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 .
This is a project.

sI’m not sure what a “Jeep Master” is? The seller has some history on this jeep’s travel to Japan and back.
“For sale is 1942 Jeep Master. Given that it was built in 1942; it is an army Jeep. Jeep was manufactured by Willy’s overland motor company. Truck is a 3/4 ton with improved F-head engine (still have original engine and will be included with price) with 16, 171 miles although an estimated 90k miles are on the body. Truck is 4WD with a floating axle. Great story on this car. Traveled to Japan where it had its transfer case replaced in 1952. (have receipts) From there it rested at a boy scout camp in Arizona. After this a friend purchased in in 1960 and sold to me in 1968 where I have owned it since. Truck runs well but needs a restoration man to achieve her full potential. Asking $9,450. Willing to hear offers. Delivery possible”

(02/15/2013) Walter forwarded this CJ-2A. The seller says he has the arctic top, but it isn’t attached. I’m wondering if the pics are prior to the work that was done. It doesn’t have a title.
“I have a early 40s Willys Jeep, 4 cylinder runs good, looks to be rebuilt before I got it, 4 wheel works, body rusty but pretty solid, has anew gas tank, I think its a M38 Military type. All have been rewired and work. Also have the Artic Hard Top with it but its not attached. I have not driven it on the road but have driven it in the woods and it done well,”

Suddenly, a Baby Ruth bar is sounding good!

This ad for preformed wire rope doesn’t seem to be sponsored by a particular company (unless I’m missing something?)
“11,000 Jeeps could be made from steel conserved by Performed Wire Rope…
Specifications
Ad is about 7.75 x 11 inches
Condition Note
It’s rather difficult to get the color and the contrast of the original in a scan AND preserve any flaws, which tend to get muted, so this text will describe flaws, if any.
The ad is in good condition. This ad has been carefully removed from an original period magazine. Auctioned as is.”
