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 $1500
(12/29/2013) It’s a project.
“THE STEEL TOP AND TOW BAR DO NOT GO !
I have a CJ-3b that my son started restoring. It is all there except the fuel tank was bad. The wires are all in the buckets and chassis was running and driving when the body was taken off about a year ago. The tub had some rust so we got another one that is mostly rust free. This is a great one to restore I just have too many projects.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(12/14/2013) Does not include drive train.

If I’d only known . . . Apparently Ceclia Gomez operates a popcorn and cotton candy stand out of a pink DJ-5 near Sunset Park in Brooklyn (near 5th Avenue and 50th Street). My wife says that is a must stop on our next trip to New York!

Colin dropped by the 2014 Barrett Jackson auction and filed the following report.
“Went to Barrett-Jackson today with fellow Jeepster and DJ3A owner Jim Sullivan and saw several Willys vehicles that I thought would be of interest. I have attached several photos with a short explanation of each.
1961 FC 150 done in Coca Cola style, might have been on eWillys a week or so ago? (ed note — this FC-Coca Cola is similar, but not the same.)
A rat rod Willys wagon about a 1950-52 model (here are more pics):
A nice 50-51 Willys truck
John recently posted some detail photos of jeeps froma visit to a Wings and Wheels Fly-In at Poplar Grove, Illinois in 2008. It is mostly Jeep detail photos for restoration reference. He hopes the photos will benefit some folks.
Marc spotted this interesting photo. A British Armoured Division is shown waiting for additional signals near Pyingyaing (near Kalewa, Burma).

And you thought putting chains on a vehicle during the winter is a hassle? The GIs are finishing wrapping up this jeep for a float across the river at Fort Benning, Georgia. Note that this is a Prototype Jeep. Based on the handles on the driver’s side, the seats and the grille (that is just peeking out), can you guess which one?
“This is an original press photo. At Fort Benning, Georgia.Photo measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 07-15-1941.”

This is a collection of three photos. I’ve blown up two of them. That’s one big welding unit to be dragging around the desert.
I don’t remember seeing either of these brochures. Maybe I have? I wonder what the other sides look like. Both are reasonably priced, too.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was eBay.
This runs and drives. There’s some value here.
“As you can see from the pictures this a 1948 Willys CJ2a. It is in need for a total restoration even though I have used it “as is” for 7 yrs. running it around the Chino airport.
The jeep starts right up every time.
It has been converted to 12 VOLT, thus the charging system works very well.
Has a heater not hooked up, people tell me they are rare?
Shift into all gears, grinds if you go to fast.
The brakes are stiff (not strong), it may just be the linkage or pads, not sure but they should be redone.
The steering is hard to turn? In the pictures you can see it comes with the 3 tie rod ends and the steering link end so that you can renew the steering arms. The shafts probably need grease and or rebuild?
Tires are old, cracked, and warn but they almost never need air.
The body has rust in the corners and some places on the floor have been replaced but seems to be attached well and strong.
Windows have cracks, body has dents
Comes with two pneumatic wiper motors that I was told were NOS.
There are many parts in the pictures that go with the Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $2500.
(09/05/2013) This might be a rare CJ-2L, which is a CJ-2A that was stretched by someone in California. Examples of CJ-2Ls. Learn more about the CJ-2L here.
