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 .
Does the underside of that top someone connect to the windshield? It’s not clear to me how it attaches.
“Jeep is in good condition; engine was rebuilt a few years back and runs strong, clutch and drive train have been gone though and there are no leaks. Body was worked on by the previous owner and looks good. Frame is in good condition.
If you have any questions ask and I will answer them.

These poor jeeps have been sitting a while. In the rear cargo area of the jeep with wheels it looks like there might be some type of PTO or draw bar attachment. The jeep without wheels has a rear PTO.
“I have two Willys jeeps for sale . The jeep that has the motor and transmission parts scattered inside is a 1948 the other is a 1946 and has a title. The 48 also has a power takeoff attached ,the engagement lever and drive shaft seemed to be missing. The 46 jeep had the motor rebuilt the same year that I parking it, approximately 12 years ago. The transmission and motor both ran very well . The wiring burned up after putting an eight volt battery in it and just never got around to rewire it. The buyer will be responsible for removal, I will be glad to help.”

UPDATE: A 1964 article in the Spokesman-Review highlights their speaking tour following the Indonesian trip.
Map of Frank and Helen Schreider’s Indonesian Adventure during 1961.
In 1954, Helen and Frank Schreider drove a Ford GPA (amphibious jeep) named Tortuga from the Arctic Circle to the southern most town in South America, Ushuaia, Argentina. They published a book about their adventure called 20,000 Miles South: A Pan-American Adventure in a Seagoing Jeep from the Arctic Circle. It was a book I enjoyed.
In 1960, Helen and Frank began a new adventure in India. For unknown reasons, Tortuga was replaced by the Tortuga II (Amphibious Vehicle website has a great comparison information between Tortuga I and Tortuga II). Perhaps the original Tortuga was too damaged to undertake another long trek. The goal of their Indian adventure was to explore the Ganges river plain and write an article for National Geographic (which appeared in the October 1960 issue). I have the article, but have yet to read it.
In 1961, following their India adventure, the pair undertook an even longer expedition. They wanted to explore Indonesia’s Lesser Sundas, a chain of islands stretching 3000 miles from Bali to Timor. Their adventure filled two large articles for National Geographic (Indonesia: Young and Troubled Nation in the May 1961 issue and East from Bali by Seagoing Jeep in the August 1962 issue
). They also published a book in 1963 called the Drums of Tonkin: An Adventure in Indonesia
.
Both the National Geographic articles about Indonesia and their Drums of Tonkin book are dense with cultural references and photographs. Unfortunately, both the articles and the book over-burdened me with local references to such a degree that for me the story was less compelling than their 20,000 Miles book. This likely reflects a larger emphasis on anthropology, geography, and biology, a result of their funding by National Geographic.
Despite the compelling prose, there were plenty of photographs to enjoy. Here’s just a few. This first one is pretty self-explanatory.
According to the New York Times obituary for Frank, who died in 1994 in Crete, the couple joined National Geographic in 1967 and continued to have additional adventures by vehicle, foot and boat. However, there is no record that they ever traveled by GPA.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
Unclear how serious seller is. Jeep looks good.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
Only pics of the CJ-2A are shown.
“1) A nice solid completed 1946 cj-2a with a fresh professionally rebuilt dauntless Buick v 6, and it has power steering. Makes it extra easy to drive with plenty of power. Been my daily driver past couple years. $8500.00
2) This one is the best deal I think you will find, for a 1951 jeep, this one is in all parts and pieces, has a bare (looks new) very nice clean frame with the machine gun mount. Frame has been blasted and primed comes with a rusted (ruff) body that has the original ID tags to get it titled. Has leaf springs with stock axle, but does not have a paper title at this time, lost. But you should be able to get a Wisconsin title because it was last titled in Wisconsin. I have done that with a couple other autos that I had bought and restored, not that big of a deal (simple) and I can tell you how, if you don’t know or have never done it.
$1200.00 (price includes engine and trans)
3) 1951 with the original frame that is mostly complete and original with rust (no rust holes seen) but nice. It has newer wider, higher geared axles, has no body but does have the paper title.
$2400.00 (price includes the engine and trans)
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Unclear if it runs?

“I bought this old Jeep a while back and was never able to get the title to it so I’m moving on. It is a pretty solid old Willys with original drivetrain in it. Not running but not locked up either. Original gas tank is missing and looks like it was running on a boat gas tank sitting in the rear of the Jeep. It has a vehicle ID number and Jefferson City has no record of it on file.
I paid $1200 and that’s what I need to get, no less.”
