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 .

“Ladies and gentleman, I present to you a once in a lifetime chance to purchase a piece of classic American history! No it’s not some stupid piece of artwork or a legends of NASCAR commemorative plate set, this is real life changing stuff. I’m talking about one of the finest all around, all terrain vehicles to ever bless this nation with it’s presence! A WILLY’S JEEP! O, you think a four wheeler or stupid side by side is what you prefer?
UPDATE: Paul Barry shared some photos of the truck shown below. The hamilton toy wrecker is cute.
Paul wrote, I kept asking about the tow truck. I guess the owners got tired of me asking and said if I wanted the tow truck I had to buy all the Willys stuff left over from the dealership. Shucks!
The story behind the truck is it was ordered from Toledo with a Canfield wrecker and was delivered in 1955 along with a new CJ-5. The truck arrived in red primer, as it was to be painted the yellow and blue AAA colors, the business was a AAA station since 1927. The pair of jeeps arrived very late at night and as was the custom the transport just dropped them off in front of the store. When morning came, only the CJ-5 was there, no tow truck to be found. I suppose phone calls were made and the truck was supposed to be right in front. Someone came into the station later that morning and said they saw a tow truck stuck in the riverbed back at the crossroads. So they took the old wrecker and recovered the new one In the Eel River (ed note Ferndale is just south of the Eel River). The local hooligans stole the truck and since it was delivered with only a couple gallons of fuel, ran out of gas while “wheeling” it.
=====================
A Ferndale Willys dealer originally used this truck wrecker to tow disabled vehicles. He also used it as a customer demonstration vehicle.
According to a February 1956 article in Willys News This jeep owner was using a jeep-a-trencher to launch his pipeline business.
Charles shared pictures of this odd French vehicle called a Laffly.
This unique South Africa Personnel Carrier was owned by the Union Mine. That’s one strong looking roof! In the last photo it looks like there’s another one of these in the background. See new ones here.

This is a rough project.
“THIS IS A VERY EARLY PRODUCTION WILLYS MB. IT HAS SLAT GRILL AND REAR WILLYS SCRIPT. THE VIN IS I02095.
THIS CAME FROM A FARMERS FIELD WHERE IT HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE THE 1950’S. THE JEEP FLOOR BOARD IS VERY RUSTY BUT THE REAR IS PRETTY GOOD. THE MOTOR WAS COVERED AND HAS OIL IN IT. TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE ARE STILL IN THE JEEP. THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT WILLYS TO RESTORE GIVEN IT IS SUCH AN EARLY PRODUCTION. PLEASE SEE ALL THE PICTURES WHICH INCLUDE A LOT OF PARTS. NO TITLE. WILL PROVIDE BILL OF SALE.”

Information and specs beyond the brochure are difficult to find. Even good photos of them are rare. If anyone has any additional information on these, email Robert at buckydodle@yahoo.com.
Below are some pics of the jeep:
There must be some other photos of these Ferris Jeeps somewhere.

(12/06/2014) Solid militarized CJ-2A.
“This is a hybrid Willys CJ2A body and chassis, with an MB front end, with correct military accessories, and correct WWII Olive Drab green paint, made to match that of the WWII Willy’s MB. Ready to drive. It cold starts first try every time, runs smooth and drives straight. Converted to 12 Volt system. 4 wheel drive is fully operational. 8,000 miles on original 4 cylinder L head Go-Devil engine. 3 speed – T-90 Transmission. 5 brand new military style tires. Always garaged. The body has been restored, minor rust on frame. Includes PTO winch on front end, which is operational but does not have a cable. Comes with authentic soft top from a Ford GPW. Locations of choke and throttle do not match that of an MB, but can be moved to correct locations. Includes spare cylinder head, all gaskets necessary for an engine overhaul, brand new spare Solex Carburetor, new spare intake and exhaust manifolds and gaskets. This jeep is more reliable than my daily driver; I really don’t want to let it go and know I will regret it when it’s gone so come get it before I change my mind. ”
No pics provided.
“1947 Jeep Willys CJ2-A project or parts for sale ($2500 OBO). I have most everything but the body. I started this project over 10 years ago and time/space/money just haven’t been on my side. The body was trashed when I got it and has unfortunately been disposed of. I have the windshield frame, tailgate and front seat frames. I have the motor and transmission and all of the drive-train. I have a new front left axle shaft, 4 brand new tires and tubes, 4 original rims and a couple of mis-matched spares (most have been sand-blasted), a nearly complete bearing kit and many other components needed for the rebuild. I do own the original “Jeep” stamped hood, but I do not have it at my location. I am unsure if I ever had the title, but I will scour all of my records for it. I am very sad to give this up, but it is time.”
