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 hunter has a ’52 title, but a CJ-2A body. It might be a mixed bag.

<– Day 4 – Mar. 23rd: Hurray for Ouray | OVERVIEW | Day 6 – Mar. 25th: TinkerTown and the Turquoise Trail –>
Rusty and me with his FC-170. This seemed like an appropriate photo to start the post since the FC Roundup is only a few days away.
We woke up a little lazily on Monday morning. We knew we had a long drive ahead of us from Durango to Santa Fe, but we wanted to peruse a little of Durango before we left, so we hunted down some breakfast using an iPhone App called Ness (that won’t be around much longer), which calculates the time of day to suggest nearby restaurants (for mornings it will find breakfast places for example) and provide ratings. That’s how we found the Durango Diner in downtown Durango.
The Durango Diner had a wide selection of breakfast items that looked good, including two eggs & a chile relleno, which was my choice. I expected to just get the eggs and the relleno, but instead there was a heap of hash browns with green chile sauce (love that New Mexican Green Chile sauce, even in Colorado). It was a lot of food and if there’s one thing I’ve learned on these trips, eating light saves money and bathroom stops. So, I ate a good portion then pushed it away, reluctantly.
I liked the sauce enough to get a “to-go bottle” of it.
We left Durango and quickly found ourselves wandering through northern Idaho, or what looked like northern Idaho to us. Southern Colorado felt remote and looked beautiful as we drove through endless forested valleys with the occasional ranch.
Today’s trip from Durango to Santa Fe
UPDATE: I had mistakenly labeled this a BRC-40. Craig corrected me.
Neat photo with caption. The Associated Press labels it a Blitz Buggy.

<– Day 3 – Mar. 22nd: Old Bones and Old Jeeps | OVERVIEW | Day 5 – Mar. 24th: Talking Jeeps w/ Worn Rusty Hubbs –>
Here’s our selfie at an overlook just south of Ouray, Colorado. Ann is putting on a brave face for the camera, but she’s very scared in that photo. This overlook hangs over the edge of a steep cliff.
With beautiful blue skies overhead, we started the day in Grand Junction with our sights set on the mysterious Colorado National Monument. Having done no research on it, and trusting Dean’s advice from yesterday, we started at the western entrance of the park near Fruita.
Today we drove from Fruita to Durango.
After the ranger station, the road climbs quickly, switching back and forth, tunneling through rock, and teasing the driver (who should really keep his eyes on the road according to Ann) with beautiful views of the Grand Junction Valley. Those travelers familiar with Southern Utah will instantly recognize the red sandstone walls, the juniper trees, and narrow canyons.
After four miles of driving, we arrived at the visitors center, a complex perched near a canyon wall with a view toward some of the amazing pinnacles that dot the landscape. Inside the visitors center we learned about John Otto, the man that made the Monument happen. His early vision included an amazing road full of switchbacks that would allow cars to traverse the park from one end to the other. Hi dream might not have become a reality had the Depression not happened, for it provided all the cheap labor ($1/day/per person) he need to carve a twenty-three mile road through the park.
After driving the road, it’s my opinion that it is one of the truly unique features of the park. There aren’t many places along the drive that don’t feature beautiful views. It is one continuous bit of eye candy from start to finish.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Wait, that’s not a government issue mask! The three pictured from left to right are: CPL. Arthur Smith of New York City, NY, PFC. Matty Furyal of Detroit, Michigan, and PVT. Carl Carlson of Norwalk, Connecticutt.
“1944- U.S. troops in Italy with a mask of Mussolini attached to the bumper of their jeep.”
As Marc noted to me, the photo appears more likely to have been taken in the late 1940s. Perhaps it was a photo that wasn’t released until 1958?
“You are bidding on an original press photo of Willys Motors Employee in Vintage Jeep. Photo has staple hole top right corner & waving Photo measures 8 x 10 inches and is dated 6/17/1958.”

Listed as a ’48 and a CJ-3A, so unclear if it is a 2A or a 49 or later. It appears to have a replacement body at the very least.
“I’m always looking for something new, Jeep CJ, hotrod, muscle car, fox body mustang conv. Must be in great shape to trade for my Willys Jeep
Willys is a 1948 CJ3A, new everything, Chevy 4.3, th350, ETC, way too much to list, just needs paint to finish. contact for more info, MUST include your trade info.”

Maybe some value here?
“I will sell or trade for an AR15 223 or 308. This is a project that my son and I started but other things became more important!! Starts runs and drives… Needs new body but everything that is embossed with WILLYS is in good shape.. Hood, front grill etc..all new brakes and some new lines a few years ago. Frame is SOLID! I have a parts jeep to go with it… No engine and frame is junk! but trans, front and rear axles, original rims. I have the hard top that may go with it depending on the AR and shape!!”
http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/4388820026.html
It’s missing the side steps and the parking brake at the very least. It appears to run and drive.
“This is a daily driver that entertains original running gear. Although the numbers have not been matched on the engine it’s believed to be the model L-134 Hurricane. This unit is not overly pretty but an excellent start for a rebuild. New brakes, wheels and very good tires. Every where we go we find ourselves engaged in fun conversation about the “jeep” My ambition was to put it back together to show the 1951 Marine field colors as my wife’s father was a decorated marine during the Korean war campaign. Please serious inquires only,”

It only gets 11 MPG? That seems a little low to me.
“Selling my mail jeep. It runs and gets 11 miles to the gallon, has a rca sound system. Its a right hand drive. Comes with a full set of chains. Needs some work though. Asking $2000 for it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
