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 .
Not the best pics, but seller appologized. It appears to have a center-piece on the hood.

“1949 jeep new motor (4cl) Runs well”

Check out the first pic. It may be an optical illusion, but I’d be very interested to measure the distance between the driver’s front tire and driver’s front frame rail vs the front passenger tire and frame rail. It looks like the wheel sticks out farther on the passenger side.
“Frame off cj3b 350 chevy with headers true duals needs a battery and a section of exhaust replaced Dana 44 axles 355 running gear fully synchronized three speed trans all new gauges fuel tank relocated to rear and is aluminum eldebrock intake and new eldebrock 650 off road carb, tilt steering hydroloc brakes and clutch 31×10.50 tires on Mickey Thompson classic two wheels I am sure I am forgetting things cash only”

UPDATE II: A reader got a response to the ad (for fun). We’ve seen similar scams in the past. Here is the text:
I’m selling it because my husband died 2 months ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories, that’s the reason I want to sell it a.s.a.p.The total price is $6,800. No damage or hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained. I have clear title, without liens or loans on it, everything is under my name. Me and my son decided to sell the house and we moved to my parents house in Mason City, NE trying to start a new life. We need to meet up to my parents place or I can arrange delivery – it will cost the gas money and I will pay for it.
I want to use eBay Motors services (5 days of testing prior purchase) for the safety of both of us, so if you’re interested in purchasing, please provide me your full name for the bill of sale, your full address and a phone number so I can notify eBay that you’re selected as my possible buyer, and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.
UPDATE: This owner has confirmed that this is a SCAM. This truck was listed on Craigslist in North Carolina and Florida. I expect it will pop up elsewhere.

“1946 CJ-2A $7,500 OBO
Every part has been rebuilt, remanufactured or is new on this CJ; everything is rust free. I haven’t driven it. It turns over, but the points have not been set. Wiring is period correct with heavy gauge cloth covered wires for the 6 volt system.
The jeep has an overdrive installed so highway speeds are attainable, but the PTO winch is disabled because of it. I do have the parts for the winch if you would like to re-install it.
The original axles, T case, 3 speed manual transmission and 134 CID flat head “Go Devil” engine have all been rebuilt out of state in Dassel, Minnesota at Northstar Willy’s. The radiator has been repaired and tested. I have all the parts for the oil bath air filter, but have installed a small K&N filter.
Gauges, coil mounted ignition key, vacuum wiper motor and special order heater are also new or rebuilt. I have the original bows and struts for the canvas top, but no canvas. Seats are re-upholstered, fuel tank is new and new floor matting is installed. Bias ply tires are new as well.
I have most of the receipts.
Project is 90% done with parts for most of the remaining work. I don’t have the time or interest to work on it anymore. I’m sure it will make someone happy, its a great looking, old school rig.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
