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 .
Nice shot of a new-looking CJ-2A.

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.

This looks like a good jeep.
” From the Famous ZX 150,000 Acre Ranch eastern Oregon/ Nevada border since 1880’s Was sold at auction,when ranch sold in 1984/85 I purchased it from buyer in 1986. It was used by owners and VIP,s to tour the ranch when they were there. It is totally original, I had the engine bored 15 over, Rod & Main bearings crank turned. It was painted Red over the original red, has only about 3000 miles on engine . It has been in my garage, never outside since 1986 Seats are redone as original in black. It is has the original exhaust in perfect condition. Windshield and Glass , Wipers, instruments, all original only replaced parts are the temp gauge and the steering wheel. I do not use it anymore, I keep my car outside so I could use the space.Also trans was overhauled with the engine. Spare parts include, engine rebuilt, transmission rebuilt.New spare wheel and Tire not mounted in photos. Also New seats redone not in photos. Any questions I will answer, or make contact by phone anytime. Good luck bidding on this rare 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?

(09/17/2014) The drains holes have been filled.
“You’re looking at a really nice Willys Jeep CJ3B. The jeep is in overall great shape. It has the 3-speed transmission with hi-lo shifter as well as 2wd-4wd shifter. Runs & drives good. Clutch is good. Shifts properly and stays in gear. 4-wheel drive works as it should. Brakes all gone through, body and frame in excellent condition, new gas tank, new seat cushions & covers, newer battery, suspension gone through, and a fresh coat of paint. A couple of the gauges aren’t working, but otherwise everything works as it should. The body doesn’t look the greatest (lots of dents and dings), but it is rust free and painted. New floor pans, body mounts etc., were installed before the paint job. The frame is also remarkably rust free. Tires are like new. Hope to get all the fluids and gear lubes changed in the coming weeks, but if I don’t, I’ll include all the gear lube I bought for it. Also comes with a box full of spare parts and a spare tire/wheel that hasn’t been restored yet.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

UPDATE: I’ve added some more pics of what might have been General Walker’s jeep. It shows some of the modifications made to it.
http://www.bevinalexander.com/korea/korean-war-photos.htm Brigadier General F.W. Farrell, Korean Military Advisory Group chief, confers on August 18, 1950, with Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker (seated in jeep), Eighth Army commander, during the height of the Pusan Perimeter battle. (U.S. Army photo.)
This video shows McArthur decorating Walker. Note Walker’s padded jeep seat.
This photo shows what I think is McArthur’s jeep (?). It isn’t quite the same as Walker’s jeep, but does have the same handle positioned over the cowl.
===================
General Walton Walker, aka “Johnny Walker”, was killed as a part of this jeep wreck. What’s curious to me is the mod to the area under the rear of the jeep (gas tank??) and the modified steps (don’t normally see that). You can learn a great deal about General Walker here:
