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 $4800

“Black tag” means it is tagged non-operational.

This vintage looking wagon has a number of updates.
“57 willys wagon. Fuel injected 5.0 out of an 89 mustang runs strong and gets 16 miles per gallon on the interstate. Front disk brakes. New tires. Comes with lots of extra parts. This wagon is a joy to drive, it does need some work it is 60 years old and definitely not without its flaws but I have drivin it on a couple road trips one of which was to vegas and it did wonderful and will run 65-70 mph all day and get 16 mpg. All the lettering on it is all just stickers and can be removed.”

Seller notes the body isn’t very good, but has another one, but that one also needs work.
“I am listing my 1946 Cj2a everything below the body has been blasted and painted. The body is no good. I do have another tub with a good floor but has other issues that can be fixed. Runs great trans is good needs a gasket kit. Steering box rebuilt and drives good. To many other things to list. 4250 I don’t need to sell it just looking at a different project.”
This is unusual.
“This was a VW diesel swap project I have been working on. GM Saginaw power steering conversion. Has painless switch panel. New tires. It is registered, It runs and drives. I unfortunatly underestimated the little diesels power for highway speeds when i chose the gear ratio. Take over this project or I may pull engine to part it out. I still have all the hardware to install a small block Chevy. It has disc brake upgrades large rear brakes. Dana 27 Front, Dana 44 rear. 4.27 gears, Detroit Locker rear. Dana 18 transfer case SM465 Chevrolet truck transmission with Granny gear. I will separate the diesel and sell if interested in the jeep only. Or sell whole thing.”

The jeep ran and drive before disassembly. Now it’s a project.
“I’m selling my 1947 CJ2A project. The jeep runs and drives (just not now). When I got it in February/March, I was driving it around, then realized the transfer case had a stuck fork. So the transfer-case was rebuilt.
Here is what needs to be done:
-Clutch work
-bleed the brakes
-electrical
-body work
Everything is there albeit a few broken bolts that were discarded during disassembly. Comes with extra jerry cans and an original WWII Grill. This would make a great military jeep when restored!
This was going to be restoration project but real-life has since gotten in the way. No tire-kickers”
Not sure how much value is here. Given the three data tags it is most likely a 1946.
“Found in the back of a lean to on a farm that my friend inherited. It is all there except for the roof cross bows that may also be there somewhere. We are not interested in parting it out. Nobody is there to do that and it is a bit of a drive for us. I am not sure he knew it was there the roof of the shed settled down on a tractor that he wanted out and there it was back in the back covered up with junk. It belonged to his grandfather. It has 1963 plates on it. If it was ever registered that is probably when. My friend is 56 and never seen it moved. All the wheels roll and its complete as when parked. Plenty of rust including the floor pans. Both vin tags are present but almost unreadable. There is an extra windshield there and possibly other parts. Thanks Lynn”

“I have a 1953 willys cj3b that has been in the family awhile but i have to let her go. she has a few rust spots and dents. i hope that she will be restored to proper condition and will be taken care of”
This early Willys truck-mounted mill by SECO MILLS was powered by a PTO.
Mike came across this photo on Facebook. I am so happy I don’t have to build jeeps in a dress and heels!
Some interesting history here.
“This is an original press photo. Thanks To The Fifth Division Germany–In the wake of the Fifth Division advance into Germany, a jeep crosses a Bailey Bridge, spanning the Sube River, marked with a hand lettered sign informing all who pass that they do so through the courtesy of the Fifth Division. A Military Policeman stands to one side as the jeep heads for Germany. Photo measures 8 x 6.25 inches. Photo is dated 02-28-1945.”

The caption refers to the vehicle as a ‘Jeep’ car.
“This is an original press photo. Down a 160 foot incline on the sand dunes at Cape Henry, a ‘jeep’ car from Fort Story makes the descent with ease during maneuvers training drivers to handle these vehicles over all types of terrain. Should American Soldiers see service in desert lands the training these men receive will be of great value.Photo measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 4-22-1942.”
