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 .

Wayne spotted this bed extender.
“For Sale an original Koenig Tub Extender for sale. If you’ve ever seen one before, you’re squarely in the minority. You take the tailgate off your CJ 5, plug this piece in its place, then put your tailgate at the end of your tub extender and viola…2 more feet of cargo space. Pictures are as it is. It’s a very simple restoration to match with your classic. Email with any questions or interests! Would like gone asap!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200

Over the holidays I discovered several volumes of a book titled “Pictoral History of the Second World War”. Here’s an example of one of them at archive.org. The series is full of amazing photos, including some vintage jeeps photos. Most of the photos were taken by various news services. I’ll be sharing these on occasion. Here are a couple:
Might be worth a look.

“1962 Jeep Willy’s Wagon with L6-226 Hurricane. Body is in good condition with only some minor paint damage wear on the roof, hood and front fender and some damage (dent that runs nearly across the width of the roof) -pictures of both included. Mechanically, the wagon is in good shape.
This Jeep has been garaged for the past 9 years or so and up until last year, was driven a few times per year on sunny Seattle days. It ran until about 3 months ago when the starter, starter solenoid or battery need work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
This looks pretty original. This hasn’t been fired up by the owner. It has no title.

It runs and drives. It appears to me to be a wagoneer turned truck.

There might be some value here.
“I have a 1974 Jeep CJ-6, 304 v8, 3-speed. It looks like a cj-5 but it has the long bed like a cj-8 scrambler.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
Hard to tell how much value is here.
“47 willys CJ-2a. No title, will provide bill of sale, all vin tags intact. Overhead f-134 engine, t-90, dana 18 twin stick transfer case. Was complete until I took off some hoses and generator and starter for another project. I do not know if it would run. Before I took off some parts I did check and it had compression. Motor spins freely, trans and transfer case shift smooth. Has 5:38 gears. Body is very rough, seats are just sitting in the jeep and are not original and torn. 5 matching older tires nylon 10 x 16.5. Front frame horns have usual ugly gusset ing. I would keep and look for another body or for parts but space is limited. $600 firm.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000
(10/29/2013) This modified flattie has a Bobcat fiberglass body. I don’t see too many with the branded tailgate.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900
(05/16/2013) I think by 3 speed overdrive the seller means high range?
“Flat fender. WWII square split windshield. Military insignia. Mostly original with higher power CJ3b Hurricane engine (F-head, intake valves in head, 53-71) and air scoop. 12V electrical. Desirable 3-speed Overdrive for freeway driving. Hi-Lo transfer case. 2 or 4WD. Always stored inside.
All new parts and accessories. New 235×15 tires mounted on off-road wheels. New front seats. Rear buddy seat. 2 canvas tops and back curtain. Everything works, including heater & fan! Simple and reliable. Starts every time without choke. Runs great! Economical! Fun and cool to drive!
You can get a Wrangler for the money, or you can own a piece of history and show off your personality with this! 125k documented miles. Current registration. It has already lasted longer than most people! May take a trade with at least $3000 in cash. Serious only please. (No reply to software generated “Is it still available” to get address for spams.)”
Dan spotted this Flickr thread that shows old photos from the Hemet Jeep Club. There are also multiple photos of a great looking CJ-5 with an unusual bumper setup. You might remember these great LIfe Magazine photos from a 1949 Hemet Jeep Club Anza Calvacade.
Here is a link to view the old photos Dan found (you have to browse between the photos to see all the old jeep pics). I’ve copied a few of the photos to share below:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
One jeep is listed as a 1946, but obviously, it’s a M-38. The other two appear to be CJ-2As.
“1946 Willys jeep.The guy I got it from had owned it for 25 years and it had been running.He had replaced the shocks with new monroe and had tuned up and then it has sat since and has been stored out of the weather since I have owned it about 4 years.Also I have 2 parts jeeps both 1948 and they have no titles as they were in the jeeps but were totally unreadable.Also have extra parts as in the pictures. Can store as long as needed if they are paid for.Auction is for the 1946 Jeep and any and all parts wanted. There is an extra aluminum cab with doors in great shape,extra wheels and tires,the parts jeeps do have engines and transmissions and are mostly complete.The 1946 is really in good condition and amazingly rust free and has the hood cut out as with military and has indents for the shovel and axe.All sold as is where is.Thanks and good luck.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

Lots of stock M-38A1 here. Might be worth a look.

This is likely a mix of parts.
