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 .
Anyone ever seen one of these in person? I found this in a 1957 Ramsey brochure I bought.
This photo was formerly on eBay and shows a couple of drivers from Yakima Ridge Runners jeep club racing across the desert.

Steve pointed out this engineering report from Willys Overland.
“original SAE engineering report , 8.5 x 11 , 12 pages , last two pages are torn with small piece of paper missing at edge , this report was presented by Willys Overland in January 1946 and describes light cars in the US and compares various light cars . The Jeep was not mentioned but it was the only “light car” being produced by Willys Overland at this time .”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
It appears solid. I’m wondering which data plates those are on the dash. The aren’t from a ’47. Maybe repros without a number.
“Need to sell ASAP! Restored 8 years ago. You will get the looks driving this down the road!! Email with questions. does not come with military gear shown in pictures”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
This might be worth a look if you are planning on a custom truck.
“1955 Willys Truck Body Only, restoration incomplete, hood, fenders, doors, front grill, cab changed (reinforced support) as convertible hard top, new sheet metal for truck bed, original ‘W’ tailgate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This is a project.
“I have a non running 1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep for sale. It hasn’t ran in 15 or more years, but ran when parked. Motor will turn over by hand. Body is in pretty good condition for it’s age. Also have an extra Willys hood, 5 steel original wheels that appear to be in pretty good condition. Jeep still has original glass parking light lenses and other original parts, windshield frame appears to be in good condition with the exception of moderate rust at bottom of glass, glass is cracked. It’s been sitting outside and is full of leaves. 2 spark plugs broke when I attempted to remove them (to spray oil in cylinders prior to turning motor over). I have not attempted to remove the plugs with anything, they might come out fine with some penetrating oil. Jeep will need work to get running again, but all parts are there and engine compartment is pretty clean. Will make a great deer lease ride. I took this Jeep in trade, but have realized that I will never get around to fixing it up. $1200 cash.
Apparently this has a fiberglass body. I haven’t run across many fiberglass CJ-6 bodies. No pics provided.
“1963 “Willys” Jeep Project – Chassis is completed (differentials all been rebuilt, new warn hubs, Disc brakes, painted etc.)
Also have PTO with the winch and an overdrive, (2 transmissions with transfer cases) plus an additional transfer case, 4.3 chevy engine (with advance adapters mounts) new tie rods, fiberglass body and full steel front end, this jeep is in pretty good shape, it just needs to be put back together. I am open to offers and possible trades. The reason I am getting rid of it is because I purchased a Toyota FJ-40 so I don’t need two off-road vehicles (and I prefer the Toyota). If interested drop me an email. Thanks!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2200.
(04/08/2013) This looks good. The dash looks earlier than 1956, yet this lacks the driver’s side gas filler.

The truck is complete, as the seller suggests, but it looks solid. Dan spotted this one.
