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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,500.
John shared this nice looking wagon.
“1963 Willys wagon Has had a lot of restoration work new interior new clutch New brakes rebuilt generator and starter too much to list Runs and drives excellent very unique vehicle would accept In part trade World War 2 Willy’s Jeep.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $19,000.
(11/25/2023) This looks in good shape, but needs a couple things.

“Nice 1957 Willys pickup. Needs tuneup and brakes need adjustment.”
Looks solid, but needs brakes addressed.

“1949 jeep Willys CJ-3A. Runs and drives, but does not stop. Needs brake work. ”
I believe this has a set of Huffman hubs, but the original toppers may have been replaced. It’s listed as a 1949, but the grille suggests an early year. That said, the hood and windshield aren’t original to the jeep, so the grille might not be either.

This has some unusual rims (or at least I don’t recognize them).

Listed as a 1945, it may have an early engine, but the rest doesn’t look VEC.

“1945 willys jeep cj2a. $4900. not running. No title. Minor rust, hard to find in this condition. Excellent restoration project.”
This appears to be a wagon with the back chopped and a canopy added to it. Thanks to John for spotting this oddity. Listed as a ’46, given the grill and speedometer, I’d guess this is a late ’56.

“1946 Willys jeep wagon/truck Super hurricane 6cyl 3 speed trans 2 shifter transfer case Needs tow”

This September 1962 eight-page issue of Jeep News begins with Lloyd Bridges. He headlined a half-hour show called “Kaiser Presents The Lloyd Bridges Show”; not exactly a catchy name!
I was surprised to see on page two that it wasn’t until mid 1962 that the Go-For-Digger trencher officially became a ‘Jeep’-approved special equipment item (other official ‘Jeep’ trencher being the Jeep-A-Trench). Page five highlights the second annual Jeeporama, held in Denver.
Page six re-highlights the Hatari craze, encouraging dealers to continue promoting the movie.
Note the CJ-5 in the upper right of Page seven. The top looks someone like a Koenig hardtop, but the rear side glass appears to be a custom size. I don’t recognize this top. Anyone else? Lower on Page seven is the 1962 World’s Fair Jeep Surrey. Two days ago I found my mother’s caricature drawing made for her at the ’62 fair. I’ll ask my aunt if she remembers this jeep.
Page eight shares a pic from the 10th annual Jeepers Jamboree, along with announcing the 4×4 Explorers, a ‘jeep’ club organized in Missouri.
