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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(09/22/2014) Some external scenes from the ‘Alaska’-based show Northern Exposure were filmed at a small Eastern Washington town named Roslyn. You can learn more about the show from the Roslyn Historical Museum Society. So, it is very possible this wagon was in the popular show.
“This classic 1955 willys wagon was in the tv show Northern exposure it has a early sbc motor in it and it runs and drives. It has clean title and is licensed.”

(09/23/2014) Not quite the jeep that “rode to the front line”, but still worth a look.
“The same jeep style that rode to the front line during World War 2, this 1947 Willy Jeep is an American Classic. As rugged as it is blue-blooded American, this Jeep is in great shape, with hardly any rust in its solid steel construction. It has an original Flathead 4 cylinder, a 4 spd tranny and both high & low gears. It’s of course 4wd, and was also overhauled two years ago, with new springs, exhaust system and new tires! Willy Jeeps are classic Americana and symbols of patriotism that will always hold their value.”

(07/09/2014) It’s a project.
“1953 Willys CJ3B for sale. It is a project very near completion. I was going to build this into a crawler and beach vehicle.
The Good-
The body and frame have some surface rust but are solid. The F134 4 cylinder engine is original and has 130K miles on it. It ran 2 weeks ago when I finished wiring the ignition. The Carter carburetor was rebuilt a few months ago. The 12V alternator is brand new. The transmission is a NP435 6.68:1 first gear from Novak Adapters(http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/np435.htm) this with the adapters was around $2500 the transmission is rebuilt but if you looked at it its brand new. Novak did a leak down test before shipping. The transfer case is a Dana 18 2.46:1 low range. It was rebuilt before bolting it up to the transmission. The axles are Dana 25 and Dana 44 the gearing is 5.38. The final drive in low range in this is 88.4:1 plenty to crawl. The wiring harness is about 2 weeks old also.
Paul’s added more panels to his M-38. The gray panels look real nice inside. Somehow, he managed to arrange an earthquake in Alaska just to test the design!
I purchased more shower curtain rods so I could speed up my progress on installing the Willys interior panels. I’m excited seeing the improvement the fabric panels make over the bare stainless and it seems Mother Nature is excited also. Yesterday (Sept. 25th) we had a 6.2 earthquake rumble thru town and this evening we had another smaller earthquake measuring only 5.0. The 6.2 quake managed to knock some stuff off the shelves in the garage and some items stored in the crawlspace were broken but we had no damage to the house or the Willys so I’m a happy guy. Here’s a picture of two more interior panels being held in place by 10 curtain rods (upholstery tensioning devices) and you can see the gray fabric panel slightly above the center of this photo. Tomorrow I’ll install two more overhead panels and prep the two vertical corner pieces if the earth quits moving long enough for me to reposition the tension rods.
As you might have noticed, I clamped the rear window upholstery panel into position this morning. The interior panel is protected by a 2 inch thick white foam overlay and cardboard taped to the stainless protects the surface from scratches from the vise grip clamps. 
Two inch thick foam overlay protects the upholstery panel and spreads the clamping force. Two smaller finished pieces are installed and clamped by the famous adjustable tension rods. I’ve used 34 tubes (12.9 ounces each) of black silicone to attach 15 interior panels and I still have 18 panels left to install.
I never expected shower curtain rods and foam insulation were necessary tools for installing upholstery in the Willys. As you can see on the right Vise Grips, thin plywood and pink foam are also needed. Yes, we embrace diversity here in the northland. 
UPDATE: Don’t forget about the 3rd Annual Swap Meet in Siler City, NC, this weekend.
East Coast Willys Restorations is is hosting the East Coast Willys Association’s 3rd Annual Swap Meet on Saturday, October 4th, in Siler City, North Carolina. I’ve donated a few items to help benefit the NC Vietnam Veterans group.
Nice shot of a new-looking CJ-2A.

This has some damage. I don’t know how rare (or not) these are.
“Here’s a Very Interesting and Vintage “Colorado San Juan, Colo. Mtns. JEEP CAPITOL OF THE WORLD” License Plate. It’s made of tin, measures 4 1/2 ” x 12,” and does show some age/use/wear. That’s why we took FIVE Pictures.”

Here’s another Wheaties ad on eBay. Has a little bit of a Ford GP look to it.
“This old comic book ad (which ran in publications as a promotion, and measures approximately 6×9 inches) has a little wear, but is still in pretty good shape! Not a photocopy or more recent reproduction.”

At $15.95, this is a good price on the early mailer.
“Here is an Original 1945 1946 Jeep CJ-2A Mailer Type Brochure. Size is 10.75″ x 14″ folded and opens to a nice large 21.5″ x 14″ to show the views in the listing. Condition is N.O.S.

This looks like a good jeep.

Unusual color scheme. I keep thinking smurf-mobile.
“This Jeep was restored in the late 70’s early 80’s. The owner spared no expense as he intended to use it in local parades. He had the entire Jeep stripped and repainted with the Blue and White scheme shown. The engine and transmission were rebuilt at the time and everything was replaced to new condition.
After using it briefly in several parades the Jeep was tucked away in 1984 and has not been seen since until now! The Jeep is running and driving but as you can see there are some areas that will need to be addressed.
The paint is in fair shape and there is some rust starting to show with some separation on the hood and fenders. This is a running and driving Jeep powered by the 2.2 litre 134 engine with a three speed manual transmission and 4 wheel drive.
This is a fun Jeep that is ready for a new home and with a little TLC can be ready for the next parade!”

Buz spotted this unusual Ford Bronco that was used by the Glen Alpine police department.
“Vehicle Starts/Runs/Drives, Inline 6 Cylinder Engine, 3 Speed Column Shift, Four Wheel Drive (4×4), All Original, Doors and Top are not original to this vehicle but are period correct. The vehicle originally was used as a parade vehicle, then was converted to be used for the Dare Program. Quarter Panels are clean, seats are original with no tears, floor panels look great. Vehicle is currently sitting outside and is not driven much…very little would need to be done to make this a show vehicle or daily driver.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7200
Looks solid. Is the tailgate welded on to the rear?
“1948 willys jeep. Runs good. 4 cyl. New tires. Seats.”
