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 $7500.

Listed as a “1944”, seller says this is “all original” (spoiler alert, it’s not). It has some Watson Hubs. The body and cage looks like they have suffered through the heat of a fire.

The May 1951 issue of Motor Trend captured the 3rd Annual DeAnza Trail Jeep Cavalcade. The author, Ernest Reshovsky, titled the article “Jeep Gymkhana”, possibly attempting to reference timed automobile or equestrian contents designed to test driving skill, though to my knowledge the Cavalcade was not a timed event.
This is a mix of parts, but looks in good shape.

Runs, seems worth a look.

“Starts and runs but has not been driven in years. We do not have a pink slip.”
Interesting truck Jeep/rod build.

“Up for grabs is my 1956 Jeep Willy. This beast is powered by a Detroit 4-53T also known as a “Screaming Jimmy” it’s a turbo’d and supercharged inline 4 two stroke paired with a beefy 4 speed manual transmission. Perfect for towing around other hot rods or rat rods. Truck is on 37’ tires and sits on a reinforced C10 truck frame with absolutely zero rust. This is a rat truck, it has no AC, it’s loud and rolls coal in every gear. Truck is a manual and requires someone who knows how to drive, however the tranny is solid and clutch is really forgiving. This isn’t a rust bucket, it’s a tasteful rat truck that you can hop in and drive across country with zero doubts. Most reliable rat I’ve ever owned and it’s never left me stranded. Fires up first start and will tow on the hottest day of the year with zero problems. If you’ve read this fair go ahead and shoot me a message, I can talk about this thing all day. Open for trades (I like cool stuff) but cash is king.”
This appears to be a mix of MB and CJ-2A parts.

(11/28/2023) It’s a CJ-3B frame, 2A body project.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1328635957790830
“1946 CJ2A project. CJ3B Frame is in amazing shape, CJ2A body has plenty of rough spots, but still pretty solid.

The 12v battery is not included. $2,750”

UPDATE II: There’s no date on this rare 6×6 Super Jeep postcard that I just picked up from eBay. I imagine this was published around 1942 or 43. It looks like the postcard was based on this press photo at the bottom of this post.
=====================================
Originally poste on February 13, 2014:
Craig spotted this rare photo. It shows a Ford GP 6×6, which also appears to be called a Ford GP T14 37mm. I’m not clear on how many were made, but this one (or something very similar) can be seen here: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_465000-Ford-GP-T14-37mm-GMC-1941.html
Starting bid is $10. I’ve not listed another one of these, so I suspect they aren’t too common.

“This is a vintage Wooden Nickel.
It’s from the Toledo Coin Club, Ohio.
1935-1960 Silver Anniversary
On the back is an advertisement for ‘Willys Motors, Inc’
Shows a topless Jeep in the center with ‘Beware of Imitations’ and ‘JEEP Universal’
It’s a real wood ‘coin’ .
It shows some color variation, either due to light staining or just the natural variations in the wood. (see photos)”
There are two photos of this FC from a 1959 show in Australia. Both are 8×10 photos.
This (probably) rare matchbook comes from Porto Elegre in southern Brazil. It’s priced at $39, but seller is willing to consider offers.
