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 neat vintage ad from the Toledo Blade, December 28, 1958, tries to root the jeep in wooden rollers and early wagons.

Some folks were interested in more photos of the Smokey Bear Music Box, so Marty Tilford shared some good photos of his.
The music box is a convertible CJ-5 jeep and Smokey Bear with 2 cubs riding inside. The CB radio cord is rubber but all other material is resin. Music box plays “TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROAD”, which is a John Denver song. Measures about 4-1/2″ tall and has a base measurement of 6″ x 4″.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller notes the tire is brand new. I’ve never seen a desert dog quite like this one. It looks more road friendly with a tighter tread. Seller only has one of these for sale.
“Up for sale is a NEW Formula Tire 11-15LT Desert Dog Outline White Letter.
One tire is available.
Older stock.

“This is a high hood Willys, mostly original with the exception of the engine, which is from a 1964 L head Jeep with the intake valves in head. I am selling this for my brother who has a grand distaste for things digital. He rebuilt the fuel system a few years ago replacing the tank, line, pump, and carburetor. The engine was rebuilt when he installed it and has been driven very infrequently since. When the Jeep was purchased from a seller in Iowa, it had no title. It now has a Washington State title but has not been registered for several years. The odometer reads 38,850. Not sure if it has turned once or twice. After my brother became the owner, he took the Jeep apart to the frame, painting and undercoating it. Unfortunately he had to store it outside, and the Jeep has suffered the Northwest rains. It is running but rust in the fuel tank occasionally clogs the line. It is a good start for a restoration or a hotrod. ”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/02/2015) Runs and drives, but not roadworthy.

“Up for sale is this classic 1974 DJ5C Postal Jeep. This has been my daily driver for a few months now and I sincerely wish I did not have to sell it. It is right hand drive and equipped with an AMC 232 inline six engine, paired with a Borg Warner automatic transmission. The engine is amazing and produces more than enough power to pass people on the highway!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Listed as a 1957, it may be a combination of a DJ body and 4WD chassis.

“I am selling my 58 willy jeep! We love this thing but have no time for it anymore . I had planned to completely restore it but do not have the time or money to do it .
