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 $1500.
Mark listed this over at jeeptruck.com.
“Reduced price to sell at $1500 is an early 1950’s Willys Overland 4X4 Truck. It has 68,445 miles on the odometer and has a four cylinder engine that runs fine and does not smoke.”
This is a project.
“I have a solid little willys that I don’t have time to finish. All of the metal is solid and good (one small patch in back needed). It has a 289 hipo mustang engine that runs. All the other drivetrain is stock but the steering box was relocated. This is a project but it would make a great winter project. Not much cooler than a old flat fender jeep. I have other parts too! Steering column, seats, roll bar etc.”

(09/13/2013) It’s got some rust.
“Don’t know the year and has no title. Was running great in 1986, and has been stored under cover or in a barn since then. Has some body rust, but only minor surface rust on frame and drivetrain. Trans. won’t go in gear, but transfer case seems to shift normal. Motor turns over but has no spark. I just sold the property where this was stored and loaded it onto one of my trucks so I would like to go ahead and get this sold (it is outside now). Local delivery may be possible.”
UPDATE: Thanks for all the well wishes. We had a wonderful evening! Next updates are Monday morning. I also picked up my T-18 from Daryl (thanks) and some assorted parts to help complete the drive train.

Saturday was my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!
L to R: My mom’s sister Marilyn (AKA my book editor), Mom (Marjorie), Dad (Karl), and Dad’s brother B.B. This was taken on October 19, 1963, the date of their marriage.
We’ve traveled to the Seattle area to spend the weekend with family to celebrate, so eWillys will be a little disrupted until Monday morning’s posts. During our trip from Pasco to Seattle we detoured north to Wenatchee to pick up my great aunt. While there, we spotted a couple vintage jeeps (photos I’ll share on Monday). We even discovered (via the web) a “Jeepers It’s Bagels” Bagelry, which apparently has nothing to do with jeeps. Unfortunately, it will be closed by the time we arrive back in Wenatchee on Sunday to investigate.
Here’s a 1947 short story in “The Land” about the importance of the ubiquitous jeep to at least one farm in Australia. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-page11396417
Charles forwarded these photos.
Here’s another great Baltimore Sun Archive photo that Marc found. It shows a jeep named Kitty traveling through a canal in England during the winter.

Charles forwarded this photo of a CJ-3A and trailer, with a few more jeeps in the background.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1950.
Joe spotted this Jeepster that maybe only a Green Bay Packer fan could love?
“THIS IS A UNIQUE ARIZONA BODY FOR THE PURPOSE OF YARD ART OR BRING BACK TO LIFE WITH RUNNING GEAR, GAUGES, ETC, I PRESENTLY HAVE AS A GREEN BAY PACKER KIND OF BAR CAR BECAUSE OF THE FLAT FENDERS*MISSING HOOD & GRILL HAVE LOCATED PARTS***DOES NOT COME WITH INTERIOR SEASTS AS SEEN IN PHOTO***NO TITLE ***”
Here’s a nicely modified 3B. I will be in Seattle this weekend.
“Built for hunting & summer fun. This Willy’s has been together a long time, old school built. Buick V-6, T-90 tranny, T-18 twin stick transfer case.
Dana 44 rear end with Detroit locker with Summer Brother axels. The front has a tru-trac locker. Both 538 gears, Excellent tires and wheels. Swampers 33×12.50, Warn 8274 wench, full cage, tilt wheel. List goes on.
This Willy’s is very well maintained. Adult owned and driven. I also tow bar for flat towing. Just like any other Jeep comes with extra parts. These pictures were taken two weeks ago and the wench and tires do go with the Jeep. This Jeep is not apart in my garage. This is a turn key Willy’s.
Thanks for your time.

This runs and drives.
“1982 Classic Mail Jeep. Model DJ-5L, Delivery Jeep. Once an official postal delivery truck. Equipped with steering on the right-hand side. One seat and lots of room for hauling. Locks up nicely.
This is a practical and fun vehicle! Starts good and runs good. The 4 cylinder engine is very sound and strong. Clean carburetor. Not bad on gas. Also has a good transmission system (automatic). 2 Wheel Rear Wheel Drive. Has many new parts installed still under warranty including: Alternator, Starter, Battery, Coil Pack, and Headlights. It also has a new Ignition Switch, new Spark Plugs, and new flashers. All lights and turn signals work great. Good heater. Brakes were recently redone. Tires decent.
Some things on this vehicle still need repair. Needs body work. Needs a wiper motor, needs a speedometer/odometer cable, and needs a floating sensor for the gas tank. Needs a new gas tank (the current tank holds gas but has a hole in the top part). The interior could use a little care; for example the seat is worn out and there’s a rust hole (2in. diameter) on the driver’s side wheel well. The body shows some rust, especially in the rear underneath. All original parts for this vehicle are available at PostalJeep.net.
Simple vehicle, easy to work on, enjoyable to drive, plenty of clearance for crawling underneath. Original mail tray, original key, original drivers manual included. Call 859-756-4191”

“Generator is a U. S. Navy World War II era unit powered by a original Willy’s Jeep four cylinder engine. The Generator was manufactured by O;Keefe and Merrit. It appears to be a PE-95G 10 KW and is designated a U. S. Navy N-15. It will provide 120 or 240 Volts at 60 hertz. It is started by using the exciter field of the generator and not a separate engine starter. Most of these generators saw little use during WWII but were used extensively in the Korean and Vietnam wars. A unit almost identical to this one showed up on the TV show Mash in one episode. Own a piece of history!
Generator has two brand new 12 volt batteries. Also included so that one can operate “off the grid” or have a ready source to power a home or anything else is a:
RONK 7205A 200 Amp Meter-right Transfer Switch that list new for about $800 It does not appear to have had any use.

This doesn’t run and the rear portion of the body isn’t original (or has been modified).
“Vintage 1949 Jeep Willys CJ3A; 2 door, hard top coupe; 6 volt, 4 cylinder engine, dual transmission.
Selling for $2500 OBO.
Bought this Jeep intending to fix it up, but never found the time. Everything on it is all original. The hard top feature is quite unique for Jeep Willys. The engine did run on last start up, but has not been maintained or started for several years- it does not currently run, but should start again with a small amount of work.
This would be a great restoration project for someone to take on, but it will require some time. Feel free to stop by and take a look. It is located about 6 miles northwest of Wausau, WI.
As it does not currently run, the buyer will need to make arrangements to haul or tow it.
Call 715-675-7576 for inquiries or to view. Do not respond via email.”

UPDATE: Was priced at $3000. **SOLD**
(09/29/2013) It appears restorable.
“This is a one of a kind. Super cool eye catcher. It’s all here it just needs restoration. Motor will run, but bring your trailer.”
