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 .
Well produced video from National Geographic with some great shots. The motor powering the ice jeep sure sounds great, too.

Don’t forget, the Moonshiner’s Swapmeet will be held on Sunday, March 9th in Puyallup, WA. It takes place 9am to 4pm. The good news is that there is a 10% chance it won’t rain on Sunday.
You can learn more at the Moonshiner’s website.

Vern’s got his beautiful 1949 Jeepster for sale. He’s only selling it because he found a 4WD Jeepster of a similar quality that he bought, so he doesn’t need this Jeepster any more. You can email Vern at heyvern1929 @ sbcglobal.net.

This is an ex-racer with lots of mods. It needs additional work.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2-A w/ turbo charged 3.8 Buick V-6 $2000 obo
* Stretched body
* Jeepster Commando frame (101″ wheelbase)
* 231 ci Buick even fire V-6 with factory turbocharger (from 1978 Buick LeSabre)
* Turbo 400 tranny mated to model 20 transfer case
* Power steering
* Rear mounted radiator
* Full 6 point frame mounted roll cage
* Full size running gear
* 5.38 gears
* B&M quick click shifter
* 1 piece fiberglass front end
I’ve probably forgotten a lot of stuff, but you get the drift. This is a Jeep that was used for years at local races running a Pinto motor. I broke the old tranny and opted to install the V-6 and automatic, but the local races kind of went away and I never finished it and it has sat in my shop for 10 plus years. This is not a street legal vehicle, although I suppose one could make it that way with work. It is not a turn key ride and definitely does need some work to complete. The motor smokes, but I believe that it is just the seals in the turbo causing this. It needs shock mounts welded, brakes redone, seat covers are looking ratty, shifter needs some adjustment, carb may have issue. . . and I’m sure there is more that I’m not thinking of. Would make a good base for a rock crawler, tough truck rig or just a toy to blow away your friends. I hate to get rid of it but need the space in my shop. Might be willing to deliver within the Treasure Valley.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.

It’s a project.
“I purchase a 1952 CJ3A Jeep that I have started rebuilding, but personnel issues have put me in a position that I really need to sell it. This Jeep has had work done to it long before I got it, so it is not in it’s original condition. The engine is a F-134 not an L-134 and the transmission is out of a 1953, so I assume that the engine and tranny are both out of a 1953. I drove the Jeep before I bought it, and then took the tub off to start reworking it. The engine runs great, it has close to 105 PSI on all 4 cylinders. I had the tranny and transfer case completely rebuilt by T&B Transmission. They put in all new parts, no cobbeling 2 old transmission together to make one work. I’ve put in new brakes all the way around, new shocks, all new brake lines, and rebuilt all the wheel cylinders and the master brake cylinder. I picked up a 2 inch brake conversion kit for it and a roll bar. What I’m asking is way below what I’ve got invested. I also have the shop manual and parts manual for it. If someone has a 4 wheeler that they would like to trade, I would consider that, even if I have to put some money with the Jeep for a good one, or I would take a good crossbow or maybe a firearm in trade for the Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
The back has been cut, but there’s still some value.
