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 is a press photo of the XJ 001. If you don’t remember, this prototype jeep was built on the CJ-5 chassis and power by the 360CI AMC V-8. Essentially, it was a 4WD muscle car. You can read about the vehicle on Hemmings. Unfortunately, the prototype was destroyed in an accident as it was being transported. The article also indicates some folks called the 1998 Jeepster prototype the ACT II of the XJ-001.

Here’s a photo from the internet that shows the front:
This may be a CJ-3A with a CJ-2A body.

“Cj5
Scout axles
Tubbed frame
4.3 lt v6
Larger gas tank
Automatic
Bikini and full soft top with doors
Runs drives ready for some mud”
This appears to have a PTO, a PTO winch and an overdrive. Could be a good price. It also has what is probably a later model (cj-3a/dj-3a) flathead for some reason.

The tub is rough, but maybe there’s something here someone can use?
https://boise.craigslist.org/pts/d/boise-1942-jeep-willys-mb-tub-and/6787653913.html
“Selling the tub and fenders for a 1942 Jeep Willy’s MB.
They are not in the best shape, but not too bad considering they went through WWII.
They would be good for parts or candidates for a build. I was planning on using for a build, but I need the space for other projects. No title.”
Now sure how much value is here.

This is an odd brochure. It’s titled, “Let’s Keep Them Running”. The front page has some of the poorer illustrated trucks and wagons. All the vehicles look a little off in terms of size and styling.

The Quiz:
Given non-running DJ-5s can be picked up for under $1000, I’ll be curious to see if this sells for the asking price. No description provided.

“Old military schramm generator with a 40’s willys 4 cylinder jeep engine. I’ve had this for about 9yrs. It has been kept inside the whole time. I’ve installed new rims/tires and added a spare tire and mount.”
