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 .

“runs great. lots of work done. new break system, new suspension, new electrical, all seals replaced, new tires, etc.”
There’s some value here.
“This 1950 Willys Wagon is a great candidate for a restoration or project, and few improvements have already been made. It has a Buick 215 cubic inch V6 backed by a turbo 350 transmission, and a Mustang 2 type suspensionand rack and pinion steering up front. The Wagon has a clear title, and comes complete except for the front and mid side windows, and steering column. The body is in great condition considering its a 1950 model year.
The Willys is for sale locally, and if sold locally we reserve the right to end the auction.”

This has a military tank, but I suspect it isn’t original.
“No paperwork so sold as parts vehicle. Mod. CJ3-B S/N 453GB2 2381X. Not running comes with extra F head motor has drive train.

“This is a 1952 CJ3A project jeep.

It has a roll bar, and electronic Mallory ignition to eliminate points, high volume aluminum water pump, new master brake cylinder, new electric fuel pump and good tires.

Here’s a Tonka Fire Jeep that appears to be in great shape.
“This is a terrific Jeep Fire Truck in excellent condition. It has the original tires (white walls) and hub caps, nozzle on hose, red light on hood, head lights, red ladder, two fire extinguishers on rear bumper and Tonka decal on both sides. Interrior is perfect with original steering wheel. There are a few minor scratches on the ladder but otherwise there is very little, if any, show of ware. No box. This is from a collection of Tonka Trucks that were used for display.”

This seems like an oddity. A rubber stamp inkpad with a Jeep logo added. Maybe this should have a “Jeep” Stamp, too?
“Vintage Jeep Tampon Pour Timbres Caoutchouc Inkpad, With Tin
Tampon Pour Timbres Caoutchouc translates as “Buffer for rubber stamps,” pour encrer du reencrer votre tampon as “to ink your stamp of reencrer” and l’encre ideale dans le flacon parfait as “the ink bottle in the ideal perfect.”
J. Herbin was established in 1670, when Louis XIV, the Sun King, was 32 years old. M. Herbin was a sailor, and from his many journeys to India he brought back to Paris formulas for manufacturing sealing wax.
His special lacquer formula improved the quality of the seals in adhesion and neatness, helping him to become famous throughout the kingdom.
J. Herbin is also the oldest name in ink production in the world. By 1700, the company was producing “l’Encre de la Tete Noire,” followed by “Perle des Encres,” (The Jewel of Inks) and “l’Encre des Vaisseaux” (The Ink of Ships).
J. Herbin made ink for Louis XIV, and a black ink for the sole use of Victor Hugo, author of the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Miserables. these formulas still reside in their company headquarters in Paris.”
In good condition with some wear {tattered edges} and soiling. Measures 4 1/2 by 3 inches. Weighs 3 ozs.”

This runs and drives. It also has a m-38 body.
“Hey there , I’m selling my CJ-2A Project Jeep that i’m probably never going to get around to doing. It’s a ’46 , pretty much all original running gear (Flat head 4cyl., T90, model 18, etc.) It runs and drives but definately needs some work. It has been converted to 12Volt so it turns over nicely but it does need to have a basic ignition switch installed and lights , etc. The body isn’t bad for an old Willys, it does have it’s share of small dings and dents along with the standard issue Bondo but not much rust at all so it’s fairly solid. 4X4 works good and it does have some really decent old style 7.00 x 16 traction tires on it. I have a clear Washington title for it. Asking $950.00 Please call , email or text if you have any questions. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500.

(09/17/2012) The engine runs, but the jeep needs help. I’m gonna guess that the roll bar is just sitting that way and not actually mounted that way.
