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 .
Here’s another militarized civvy jeep from Brigantine Beach. Lots of information about it on eBay.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
This looks solid.
“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A. This vehicle was done as a frame-off rebuild. Runs well and drives well. This was not a complete restoration. This vehicle was done to be driven for fun, rather than to be a show piece. That being said, here is a brief list of the work that was done:
Frame and body cleaned prepped and painted.
New headlights and tailights
New gauges
New seats
New front floor pans
New brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders, lines, front drums, shoes, and springs.
New front wheel bearings
New air cleaner
New plugs and wires,
Etc..
This jeep is great to just cruise around, or would be a great candidate for a complete restoration.
Asking 6,000 OBO”

It’s a project.
“1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B. Great Project Vehicle. I cannot complete because of my work schedule. The pictures are of the day I brought it home. Since then I have removed
the Koenig metal top, hood, windshield, fenders, radiator and grille. I have the stock engine on an engine stand. The engine was running when removed from another Jeep. The transmission, transfer case and axles are still mounted. The Body pan is pretty solid, with some surface rust and floor pan repairs needed. The Meters and heater equipment I have stored in my garage. I have a 12volt alternator and Original oil bath type air filter. I have purchased replacement right hand lug studs and nuts to replace the left hand original and old right hand ones. I also have some new replacement brake parts. The metal doors to match the top are not in the photos but I have them.
I am interested in selling the whole package but would entertain other offers. Would like to get $1500.00 cash for the whole package but will consider cash plus shooting sports equipment. Make me an offer. Email me and I will respond. Thanks!”

Some better pics would help with this jeep. It might be worth a look.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A, Jeep was running when I put it in the garage. I started the tear down process, so it is in a dismantled sate right now but a good start for someone to take over. I ran out of resources to complete. All original parts are still present. This would be a great project and very little body work is required. I am open for serious offers so get a hold of me and see if we can come to an agreement.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.

Our seven week journey was the most memorable trip I’ve ever taken. There were so many unexpected opportunities only made possible by all the wonderful people we met along the way. We appreciate everyone’s patience with our ever changing schedule as folks contacted us and said “if you are near, come visit!” We tried to meet as many people as possible, but at times the timing just didn’t work out.
Here are some stats from the trip:
1) We drove over 10,043 Miles
2) Trip lasted 49 days
3) We passed through 27 States (It would have only been 26 states, but Ann accidently drove into Colorado, before I looked up from my computer to see we were going the wrong way . . . lol)
4) We saw all 5 Great Lakes
5) We had 0 car problems!
6) Number of tickets . . . 0 (warnings 0)
7) Total cost of trip (unknown at this point, but would have been higher without all the generous jeepers)
8) Amount of debt from trip — $0. We don’t use credit cards.
9) Number of museums visited: 20
10) Number of National Parks: 4
11) Number of fights between Ann and I: Zero
12) Total amount of fun we had: incalculable!

This appears solid and early. This should be #13337 VEC CJ-2A.

Wish we could see more of the jeep. The Jockey Ridge Sand Dunes show here are the tallest sand dune system in the Eastern US. This area is now Jockey Ridge State Park. I’m guessin that driving over the sand dunes like the jeep below isn’t possible anymore?
