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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
I picked up this postcard on eBay. It looks to be Craig’s tour jeep.
UPDATE: Thanks to Mark for sharing images of his yellow Approved Willys Service sign. That makes three known yellow signs.
As Barney notes in the comments, “Mark said he believed the signs were made using old, solid patio table tops, thus explaining the center hole filled with a bolt. Now we know of 3 and also a more plausible explanation than mine above. It is a cool sign for the price and well built.
=========================
UPDATE: Originally published May 20, 2024: Barney Goodwin from Barney’s Jeep Parts just purchased this yellow Approved Willys Service sign, which is similar in colors, content and styling to a sign posted on eWillys back in 2020 (see bottom of post). Does anyone have any history behind these unusual service signs. Barney noted that on the back of his it references Chicago if that’s any help.
Barney added, “This sign is made of heavy gauge steel . It is not flimsy like an import. The edges are rolled and there is a weathered support plank on the back as shown. The rolled edge is painted black. There is stenciling on the back with perhaps a product number For Willys Overland by a Chicago contractor.”
=======================
UPDATE **SOLD** Was originally posted August 26, 2020.
Roger Martin spotted this unusual Willys Service Sign at a Portland, Indiana, Tractor show today. If you are interested in the sign, we can get you the seller’s p#.
The seller provides lots of details about this one.

“I’ve owned this 1948 Willys CJ2a since 2009 and have thoroughly enjoyed driving and working on it, but am in a different stage of life and now it’s time to let someone else have some adventures with it.
Highlights:
• Frame-off restoration in 2010. Sandblasted and coated the frame, replaced leaf springs (NOS) and shackles, shocks, overdrive, electrical harness, seat cushions and canvas covers. Engine and transmission were solid when I bought it. Total mileage unknown, I’ve put about 10k on it.
• Body is original steel tub as far as I know. It has a few dings and small ares of corrosion. Original Luzon red re-painted in 2010.
• 134 ci. flathead “Go-Devil” engine with Solex carburetor and electric fuel pump, 3 speed T-90 manual (6 forward speeds with overdrive split), 4WD of course :).
• I have a soft top and all the bows for it. I’ve been told it is an older aftermarket “Sunbrella” top but I’m not 100% sure. It keeps wind and shade off you, but is a little tired and is not waterproof.
• I’ll also include a timing light, dwell meter, mechanical fuel pump, and some other spare parts and accessories.
My goal for this Jeep was never for it to be a show vehicle, just something that looked nice and drove like the original. It runs and drives well; it’s a hoot around town and even more fun up in the mountains”
TJ spotted this one. It was listed, with an extra engine, for only $3500 (in Prineville, Oregon). Not surprisingly, it sold quickly!
“I have a 1944 Willys MB for sale. pictures are from 2 years ago, sitting outside, It comes with an extra motor and needs work. The Brakes need to be bled. The fuel pump needs to be installed(I have a new one). The seats need to be put in. The front drive shaft needs to be installed. It’s a good starting point but it’s a great starting point. The engine ran with the other fuel pump; it just was leaking fuel from it”
Andy shared this one. According to a data plate, it was in the LBJ inauguration parade.

“Tuxedo Park Mark IV. One of 20 White Official units in the Inaugural Parade of Former President Lyndon Baines Johnson on January 20, 1965. Tires inflate and roll. Engine turns”
Tom shared this solid looking 2A. Is there a bolt missing on the front lugs?

“ALL NEW Frame off restoration”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.

“‘47 2A. Runs and drives well. Exhaust leak somewhere and has typical drips but other than that very solid. I have a passenger under seat storage container, hardtop and full doors with glass, Jerry can and holder (unmounted) and heater. 8000lb winch works well. Growing young family and unfortunately not toddler friendly. My loss is your gain. Asking $10,500. Southern Maine”
This seems worth a look.

“Selling my Willys CJ2A. It has a clean Colorado title that says it’s a 46, but many things are different and new. It has a new 3A windshield with glass, an M38 sun top, glove box, and is 12 volt. Everything works including wipers, horn and lights. It has a new rear floor mat, radiator, carburetor, brakes and lines, head gasket, tie rod ends, and steering stabilizer. The jeep fires right up and runs great. I’m selling it to hopefully get a WWII 40 to 45 MB.”
Runs and drives.
