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 .

Listed as a 1950, it appears later than that. It has a post 1956 grille.

“Fc170 dually backhoes rough shape, backhoe is all there. 6 cylinder 3 speed cab is waisted. Let me know if you have any questions. We had some visions for this but no time.”
This could be worth it for the right person.

I lucked into finding this original Seattle Belly Paneers Jeep Club Patch! Can’t be many of these left. It is 7″tall x 5″ wide.
This unusual ad features a jeep in part of it. What looks like a “what’s in a name” ad, is really an ad for the Ethyl Corporation.

Here’s another ad featuring a jeep, but this time it is for Barbasol Shaving Cream.

Mike spotted this estate-sale Jeepster Convertible. This looks like a great one for the price. If I weren’t buying a different jeep at the end of Feb (yep, we head out on Feb 27th), I’d consider this one as I’ve though a Jeepster Convertible would be a neat vehicle for around these parts.

David shared this CJ-5 which appears to have a Tux Package. Pics are small.

“All original hurricane four-cylinder, four-wheel-drive, four seater. I am the third owner and just had everything gone through and replaced that needed to be done. The only thing wrong with it is cracked windshield and leaks oil. Engine does not smoke. Everything works as should, drives great awesome little piece of history. ”
This has a variety of updates, though someone removed the front of the roll cage, but left the plates. It has a Warn overdrive.

“1950 cj3a Buick 215 v8 3 speed Needs complete floor pan Runs and drives great Clean title”
I wasn’t planning on doing a racer update today, but both Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist were having issues last night loading pages. So, since, I took pics with the body yesterday, I figured I’d throw these up here. The cage is almost done, then on to floors and seats. OR, maybe shock mounts and rear sway bar.
UPDATE: This post originally appeared April 2, 2016
The February 1959 of Man’s Magazine contained photos and short report from the annual Jeep Rodeo in Yakima, Washington. Unfortunately, most of the pics aren’t a whole lot different from the March 1959 issue of Modern Man Magazine, featured in 2013.
Man’s magazine turned out to be a lot less risqué than the cover image and headlines might suggest. There was even an opinion article expressing concern over how American college football was fast becoming too professionalized.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/16/2022) Appears in good shape. PTO bar has been cut off and the area where the spare tire mount mounts looks redone.

Is the an original Maverick? Was that center console an option for wagons (or for Mavericks?)?
https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/d/sachse-1959-willys-mavrick-wagon-rare/7577369859.html
“1959 Willy’s Mavrick wagon very rare matching numbers ! Original motor inline v4

Could be a good price.
“Titled as a 1944 Ford GPW but im not exactly sure what it is. I’ve been told the frame and below are from a CJ-5, that it has SBC 350, muncie 4 speed, dana 20 transfercase, centered dana 44 rear Dana 30 front. I bought it in May and only drove it a few times, wanted to keep it for EJS but I’d rather put funds into my Willys Wagon. In Spanish Fork under a cover. 5000 obo”
The blue one is a parts jeep.
“1962 Willys Jeep CJ5. This is a great survivor !! Very straight and complete. The transmission had issues but I have spares to repair it. I also have another CJ5 that will be included.
