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: Still Available.

“Jeep’s a 1947 and a 1949 one title. Lots of extra parts one has a 283 in it runs decent other one a 4 cylinder not running all tore apart. There’s a 4×4 box of extra parts floors, floor saports, battery boxes.”
The May 1967 issue of Popular Mechanics includes the article “Four-Wheel Safari Test In the Rugged Rockies”. The article covers a two-day test in the high mountains of Colorado from Telluride to Ouray. The main goal was to see if the Ford Bronco and/or the International Scout could compete with a V-6 equipped CJ-5. The conclusion was interesting.
Seems a bit on the pricey side (currently $145), but I don’t know what these are worth. A neat piece though.

“Used Jeep Dealership parts book holder, vintage not known but likely 50’s or 60’s. missing one rubber foot insert. Original condition.”
The May 1948 Outdoor Life magazine has an article called “Jeep Posse Fights Fire & Flood”, but I can’t find a reasonable priced issue. If anyone happens to have that article or the magazine, I’d be interested in sharing the story.
Cover of the May 1948 issue of Outdoor Life with the Jeep Posse article.
This issue includes (from a worthpoint auction), “Jeep Posse Fights Fire & Flood”, ” Turkeys of the Tall Peaks” and ” This Happened to Me”. There is also a print suitable for framing titled ” The Battle with the Wolves” by Fred R. Zepp. There are to many vintage ads such as Champion Outboards, Remington, Dupont, Heddon, Dipsy Doodle Wood Manufacturing Co., True Temper The Rod of Champion, Calvert, and more to mention, there is a color ad for Old Thompson Brand Blended Whiskey on the back cover.

“I have several toys for sale… This one is a Structo Sit-N-Ride Army Jeep. Tires are good and still can be rode. Has a storage compartment in the back for some Red Rider shut’em up gloves. Neat old toy. The price is $150 firm.”
Compare the one above to what an original looks like:
UPDATE: Was $12,000, now $23,500. Looks like the new seller is trying to flip this one. This was listed at $12,000 in January (see pics and text from old ad at the very bottom of post.

“West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this apparently unrestored original southern California example and extraordinarily well preserved 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A in traditional US Military colors with it’s 134 L head 4 cylinder “Go Devil” engine and full soft top & bikini top.”
==============================
AD From January 2019:
“1947 Willeys JEEP. Amazing original in every aspect. Collector car!!! This is an original paint from 47 Jeep with every option from factory. It is in perfect running order and does not drip a drop of oil. It has California (gold) vintage plates. Everything included including books, spare tire, bed extender (worth $1000 alone) perfect canvas with clear clear plastic panels. Interior is perfect. All running gear like overdrive, 4 drive, high/low work as though new. THIS IS NOT AN OLD ARMY JEEP. This is a CJ or sold to the public jeep from 1947. All works, 6V, battery charger included but it start up first try. It want to be driven more than I get around to. Original pinstripe lettering (hand.) It has great tires, seats, floors. and addition accessories from factor live icebox and other details. This will not last.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4950.
Appears worth a look.
“New clutch and transmission rebuilt 2 years ago. Drove it last summer and hasn’t been out of the garage since. I no longer have room for this fun little jeep.
Seats and top in good shape.
Clean title and current tag.”
The frame rails don’t have any gussets. In my mind, as a former Badger State resident myself, the bigger question is …. there’s a Waldo, Wisconsin?

“This is a very nice older restoration. Very nice in and out. Runs and drives great. Everything works. A great piece of history. Lentzusedvehicles.com”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
It’s a project. Engine does not spin.
“Selling my 1957 Willys-Jeep 4×4 Pickup for $6,500.00. I’m not interested in any trades want to sell outright. This truck only has a little over 40,000 miles and come with it’s correct 4cyl engine which is locked up and does not turn over. The jeep was stored in a large enclosed building next to the shellrock river that runs though our town and during the six years that it was in that building it had water all around it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1650.

This CJ-6 has the King Seeley 0-8 speedo with the broken pointer (not uncommon to see them broken). I’m surprised to see that speedo in a model as late as 1958, so it wouldn’t surprise me if this was actually an early 1957 model sold as a 1958.

This brochure was on eBay. It sold for $20.52 (I lost out on it). Unfortunately, the photos on the ebay ad only showed a few pages.

2.2 engine that was rebuilt
3 speed trans

And stock axles as well
Runs and drives great I just no longer have space for it. It’s an Amazing head turning truck that everyone seems to love. I hate to get rid of it but it’s time to move on to the next project. This project needs a few finishing touches to be 100% complete.. I just lack the time and space to complete it.
It runs and drives great just never use it.
Also this is my bottom price and if it doesn’t sell by the end of the 30 days i will just end up keeping it.”
Looks like a nice rig.
