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 .

While surfing Flickr, I found a young lady out of Canada who was given a CJ-2A from her mother, who inherited it from her father. It looks like a solid build that likely has a replacement body, probably as part of a restoration. She thinks the jeep is pretty cool, but others think she’s a dork. I left her a note, explaining there were others like her :-). Perhaps even more surprising, it’s now her main vehicle, though it’s been put away until winter ends. She notes, “It is a lot of fun to drive but you never have good hair when you get to your destination.”
Here’s a beautiful shot of her jeep with the Canadian Rockies in the background. Below that is a quick lesson she learned the hard way: why you don’t want frost to overtake your jeep. See a few more pics here. Make sure to check out her other photographs, too.
I bet this image doesn’t do the color justice. Looks likek a solid rig.
“I’m selling my 53 willys jeep it has Yellow paint, new white top, rebuilt 2 barrel carb on a chevy 350,

Both of the steps on this jeep have been thickened in some manner. I’d check the front frame rails out as well.

Here’s a good looking CJ-2A with a glass body that has a starting bid of $1,999.
“I am Selling my project Willys jeep CJ2A. It is a 1947 with an all original drive train. It has the flat 4 cylinder engine and the 3 speed tranny. The jeep runs and shifts fine. The 4wd works good. The brakes are rebuilt but need final adjustment. All new axle bearings. You will need to trailer this Willys home, but it will drive onto any trailer you put in front of it. It has a fiberglass tub, hood and fenders. The grill and windshield frame are metal and in great shape. The glass is all good. There is no cracks in any of the fiberglass. The frame is super solid. This is a great start to a nice project you could have on the road in a couple of weekends. It does need some tlc. The tires are new and the rims are freshly painted. It comes with a spare rim, nos front bumper, used lift springs, extra carbs and a garage full of spare parts. I do have a clean MA title for it. Tades are concidered so tell me what you have. Im in to harleys, sport bikes, 4wd quads and any jeep that the top comes off and is on the road.”
Warren alerted me to the Australian War Memorial Online and found these images of jeeps on their sides.
