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 .

It doesn’t run, but looks interesting. Possibly a Navy jeep. The winch is great.
“Willys CJ3A Jeep, Flathead 4, 4WD, Mostly original, Been stored inside for the last 20 years, Has a hand cranked winch, original back seat, window frames, Not currently running but engine turns over. Still has the original 6 volt system. No rust damage, spare tire also.”

It appears to include all trimmings.
“Just what you always wanted! A 1946 vintage jeep, in Korean War Paint, just like MASH.
Original 4 cyl go-devil engine and transmission. Runs great, uses no oil. three-speed, two and four wheel drive with high and low ranges.
I mounted a mock 30 cal browning machine gun and a mock-up BAR. Great for photo-ops. Has both traditional jeep beep-beep horn and Ugha horns. Plate is an original 1946, registered as a historic vehicle for on the road use”
It includes a bunch of trannys and tcs.
“I have a Ford GPW that needs a good home. It just passed its 70th birthday. Engine, transfer case and transmission were pulled, fresh work done on the engine. This Jeep was never modified or cut up. It still has blackout lights and combat rims, 95% plus of the parts to put it back into original war configuration. A good title. It has some rust, less than most of the old Jeeps, and the tub is amazingly straight. It needs someone who is willing to strip her and put her back in olive drab.
It has the steering assembly, seats, windsheild assembly and so much more. It will come with a lot of extra parts, good for trading stock or sell to finance the restoration- 14 transfer cases, six transmissions, 2 differential housings, new replacement steel for the back panel and the gas tank area. There is a room full of parts to reassemble and a pallet of transmission/transfer cases.
I bought this in a fit of passion, disregarding that I really don’t have the area to restore. Cash is preferred, though something interesting in trade could work. I’ve always liked the fast old cars, not just the 2 corvettes I have today.
This could be so much more than just a parade vehicle, parts are available and cheap, and it is scary how much these are worth fixed up. Email me or give a call, 541-271-1597”

“This is a 1950 CJ3A that I got for parts on a project. The tub is in poor shape. The frame looks to be in good shape with no holes or deep pitting. This was used as a farm vehicle by the previous owner. The engine has not been started in about 1-2 years. I have not had it started since I got it last year so I can not confirm the condition of the engine. The rear axle was taken out to be rebuilt. It is not currently on the Willys but It is included with the sale. I have several additional parts included with the vehicle;
1. Metal half hard top and doors that cover the front operator and passenger
2. Frame work and hardware for a soft top. ( canvas not with the kit )
3. Windshield Frame ( no glass )
4. 2- small spout gas tanks
5. 1- large spout gas tank
6. 2- Head light housings and bezels.
7. 1- Jeep valve cover
8. Padding for rear seat ( fair- poor condition)
9. 1- Oil pan with skid plate
In no way is this vehicle road worthy or turn key. Like I said before I got this for parts on a project that I can’t complete now due to injury. If you have a project that needs a frame or parts than this is for you. There is no title or bill of sale with this purchase. Also please don’t ask me to break up the parts. This is a package sale.
Thanks for looking.If you have questions please contact me 973-570-7117”
