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 internet is moving at a snail’s pace for some reason this evening, so only a few updates tonight. We went to the movies and saw the Martian tonight. For some reason my wife and an ex-girlfriend of mine both think Matt Damon’s character reminds them of me? Maybe the just want to stick me on a planet far far away? Hmmmmmm.
These will be auctioned Sat 17th.

Lew blames me for his newest CJ-2A 🙂
Lew wrote, In the past couple years that I have been watching eWillys I have bought two Willys that were shown here … But this latest was completely your fault. I didnt need a CJ2A. But after watching them for that time on your site, I contracted the disease that I thought was isolated to the wagons, and maybe trucks. So now for at least a year I have looking pretty hard for one for my wife, except she didnt know it and I wasnt sure she would go for it anyway.
At a museum a few months ago I showed her an old MB and asked what she thought. To my amazement she said she thought it was cute and would be fun to drive. That from a woman who has driven pretty much pick ups her whole life thus far. Well a couple weeks ago one showed up in a nearby state that fit our needs and at a negotiated price I could justify. I went and got it and she has been driving it around our farm until it gets registered.
These are checking out the fall colors here in N. UT. We both really enjoy this. Should never have sold our MB ten years ago, and the wagon lacks the topless views, so due to your efforts, we now have this and big smiles.
So, I just wanted to let you know it is your fault that my wife and I now have another Willys and the smiles that come with it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
“For sale or trade is what we believe is a CJ-2A
The jeep has the transmisson, and 4 cylinder engine still intact but is missing the carburator.
The frame is in solid shape, no spots in which it is rusted through, no holes or anything. The front end is in relatively good condition too. The fenders are also solid, not super rusted however there is some spots in which they have rusted through. The dash has the original gauges, shifters and steering wheel. The headlights pictured are also in great shape. ”
No title.
“Listing my 1952 Korean war Willys M38 Jeep. S/N 70728. Runs good but does smoke a bit. Body is super with only rust on floorboards in front and one small place on drivers side. No dents!! Frame still has paint on it in places. Gas tank has a small leak but can easily be repaired. Paint is ugly!! Was originally O.D. Green, than primed and painted Air Force Blue and Lettering on the hood that says “Personnel Services”. I sanded it a bit to be able to read what it said. Under that the original unit numbers are just barely visible. Than it was painted red. Has been converted to 12 volt system but the 24v wiring harness is still there. Drives and shifts fine and no problems with transfer case either. Will need a brake job. Had military mud flaps on the rear so I suspect it was used on the flight line at some point. VERY RESTORABLE!!”

Ann leaves on Friday morning to join her mother in New Mexico and help her drive the motorhome somewhere (It’s a to-be-determined situation). Thus, I’m spending some extra time with her, which means I’m behind on emails and posts. So, my apologies for unreturned emails. I’ll be catching up on Friday!
It looks like Chrysler-Fiat-AMC-Daimler-Benz, or whomever owns them anymore, is resurrecting the Jeep Grand Wagoneer for 2018.

I just noticed that I haven’t been receiving emails for all the comments readers have made about posts over the last few weeks. So, if you’ve wondered why I haven’t responded to some question, it’s because I never received a notification email. Here’s what happened:
At the end of July and in early August a hacker attempted to gain access to eWillys through brute force by repeatedly guessing at my password. Somehow the hacker recognized that deilers was my admin username and tried to obtain the password. The attacks came from servers all over the world.
The security measures I have in place slowed the hacker considerably. Still, I thought it prudent to change my identity from deilers to LostBiscuit. I then changed deilers ‘role’ from an administrator to an author, hence the change in the comments ID (in case anyone noticed). I figured that even if they cracked the deilers ID, there wasn’t much they could at the authorial level.
A couple days after I made the change I noticed the number of comments on posts seemed to slow, though I still received some comments. I just figured people were out enjoying the summer weather.
This week the attack finally subsided. So, that’s some good news. But, today I happened to notice comments on several posts for which I never received notification emails. The strange thing is I have been receiving some email comments, so I’m not sure why I haven’t received them all, but I suspect it has to do with the changing admin ID. I’ve just made an admin change that I hope resolves this.
So, if you’ve been waiting for me to respond to a comment, feel free to shoot me an email (d@ewillys.com) directly on it. Sorry for any problem.

“1984 AM General mail jeep. Needs a new started, but the engine runs good. Was supposed to be my first car but don’t have time and money to make it so. Have both sliding doors for it.”
Dexter forwarded this odd Craigslist ad. I’m not sure why the seller doesn’t sell the coins and then go buy a jeep.
“IF YOU ARE SELLING YOUR JEEP/WILLYS FOR $3000 TO $6500 PLEASE READ ON.
I have 9 gold coins from 1850s to early 1900s, they weigh 4.44 OZ,Nice to have in an emergency, you can always use gold to barter during war or apocalipse, but the value is in their collect-ability, the st gaudens ,liberty, and indian head coins are very beautiful I want to trade for a willys or cj5 jeep must be 1975 or older and have a 6 or 8 cylinder engine, no 4cyl please, will consider all , trade all or some coins for your jeep, will travel to you if serious, please send me pics of what you have, and we can make this happen without waiting.
These coins where in a safety deposit box and when my parents died the bank denied the existence of a sefety deposit box for 10 years, I finally saw a box drill out notice on the state controller wed site, they still charged me the drill charge and 10 years storage fees !! where bought for me by parents in the 1960s and I was planning on giving them to my kids, but since I have not been fortunate enough to have children I want to sell or trade them for something I can enjoy, these coins will continue to go up in price AND they are real works of art to look at..
Email me for a quick response or leave phone number and I will call you back asap. thanks.”

Ron forwarded this ad. Gary is looking for booklets, information, and spare parts for FJs.
“I am interested in buying information on Jeep FleetVans both FJ3 postal van and FJ3-A Commercial van. Highway Products Company in Kent Ohio built and assembled the bodies for Jeep for the Post Office Delivery “FleetVans” from 1960-1966 +-
If you or a family member worked there and have any pictures, history, parts, blueprints, records from that time; please get in touch with me. I will be glad to buy originals or copies. The history on this vehicle is sparse; I’d like to improve that.
Also I am interested in buying parts or complete vehicles.”
