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 .

You can view the build thread here: http://www.knoxoffroad.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5031 (you have to scroll down within the thread). Needs finishing.
“I’m not hurting on this at all! With us looking to buy a a home this year and financial progress on hold until that is done, I am considering selling the willys hot rod for the $4200 I have in it. That’s as a roller with good motor/ trans, but still needing nickel and dime parts. I’ll finish it if I don’t sell it once we have our own place but it’s money that could be used else where for now. It does not run or drive right now, still needs finishing. Brakes, cooling system, plumbed, rear coil overs or airbags, paint, steering work, paneling to cover rear… Hopefully this will weed out some of the tire kickers and “serious buyers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It’s a running project that might have some value.
“for sale 1951 willys wagon has a 152 cubic inch international motor that runs. project vehicle $1500 may consider trade for hunting equipment of equal value”

This is not in the best of condition, but it is unusual.
“Up for auction is a brightly patterned tropical shirt featuring images of Jeeps, vans, trucks and woody wagons. There are palm trees, surfboards and smiling dogs also featured. The shirt is used and made of 100% cotton, so it is faded from washing and may have shrunk even though the tag says Size Large. It has short sleeves and a polo-shirt like button-up front opening. This shirt will look equally good worn by a man or a woman. ”
No pics provided. This ad was posted at the MVPA’s classified site.
“One of 1500 experimental vehicles authorized by the U.S. government, and built by Ford Motor Co in early 1941, prior to our involvement in WWII, when Bantam BRC and Willys MA also competed for the contract, eventually awarded to Willys, who built hundreds of thousands of the standardized ¼ ton 4×4 military jeeps. Restored to its current condition in 1994. Runs beautifully. Stored in Cecil, WI, asking; $8,900.”

“You are bidding on a very original 1952 Willys Jeep CJ3A. This little ranch jeep has been in the same family over 50 years. It is very complete, original, and does run, drive, and stop. It also has a clear title.
This jeep has been in indoor storage for a number of years and just recently has been tuned up. The jeep received a new battery, plugs, soft carburetor rebuild and adjustment, fluids, and fuel system flush. The brakes were also gone through and the master cylinder rebuilt. The jeep comes with the newer tires shown on the jeep as well as a full set of 5 originals.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
This jeep has rhino liner on the interior and exterior.
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A in good shape. Original 4 cylinder flat head engine. I have had the body sandblasted, inside and outside…then sprayed with Rhino Bedliner, then painted. I have the windshield and various other parts. I have owned this jeep for 45 years. I can answer all of your questions on the history of the jeep. I do not “have to” sell the jeep. I think it is worth the $6500 I am asking for it. Thanks for looking.”
I’ll provide some more information on the 1944 Willys Overland Annual Report that I’ve scanned, but I don’t have time tonight. Instead, here’s some fun reading from the report. I’ve combined two of the pages into one image. This comes from an anonymous donor kind enough to share this (and other) documents so I can scan and share them with you.
This BRC-40 is getting a bath. This postcard has a tear.
