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 $2650.
Though the engine is having some oil pressure issues, the body itself looks like it would make a good restoration project.
“Nice old Jeep. v6 3 speed, nice tires and wheels,hard-top runs but shows no oil pressure. Nice old rust free CJ5.”
It runs.
“For sale is a 1948 Willys CJ 2A NO TITLE this is a project engine runs with 50 pounds of oil pressure on the dash gauge. Transmission shifter will not move out of neutral. Transfer case shifts from Hi/Low and in and out of 4×4.”

(12/15/2013) Seller does not have a title, but has a replacement title form.
“While driving down a street, we spotted an old dusty willy’s jeep. It belonged to a widow’s husband and was sitting for many years collecting dust near the back of her house. We were told that the jeep was running until he passed and it sat since 2010. It is in good shape for being a 67 year old jeep! It has a 327 with aluminum intake and camel bump heads, automatic transmission, a removable tow bar, a front windshield that smoothly tilts, and locking hubs. There is a rack to hold two Jerry cans. The body and the floors are surprisingly solid and there is only a small amount of rust on the driver’s side, which is an easy repair. There is a removable tow b
We were given a signed DMV Title Replacement form, so one just has to go to AAA or the DMV to get a new title.
Sold as is. Call (310) 309-1294 to make an appointment to see the jeep or if you have any questions.”

I had no idea there were this many Pepsi Surreys produced. I can’t believe someone didn’t get this photo in color. Eighteen of these were sent to Tulsa. I can’t imagine there aren’t a few stragglers still in the area. This photo is from the March 1960 issue of Jeeps News.

Dallas Durham recently visited the Silent Wings Glider Museum in Lubbock, TX, and photographed some of the toy jeeps. After searching the internet, I learned that Silent Wings is the official museum of the National World War II Glider Pilots Association. It looks like an interesting place, so when we go through Texas (maybe after the FC-Roundup), we’ll definitely stop there.
Here are a few links related to Silent Wings.

They have at least one jeep. I’ve seen a photo of the jeep inside the glider and outside, so I can’t guarantee how it is currently presented. Here are photos published on the Jurgen Chronicles of it outside the glider:
Here are Dallas’ photos of the toys:
This photo was published in the December 1978 issue of the Silent Wings Newsletter. Santa was exiting a Waco CG13. Read more here and look for December 2013.
Marc forwarded this photo. When I first saw it, I thought these guys were doing a German salute. The jeep has an unusual paint job. Is it something specific?

Wayne spotted this bed extender.
“For Sale an original Koenig Tub Extender for sale. If you’ve ever seen one before, you’re squarely in the minority.

Over the holidays I discovered several volumes of a book titled “Pictoral History of the Second World War”. Here’s an example of one of them at archive.org. The series is full of amazing photos, including some vintage jeeps photos. Most of the photos were taken by various news services. I’ll be sharing these on occasion. Here are a couple:
Might be worth a look.

Hard to tell how much value is here.
