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 .
It seems to have a little bit of lean to the passenger side.

Original Hurricane L-134 flathead 4-cylinder engine (rebuilt in 1993) and a newly rebuilt 3 speed manual transmission with electric overdrive. New brake systems, new seat belts recently installed.

It doesn’t run at the moment, but it looks solid.
“For sale is a 1975 US mail jeep in great shape. The jeep was bought at an auction and was in perfect running order. However it has been sitting for about 10 years and I do not know if it runs now. It only has one seat and all controls are on the right side of vehicle. The tires that are on it now are flat but haven’t tried putting air in them. Its been kept inside a barn since it was bought. Give me a call if you have any questions.”
No pics provided.
“Up for sale is a 1949 willys. The motor is a good running 225 buick v6 but will need a water pump as the existing one leaks. The drivetrain including the trans, transfer, and diffs are original. The body is in fair shape for the age, showing some rust in the usual areas but easily fixable. Fenders are solid, having some filler but no rust what so ever just rough bodywork. Has new starter installed and many other brand new parts as well as used that come with it. It’s a good base for a project but I decided to go with a Landcruiser instead. Call or text me for more info and pics…thanks! 575-740-4023”
There are lots of pics of parts, but I can’t tell if they are all for sale or not.

The 545th Military Police Company has seen action in a variety of places. Some of this history is captured in a “Pictorial History of Vehicles” page they’ve assembled. Naturally, there is a section on jeeps. Below are a few of the photos. See all the photos here: http://www.545thmpassn.com/Vehicles.htm
This 1949 color photo shows the yellow and black paint scheme:
545th MP Co. Yellow Jeep, Camp McNair, Japan 1949
I think the purpose of this vehicle is pretty obvious:
This jeep was utilized exclusively to escort VIPs’ and General Officers at Camp Drake Note the abundance of red lights and the siren
This photo shows a good view of the black striped hood:
545th MP Co yellow jeep at Camp Drake, Japan circa 1949
Some of the M-38A1s had an unusual paint scheme:
545th MP Co. Willys Jeep near Mt. Fuji, Japan 1954 – 1955 — M-38A1
Doron Segal from Israel shared these photos. In memory of his father, Doron has rebuilt a 1942 GPW with the number “4062”. His father served in the “Samson Foxes“.
The two photos below are from a fifteenth club event in Israel, 2010 (see more current photos here). Doron can be seen driving his GPW in the first one:
Here are some vintage photos. They jeeps shown are a mix of MB/GPWs, CJ-2As and a Lefty CJ-2A. It looks like the rear extension was a must-have modification. Note the number on the jeep in the first photo.
David Silberman forwarded this vintage jeep business card. He writes, “Here is a scan of a business card from a Willys dealer in the area. They (brothers Ike and Joe) were an associate dealer and were very good with parts and repair. They also had a Koenig backhoe on a Jeep truck, which they used to dig graves, among other uses.
We bought a 1953 Aero Ace from them in 1955, and in 1958 bought a 1947 CJ2A. The Aero cost $1,000 and we got 200,000 miles out of it. The CJ was $300. We kept it until we traded it for a new CJ5 in 1960. They went out of the Jeep business in the early 60’s. I attended the auction of the place about 8 years ago. Joe was still alive at that time.
This brochure that Marc found shows the CJ-3A employed in a variety of jobs. The use of the triangle in the illustration is interesting.
“This listing is for a vintage advertisement. It is an ad for Willys Overland Motors of Toledo Ohio and their universal Jeeps. The ad folds out like a small poster. There is a dealer address stamp on it. I am not positive but I believe this advertisement is from the 1930’s. It is filled with information and pictures from that time frame. It is roughly 17″ x 11″ when it is unfolded.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150.
It could use some restoration.
“$150 or trade (let me know what you have)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
The consensus is that this wagon is the same one as this 1956 single-door Florida wagon. The only difference we can spot are the license plates.
“Restored 1957 Jeep Willys, finished in blue and white. Mechanically sound: runs great, starts right up (it has a Buick V8 under the hood). Transfer case has been rebuilt. Tires are like new.
Cosmetically: It has never seen snow since being restored, and it has won multiple shows. No bondo, this Willys was restored properly. Very clean inside and out. Has single delivery door on the rear.
Clean Kentucky title, 2 sets of keys.”
This is worth a look.
“This Willy’s had a frame off restoration in 2007/2008, and has approximately 303 miles since restoration. Very little rust on frame or jeep body, original tub does have few bondo spots from previous owner, but professionally done. These body tubs can be purchased new and easily installed if a new looking Willy’s is your style – although, this Willy’s looks great as is. Strong original engine that was also re-built at restoration. All gauges work except the fuel gauge. 4×4 is perfect, as are the shifting capabilities. Radiator has been re-cored, so like new, and new thermostat was also installed.
Windshield w/wiper motor and complete extra frame included, orig. manual too. Frame is in excellent cond. sand blasted and primed!
I’ll deliver free within Vt.”
