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 .
These are getting harder to find.

Jennifer recently finished a book about a CJ-5 called “Of Metal and Earth”. She wrote me a short note announcing her book. “I am the co-owner of a 1964 CJ-5 and author of a new book titled Of Metal and Earth. The story follows a 1964 Jeep CJ-5 as it passes through seven owners on their way to restoration and redemption.” I ordered, but have not read the book yet. Currently, the online book is free for Kindle readers.
You can learn more about her book on Amazon.
She also include a pic of here CJ-5:

“1965 Jeep Willy’s. 4×4
All original except the gas tank which is new a few years ago that I purchased from the Kaiser Willy’s catalogue. I inheirited it from uncle 8 years ago. It just sits in the barn. It never has had a flat tire on these heavy ol’ bias ply tires. It really needs a Willy’s enthusiast’ attention or a deer lease to call home. Will start and run but definitely needs a tune up. I used to fire it up and cruise up and down our road but I haven’t started it since last winter though because I’m too lazy. It does have a new interstate battery In it. Dust from sitting in the barn will be part of the package deal.
Title in hand!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

“Have recently rebuilt Warn Overdrive for Willy’s vehicles, 29 tooth, never used since rebuilt.”
The headline of the ad shows a price of $100, but the two combat rims (with 2 tires) are priced at $150 and two single piece Combat-like(?) rims are $50. Thus it appears all four tires are $200???

“Wheels and tires came off a cj3a Willys.
Tires are old but hold air and roll.

Dave just scored a Dually adapter kit off of eBay. He’s also got a set of fenders. I really like those Free-Lock hubs, too.
Travis shared this one. Drain holes appear filled or it’s a replacement body.

The seller is selling the jeep with the trailer. The jeep has an overdrive. It appears to be a 1948 CJ-2A that someone tried to turn into a CJ-3B.
“Up for sale is a 7×16 tandem axle trailer, has loading ramp, electric jack, tool box, surge breaks and a free 1948 Willy Jeep. The Jeep is a 1948 with a 326 Pontiac GTO engine, has Warn underdrive, The Jeep needs a lot of work but the trailer could be work ready very easily.”
