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 has a nice half top with some unusual mods.

“Original 4-cylinder motor, 3 speed transmission, 4 WD, with Chevy Power Steering.

There’s a Meyer hardtop here, but I don’t see enough parts for it to be a CJ-6. Maybe not all the pics are shown.

“Jeep CJ6 hard doors plus some hard top parts. They fit CJ6 and not rusty but are not new. … Is what it is right ?
We all know what it is like owning older Jeeps. I have done my best to offer these at a fair price if not at a cheap one.”
Not sure how much value here given is rolled. May be just a parts vehicle at this point.

“I have a rolled 1950 CJ3. I bought it from the gentlemen who was hit while driving it and subsequentially rolled. I have replaced a few of the panel and worked on some of the mechanical however I do not have the time for it and would like to create space in my carport. It does run and I do have more parts for it and yes I have the title.

I published the green version of these (seen below) of this brochure, but not the red/black/white version. This red version really pops.
This former Navy jeep has a gov dash plate.
https://westernmass.craigslist.org/cto/d/chester-1953-jeep-willys-cj3b/6970744584.html
“I am selling a 1953 Jeep Willys CJ3b. Jeep is out of California until 2010 where it made its way to the northeast. Minimal rust, two spots the size of a 5 inch square on both floors by feet. Thats it.
The vehicle was undercoated many years ago, of which is peeling like crazy off the bottom of the tub and fenders. Literally comes off in sheets, by hand. Nice grey gloss paint underneath. That grey is the original grey and I think its called swan grey.
The motor was just gone through, including less than .002 taper on each cylinder, rods, pistons and main bearings are all standard and have never been over sized. Cylinders were honed and new standard rings were installed, only because the original rings had become brittle and I snap a few when removing.
The body has had some work. But, for the price, it is worth a look.
https://nh.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-jeep-cj2a/6970560406.html
“Parade ready Jeep done up as a US Air Force vehicle. It is a 4×4, 3 speed w/reverse, hi/lo range. Has been converted from 6 to 12VDC with alternator. Gauges work, has windshield wiper and period heaters for driver/passenger. Has a canvas half-top and many other new parts. The original flathead four runs well, new fuel pump, currently needs exhaust work/muffler. Comes with a custom made tow-bar and vehicle cover. Currently registered with Antique plates.
VIN # CJ2A185125…………….a unique ride, and a real head turner.
I am 6’2″ and 230 lbs and don’t fit well into this Jeep, a little too tight. As far as I know, this has only been used for parades since being restored by previous owner a number of years ago, and I have only put about 25 miles on it.”
Looks like a good price, especially for Alaska.

Looks like a good price for this former City of New Haven hardtop.
“I have what seems to be a New Haven CT highway dept. or DPW jeep hard top and doors as well as a hood, tailgate, windshield frame and grill. the hardtop is in decent shape, all of the glass is perfect accept for a one of the small rear windows. The hard doors have glass intact and crank up and down. The windshield frame is in very good condition but the glass is cracked in the middle. the top has roof rails and an orange flasher on top.”
It’s a project.

“Looking to sell my 1942 Ford GPW project jeep. Attached are photos of it together whole, and in parts (its current state).

Looking to get out of the project while I still can and to make back some of the money I invested into it. Here’s the list of everything I have:

I had some kind of intestinal issue yesterday, so I spent most of the time in bed. Looking for something interesting to watch on TV, I ran across a documentary called The Ghost Army, which talks about the top-secret unit charged with creating distractions, illusions, and more. I’d heard of the story, but never saw the video.
I watched the film via Amazon Prime; I can’t find it anywhere online, but I did find this short introduction to the Ghost Army video:
Here are some images showing how the group tried to make a jeep into a tank, but that turned out to be a failure. Instead, they turned to blow-up rubber tanks.
Here’s a jeep parked next to a rubber tank:
This might interest someone.
