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 is a 1942 Ford Jeep GPW general purpose Willys.The serial number on fire wall indicates that the year of manufacture was June 1942. This is the complete body except grill and handles. Obviously there is no drive train as shown in the pictures. The rims are aftermarket. These are parts left over from a restoration.
I wanted to get 250 for the hood, 40 each for each fender, for the tub I wanted 400, the windshield I want 100. For the four rims and tires I want 40 bucks. This of course is a project, and you should look at the pictures carefully. This is a cash deal no deliveries. If the ad is up then the item is still for sale.

Last month I learned about Paul Bruno’s new book, The First Jeep. “The First Jeep” is the initial release in Bruno’s Project Management in History series which will continue to investigate the entrepreneurial lessons that can be learned from compelling historical projects.
I’d planned to read it and report on it, but my time this month has disappeared (where did it go??), so I haven’t had a chance to read it yet. However, I wanted to make sure I mentioned the book in case anyone wanted to order it. As soon as I get done reading it, I’ll update the post with my thoughts. I have thumbed through it and learned that it’s got both early jeep history coupled with a parallel discussion of lessons to be learned form Bantam’s experience.

Mike forwarded this interesting video. You may remember the post last month about the jeep that was ‘buried’. It turns out the dealer has a much broader and interesting story. Due to the tight dealer competition, Bay King Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has chosen to create a unique customer experience to differentiate themselves from their Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, competitors. As my wife put it, many dealerships you walk into give you the predator/prey feeling. Bay King’s approach will appeal to a lot of folks.
The slow paced video includes a look at the jeep burial as well.
This article from the May 1955 issue of Willys News discusses the ‘new’ Jeep Vehicles and Equipment Cut Costs and Get More Work Done brochure. I’ve included some screen shots from the actual brochure.
This is just the article for sale, but it’s cheaper than the whole magazine (when you can find it). You can view the whole article here: http://www.ewillys.com/2014/11/15/1946-fortune-article-on-willys-overland/

It’s a project.
“I have a 1946 Willys cj2a with a lot of work done on restoring it. I also have a 1948 Willys cj2a body with excellent frome and axles in this deal.

The floors are great, I made a 2×3 sq. tube frame with new spring mounts, the trans and transfer case are rebuilt, I have a extra trans that is no good and I have a complete engine that needs rebuilt. I have lots of new parts and the 46 is complete except no steering wheel. The 46 is a great looking project.
