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 .
Just one update Sunday, next updates Monday.
This jeep was painted by Pfc. Joseph Chesley, who’s come up with some creative jeep names. This article appeared in the December 22, 1944, issue of the Arizona Blade-Tribune.
Joe De Young spotted this trailer. It’s a good price. It appears one of the post bracket channels in the back was removed and replaced with a reflector.

“Nice heavy duty trailer newer tires and new lights 1 7/8 hitch pulled down the road great used for hauling wood just looking to get something bigger”
No date on this photo from Ireland. Are the uniforms unique enough to date the photo?

“Photo shows the Irish young boys are studying mechanism of an American jeep. – Vintage photograph. While two Americans sailors recapture a bit of home by watching a game of American baseball at a Northern Ireland naval base, these Irish boys vastly prefer to study the mechanism of an American jeep.Keywords: people, men, sailors, American, sitting, watching, jeep, match, Irish, boys, children, together, mechanism, together, enjoying, smiling. Size of photo 6.8″ x 4.8″.”
Maury spotted these items. The 1/4 jeep looks almost like a high-hood, but given a Jeepster is shown, I’m guess it is actually a 2A or 3A. I would guess these are 1949 or 1950 containers.

“Runs and drives, good round town truck. I saw one sell for almost twice what I’m asking. This truck is not restored, great attention getter. The rust area is about four inches long and is on a flat area by the door”
Looks in good shape. Has a variety of updates.

Appears in good shape.
“1953 Willy’s military jeep. Great condition. Runs great. Comes with original communication radio, heater, and faux M50 gun and mount and more.”
Lots of updates to this wagon.

“1952 Willy’s $10,000 OBO On S10 frame, V-6 auto, all Chevy running gears Good driver”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,950
(10/22/2019) I’d like to see some more pics of this one. Has a fiberglass body.
“This vehicle is for show. Has won many awards. Chevy 383 stroker engine. Original transmission and rear end. Custom exhaust. New fiberglass body. Yellow paint. Additional custom features. Has been in the family since original purchase in 1946. No second party representatives”
Looks pretty unmolested 2WD wagon, though it does have an Allstate engine head.

“1951 Willys 2dr. station wagon. Would make a good restoration project, hot rod, or a great rat rod. It is mostly complete. Factory 6 cylinder, 3 speed overdrive transmission. This vehicle has been sitting for approximately 15 years here in Nevada. Glass is all there but, passenger side windshield is broken. Front floor pan is rusted through. Has a clean Nevada title. Asking $3500.00.”
This mostly appears to be a 2A body, but it also has a well for an MB/GPW style tank and it lacks a fuel inlet hole on the driver’s side. It may actually be a reproduction body of some kind.

“About 1946 or 47 Willys JEEP body. Windshield, the Tub with tool box under passenger seat, Tail Gate, Hood, war 2 Grill. There is a little rust that on tail gate that is repairable. It has been inside my heated shop for over 3 years. I sold the 2 flat finders to a another person 3 years ago. You will have to come and see it to be-leave it. Please call, come and see, it should be listed for $2000.00 but I just wont it gone so $1200.00 should by a good number.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $120.
Did we ever determine the origin of these hubcaps? A similar use of the “J” logo was used on Cutlas hubcaps, but the hubcap was much more plain and the lettering was black, not red. A similar set was for sale in Florida back in 2017. I checked the Brian Chuchua and Conferr catalogs, but there’s sign of them in there.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
This is an odd one.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep RatRod truck. A lot of fabrication went into it. It is a Rat Rod. (If you don’t know what a RatRod is then this is not for you).The drivetrain started out as a 2003 Ford Ranger Edge. V6 Automatic, AC, Heat,PS,PB, CC, Touch Screen stereo. New Glass, Lowered 4/5 inches. Runs and drives good. Would be a good Dailey driver or just for fun on the weekends. I’m not really looking to get rid of it but always looking for something else to play with. Up for trades. I have original paperwork from 40+years ago on this truck and a clear TN title in my name for the truck and the one for the original Ranger Frame. What’s for trade?”
Do these make enough money to make a $5000 purchase make sense?

“2 have engines, 1 does not. Old military Jeep ran 20 years ago”
This is an undated tri-fold brochure that I would guess is from the mid 1970s.
This four page price list shows just how large Kayline’s offerings were by 1976.
This Kelly brochure provides a good closeup on how the tire carrier mounted to the rear of the jeep. You can see that it bolted to both tailgate hinges and to the center. (view more rear tire carriers/jerry can carriers here)
Has some VEC indents and a EasyLok hubs.

“Has a 289 ford in it runs and drives 4 wheel drive works with high and low shifter”
This has an M-38 body. No description provided. The “WILLYS” branding on the hood is incorrectly placed. I’d have to guess that the hood is also from an M-38.

UPDATE: Price bumped to $7000. I’ve tried to locate another example of this kit car, but couldn’t. Some of these kit cars only sold a handful of products. For example, only four models of the VWeep (which doesn’t look much like a jeep) were produced.
(12/20/2019) Something different with a little jeep DNA.

“Vw beetle fiberglass jeepster kit. 1600 engine, 4 speed IRS transaxle. 4 or 5 seater . A lot of new parts. A rare vw kit. Runs and drives great. Has title. No trades.”
Need to be cleaned up some. Seller will not ship.

“Here is a set of 15×10 Aluminum Slots that I took off of a 70 Jeepster commando years ago. They are in EXCELLENT CONDITION but do need cleaning. The bolt pattern is 5×5 1/2 and will fit big pattern jeeps and early Ford trucks from about 1972 and earlier. Again these as you can see are very very nice and it’s hard to find nice ones that have not been curbed and all dinged up. I will not ship”
UPDATE: Still Available. New pics provided.
(04/03/2020) This has an M-38 windshield, a CJ-2A grille, and a fiberglass body/front clip. It’s a project.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/197953937973860/
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(03/25/2020) Has a solid looking Kelly hardtop and a Monroe Lift.
“Selling for a friend: 62 or 63(old title its a bit confusing) Tallhood Willys, with a 283 Chevrolet V8, JC Whitney bell housing adapter, half cab and three point hitch system. Comes with a snowblade. It does have rust, but it’s not a basket case. Hasn’t run in years, but it turned over briefly before the starter shat its pants. I might look about getting it running this weekend. Clean title. Lowballers need not apply, the lift system alone is worth at least grand by itself, and it ain’t eating nothing just sitting there. I ain’t looking to play twenty questions with this thing via messenger, if you’re interested, hit me up, and come look at it, maybe we can work out a deal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
The seller doesn’t provide a price, but does provide a p#.
“Anyone looking for a 1967 Kaiser Jeepster Commando Pickup or a 1969 Chevelle SS to tinker on during your alone time?? Let me know….thanks,”
