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 .

“1956 Willys pickup with a PTO post hole auger on the back. Has a hydraulic pump that lifts, lowers and tilts side to side. If you want to dig holes for fencing, it works, just old, ugly and rusty.

Cap/rotor/coil, plugs, wires, exhaust, air cleaner, alternator, manifold gasket, battery, re-wired ignition and battery/starter cables, solenoid, starter, fuel lines,fuel filter, oil change, gauge set and more.

Could be worth a look.

“1946 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A runs and drives GREAT! Has had some body work done so yes it has some body filler but looks nice. Has one spot that needs fixed (pictured). Bought it from a retired vet. Pretty neat old vehicle that isn’t perfect but is way fun!! Only thing that doesn’t work that I’m aware of it the windshield wiper. Engine purrs like a kitten! Located in Dalton, Ohio May trade for other Jeeps or Steiner/Ventrac tractors.”
Looks to me to be a CJ-3A with a replacement tub.

This will need body work. Anyone know if a “Forestry Edition” was produced? I’m inclined to believe this is a Renegade CJ-6 that possibly was used by the Forest Service (awaiting data plate confirmation). If you have questions call Daniel at 304-880-6415.
“We have a 1975 Jeep CJ6 Forestry Edition

If you drink straight up black coffee with a touch of whiskey…you can handle this CJ2A.
If you pee outdoors regardless if there is an inside bathroom…you can handle this CJ2A.
If you eat your steak rare to medium…you can handle this CJ2A.
If you drink a full bodied American beer…….you can handle this CJ2A.
If you smoke Marlboro reds or Lucky Strike’s…….you can handle this CJ2A.
If you use a chainsaw because you like it…….you can handle this CJ2A.
