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 .

There’s been work done on the body. It sounds like the seller must sell before xmas, so this might become a great deal.
“My 1946 jeep is for sale, son decided to take apart and rebuild, and ran out of follow through! Engine and all parts are there, with several extra pieces and parts. Body parts sanded and primed. Jeep was running fine as we used it around the ranch, until he decided to “fix it up”. Flat head 4 cylinder, oil bath air cleaner, minimal rust. I believe it is a CJ2A civilian. Has a removable homemade hard top, 16” tires. Email me offers, has to go before Christmas day.”

I’d say those are floatation tires!

“I have a Ramsey winch pto unit 73002, that bolts to the bottom of the transfer case. This is unit is hard to find and necessary if you want both an overdrive and the pto capability on your vehicle. I’m not sure which vehicles this will fit, but I’ve been told that it will bolt onto a Dana 18 and Dana 20. The tooth count is 20 on the main gear. The adaptations of the frame member and shift lever are left up to you. See pictures. Call (503) 554-0631”

“Ready for restoration! Body is in good condition – some engine work has been done – newer brakes and wheels. Great Christmas gift for a Jeep enthusiast! We’ll supply a big red bow!”
There’s been some body work on this jeep. For example, note the sharp angle of the fenders rather than the normal smooth corner. The body drain holes are missing and there’s something unusual about the tailgate area.

Checkout the positioning of the levers. What’s going on with that?
“BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED 1947 WILLYS. I COULD ONLY LOAD 24 PICS, I HAVE PLENTY MORE, JUST LET ME KNOW I WILL E-MAIL THEM TO YOU ASAP. FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION FOR CIVILIAN USE! [Ed note ..

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
This might be a pretty good price. It’s got a big speedometer, which suggests a DJ-3A to me, so the year noted by the seller may be correct.
“My dad and I are selling a Willy’s Jeep. It registers as a 1963 but it is honestly a mutt. It runs strong and the 4 wheeldrive works great. The starter was rebuilt about a year ago. The tires have probably about 90% of their tread left. The parking brake is broken (the guy we bought it from snapped the cable while we were test driving it). It is an easy fix we just never got around to it. I would really rather not sell it but it is under my dad’s name and he wants to make room in the garage and I have my own motorcycle project as it is so it must go.”
I recognize those seats, but this jeep must be listed under a new city this time.

There’s been some upgrades on this CJ-6, including a V-8 and an SM-420 Tranny. Not much in the way of a description.

Here’s an unusual arrangement of rear sitting.
“All bearings, brake parts and lines, steering linkage, wiring harness, gas tank and gas line, windshield and gasket, radiator, fuel pump, carbuator, water pump, alternator, hoses, all replaced with new parts. Electrical converted to 12 volt. Engine has oil filter cartridge system. All clutch parts new. This vehicle is a solid runner. It has 16 inch rims, which are not the original 15 inch rims. Tires are 7.50X16 and are probably 25 years old with tubes and have always held air. I have owned this jeep since 1987 and have done all of the work except rebuilding the engine, which was done professionally. Drives good, no shimmy. Floor starter. All guages replaced with new, however the gas guage needs to be replaced as it was burned out when the conversion to 12 volt was done. This jeep is ready to use.”

In the May 25, 1944, edition of the Ogden Standard Examinier was a press release out of Toledo, Ohio. Buried between articles on “GI Haircutting Leaves Much To Be Desired”, “Dog Quarantine To Be Strict”, and a map of Bombing Times (shown below because it’s a cool map), was the following announcement:
New Jeep Developed For Sand, Swamps
TOLEDO, O., May 25 (AP) — A sand and swamp jeep, which can carry eight men over soft beaches at 50 miles an hour, has been developed for coast guard shore patrol duty by Willys-Overland Motors, Inc., Ward M. Canaday, President, announced today. The new vehicle is much the same as the standard model except that it is 12 inches longer, has a lower gear ratio, is equipped with jumbo-balloon tires, and has a rotary hoisting device which enables it to extricate itself or other vehicles from mud and sand, Canaday said.
Josh notes that the jeep in this article is the MLW. He pointed us to the Milweb website. Here’s a picture from that site. Many more pics are there along with an article by Mark Askew, who has written a good book about rare jeeps called Rare WWW2 Jeeps.
And, just for fun, this pre-Dday Map:
That’s quite the front bumper!
