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 .

Has at least one combat rim. The jeep itself looks well baked from the sun.
“1948 Willys Jeep for sale. This is a rolling project. Pictures are taken with wheel off but it will be rolling for the buyer at purchase.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
There are four different 2×2 negatives of this jeep from similar angles.
“Original Photo Negative from the Tulsa, OK area from the 1950’s. There was no information about the photographer, I figured out the location and era based on information in the images of the set I am listing together (Car tags and signs and recognizable landmarks) I have “inverted” the image, so you can see what a print will look like. The quality is fair to good, having some graininess. This is a good quality, albeit amateur image.”

Blaine shared an ad for the Humbolt Junkies Flat Market & Vintage Trailer Rally that includes a Willys Truck. So, I began searching ….
Here’s the main trailer rally website, one that includes the below graphic.
And, then there’s this ad:
Looks like they have a Women’s shirt for $20:
And finally, after multiple searches, I found the actual jeep truck:
Humboldt Junkies in Redcrest.
Looks solid. The refurb included some aftermarket parts.

Has the bobcat hood among other updates.
“This is my 1947 Willys with a 1968 chevy 327-cid engine supposedly out of a 1968 corvette. I am the third owner of the car after the swap which was done by an older man who wanted to get rid of it because it was to fast. It is has a manual choke and there is no key required to run and drive the vehicle. It runs and drives as it sits but as you can hear and see in the video it needs a tune up the passenger side is running rich and sounds like the timing may need to get adjusted. As you can see the body is in rough shape the driver side windshield is broken and the windshield doesnt fold down because the previous owner caulked it. According to the previous owner the engine and transmission where rebuilt but I do not have paperwork to prove it so it was just word of mouth. I love this car it is super fast and fun but don’t have time or space. So 4500 obo open to all offers TEXT with questions would highly recommend trailering it.”

Glenn spotted this one. It’s got an interesting windshield. I *think* I’ve seen one or two others, though last time I looked, I couldn’t find them. The remainder of the jeep looks civilian and, mostly 1946 2A rather than 1951ish.
“Up for aution is a 1951 willys jeep. This jeep has a very rare windshield designed for a cannon. Body is solid. Looks to be the original L4 flat head engine. Engine has not ran in a long time and seems to be seized up, but all drive train seems ok. I do have a new radiator , hoses , and plug wires for the engine.”

Hasn’t been run since the 1990s. Seller won’t ship.
https://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/6187183997.html
“The serial number matches to ones manufactured in 1943. By what I can tell online, many army jeeps received a year designation when the were sold to the public, not when they were actually made.
This jeep was purchased by my Great Uncle in 1945 when he returned home from WWII. It has been in the family since. He and his brothers only ever used it to plow snow (there is a plow included if you want it).
The white top is a Korean War era top that they added later. 9,000 miles. Not a typo. It wasn’t driven much. (I’ll change it to the exact mileage later – I don’t have that info on me right now).
I HAVE THE TITLE. I know this is very important and many people don’t have the title for a jeep of this era. It costs $500 to replace a title.
