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 “One Car you can use for Most Everything” ad appeared in a 1948 issue of Look Magazine, but which issue isn’t yet clear.

Chris’ jeep club is auctioning this jeep off with the proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.
View all the information on eBay
“Up for sale we have a first year 1987 Jeep Wrangler YJ. This jeep is being sold with 100% of the sale being donated to the American Cancer Society. This Jeep was a generous donation that our local jeep club received from a private owner. It has a clear California title. It is currently not running. We have determined the engine is a 4.2 liter that has been converted to fuel injection. This is not a 4.0.
The jeep was in the process of a full restoration when we received it but as you can tell, it needs to be completed. This was at some time a full frame off restoration. You can tell from the pictures that the frame is in excellent condition. Interior: the interior was in the process of being restored and we feel the majority of all interior parts are included. It includes an after market steel locking console. All three seats are in great shape as well. Original keys and most of the interior parts are original.Tub: the tub is wonderful condition as well. Inside floor boards and rear deck are rust free. The front clip is in good shape with a small ding on the drivers side front fender.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Look solid, though more refurbed than restored. This may have some late model Free-Lock hubs.

Looks solid.
“restored military jeep

Has no title, the two left tires are seized, and the floor could use a patch or replacement, but overall could make a good restoration project as the rust may be limited to the floors. Note the windshield wiper fluid bag in the engine compartment.

“My dad passed away last year, and I’m cleaning out our family’s barn and we have a 1959 Willy’s Jeep with a Koenig cab and a plow.
Just pulled it out of our barn for the first time in over 40 years. My grandpa used it as a snowplow and it’s just been sitting since (metal warehouse on a concrete floor).
Don’t really know much about it other than what you can see in the pictures. Comes with a spare tire and the original snowchains. Only 17,094 original miles!
Don’t have the title, but I do have a bunch of old registration forms, as well as the Power of Attorney paperwork you would need to get a replacement title.
Two left tires are seized, other than that don’t know anything about it mechanically.”
Looks complete. Maybe the rust isn’t too bad?

“3 speed with over drive. Does not run.”
I’m not sure which half top this was. Maybe the doors are original to some hardtop, but the half-top itself is custom?
https://salem.craigslist.org/pts/d/salem-willys-cj2a-half-cab-top-doors/7186977401.html
“Vintage Willys CJ2A Half cab top & doors. This came with a project Willys & I will not be using it. Typical rust, doors have broken glass & will need some repairs. Cab is open in the back. Missing door hinges that bolt to the body. Not sure if this will fit older military versions, but for sure fits the 1945 1946 1947 1948 CJ2A.”
No title and a project.

“I have a nearly complete Jeep taken apart some work has been started but needs finished. The 4 wheel drive engages good and solid on front. I have a clean kansas title in my name. The price is negotiable but not a whole lot. Have other more pressing projects. I also have the frame motor and tranny.Can get photos of frame if wanted. It has tires but not real good, will hold air for awhile. Frame seems to be in good solid shape.”
Not much value here.

This August 10, 1960, article in the Daily Sentinal out of Grand Junction highlights Ouray and briefly mentions the jeep tours available. You’ll note the tour-jeep in the pic in the upper left photo.
I’ll have to double check, but I think this is another Willys-Overland ad that’s unique to the New Yorker.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
This seller has a half and a full top for sale. He’s calling the white full top a Meyer hardtop, but it looks to be an aluminum Deluxe Sears top ($400). The other one is a sears half aluminum top ($325). Both of these tops appear in this vintage Sears ad from the CJ-3B page.
“Aluminum Willys jeep tops. These are 2A/3A tops. Both are in great shape. I decided to go another direction.
1. Meyers Industries full cab and doors. Glass is good in the top but it needs new glass for one of the doors. Rear hatch opens and handles are present. $325.00 
2. Sears deluxe half cab and doors. It has been disassembled and stripped to bare aluminum. I have the hardware to put it back together. It has the side mirror, door handles, and working lock with keys. Windows are plexiglass and could use some cleanup but are usable. I do have the rear panel with window that’s not in the picture. It wasn’t needed to test fit the top. $400.00″
This will need some work.

“1947 CJ2A project Willys ….CJ-5 drivetrain. * Titled as a 47 * Runs, but only if bottle fed. * plastic fuel tank. (Fuel is old) * Duantless V6 * Disc Brakes * Zero rust. NEEDS: * Currently No brakes. * Wiring to be finished. * Fuel system gone through. * And more. I do not want to sell this Willys, as it’s such an excellent platform for a good driver. I have too many projects and won’t get to this until next year. I will take a “fair offer” in person or take a partial trade for a SXS. Mule or Ranger etc.”
These are resold so infrequently that I don’t know what the value of these are.
