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 .
Does this have a rear PTO? It looks like it might be there.

This looks very restorable.
“1943 WWII Ford built Jeep. Definitely a rebuild project. Last ran in 1997. Has had some body work done but needs more, may need some engine work, has rust. Original engine. 5 tires and rims.
More photos available.”
Brett spotted this CJ-5.
“Classic CJ5 (1967 – no emissions required)
Original 4 cylinder motor runs great, brakes work great, heater, wipers, 4×4, lights… all work fine.
Factory hard top (removable) rare roll up windows (also working fine). All door locks work.
Original seats. Need to be recovered, but rare to find the fold forward bench up front and original bench in the back.
Some surface rust here and there, but no serious rot. Just an all around solid jeep with excellent restoration potential, but ready to drive/off-road anywhere today.
Please call or email with any questions. Thanks, Chris 801-831-0741”

In great shape with a ‘Koenig’ steel top. VERY little rust, if any? Repainted, upholstered and gone over mechanically in about 1956. Seats can use new upholstery. Carburetor rebuilt in 2006. Doesn’t burn oil or leak. Tires are all pretty good. Rims have a chrome ring on the rim. Everything works good. Runs great. Great for original restoration or drive it as is.

A reader named Chad inherited this jeep from his Grandfather. He hopes it gets a good home. It looks like it would be a good restoration candidate.
“1948 Jeep Willys CJ2A for sale. The jeep sat in a barn since 1999. It ran drove into the parking spot that I picked it up from. There is very little rust. The floor boards and rear pan are in excellent shape. It was repainted at some point to the light blue color. It has original engine and it runs. Brakes work but are spongy due to the rubber getting a little soft. I have both seats, however only had one in for the pictures. Comes with full size spare rim and tire.”
Norm shared a pic of his 1962 Wagon. He notes that yes, the split windshield is from the wagon, but the chrome is from a 50’s wagon. Nice looking rig Norm!
