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 .
I’ve seen a variety of jeep matchbook covers, but I believe this is the first with a military theme. It doesn’t seem to be advertising anything either.

I believe this “I was the one that couldn’t even change a tire” postcard has the WAAC working on a jeep. It’s not one of the better jeep drawings we have seen.

(11/21/2014) This is a good reason for a trip to Moab.

You are looking at #11579. It has the correct rear hubs, column shift, windshield, and tool indents. No doubt this will be gone by the time I wake up Wednesday morning.
“We have a 1946 Willy’s Jeep for sale. This jeep has been sitting in storage for about 30 years. It ran when it was put away but currently will not turn over. It not in bad shape for being 69 year old.”
John shared these photos taken by his cousin Eddie.
“My cousin Eddie Bachmann got drafted in May 1944, ended up south of the battle of the Buldge around Hagenau, France, in january 1945 as a mortar man. The 42 Division went on to liberate Dachau in April 1945 and by mid summer were occupation troops in Zell am See, Austria. By that time he was a 6 stripe Sergeant and still only 18. Here are some photos of his buddies and Jeeps. He later became a Catholic priest.”

This 1956 testimonial by the Carolina Tool Company was published in the May 1956 issue of Willys News.
This issue has some great stuff. Note the last page with the modified truck. I wished the photos were clearly.

(07/25/2014) Needs a slave cylinder.
“48 willys cj2a. Great condition. All steel rust free. Frame is mint. Por 15. Buick 3.1 with a 3 speed. 34/9.5/15 super swampers. Very quick. Tops out around 50 mph. Headers to dual. Sounds great. Motor was rebuilt last year. Needs a slave cylinder. Very simple job. Right on the side, not behind the tranny. Definitely a head turner. Injury forces sale. Make me an offer. Available whenever for a showing. More pics available. Call, text or email for more info.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(10/06/2014) Runs and drives.
“Up for grabs is my 1963 CJ6. I bought this rig for a project but they are starting to stack up too deep and its time to clean out the shop. For those that don’t know, the CJ6 is the longest CJ ever built. Its unique wheel base and distinctive length make it highly sought after and very rare.
The Jeep has an inline 4 cylinder engine and a 3 speed transmission (not sure if they are original, but they are era correct), its got a twin stick differential and and Warn super low reduction case, its a true workhorse in the mountains. This Jeep is in outstanding condition and is a prime candidate for a refinish or a good ranch jeep. It runs in its current state and can be driven, but the brakes could use some work. The tub is really clean with very few dings and no pretty cancer free. I tried to detail the FEW rust spots in the pictures. The top is not the correct top but it could work with some modification, no other tops come with this Jeep. Buyer can either take it the one thats on it or leave it for no charge. This thing is a true peice of american excellence just waiting for a good home. ”
