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 February 1956 photo and caption from Willys News reported that the Louisville Apothecary, which had used jeeps for delivery since 1946, was welcoming their first DJ-3A Dispatcher to their lineup.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Looks pretty good for having say for so long.
“1948 Willys two wheel drive pick-up. Pictures show where I picked it up a couple years ago after it had been found sitting for 30 years. I purchased it from the estate of the original owner. We have cleaned it up a bit, and removed some of the small parts anticipating that we would restore it, but we have changed minds and are going a different direction. Original engine is in it….we have not tried to fire it up. Body is in pretty good shape. This will be really nice when fixed up, or easily converted to four wheel drive. More pictures available upon request. Asking $1500 OBO. Open to offers, and may even consider some trades….no junk though.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.

Buz shared this unique story of Keith’s Adams’ trek across Australia in an extra-ordinary 1948 Buick Sedan. Keith and his family filmed their adventure in color. It looks like an interesting story.
http://northernsafari.com/project/buick/
At one spot the family encountered a modified MB/GPW that looks pretty dead:
Alex’s friend took this photo of a M-201 Hotchkiss. There are about ten of these in Tahiti that are leftover from the French nuclear test period. Only one or two are in running condition.
Thanks to Dan for spotting this just completed auction. A rare Jeep Lego set just sold on eBay for $1,069!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Has the area by the driver’s side step altered, but that’s no big deal. Looks like a good price. Possibly a former column shift?
“1946 Willy’s 4×4 Jeep. She runs but is old and tired. It was a barn find that I originally put a lot of tlc and money into but have gone on to other interests. So far, I have changed the gas tank, gages, head, fuel pump, carburetor, converted it to a 12v system, along with many other items to get it running and to restore the engine to its original state. The brakes are mush so it still needs some tlc. It’s been sitting for the last couple of years and I no longer have time for it. It looks like it was originally a column shift but has sometime along the way been converted to a floor shift. Please feel free to call if you have any questions.”
