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 .
This article from the January 1968 issue of Willys News shared news from the 1958 Chicago auto show. To the left is a rare photo of Willys’ Economy Delivery Truck. Here are other photos from past Chicago shows related to jeeps. And this one from the 1959 show.
A reader found this on Google Chat. Maybe someone who readers eWillys knows something about this?

“I (Steve Noland) have tried several other forums with no luck. I am trying to find the current owner of an FC I sold years ago. I am posting a link to the page where it was later sold. I contacted John to get the buyers info but he did not have it on record. My purpose it to get the CLEAN, OPEN title to the current owner. I have no interest in this truck, I just want to get the papers into the right hands and maybe provide some vehicle history to the current owner.
Thanks in advance for your help.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9995. I’m wondering if the seller meant $19995? At $9995 this looks like a great price.
Nice looking wagon.

Looks mostly stock. Could be a good “drive as is” while restoring bits at a time.
“1947 Willys Jeep. Very good condition with minor surface rust (Patina). Original condition with only newer style wheels and seat covers changed. Motor rebuilt 2000 miles ago runs like a top. Good Willys for restoration or just a nice driver. Price Firm compared to the junk out there for 2500.”
It has a fiberglass body. Has some extraneous diamond plate. Gas tank has been moved to the rear, along with the filler.

“’47 Willys CJ2A for sale. Restored by the previous owner, this Jeep is a nice little runabout with some flair. I bought it from a Navy man who painted it in the livery of the ship on which he served and used it at one of their reunions for rides and a photo shoot. If you are not into naval history, the markings are all vinyl and could be peeled off. The frame was stripped and blasted, then treated with a preservative paint for auto frames. The fiberglass body is, of course, impervious to rust, but the tailgate and grill are original. The Jeep has a newer BesTop, made in the USA. The tires were new Firestones installed with the resto and now have less than 600 miles on them.

Steve’s got this set of cool vintage floor mats for sale that were from JC Whitney. Looks like it would fit a CJ-5.
“Genuine antique JC Whitney still in the original box floor mats. One for the front of the cj and one for the back, both have the word Jeep on them. These are back in the days rubber was rubber. The front appears to be formed with Whitney craftsmanship to fit over the sensual hump on the floor board that many admire but won’t admit in public.
You aren’t going to find these rare accessories anywhere else.
Did I say rare genuine antique JC Whitney floor mats?”

“For sale is my 1961 FORD Military 1/4 ton tactical vehicle M 151 or “Mutt”. Clear PA title! NEVER CUT!!! New wiring harness. 4wd works, motor purrs right along. Typical Mutt rust, leaks/drips… battery box, hat channels, minor body rust and dings. Comes with top, doors, side curtains extra wheels and tires, manuals.
The blue light and siren are for show only and don’t work, the Mutt is mocked up to be a Military Police vehicle. Not shown is a full sized, white/black magnetic strip that says MILITARY POLICE which goes on the windshield, right below the glass. I had that made from an original reflective door decal from Fort Campbell, circa 70-‘s when I was an MP located there, and is just how our jeeps were marked then. …

Steve let me know that these to jeeps were auctioned this past weekend. One was supposed to be a completely NOS, non-restored jeep in mint condition. However, I thought the data plates looked a little too shiny? There is a good shot of them late in the video. The MB sold for $24,000. The restored GPW sold for $25,000.
Here’s the link to the video:
