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 .
This video from the Ontario County Historical Society. It shares some of John North Willys’ early history. Note that the historian uses the Williez pronunciation of the nation, which likely will grate with some folks.
Bill shared this article on a resto-modded-truck posted to MotorBiscuit.com.

Bold price. Lots of good detail work. This may have some DJ-3A parts.
“Ls chevy motor Running Ecm computer rearend 9″ ford”
Blaine spotted this narrow-track FC for sale. It’s listed as a 1960, but I suspect that’s just a place holder year. The seller supposedly has an interested buyer, but the ad is still up as of this morning.

“Cj6 frame $500.00 o.b.o.”
UPDATE: This video is making the rounds on FB, again, so, I figured I’d repost it.
Original Post March 2017: Listed as a 1940s promotional film, the inclusion of CJ-5s and the exclusion of DJs and FCs suggests to me it was created in 1955. There’s an extended look at a cargo personnel carrier near the end of the video There are also a variety of specialized equipment and hardtops shown.
Sam spotted this photo with an 1946-1947 CJ-2A (and other photos) at the Digital North Carolina archives. According to the description, the photo shows “Van and George Watson hauling seed corn to dryer plat at Watson Seed Farms INC. with World War II Surplus Willy’s Jeep. Watson Seed Farms had 2 jeeps.”
https://lib.digitalnc.org/record/8919#
This article and photo was published in the September 25th, 1943, issue of the Calgary Herald.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Has an unusual roll bar set up. Appears worth a look.
“1946 Willys CJ2a. It may not look pretty but it runs well. It has new tires, wiring, gauges, clutch and throw out bearing, brakes and brake lines and hoses. The steering box has been rebuilt, and a new battery, plugs wires, points and dist. cap. Radiator has been cleaned and new fluid. New brake lights and working turn signals. It has a refurbished windshield wiper motor, and new windshield glass along with many other new parts too numerous to list. The engine is a L -134 flathead. It is currently tagged and insured with a clean N.C. title”
Not a bad price given the amount of work that’s been done. Still, it’s only a 2WD vehicle. It does have a good looking Kelly hardtop.

Looks in decent shape and includes extra rims/tires.
“$1,850 – Or Best Offer
For a 75-year-old trailer, this one is in pretty excellent shape. This is either a 1946 or 1947 Bantam T3-C 1/4 ton trailer. I’ve owned it for a couple of years now, with the intention to turn it into a overland like trailer.
I have an extra set of rims with military style tires, but all these tires need to be replaced, the rubber is pretty old on these. All the rims are in inner tube style rim as well. The bolt pattern is 5×5.5″ with a hub opening of a hair over 4.75.”
