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 $4500.
The seller includes the p# on one of the pics on Craigslist.

The current bid on this is $126,000. Terry shared this, as it includes an interesting fact. This was assembled by Willys of Mexico, according to the sales post.

“This 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce is a lightweight “Alleggerita” model that was originally ordered in early 1957 by AutoSport S.A. Mexico of Mexico City. It was built on July 2, 1957 and was assembled by Willys Mexicana, S.A. after being imported in a crate without its engine or wheels installed. The car was raced throughout Mexico during the 1960s, and was driven sparingly on the road in the 1970s before spending the next several decades in storage. …..”
The body has some patches.

“very good condition”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $4500.
It’s a project.
“I started dismantling this project for a full resto and had to put it aside so the pictures in listing are it’s former state and current state with all the pieces in the vehicle. Everything is in the vehicle to either just put it right back together or keep going and fully restore it. Ran and drove great before it was dismantled. No issues other than a few leaks no rust Looking for $4500 best reasonable offer.”
Here are some rare parts for a Landrover IIA. Seller may also put them on eBay.

“The frame and bulkhead on this rig are rusted out, so I have parted it out. I have a good set of pictures of most of the large parts.
I am offering the large body parts first. smaller parts will go after I have them sorted and cleaned up. If you need something specific, you can ask for it.
Given the size of the parts, I prefer if you pick them up. If I have to box and ship them, I will need to charge for that. I will probably also list many of these parts on eBay also. ”
Not sure how much value is here. Has a Beck/Kelly half top, but it looks pretty rusted.

“Parts only frame rusted. Titled. make offer. Also have old international from 50s that Cab may still be good. No title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500. Has a Sears Deluxe hardtop.
Seller says he will not answer questions. Hmm.
“Clean Pennsylvania title! Does not run! Project vehicle! Bring a trailer! If you are not mechanically inclined you better have lots of money! Will not answer questions.”
Appears worth a look.

Joe shared these two Albany Police Department police photos posted by Albany’s Times Union online newspaper. The CJ-2A riot jeep is pic #30 of 35. The Wagon is pic #2 of 35.
Roger Martin shared this photo of, most likely, a CJ-2A or CJ-3A that was modified and outfitted with a camera. He spotted on Facebook. It was used on the set of the original Road Warrior Movie.
I was unable to find another photo of the camera jeep, but I did find a modified CJ-3B used for the Road Warrior (Fury Road) remake.
Steve discovered this short article on a problem caused by jeeps in the Philippines (though this is a more complicated situation than just the existence of jeeps). The article was published in the October 11, 1945, issue of the Guinea Gold, a newspaper out of Australia. On the same page, there were two additional stories about Australian war brides getting preferential treatment for their trips (one article noted ‘secret’ trips by ship and another by a few women who got to fly to Hawaii) over returning service men.

“Filipino men are trying to put US jeeps cut of bounds to all their women under 40 years, states Ray Johnston, war correspondent, in Brisbane Sunday Mail.
Almost any hpur of the day and night, American jeeps carrying attractive Filipino girls can be seen in Manila’s grievously war-damaged streets. Timorous mothers and jealous boy friends have been complaining against the attraction the jeep exercises on local girls.
In China, Government officials and citizens became alarmed over the fact that the Chinese took to jeeps, as ducks to water, so they prohibited their girls riding inthem.
“Maybe such a law would be considered rude in Manila, but we should do something about the
situation,” says the Manila Chronicle. “After all, we don’t want it said in future that the jeep won the war and our women, too!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100.
Steve shared this ‘all original’ Tonka Fire Jeep. It appears in good condition, but it’s missing a few items, including the ladder, the hood light, and one of the vertical cylinders on the back bumper. The rear bumper unit is also bent backwards.
“BEAUTIFUL RED TONKA JEEP, BETTER CONDITION THAN MOST, I HAVE HAD IT FOR YEARS BUT I AM MOVING AND SELLING OFF SOME TOYS – LOCAL PICKUP”
Look solid. Seller will consider offers.

“1952 Cj-3a currently in pieces, engine doesn’t run, no title, great for parts or restoration. Selling the Jeep as-is. I’m located in Titusville, Nj. Make me an offer. ”

“I have a 67 here with the odd fire v6 that runs. The frame is pretty good, i didn’t find soft spots in it but it got lots of surface rust. The rear springs are wrong, 2 owners ago got fronts and stuffed them in the rear all wrong. I have had the vin verification done and it is registered in NH. I dont have the title. The brakes are bad and the body is a bit rough. It shifts well. I havent had the engine fired in a while because the battery cables are junk but if you’re serious about it we can get it to fire up I’m sure. It eill have good usable tires on it. Make me a good offer and come get it.”
Needs work.

“1949 Jeep CJ3A, 350 which needs to be put backtogether, has transmission as well. Great project.”
Here’s a cool find by Roger Martin.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/621628415435840/
“Custom modified Jeep to be a taxi in the Phillipines. It is unknown how many miles this vehicle has been driven. This vehicle has no markings, no VIN number or other indicators where it was made or how long ago. Please contact me for further details. Jeepneys are a popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War II and are well known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating. They have also become a symbol of Philippine culture.”

UPATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
A color slide from 1941? That’s a rarity.
“Original 35mm film slide.
Subject: U.S. Army MP Willys Jeep at Camp Sibert (or Siebert) in Boulder City, NV.
Date: Oct. 1941
Mount/Film Type: Kodachrome, red border
The scan below has not captured all detail, but shows the relative sharpness of the slide. The green text reading “embitt scan” was superimposed after scanning.”
This ad just expired on eBay and will likely be reposted at some point. It’s a Willys Export Company magazine ad, but unclear to me who the audience was. If this were a Canadian ad I imagine it would be tagged with a Kaiser Willys of Canada moniker, so it’s unclear to me what magazine this might have been.
