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 .

Chris Tracy, the parts manager at Brileya’s Chrysler Jeep in Vermont, is looking for an engine for what I believe is a 1942 MB. They might be willing to take any military block or even a civilian one. From the email, my sense is they don’t know much about the jeep or block they are seeking. If anyone can help him out, that would be great.

Has some mods.
“VIN stamped & plated by CHP. Registration is current. Clean title. Jeep was driven to its current location and has been non op’d and not driven for the past years. It has been garage kept and is clean.
A new fuel tank was purchased and installed in 2013 due along with a new battery. The jeep runs and is drivable but 2 tires no longer hold air. The jeep needs a set of new tires. It’s been primered and is ready for paint.
I no longer have the canvas top pieces.
Restoration was started years ago and left un finished. The engine has been disassembled, sand blasted and reassembled. It is very clean under the hood. THIS JEEP IS WAITING AND READY TO BE RESTORED TO IT’S FORMER GLORY.”
Glenn spotted this one. It’s listed as a 1953, but has a 2A windshield.
“1953 Willys Jeep Original, with an original Willys plow. Asking”

Glenn tells me he has known the restorer and jeep for many years. By the sounds of the ad, it is a being referred into a Tuxedo Park looking jeep?
“1963 Jeep CJ3 Restoration nearing completion. Still needs light mechanical and tail lights wired. Repainted very rare original “Indian Ceramic” sort of a coral or pink. This is the Tuxedo Park Model which was an early attempt to move the Jeep upscale. Chrome windshield hinges, grab bar, etc. Very original Jeep. I bought it over 20 years ago from the original owner. PTO winch from new. Fisher plow from new. A little bit of original paperwork also. Was a convertible top. Ragged but good for patterns if you want the original rather than reproduction. Has rust underneath. Runs really well. Everything works.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(02/11/2016) Too bad the plastic on the top is in such poor shape. Cool old top.
“Willys Jeep 1947: 39,000 miles, original condition, paint, tires rims, never dented, clean restore-able condition. This rare Willys is loaded with extra options: jump seat, wipers, plow, full canvas top, engine original, has all clips on nuts nothing looks worked on. Found in a barn. Has the original key.

<– Beginning | Day 2 – Thursday March 10th: We Forgot to Pack Our Maps? –>
Zollie (a male) is a Shitzu Pomeranian. He’s more cat than dog, fearful of his own shadow. He’s most brave when camped under our bed. He tolerated the situation as best he could, even if his expression suggests he’s being tortured. Those are his Easter bunny ears.
Day 1 of our trip to the 2016 FC-Roundup started slowly (See our trip overview here). My wonderful, unpredictable wife decided that coloring Easter eggs and taking a photo of our dog Zollie was an important task to accomplish prior to our departure. While I was not amused, Zollie was even less enthused about the idea. I think his face said it all, “Oh, the inhumanity!” However, he’s a good sport and the photo session ended fairly quickly.
Today’s trip was a quick drive to Twin Falls.
Once we made it out the door, we drove for five hours until we reached Boise. There, we stopped at the new Boise Co-op in Meridian, which is a definite step up from the downtown location. It’s also much more convenient for us, because it is a short hop off of Interstate-84. We will be back!
Next we ate dinner at the Boise Fry Company. The burgers are good, but it is really the fries that bring you back. In the bowl is a large order of purple potato fries (they have 7 or 8 different kind of fries you can choose and something like 10 different dipping sauces as well). Next to the bowl of fries is a bowl of brussel sprouts that were very good. It was the first time we’d seen those on the menu and we’ll order those in the future as well. 
With full bellies, we waddled out the jeep and drove the rest of the way to Twin Falls.
Tomorrow, instead of taking I-84 (the fast route) to Salt Lake, we plan to drive south to Wells on 93, then cut east through Wendover, drive through the Salt flats, then on to Salt Lake City where we’ll dine with my two youngest kids. We’ll be spending the night in the Provo-Orem area. On Friday we’ll be heading back to Nevada and, after hitting the National Park & Ely (pronounced Eee Lee), will head south until we feel like stopping.

James was visiting Washington, D.C., this week and found this jeep hanging from the ceiling of the American History Museum.
I believe this is a CJ-5 APU, though it could provide some other service. Either way, it’s something I’ve never run across.

Here’s an interesting document.
“ook was placed in a stack exposing the cover to some oily-like residue that produced two 1 1/2″ inch stains upper right area. Did not want to continue listing without noting this change. Looks worse than it really is. I add another picture at the end in detail. Thanks! Wonderful and rare book. 8.5 x 11″ roughly. 58 pp. US Army Tank Automotive Center. Very good condition with owner name in pen and small stain “stripes” on upper-right cover.”

There looks to be value here.
“1961 jeep willys . Too many projects ,so selling this one..Engine runs ,but smokes. 4 cylinder, Chevy ?( It’s old has sight glass on fuel pump). Drive line seems good. Drove around yard a bit was some noise in front passenger side ,thinking u joint. No breaks at all Will have to be trailered or towed . dose have tow bar though,
I do not know ,type / gear ratio of axles ,
This Sat in a garage for ten years and is a project vehicle. Not something you are going to put a battery in and drive. ……! That being said I think it’s priced very good for what it is.”

If it runs, maybe worth a look. Seems to be missing a rear wheel.
