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 .
The last of the “Kaiser Willys News” editions. In March 1955 it switched to just “Willys News”.
These are so cool. Thanks for posting.
This is interesting reading, four Jeeps used to clear snow on Wisconsin lake; reminds me of how the City of Clifton, NJ would check the thickness of the ice skating pond in the early 1960’s by driving a city owed CJ3B over the ice. There was one time this method didn’t work as planed, and the 3B sank through the thin ice. had to call Johnny’s Service Garage to winch it out.
The grand prize in the Dealer Derby was a Kaiser Darrin. A Darrin was owned by a local gentleman who lived on Crooks Ave, Paterson, NJ in my neighborhood. In the 1950’s, it was always parked on the street, and then about 1960, it was no longer seen. Rumor had it that he recognized the value of the Darrin and it was hidden away in his basement. Well need I say, that was hard to believe, till one day some 25 years later, (80’s) the house was up for sale, and there it was in the driveway, covered with 25 years of dust. It’s amazing to me how these EWILLYS posts always provoke a story from my past, stories I never forget. Thanks Dave for EWILLYS and making my old age enjoyable.
Thank you Mike for the stories. Great stuff!
That made me laugh … poor sacrificial jeep!
