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 early CJ-5 might be worth a look. No description provided.

“Lots of 24V parts for an M38A1. Restoring my 1962 M38A1 and converted it to 12v and have lots of parts that I no longer need. Also many non-electrical parts as well. Starters, fuel pumps, generator w/regulator and harness, distributor w/ spark plug wires and plugs, gas heater for inside heat, rear axle housing and parts, headlights, radiator for M151, wiper motor, fuel tank, etc. Contact for complete list of items. All parts usable as far as I know. Items to be sold as one lot, as is. Will consider trade for M100/M416 trailer in good shape.”
This VEC appears to be # 22678. For some reason there are no indents.

“Selling my project 46 cj2a. I was planning on restoring it and building it but plans have changed. It has a dauntless v6, 3 speed trans, twin sticks, reupholstered seats, original data plates which are hard to find, and a fairly rust free body. No rust holes! The hood and fenders are taken off at the moment but I can put them back on if need be. It is a project, but it runs, drives and stops and all gauges work accurately.
Needs paint, body work, probably a little more tuning with the carb, and wiring for the lights. I can finish the body work and paint but we would have to work out a price. Overall is a really cool little project. Not firm so send in some offers or trades! Serious inquires only, no low ballers please. Possible delivery, I have it on the trailer already”
Blown head gasket, so doesn’t run at the moment.

“1946 Willys – Licensed, Titled. Runs good engine is in good shape. Only rust on body was the passenger floor pan. This has been built but not completed. I just don’t have time anymore. New tires, electrical works, I will also send the trailer with a bill of sale.. The total for both is $5250.00. I’m in Clyde, Texas!’
UPDATE: Barney corrected me. The tops in the first brochure were Whitco tops.
I bought this hoping for more Bestop info (thinking they were Bestop tops), but Bestop isn’t mentioned in this brochure at all. I’m guessing the date of 1975 based on the fact that I don’t see any later dates on ‘the facts’ list.
This selling guide is a four page plasticized brochure for identifying and selling the proper top for the proper jeep.
I don’t know when this was produced, I imagine it is more modern than vintage.

“got this truck about a year ago as it was going to be and easy one to finish out . Then I come down with some hearth problems and I do not have any free time to work on it. It has 289 ford v8 and auto trans its a c3 or c4 . The four wheel drive does work brakes have been gone thru just need a good bleeding.
Man I got it from had been taking it to some shows and parades. I thought it should be finished before doing that. has extra parts and pretty sure every thing is there to finish it. Has very very little rust compared to all the other I have looked at . That hasn’t been redone. Will need new front floor patch panels .But its clean around the windshield and back glass and the nose. Cab corners will need very little work. the bed has some rust in different places. but most of these end up going back with a flat bed.”
Not sure how much value is here.

“completely restored. Everything has been rebuilt. Starts right up. Willys 1947. Was in a barn on family property and we did a complete restoration. Very quiet engine for hunting. 8000 miles approx on rebuilt motor. ”
Adrian provided some details on a 1/3 scale jeep model he built from Toylander plans. He bought the plans in 2008.
https://www.adriantuckwell.co.uk/2017/03/11/i-built-an-electric-car/
The jeep now pictured on the Toylander website appears to be an improved version, as Toylander’s MB43 looks like it is more jeep-like. Prices vary depending on how complete you want the jeep to be.
This was on eBay. I’d say it was published between 1948 and 1950.
