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 could be a good price.

“Willys Jeep in dress blue! Perfect for parades or daily use. 4 cylinder, flat head; 5 new tires.”
My son spotted the Chocolate jeep shown below at Enstrom Candies in Grand Junction, Colorado. If it is cool enough on his return trip, he’ll bring it home, then ship it to me.
Here’s a similar (or the same one) at Uncle Sam’s Chocolates.
Could be worth a look.

“Selling my 1948 Willy’s CJ2A Jeep. Clear VA title. Permanent 1948 VA plates. Frame is good. Body has rust underneath. Engine was recently rebuilt by Terry Walters, and I have all paperwork. Engine stand included in sale.
Includes transmission rebuild kit, transfer case rebuild kit, original starter rebuilt locally, new clutch kit, new plugs and wires, Besttop soft top and doors, and plenty of other original, new, and NOS parts. Still 6V and includes hard to find parts such as the original oil bath air filter, radiator, etc. I have owned this Jeep for over 10 years, and she drives like a dream. I just don’t have the time to finish the rebuild after taking a new position.
No lowball offers. They don’t build real Jeeps like these anymore and they are becoming harder and harder to find.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was up for auction.
Looks like an estate auction (August 25). Seller has some 3 point tools, too, but not sure they are jeep related or not.

Engine runs. Has rust.
https://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-jeep/6652442887.html
“1946 Willys yes it does have rust , mostly the front floors but someone had done a good repair . very usable .the bad is the hood the old man that had it laid a piece of tarp across the hood that help trap moisture and caused a rust problem . will need replaced if U restore it. It does run by adding gas straight to the carb. Engine sounds good no knocks .I am not pulling in fuel out of the tank felt the tank would need to be cleaned before any fuel was added .The old jeep rolls free ( brakes are not locked ) know issues the gas tank will need cleaned .
The carb will need rebuilt , i’m sure the brakes will need to be addressed . the tires are old but do hold air .Its 72 years old and I Am selling as a project .Its a little over my head and I have some physical limitations . But with a little work mainly what I had mentioned prior it could be on the road and the Patina is Awesome .Bring a trailer or dolly it is not drivable due to carb leaking & tank needing cleaned”
Should have some parts value.

“1952 Willys Jeep all original. Good restoration project. Barn kept.”
The Epic Willys Adventure is underway. It seems they’ve reached Green River, Wyoming. A couple folks have asked if I’ve been following it, but I haven’t been (I’ve mostly been resting this summer).
The adventure bills itself as having no GPS or cell phones, but the downside of that is that it is hard to report on the daily adventures (whether via FB, Instagram, or the web), so that can make it difficult for readers to follow.
You can visit the website here: https://www.epicwillysadventure.com …. and here is a realtime GPS map. The Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/epicwillysadventure
Below is a rough map outlining their drive. The route looks to be a pretty one, something Ann and I might consider driving next year on our return from the FC Roundup.
If I were to do a return trip to Washington along this route, it might be something like this. However, I’m not sure if it would be late enough in the year to complete the northern section. I’d have to do more research.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $16,000.
No description provided.
