat, changed the oil and filter, and flush the radiator with new coolant. I bought it to take in parades and hit some trails with the kids but just haven’t had the time. I absolutely hate to see it go but i would like to have a newer jeep to get back and forth to work. If you got any questions or would like to take a look at it let me know. I am asking $5,500 or would be willing to trade for a newer jeep.”
