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 article from the July 1947 issue of WO Sales News describes Willys Overland’s launch of the 4WD Truck.
Charles shared this vintage card. The translation is “the war bride”.
It’s a bad day when you get knocked from your jeep then have to chase it a couple blocks.
“This is an original press photo. Pvt Wayne Gingery, Army Jeep driver sits besides his steed after catching up with it after it collided with another jeep in Chicago, Ill.Photo measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 06-11-1946.”

This story is interesting. Larson was involved in starting a jeep club in the mid 1960s. Apparently, manufacturers threatened to cut off warranties for any vehicles that entered a club. I’d never heard that.

This militarized CJ-3A looks solid.
“I am offering up for sale my 1949 Willys CJ-3A Jeep. I have owned this Jeep since 1995 after searching for years for a solid flat-fender. It was originally a Fire Jeep from New Jersey where it was used for fighting brush fires. It had always been garaged and was rust free. It has 48,000 original miles. When I acquired it, the owner had painted over the original red paint with an amateur camo pattern, so I decided to do it up as an M38 in WW2 OD. It has always run like a swiss watch. Sheet metal is all original and it is still 6-volt. I installed lock-out hubs, but have the originals. It is a very early CJ-3A, as it has the Dana 41 rear axle, and the windshield is dated Dec. 48. If you are looking for a nice original solid flat-fender, this is it! This is no cobbled-up rust-bucket resurrection like most you see for sale. I have a spare transmission/transfer case and front & rear differentials from a 1952 M38A1, all excellent, which I will include. I dearly hate to part with this Jeep, but we are moving and I will not have storage for it. This is an outstanding early Jeep and a rare opportunity. The CJ-3A is the rarest early model Jeep with only about 100,000 ever made. I will not entertain any low-ball offers, so please don’t waste your time or mine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500 Right Hand Drive
Listed as a 1955, this is clearly 1972 or later. Runs and stops, but has some rust issues. It’s a rare right hand drive model.
“1955 Jeep CJ6 right hand drive. Solid Tennessee vehicle. Great winter project. 232 6cyl. Runs and stops. Rare long wheel base. Call Tim For more info. Mon thru Sat, days. Come check it out!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This has some updates.
“This is a rare 1974 cj6 JEEP. It has been in my family since new. It has a small block 304 with a three speed manual transmission. It has an 8 inch lift kit on it with 18 inch rims with 37 inch Toyo tires which are practically brand new they still have the nubs on them. The body is in OK shape there is little spots of rust, the interior needs work thanks to my cat. The seats will need to be reupholstered. it has racing seats with 4 point seatbelts for front an back seats. It has custom tail lights, and tailgate. most of the body lines have been smoothed out. I also installed newer differential to have disc brakes. I also have the original one’s too. ”
UPDATE: Was $6000. **SOLD**
