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 .
Jim posted some pictures to Flickr of this weekend’s Fall 2012 Midwest Willys Reunion. He got a few goods ones of his cool school bus (see the last pic). Thanks Jim.

In this first pic I loved the phone number on the side of the wagon. I bet that’s a 1963 wagon, too. If only phone numbers were so simple today.
no CJ3B’s?
Wow, Hand lettering, a lost art. The lettering on this wagon is so cool; even the colors of the lettering capture a a time and era of great anticipation and excitement for me when I was a child. I still do hand lettering on my Willys Jeeps. When I bought my 62 wagon, it had some spray painted over lettering on the doors. Once I rubbed off the spray paint and was able to expose the lettering, I realized this was a wagon I remembered from my youth when it was new. Over the years, we both held up pretty good.
The short bus, if you did not know what it was for , then you rode it
I wish I had been there! That wagon was at the Spring Reunion also.
That hand lettering on that wagon is only a couple of years old. Looks real nice though. The guy inheritted the wagon and had that lettering added after he got it. He drove it to both reunions this year and he lives in Minnesota! A feat in itself!!!
That sure is a nice looking 58 DJ from IL, along with many other nice rigs. wish I had gone.
That’s my brother, Don’s, ’63 Wagon. He’s owned it since he was about 14 when he got it from our neighbor, who was also named Don – so the lettering is a nod to the original owner and to my brother. My brother had a friend do the lettering awhile back so it would look old. I’ve written a few stories about Don and his Willys, like when I tried to drive it off ramps and put it in forward instead of reverse (whoops). If I have time I can post a link to that story. I have it somewhere on my computer…
HI Myrna,
Thanks for the addition information about your brother’s wagon. I know I’d enjoy reading the stories and I think others would also. Please feel free to add a link to your stories here in the comments section or just email it to me at d@ewilys.com and I’ll make sure to post the link for readers.
Thanks,
– Dave
Thanks, Dave.
I found I have one finished story for sure. I’ll post it here or email it to you soon!
