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 .
Ian these photos in an online issue of the Town and Country Magazine:
I particular love this first photo from 1955 of the CJ-3A towing the boarders.

UPDATE: Chris has begun working on his veep project. You can follow his progress at this VW related site: http://fundubs.com/SimpleMachinesForum/index.php?topic=2848.0
Chris just picked up this VEEP project that’s missing a few items. He’s hoping to locate the 50 page installation manual that Hadley Engineering published. I’m not familiar with that particular manual, but if someone has one that can help out Chris, that would be great!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,200.
Looks nice, though missing a few original details.

UPDATE: Was $4000. **Status Unknown**
It doesn’t run.
Just 1,519 Jeep FC’s 170’s were built in this configuration in 1958. This is a very original truck down to the Montgomery Ward’s brand tires that have been holding air continuously for the 20 years this truck has been in the family. The only non-original feature is that it has been converted to 12volt, but 6 volt components are included to convert it back. It has been stored in doors since 1994. We have had it running some years ago and the engine is not stuck. But… it is one of those projects that we just haven’t found the time for and it deserves to be passed on to someone that will fix her up and show off this rare, collectible truck. It does have some rust, but it is vey repairable and the windshield IS NOT cracked.”
UPDATE: Was $1500. **SOLD**
It’s got rear hubs and the squares on the windshield. It should be a column shift, too.

“1945 Willys Jeep title status : clean
CJ2A body. Bought new a few years ago but never used. Garage kept and never been in the rain.
I did paint the underside and drilled the holes to mount to frame.
The bed has couple dents from the motor being stored on it. Could be easily fixed. Will need to be blasted / sanded before applying new paint. The factory primer did not adhere well and is chipping off. From what I understand this is still an issue with all aftermarket body’s. Body has zero rust.
If you have rusted out or beat up body this is a quick and easy fix. These body’s cost $2400-$2500 plus delivery from the suppliers.”
It’s a project.
