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 $1000
Sean spotted this sign. It’s a bit rough.
“FOR SALE WILLYS APPROVED SERVICE 42″ , 2 SIDED PORCELAIN SIGN
I have only found one other sign like this for sale and it is on E-bay for $3495.00. I am asking $1000.00 . Sign has some damage and was shot 6 times but never penetrated sign. One side of the sign has latex paint on it but most of it came off with a water hose. Sign came from dealership in Sylacauga Alabama.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Given the PTO and hardtop, this may be worth a look.
“Old’s v6 motor 3 speed, ramsey winch. stored indoors the last 30 years. Have hard top.”
No pics provided.

The September 1941 issue of Popular Mechanics (pg 3) features this photo of a Ford GP landing on to the ground. The article suggests there was a great deal of excitement over the jeep’s possibilities. I’ve included some of the text from the article (which covers a variety of war vehicles). The write discusses the potential for jeeps, then mentions a four wheeled ‘tank’ with independent suspension. To me that sounded a lot like the Tucker Combat Car.
Is the postcard text written in Dutch?
“Original old from circa c1940s postcard. WWII theme
Condition : Excellent ( No bends, tears or creases ). Light paper yellowing
Size : Approx. 3.5″ x 5.5″ ( 9 x 14 cms )”

I guess this is where someone stands if they want a jeep taxi?

This is listed as a 57 jeep, but looks like a CJ-3A to me.
“1957 willys jeep 4×4. Awesome piece of history. These things were built well. Made to military standards. Motor has been rebuilt and runs great. Trans shifts good. 4×4 hi and low works well. This would be a cool jeep for a swap or restore project or drive it as is.

The staff at Bo’s Hotrods in Sanford, NC, just finished work on Jim’s restored CJ-2A. It looks like they do some good work. The jeep will now head to Maine where it will enjoy life in the country.
Here are some ‘before’ pics. As you can see, it appears it was thoroughly rebuilt.
Roberto Flores forwarded this illustration yesterday. Some of those lifted jeeps are REALLY tall!
Jeep just announced their Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition. This is supposed to harken back to (or at least celebrate) the simplicity of the original civilian jeeps: the CJ-2A. When I look at it, I don’t see “2A”. However, I like the WILLYS sticker on the hood. Here are a couple links to more information:

Apparently this ad is for Synthane Technical Plastics related to coils and/or plugs. Unfortunately, the ad is small and not show in totality.
