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 .
Austin shared this one. It has a few unusual updates, including the strips along the side.

“1947 Willys Jeep,runs and drives,restored back in the 90’s,stored inside since”
Could be worth a look. Some General Supply/Hesse history.
https://muskegon.craigslist.org/hvo/d/vintage-willys-air-compressor/6551939433.html
“This is a Willy’s Go Devil engine. This is an engine that has a conversion kit on it to make it into an air compressor. The engine is stuck, not blown up! The generator is missing also the air tank, air gauge, and fuel tank. I put some trans fluid in all of the cylinders about five months ago. The block is not cracked! It was built between 1945-1955. If you are restoring a Willy’s Jeep and need a engine this would work well for that.
I just don’t have the time to work on it right now, so I would rather re-home it than let it sit and collect dust any longer.”
UPDATE: Seller describes this as a GPW, but it’s a Willys (thanks guys).
Does not include the rifle. It might need some paint touch ups.
https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/cto/d/1944-gpw-ford-jeep/6553177085.html
“1944 jeep GPW Ford

https://sd.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-jeep-1947/6555546352.html
“Willys Jeep – 1947 model. Makes an interesting parade, kids and adults both seem to like it. Or can be a project jeep if you want to rebuild to like new. 4 wheel drive works. Does run and can be licensed as is but it does smoke a little. Not licensed since 2007. Electrical system is 12 volt and starter rebuilt just before I quit licensing it. Ignition system was rebuilt before I purchased a number of years ago. Will slip out of 2nd gear if let up on gas and don’t shift. Brakes are fair. Mileage unknown. Battery weak but will include new battery for $50. There are a number of rusted out areas but does not show when driving. See pictures. (note: fake Gatling gun is NOT included)”

Nice looking wagon.
“1950 2wd willys station wagon. it has a camaro front clip with power front disc brakes, camaro rear end and a 1958, 283 v8 with a automatic transmission. runs and drive very nice. I do believe it needs some front end work to make it drive perfect. The only reason we are selling it is, it is to small to pull our vintage travel trailer.”

Another Willys ad from Eastern Oregon. The ad was published Thursday, October 27, 1949, in the Heppner Gazette Times.
This has an interesting gizmo on the dash … looks similar to a tv remote. Possible a security addition?
https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/1958-jeep-willys/6554663400.html
“Titled as a 1958 Jeep. Has an excellent condition complete fiberglass body so no rust anywhere. It has a rebuilt SBC 283 with power pack heads out of a 58 Corvette with a brand new Edlebrock carb. It also has a Muncie 4 speed with all new clutch assembly. The tires are brand new with only about 10 miles on them. The top is in excellent shape with all good windows. The interior has all new carpet and new seats with new seatbelts along with a overhead console with an under dash stereo holder mounted to it and interior light. I have not had this Jeep vey long but have dumped a ton of money in it. I would like to find a Model A pickup so me and my dad could restore 1 more before he cant do it anymore. $9500.”
UPDATE: As the commenters below noticed, you’ll want to take a close look at the tires.
Could be worth a look.
https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-willys-cj2a/6552302158.html
“Here is my 1948 CJ2A. Currently has brand new brakes and lines, brand new head gasket, battery, and radiator. Frame and Tub are very clean, Engine runs very well, just burns oil when cold. Oil pressure is strong as seen in picture of gauges. Clutch, trans, and transfer case feel very good and 4wd works great on this jeep. I’m firm on the price but open to offers, no trades. I have extra seats, fabric and lights in the back of the jeep as well as a bikini top, before the jeep looked like this it used to be a military replica and the previous owner painted it red.”
Has some minor mods. Looks promising.
