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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
(01/10/2018) Craig shared this one. Seller listed it as a 2A, but it says on the serial plate that it’s a 3A. I would recommend bringing shovel so you can dig it out of the snow!
“willys jeep 2a frame good engine and trans needs work does not roll can provide better hood just seeing if anyone is interested will need trailor and comalong to load or winch no title”
This a rare factory photo of early Nissan Patrol 4W60s. It was taken only three months after they began production. The 4W60s were made through 1960.
“1951 Press Photo Japanese workers build jeeps in Tokyo factory, Japan. This is an original press photo. Jeep-Japan – Industry – Bigger and more powerful than their American counterparts, Japanese jeeps receive their finishing touches in the Nissan Motor factory in Tokyo. The jeeps are used by the national rural police to speed up investigation work. More than 100 of the vehicles, which are constructed from materials from Japan, have been delivered. Photo measures 9 x 7.25 inches. Photo is dated 12-04-1951.”

“1949 Willys CJ3A Fire Engine Jeep. This is a Boyer conversion. This jeep is very complete, original, and unrestored. This jeep has less less than 3200 miles on the odometer. Lots of the original accessories are still place. I understand that some of the nozzles are collectible.
The jeep has been in long term storage since it was taken out of service in 1980. The jeep is not currently running but the engine is not stuck. It will turn over by hand. The jeep was driven into the storage building that I found it in. I bought this jeep from the first civilian owner. Since this is an all original jeep, I have done nothing to it. I have not even washed the nearly 40 years of dust off of it. You are getting a very complete and untouched original fire engine jeep here.
UPDATE: SOLD. Was $6000.
Has some updates.
“Got a really nice jeep here. Headed to the army so have to get rid of all the toys. Contact me for info. Comes with soft and hard top.”
This is being sold as a 1969 CJ-5 with only 8730 miles on it. Yet, the tail lights and the front parking lights are not original. The speedometer does not look original either (wasn’t the 69 CJ-5 still using the 0-9 speedo?). Anyone else have thoughts about it?

JUST A FEW UPDATES TODAY!
Thanks to Alaska Paul for spotting this one. Mack Auction will be auctioning off cars belonging to the Gervais Family Farm Wheels Museum on August 4-5. There are a bunch (100 or more) of pre-1960 vehicles, along with one WWII jeep that’s been stretched in the back. Most of the cars appear to need some work.
See all the vehicles here: http://mackauctioncompany.com/18aug4.html
Here’s a pic of the jeep:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“As you can tell by the picture of the engine compartment, I drive it very often. I live on a dirt road, which is why its a bit dirty. I will get it professionally detailed before delivery.
It is a 1948 Willys Wagon that still has the original frame, suspension and brakes. At some point someone installed a Ford V8 along with a manual transmission. Whoever did the work did a really great job. If you didn’t know better you would think it came with this engine from the factory. It also has a Vintage Air AC system which works great and was recently serviced by a Vintage Air dealer in Central Texas.
There is a little bit of rust under the paint on the bottom of the doors. If you look closely in the pictures you can see it. The only other place that has rust is the bottom of the tailgate, on the inside. Its not bad, and is a very common problem with these trucks. The floor boards and all other areas have no rust and are completely solid.
The badges on each side of the hood are wrong. They indicate that the vehicle is “4 Wheel Drive”. It is not a 4 wheel drive model.
The roof has been repainted since the pictures were taken. It had a small spot where the clear coat was pealing. The new paint matches perfectly, and looks really great.
I am selling this vehicle to help fund the purchase of an old Chevy Suburban.”
Looks ready to roll.
“Awesome Jeep !!! So much to list all in excellent condition !!! 350 /425 hp _ band m shifter _ all custom suspension !!! Have a blast cruising main”

I believe this is a factory-done parkway conversion, as it has rivets/screws between the two rear windows (Please advise if I’ve got this wrong). This may have a government plate, too.
