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: **SOLD** Was $8000.

(08/27/2014) One runs and one doesn’t.
“I have two Willys CJ-2A flat fender jeeps for sale, a 1947 and a 1948. Both have PA titles in my name. The 1947 runs, drives and stops. The body is pretty rough, but complete. The floors have been replaced. There are rust holes in the tub and the top of the fenders. The frame appears solid. The brake system was replaced along with several other parts. It has good tires. The 1948 is complete, but does not run. The body is much cleaner than the 1947, mostly just surface rust, a few holes. The frame appears solid. The motor was seized and has since been disassembled. To get the motor out, I removed the hood, grill and fenders. All the parts were tagged and bagged. I have a spare motor, a set of gaskets and a new steel fuel tank. I am interested in selling one or both. I may consider parting them both out, as I expect they are worth more as parts than whole.”

“Willys MB for sale. Not sure of exact year but definately WWII. The body had a hardtop on it for much of its life so the floors are pretty decent. The sides and rear panel are straight. Front bumper is missing but more importantly the frame horns and gussets are intact which makes restoration much easier. Comes with tub, hood, fenders, grille, windshield, frame, both axles, wheels, a tires. What you see pictured. Restore this little warhorse to its former glory! WWII Jeeps in any condition fetch very high prices now and this one is an inexpensive starting point. We’ve all wanted one of these since we were twelve, so here’s your chance…won’t last long. Need to make room in my yard. Get it and relive a piece of WWII history.”

“This is a 1955 jeep willy for sale. It doesn’t run at the moment but it was driven to the spot it is currently parked about 5 years ago so I’m sure if you are a mechanic or are good with vehicles it wouldn’t take more than a couple days to get it running again. As you can see from the pictures this jeep needs plenty of work. Any Willy’s Jeep of this year is going to be a great classic to fix up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
